No. Which surprised me. I literally walked all the way unchecked into the *A lounge. Very efficient!

I used the new airside connection tunnel to TBIT a couple weeks ago. The DL check-in staff at SJC checked my bag thru to SYD and printed BP. However I was not 100% confident at the check-in desk when they said "VA... hmmm what airline is that?" Anyway, all worked fine in the end!! Note that...

Shot of VPF at the gate taken from the *A lounge (one that JessicaTam took earlier). Boarding soon for its first refurbed flight as VA2.

Yep it was 375k in total for 2 pax - indeed a great deal!

haha! love this description! I think one thing missing from this discussion is the huge difference between priority bags when travelling domestic vs international. My experience domestically has always been good. 95% of the time my bag is one of the first few out. Travelling from LAX and...

With the new points tables switching over tomorrow I decided to bite the bullet and book an EY F reward for me and the mrs. SYD -> AUH -> JFK for 375,000 points with one of the legs in the 380. It will be our first time in F - absolutely can't wait! The booking didn't leave me with much...

whoops, of course! :lol:

No probs, all yours. samh004, kindly update accordingly.

This Economy Space + product sounds just like Delta's Economy Comfort Plus. And like Delta, VA should offer these seats for free to WP's. I doubt there are many WP's flying Y anyway so they could still earn good revenue from everyone else. This would also be a great addition to the already...

I can also vouch for Android. I gave up trying to check-in on desktop with VFF details - it just doesn't work. As much as I love VA - their digital experience is woeful and miles behind every other carrier. Anyway, all works OK in Chrome on Android, so have just gotten used to doing it that...

I would LOVE to know how VFF/VA determine this. Mostly because I'm a total data geek. I was upgraded to WP with 20 SC's short but I'm sure there are many factors at play here. I had future travel booked too. They could also be looking at things like total revenue earned over time, fare class...

Haha!! And maybe an Android app! I continually shake my head at the state of their tech...

C'mon guys. Transferring out to KF just because of this? VFF only recently adjusted points tables. They can't mess with them too much, or they risk pissing off all points holders and it would be seriously downhill from there.

I arrived into T5 from SFO last month on Delta. There was no airside connection so had to exit the terminal but TBIT is only a short walk away, no need for bus. Clearing security at TBIT didnt take too long either (just line up in the first class line, I was travelling Y and flashed WP boarding...

Hi all, I'm planning a US trip and am interested in finding out whether J Reward Seats and J Flexi Upgrades comes out of the same pool of availability? I always thought they did but it made no sense to me because a Y Flexi pax would be parting with upwards of $2,200 to buy the flexi fare...

It was automatic but took a week or so after the flight.

Exactly the same experience, I hit WP with 980 but had future flights booked. From memory I hit SG with 490 too.
