    Booking strategy & VA vs Qatar coded flight

    I have managed to find a few answers to my questions 1) there is only a 2 hour time frame to change a flight without a fee 2) not possible due to above 3) seems 4 seats are released on VA flight and 2 on QR flights so might be worth the risk to wait 4) not sure of this one yet

    Booking strategy & VA vs Qatar coded flight

    Hi I am hoping for some advice on the best strategy to book an upcoming flight with Velocity J class from Europe. I want to book them as soon as they are released and I have noticed that the ideal flight itinerary with VA8 is released a couple of days later than the other flight itinerary using...

    Award seat change rules

    Just wanted to share an update on what I found. It seems the chat and call centre agents are unwilling to change bookings to a date more than a year after the original booking date. Interestingly, I was able to make dummy bookings for dates beyond a year through the website and app. As a...

    Award seat change rules

    Yes I understand that the change will need to be done over the phone due to the change of origin. To clarify, what I am trying to do is change my current MEL-MUC economy booking to IST-DPS, IST-DAD or IST-MEL business on the first week of May 2026 depending on availability. The points...

    Award seat change rules

    Thanks so does that mean if I move to the next screen on the app after review it won't book it? As it isn't restricting to make the change on the app to a later date over 12 months Would a workaround be to make a change to a random date in Feb 2026 and then that will refresh the 12 month...

    IST - MEL points question

    Spot on.. that is what is confusing me. The advantage rate IST to MEL is 13k higher than ex EU while the saver rate ex IST to MEL is 31.5k less points than ex EU. It really only makes sense to book it if I can get a saver award (which seems impossible as I pressed f5 constantly until it was...

    Hi I am new to using Krisflyer points (via Velocity transfers) and am looking for J flights from IST-MEL & IST-DPS. I looked first thing 355 days out at 8am Singapore time and unfortunately the flights were immediately put on waitlist so waiting for the next release. I have noticed that the...

    Transfer timeframe

    The Citi points have landed in my account in under 24 hours which is great. I can now set up for my first automatic transfer to Velocity. As soon as I turn on the automatic transfer to Velocity from Flybuys, does the transfer go the following day or the next business day? Trying to maximise the...

    Transfer timeframe

    Thanks for the reply and giving me confidence that it will go through in time. I will wait to see if anyone responds tonight that has experience with Citi to Flybuys. I think you are right that it should be similar to your time frame.

    Transfer timeframe

    Hi I currently have 128k in Citi points and have never transferred to Velocity before. I also have around 164k in Flybuy points and there is currently a 15% bonus offer for your first automatic transfer. Wondering what people have experienced as the amount of time required to transfer from Citi...

    Checked baggage on reward & paid fare

    The rewards MEL-SCL-GRU flights are all showing as LA in the app. I still have to buy the paid LA flight from GRU-VIX so wondering if anyone knows whether luggage will go all the way to VIX or only to GRU. If it would go all the way to VIX, what would happen if I don't have a luggage allowance...

    I have an upcoming trip which is booked via QFF for the following legs - MEL-SCL-GRU all on LATAM. I need to get to VIX and attempted to book a paid flight from GRU-VIX via the Brazil LATAM website (as the flight cost was cheaper on the Brazil site compared to AU). I got all the way to the end...

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Yes she has a guaranteed spot due to her time and is signing up today for the race. We went to Berlin last month for her 4th star and she ran a pb of 3:02. For that race, we arrived in Germany Thursday lunch time and her body clock seemed to be right by the time the race started on the Sunday...

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Good to know that there is extra capacity scheduled which makes waiting less of a gamble (especially if we are happy with an economy ticket). I really wanted to go to New Orleans but the hurricane season is a risk which we aren't prepared to take. GF hasn't been to South America before and...
