    Qantas Premium Cabin sale (book by 18 June 2025)

    SYD/MEL/BNE-HNL in premium economy for $2,399 return isn't bad.

    Qantas Club - Delayed Renewal

    I'm not aware of any specific incentives for re-joining Qantas Club if you previously had a membership that lapsed a year ago. If your membership lapsed in the last few months, you can avoid paying the joining fee again if you purchase a membership renewal and back-date it to the date when your...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Correct. (Or at least, the SQ legs need to be booked on VA flight numbers - only possible through the VA website or a travel agent who knows what they're doing.)

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    I wonder if Qantas will be a bit "stricter" on these flights with offloading passengers who appear to have any sort of signs of illness or other possible issues upon boarding? All of the empty seats were in Economy.

    Classic Rewards available only when not logged into QFF account?

    Well this is a new one for me. If I search for Classic Reward seats from Perth to Melbourne for this coming Saturday on the Qantas website, there appears to be availability in both Y and J on QF780, the 16:55 departure at the bottom of this screen: But if I log into my QFF account, it only...

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    This is probably a good example of why Qantas has chosen to avoid flying over Russian airspace. There were 411 passengers on Sunday night's QF2. Arranging visas for all of them (plus the crew, I guess) is no simple task. But imagine if they'd had to divert to somewhere in Russia under the...

    Article: Vietnam Airlines’ Great Premium Cabin Award Availability from Australia

    No, you don't necessarily have to book separate flights. Just that searching one-way (i.e. SYD-FRA and FRA-SYD separately) can be helpful if flights aren't available every day. I just searched SYD-FRA on 22 April 2026 and there are multiple options. Once you find an outbound journey you're...

    Article: Vietnam Airlines’ Great Premium Cabin Award Availability from Australia

    I assume you're on the Virgin Atlantic website, have logged into your Flying Club account, and have selected "Search for reward flights" when doing your search from the home page? Maybe as a test you could see if you still get an error if you search for (say) Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City? Also...

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    Second time in 3 years: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qf1-from-sin-diversion-to-baku-azerbaijan-gyd.107599/ I guess, since this isn't Baku's first rodeo with having an A380 full of Aussies arriving unexpectedly, the process of getting visas/hotels for everyone...

    Welcome to AFF :) Where exactly are you getting an error? If you can explain in a bit more detail how you're trying to search, we might be able help further. You shouldn't need to use the multi-city option.

    Velocity Quandary stay or move on

    Sometimes, when a relationship becomes too one-sided, it's time to move on.

    Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles Status Match

    Sounds like poor service from TK, but Qatar Gold is not actually eligible according to the T&Cs. If you're matching from a Oneworld airline to TK Gold, you need to have Oneworld Emerald status. QR Gold is Sapphire.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I thought the information on the Velocity website is pretty clear that if your review date is on/after 1 October, the new requirements apply?

    QF37 to QF1 transfer in SIN

    More likely rebooked onto the following night's QF1 (or Emirates via DXB, at a stretch).

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    This is what the FAQ on the Velocity website says: If you're maintaining an existing tier, my understanding is that your review date is always 12 months after you upgraded into that tier or last renewed it. I could be wrong on this though.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    If you upgrade to a higher status before 1 October 2025, the old requirements would apply as this resets the review date. But if renewing an existing status, my understanding is that the requirements that are in place on the actual review date would apply.

    Credit Card Offers Suncorp Clear Options Platinum Discussion [not offered to new customers from 9/6/25]

    It's a shame to see this card being withdrawn - the net effect will be less competition in the market.
