    Australian Open 2025

    Going to Melbourne now, going to catch week one's action, I think it's better due to the ground passes, and a bunch of stadium games most nights. Bit of a bucket list thing, pretty excited to go.

    Possible with mixed class award (PE and J) on Singapore with Velocity?

    Yes, but you have to book separately, and the points (and cash) cost will be a bit higher. I'm not sure if you can call up and ask them to arrange it as one ticket, but it's worthwhile trying.

    Credit card insurance - Outside of Australia?

    1, 2 & 3 - please read the PDS, I cannot emphasise enough how important that is, every insurance product is different, and the conditions and coverage are different. For my AMEX card for example, I believe (don't remember myself, but I'd check) that you have X number of days (say 90), from the...

    Single ticket to Europe with an overnight layover in ADL

    And since it's overnight presumably it's fine if I leave the airport to stay at a hotel and come back. What about issuing tickets, will the intl legs be issued in ADL also, right?

    Single ticket to Europe with an overnight layover in ADL

    Hello I have a VA (reward) ticket from SYD to AMS with an overnight layover in ADL first ( SYD -> ADL -> MEL -> DOH -> AMS ). My question is, what happens to the luggage overnight? Does it stay with the airline in the airport, or do I collect it at ADL and then re-check in the next morning for...

    General Virgin Australia discussion

    I just assumed they have 3 groups of bags, and they aggregate them per group. 1. Connecting bags (loaded last, come out first) 2. Priority bags 3. All other (maybe in some sort of order or reversed of when they checked in)

    Virgin Australia to lease more 737s

    Saw a 737M flying over yesterday, much more quiet than the 800s and 700s, that's very good for me living close to the airport.

    EY plane stuck on runway at MEL for 14 hours after tyres burst

    But why would they be breaking on take-off? So I mean, the real actual reason for the aborted take-off is still unknown?

    EY plane stuck on runway at MEL for 14 hours after tyres burst

    That's a bit off, so they aborted takeoff because two tires just randomly burst?

    Bike rental in Amsterdam & Copenhagen

    Depending on how often and for how long you are going to Amsterdam, I highly recommend swapfiets. It starts at about 23 euro a month for a really good 7 speed bike with disc breaks. Even if you're there for a week or less, it beats every single tourist bike rental shop which will charge exactly...

    Out of options to churn Velocity cards, any suggestions?

    commbank and hsbc are the hardest to get if you've been applying for others. I would say go for AMEX next, they more care about your income rather than other applications, customers are worth much more to them than other banks.

    To drink or not to drink

    Alcohol leads to poor quality sleep - that is very obvious and self-evident, if you use any sports watch like garmin, this would be obvious after a week or two of using it. That being said, what's the point of paying or redeeming for business class if you're not going to enjoy it? What's one...

    Wouldn't they check your ticket against your VA card?

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    NSDan video landed a week ago about the inconsistencies in QR J product. I really agree with this, and what puzzles me is instead of making efforts to improve the situation, they are actually beginning to fracture their soft product as well with caviar on only some specific certain routes...

    Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 Crashes in Kazakhstan

    There's quite a lot of air traffic where this plane was flying, and it's not even remotely close to any air traffic blackout zones. It would be very interesting if it was in fact shot down, in terms of overall repercussions for traffic across that region. Given airlines are already quite...

    Xinjiang adventures. Deserts, grasslands and glaciers.

    Amazing to see these photos, such a unique part of the world, and one unlikely most will travel to. Thanks a lot.

    Air Serbia...Belgrade to Ljubljana

    I've flown Air Serbia this year, it was a prop jet due to thin route, overall I'd say it's a very nice airline with nice service, no issues at all, no reason to avoid it. One tip I will give you, if you're flying out of Belgrade airport with air serbia, just go to the business/priority counter...
