    Etihad Guest status match for Australian residents [improved offer as of 22/11/24]

    Also curious, but I am guessing they will run the promotion at some point in the future anyway, I still have 1 year and 4 months of platinum.

    Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 Crashes in Kazakhstan

    Looks like an embraer? I wonder what could possibly have caused that, it looks like it was going very slow and not really being controlled, maybe a problem with hydraulics? Maybe it would have been better to ditch in the water?

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    This is an actual sale from EY, with the same routes much cheaper than in this "sale". https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/884798 Any advice on specific steps to take?

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Don't really agree with that outside of qsuites - and only a minority of their aircraft have qsuites, meanwhile other airlines are catching up anyway. Not paying an extra $1-2k for a flimsy door but that's just me.

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Just some examples I found just now for J ex SYD return with qsuites (so the new flights) MAD 15/16 - 23 April QR website - $11,572 VA website $13,595 SQ for comparison - $10,256 EY for comparison - $10,328 AMS 15/16 - 23 April QR website - $9,951 VA website - $13,037 SQ for comparison -...

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    I see thanks, and that's extra bad, so basically we're limited to one-way flights originating from AU only...

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    How come I can search something like SYD - MAD but not MAD - SYD ? Even changing it in the url doesn't work, but you can book return flights. Very weird. The cost of all these is pretty astoundingly bad as well.

    Etihad Guest status match for Australian residents [improved offer as of 22/11/24]

    Really the F lounge is the main one... if you live in UAE then chauffeur service is also good.

    ASIC sues Rex for allegedly misleading the market on company's profitability

    Maybe the only thing this will ensure is that government acquires REX for free.

    Updated EU safety list

    It literally is a safety list - to put anything there for political reasons is the very definition of invalid.

    Etihad Guest status match for Australian residents [improved offer as of 22/11/24]

    It says platinum to gold though when I try and do it, did it say plat to plat for you guys? And now they have the fee again.... oh man I can't believe I missed this deal of a lifetime, I might try and email them.

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Probably another point to consider, if you're living in Europe, it will be impossible to get the correct amount of SCs flying QR from Europe to Asia (ex Australia), since those flights won't be codeshared, right?

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Oh yeh another question - so would it be a fair assumption that plats will continue to have access to Etihad F lounge until 1st of June, regardless of travel class? Can anyone also remind me if that access comes with +1 (on same flight)?

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Can they at least put some meat in the meals at the lounges.... my god. 1733310726 VA has shipped a lot of features and UX Improvements to their website and app (IMO It's much better now regarding clear benefits, what's there, what's left, etc), and improvements to booking reward flights. I...

    Yeh plat plus is fair enough, didn't think of that.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Maybe I am not following, but what changes did they make which would incentivise those people to travel more with VA? If someone is flying SYD - MEL once a week and previously they were only doing the first 6 or 8 trips with VA, what incentive is there now for them to do all their trips to VA? I...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Thanks for the interview, it was very insightful. I guess those here who suggested VA doesn't want people who mostly fly international were right, but I am still perplexed by these changes. If that's the case, why drop the requirements with flight segments? Why not increase them instead? If we...

    YouTubers. Youtubers everywhere [Travel Bloggers]

    I really like Dan's videos, and I find him having a very refined perspective, but it's just an annoying shame he doesn't drink alcohol and eats vegetarian, because food & bevies is one of the most important things to me, and I feel like I get nothing out of his reviews in that regard.
