    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    I upgraded from Flex to Business on today's MEL-NTL for $95, $5 over the minimum. Work paid for the flex fare so I didn't mind handing over the $90. Leaving my workmates behind in Y though 😂

    When would inflexible changes make commercial sense?

    Wait, you can cancel a ticket after checking in? Or can you access lounge in BNE without a BP?

    Little things I like

    In a similar vein, I went out to a buck's night and made sure I arrived first so I could start the tab. Not only did I take home points from our $3,500 spend but after everyone paid me back I had more money than when the night started 😄

    Perth to Europe reward seats for 6 people in economy - unrealistic?

    Nicely done! I have to ask, how is it flying with 4 kids? We flew recently with just one (toddler) and that was challenging enough 😂 Assuming it gets easier when there aren't nappies and prams involved. But you know what they say about assumptions...

    Planning to start with Credit Card Churning/ collecting miles... Qantas or Velocity?

    Welcome @huggers I was in your shoes a few years ago, I'm also a European who's settled in Australia. There's a lot to take in when you first start, but as you start earning and learning things will soon become clearer. Don't worry. My aussie partner and I just came back from our first trip...

    Changi airport to hotel with toddler. Transportation options?

    For our 20 minute drive from Seattle CBD to SeaTac we hired a black car service as they were the only ones willing to provide a car seat. We had too much luggage to go on the train. We discussed one of us taking a taxi with luggage to SeaTac and the other on the train with pram, but my wife is...

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Not even in my most active card churning times have I gotten close to 400k. You must have put some big amounts through the cards, yeah? I'm starting to move towards Velocity now, seems easier to redeem for trips out of Aus. Still planning to earn and maintain PC with Qantas though. Loved flying...

    What cheeses me off

    I use Skype Credits, get a pretty good rate for most numbers. Then just use Skype app to call. Anyway, back on topic, WCMO is kid started day care literally a week ago and I've already caught the first of many-to-come day care bugs 🤧

    Limit by salary

    The actual process appears - to me - to be highly opaque. I haven't found any sources online that can substantiate their claims on these matters. There are many other factors than salary that goes into it, e.g. running expenses, number of dependents, mortgage, number of years with employers...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I have a brother with a lifelong obsession with the Cosworth. Sadly he never got to own one (yet, maybe after his motorcycle phase ends) so in his 20s he'd get regular Escorts and import the styling kits and paint them cossie blue. This was back in Norway in the early 2000s. It's nice to see...
