Top 5% on my three family members cards - so maybe that is about 1% overall :D. I just did a count back and it is 203,000 since January 2020 and 250,000 since 31st July 2019 (is that when it started - or just as far as the Velocity site shows?) anyway - very happy Jan.

Thanks antycbr & MrH - that explains it then - and relieves any remaining vague worries. I previously used TripIt, then went to CMT which sounded THE one - so I'll add TripCase to the list. However - they all compete with my feeble comprehension and reservation/computer literacy 🤪 Still...

It's OK - i have basically sorted it. 😊 There was a second PNR buried within the booking - once I used that rather than the Virgin PNR on the Singapore website everything clicked into place and I now have our seats selected. Still havent worked out how to add the booking to Check My Trip but...

Not sure if I am posting in the correct thread - apologies if not Yesterday I booked online with Velocity points two J seats IST-SIN-HBA for June 2023 (about 135,000 points each). Received the E-Ticket with the 6 digit booking ref plus 13 digit ticket number. When forwarding the flights to...

I cancelled some flights last week - the points arrived about 10 days later (still waiting on the $ reimbursement though)

A couple of weeks ago Virgin changed an upcoming business class flight in August. The BNE - HBA leg was cancelled of a TSV-BNE-HBA flight. When I rang (as the alternative offered flight did not work), the CSA eventually worked out an option that did work. I took the new flight, then she...

That was my problem - i didn't realise that (and now i finally understand what a married segment actually means 🤪 - thank you!). Anyway, flukeing a Hobart agent who knew it saved me giving up and booking a Doha stopover, because I would never otherwise have thought of cancelling the IST-DOH...

I have just booked the return leg of our OWA from Istanbul. An interesting experience. There may be some of interest /help to others here The most straightforward route was IST - DOH - ME/SYD or ADL. The leg from IST - DOH opened up several days ago so I first booked that to lock in the...

No - at a guess on accents it would have been South Africa. (And I am Silver, so no bonuses there). Still a 6-8 week wait for the cash component, but the points should be back with 48 hours.

Qantas surprised me in a good way today! I rang QF 13 13 13 this morning at 09:00 (about a refund) and got straight through. At the end of the call the CSM Joe asked me how long I had been on hold - When I said no hold time, he said that was good - and that Qantas is having a renewed push to...

Thank you all so much for your combined wisdoms - I now have a trial subs to expertflyer and rejoined AFF (the adverts were giving the xx_s) and I'm now studying ++ - return flights should open for me from IST to Aus in about 3 weeks🙂

I have gleaned heaps of helpful info over the years from this thread - thank you all. I'm in the throes of booking a OWA for next year and have the flights over to Europe booked (hopefully nothing nasty happens to change them). Something I have not been able to find - a website that gives a...

Bummer - thanks anyway

Forgive me for being slightly off-topic, but a quick question.... We are flying from US to HBA next year - I initially booked JFK-HKG-BNE-SYD-HBA business award flights, then found two first class award flights on QF8 for an extra 5000 points pp plus change fees. ( Sooo very excited about...

Its now sorted - a suitable flight found by this CSA via BNE cheers

Can someone please advise me on my 'rights' with my current booking issue? We have a J award booking JFK-HKG-ADL next year. I received yesterday a change of flights email from Qantas - which has us arriving in HKG at 14:00 and leaving again at 09:30 (same day). I can't find any other...

We could almost start an Oceania love-in! We have our second Marina cruise coming up August 1st, and I'm v excited!

Magpie10 - agree all the way re Oceania. Can't wait for July We cruised the Inside Passage on Oceania/ Regatta in 2015 - 10 days Seattle to Seattle. Max 684 passengers. It is a really great 41/2 star cruise line and it suits our pocket and the style of cruising that we enjoy. And the dining...

Thanks for that. But I just went to book them - and they were $140AUD each :eek:- so I'm prepared to live with whatever I can still manage choose 24 hours in advance. Wasn't expecting that!

Thanks for that :-) Yes I have, but I was hoping for firsthand knowledge if possible. Last time we had 53A & 53B - I was in the A seat which collapsed under when I put my foot in the wrong place as I was trying to get out quietly in the middle of the night - which tweaked my back a bit and...
