Ya, basically the more status extension it runs, the less value it will be for many frequent flyers, especially those use cash to booking the premium seats. These days it is just way to easy to access a lounge, that in most cases the domestic lounges here is no better than the terminal itself.

I'd hope airlines can build more business/first class only lounges, and those with status (or pass/invite/whatever) but flying economy have a separate lounge, just like what SQ is doing at SIN. The way currently QF/VA's lounge at SYD/MEL(and more) is just a zoo, pretty much pointless to sit in...

Being a relatively new follower of VA, I've got a question regarding travel bank. Basically I booked a flex fare from MEL-ZQN return over the Xmas period this year, and there is a possibility we are looking at cancel it (Hopefully not needed). From VA's website, I can see if refund to travel...

I've just noticed on ExpertFlyer that some international flights (or many?) are showing some interesting availability now, not sure if this is related what AJ said about opening more awards seats. E.g. QF93 MEL-LAX 24/11 J9 C8 DL IL W9 R6 TL Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 SC NC QC OC EL or QF146 AKL-SYD...

Ya, so basically I will have a trip in Nov flying back from SFO to AKL (UA) and same day back to MEL and the AKL to MEL leg will be on a separate ticket. The airlines currently fly this route are QF, NZ and JQ (pass). Due to all the flights issues everywhere, in case my UA flight getting delayed...

Thanks, I have read this as well. I mean by the terms, it appears I can cancel prior the flight departure time, but have to ring their number within the 24h. As a lowly silver, I am wondering if it makes practical sense if I decides to cancel say within 2 hours time of departure, then try to get...

Thanks to the flexibility rule of QF that awards flights attract no processing fees until end of the year (international ones), but does QF have a policy regarding the latest time of cancellation request? Do I have to cancel it, for a full refund, a few days in advance, or a few hours, or as...

I think the same words probably can be applied to any airlines out there, be it budget airlines like JetStar, AirAsia and the good old Tiger, or really any non-premium airlines. When things go well, they are all great at all sorts of services can be provided (AirAsia has flat bed too). But for...

points posted yesterday! better late than never..

Many thanks @Mr H , that is very helpful information. I logged into Virgin Money, and navigated to the Rewards Status section. I can see the 2 entries for June were showing status of Fulfilled while the 2 entries for this month are Active. So at least this can tell me my points are not lost, and...

I’m well into my 3rd month now with this card, the first month had the points as well as the 40k posted into my velocity account promptly (1 day after statement), but the 2nd month nothing happened so far (6th/Jul). Is it normal to have this kind of delay?

QF definitely gets more social media attentions, particular on those FB groups I am in, comparing to VA. One of the main reasons VA becomes my choice lately is its pricing point, from MEL $500 return to SYD/OOL/ADL, $1000 to ZQN, ~$1500 to NAN/DPS, there is no way QF can provide any similar...

I guess the tricky part for us passenger is to find out what's the cost on the day of purchase. Reckon Amex travel would be able to dig out some more historical info for this or VA will be the one to provide such data?

I did have some calculation in my mind while I was waiting in the queue last night, I paid $500 for the return (thanks Amex), so $250 for the return leg. And the flight for the rest of the night I can move to was selling at $699 flex economy...

Friday yesterday I had a return flight with Virgin Australia from Melbourne to Sydney, morning out evening back. Business class, and booked with Amex travel using platinum card benefits to enjoy the discount. Flight out at 8am was awesome, on time, nice service, heaps of seats in the lounge...

Thanks, yes I was there as in my OP, and there is 1 invitation which I don't think coming from my Silver status.

I was a long time Gold with QF but didn't travel much during Covid, and now soft landed at Silver. As a Silver I believe I am entitled 1 lounge invitation that I can use, however, I can't really locate it. I can see 1 invitation in my account, which, if my memory serves me right, is from past...

Never tried PR b4, and planning a US trip end of Nov at the moment, PR fares stands out as the best (almost half vs the next cheapest one). How's the service of PR comparing to other popular routes to north America, and specifically what's their on time (or cancellation) performance looks like...

Can't find any place mention when the booking will start for the new BNE-SFO route, or I just missed it from the reports or discussions above?

OK, I just received the confirmation email about my 40k points choice, so from Monday night to now Thursday afternoon, about 2.5 biz days. Well will start my card application now.
