I'm sure they will immediately be picked up by the ME3, if not Riyadh. Otherwise, bad news for Qantas, their capacity issues are getting worse.

Just wondering what would be the course of action if you can book reward seats between SYD and DOH for example, can you book the final leg return economy and do self transfer? Do you go to the transfer desk?

Sort of in line with the citi changes (also owned by NAB). 30 days is ridiculous though, many people are going on travel trips over 30 days, especially if you combine work and holiday travel. Won't be using NAB for any holiday transactions that's for sure.

Gold for me.

Fake news. I fly all the time, and I've only once seen the coughpy bettys burgers, they were tiny little sliders which were 80% bread. Pure PR nonsense, nothing of substance. There has actually been a significant degradation in food quality in the last 6 months I feel. It was mediocre before...

The lounge itself is actually super nice, just the food sucks - but that's not an Adelaide specific problem, all VA lounges have the most basic slop (though still beats qantas flagship sydney international business lounge). I also don't know what's happened with the big mugs for coffee, they...

This is a total guess based on nothing, but I think this is based on your spend, so the more you use it, I suspect the more likely they are to refund the annual fee.

Just out of curiosity, are you spending much on the card itself or not really and just holding onto it? I'm trying to think what the reason could be, I suspect it must have something to do with engagement either in their special offers, spending - some combination of these things.

Can you explain why? I have always flown JQ before I became a VA status holder, and now with them not offering good value for international travelers, I am looking to go back to JQ. JQ ironically usually has the newest aircraft in the Qantas group, and the new 321s and neos will have a lot of...

Yes, my flights (the ones I searched) are in June, after the 12th. For example, 13th to 25th of June SYD - AMS. Would you mind showing me a screenshot of where you see the discount? I don't even know what/where to look for, but the final step before buying the prices are the same to me...

It seems like this impacts all citi but also citi managed cards (for example, the virgin ff card, coles cards, etc). I agree, it's not a great change, the first 2 will probably impact people who are very misfortunate and end up with rehabilitating injuries, which is not great, but I suppose we...

I hate to brag but, I have 2 citi cards including this one, and they emailed me (proactively) saying they would refund me the annual fee. I was planning to close both, but now I guess no point.

Delft is right next to Rotterdam, and IMO is one of the most beautiful cities in NL, you should go for a day. The "Delft Blue" originates there, but they have picturesque canals that have algae unlike many other places in NL, it's very beautiful place to chill and eat by the canals. Leiden is...

I have another question, I've tried to A/B test a few times now both on the phone and computer, and there is actually no difference in prices between using the "VAI25" code or not using it. Is it actually not working or does it not apply to all routes or something? I am looking to book SYD -...

Thanks all, had a fun time 👍

But then you'd probably just book the reward directly, no?

Interesting, thanks - didn't know about this page. By the sounds of it, given there are no reward availability, it doesn't seem all too likely.

Oh man I've been waiting for this forever! Finally in the country long enough to make use !

What do you mean VA legs? I am talking about the codeshare flights operated by QR. Do you mean the flights with VA callsign? That's literally what I said - to Doha only (ie. not also onwards to Europe).

Loyalty goes both ways. Look, the idea in principle is not so bad, just that VA has zero international routes to destinations that matter, and we're stuck with overpriced codeshares, where booking directly is significantly cheaper. You could literally achieve the same effect of just going with...
