Not sure if you have booked flex fares, I always cancel and rebook during the window for any flex fares I have in the system and I rebook to qualify as long as there isn't a fare difference.

Airlines sell a commodity product - anything telling you different is just marketing. The sooner people realise its a commodity product and realised it is generally priced accordingly, the sooner we get less price whinging and a more BFOD culture norm. Likely better products too in the long run.

+1 to this - albeit for a family member, CSM gave me permission for upto 30 minutes of which we graciously only used 20.

BNE domestic J/Biz till 1130 Can guest 2.

Not that I read, just the method of payment and booking/redeeming date were the hurdles. Only rebooked 5 journeys - will report back if it worked - was only a minor time loss while in the lounge if it doesn't apply.

Please advise on your next big personal trip booking so that I can set an alert. 🔥🔥 I have cancelled and rebooked all my upcoming flex flights with each credit. Didn't ser anything limiting the number of redemptions.

Indirectly related Testing OP-UP data points with no ground staff discussion. QF840 6xJ vacant - no op-up for 2x WP and 1x P1 Prior to covid was quite common to see a few occur - quite surprised this flight had none. CSM mentioned full J was catered for.

I would only consider MH on Intra-Asia if you are planning on chasing OWE status as opposed to QF Plat. I have extensively looked for current status run options, and they are all bare. Best I could find was SYD/MEL/BNE - AKL/CHC J legs getting close to $6/SC

The real problem is the increased demand for monocrop agriculture which means more land clearing. Removing trees is the worst outcome not the food source.

Interestingly - I did some analysis for a former boss to this affect. We worked out it was cheaper to fly privately than the commercial first prices. Also meant he could depart Sydney outside of curfew. I am only a plat but my bosses who travel in J or above international are all P1 and only...

Unsure if exactly relevant - but there is specific table/ adjustment relating to MH fare classes that overrules the table you referenced above. From memory only the flex business intra Asia class (Z) I think it was - earns as business. Everything else is flex Y I.e discount business/ sale...

If your travel is inflexible then your going against the tide. If your travel is flexible you can use tools such as expertflyer to ensure you atleast have a chance at an upgrade ( premium cabins not being sold out well prior to departure). I have requested 3 upgrades and received 2 on...

I feel the largest cohort of upset people are still domestic fliers with irregular travel. Once they get bitten by Virgin will realise domestic is commoditized and you fly on flight timings and price and perception of reliability.

Had approximately 8 J domestic trips this year, routes such as drw-bne / bne-syd and syd-mel. A330 had PDB water/juice but also including one taking drink orders for once we were airborne - was a surprise. 737 - Occurred twice - my observations - dependent on aircraft being on time and...

I know of someone who was given no gratitude at 1380 who had a flight cancelled on the last day of their year that would of qualified them. Needless to say they are a happy Virgin plat ever since.

Additional note - there is more to this from what I have been reliably informed regarding the dynamic pricing model that I don't wish to share on a public forum.

Found a reward Y SYD to MEL with 1 weeks notice and a sub $300 sale return same week. Always going to pay out the nose if you There is an underlying issue in that all the reward and platinum releasable seats are also being taken in premium cabins on all routes. Once a few more seats in J are...

Mel int biz dungeon until 2300 if any of you NZ fliers want to be a guest.

As someone who skirts the rules regularly - I have done this in SIN although using a manner described earlier in the thread. Worked for me - Departed on a SQ flight but used a QF flex booking I rolled forward and then back after it gave me lounge access. Had some $2k locked up for a future...
