    Article: What to expect flying from Sydney to Canada on AC34

    levelnine, thanks for the info. That is unfortunate that they only release seats close to departure, as this was to be the first leg of a large 10/11 week trip (Canada/Ireland/Scotland/England/Germany/France/Singapore). Might have to skip visiting my brother in Canada if I can't secure seats...

    Article: What to expect flying from Sydney to Canada on AC34

    I the last 3 years I have been looking, I have never found a single business rewards seat available on the Velocity website. They are all cash seats quoted in points. I will be availing myself of the concierge service in a couple of months to try to get 2 business seats to Halifax NS.

    Scams like these

    How could anyone fall for this. There are 2 distinct giveaways, apart from the url. Qantas would never say "we are are excited to show our appreciation to our loyal customers" and "we hope this token of our gratitude brings joy to your day"😜

    I know what you mean. I got my car back from the repairers 22/3 from the accident I had 9/1. Now Europcar are trying to sting me $450 for a professional car clean of the hire car saying it was too dirty when I returned it.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    I have had this happen a few times. It always seemed to work out fine, but I always kept the receipt just in case. Also sometimes week one lasts for more than a week and it waits until the end of the qualifying period. With my current deal, the first week runs from 17/11 - 26/11.

    Restricted EY award seats?

    Just a thought, as the Olympics are in Paris next year could this have any affect on availability? Why would they release too much reward bookings if they can sell to passengers going to Olympics? I have been looking for flights to Europe too and haven't found any.
