Hi I have a ticket from SQ which is on a group booking, and another which is a reward flight ticket (through VA). In both cases, it's not possible to upgrade in any way from the manage booking feature on SQ's website because of the type of ticket it is. Both are economy. My question is, would...

RBA always asleep at the wheel, needs to commission a review just to state the obvious.

I think email support and let them know, they are probably changing their search to only include QR and it's having side-effects.

Not my experience - overcrowded, the same garbage food as in every generic lounge (I mean so literally, it's the same catering company that caters this garbage for star lounge as well as plaza and probably others), even if you can get the food - so crowded its gone half the time! Didn't like...

On Sunday, I made it out of BNE on the very last flight, after being stuck on the tarmack for an hour. Very very very lucky, every flight was cancelled in and out after about 8pm. I met a poor gentlement on the train who was down in Sydney for a game for the day, he said the the airlines don't...

Ultimately they will change their mind if and only if they think it will cause many FFers to leave them. Unfortunately, I don't see any way for them to know until it's too late.

The beer in BNE is great - balter, probably the one of the best mass produced beers. In SYD they used to have asahi, but not anymore, very sad. Anyway, I have been mulling and mulling, and I am increasingly thinking either to give EY a serious go, or KF/TR combination (Star). I guess points...

Not sure about other cities, but the AMEX lounge in city is the biggest sh*thole I've ever been to. It makes the Qantas international J lounge actually look good by comparison - and that's really saying something.

I will address this point generally - having more QR flights is good, but it doesn't need to come at the cost of VAFF exclusivity on the way to EMEA! These things are NOT mutually exclusive! SQ flies to Australia far far more than QR was even proposing earlier. Did they insist on being the only...

I submitted my comments to ACCC about this, it's still open until the 7th - would urge others to do the same, as it clearly stifles competition for all VA customers heading to EMEA.

Why wouldn't you though? Not like there's a lot of good benefits to choose from, it's purposely designed that way. Anyway, I have been tossing up between going all in on EY (may be a bit too limited), or I think a better option is pivoting to SQ KF directly - much more redemption opportunities...

They can be, but XE is for much higher volume, for that amount of money you should just use wise.

If your amounts are too high for wise/revolut, you can approach a large broker like xe.com. As far as I know, wise can do very high volumes though, are you talking about billions here or what?

No, the benefits apply as stated in the app - they have different insurance partners in different regions though, so the experience may vary by region. That's why it's best to read the inclusions as they apply to you.

The claims experience is quite good for revolut, the main thing to check are level of coverage - the inclusions of both of these, and things like excess, etc. I would just compare based on the coverage, and see which is better for you.

With regards to a reward business ticket (paid with points + cash); Question is - what determines whether the cost will be deducted in points or dollars? Can I make that choice somehow?

VA plat customer flying economy SQ, checking in SYD, which check-in line should I use?

Just thinking, is it possible to comment on VA's submission for QR to become their exclusive partner heading to Europe? Is it being reviewed by ACCC or anything?

Agree on this! Qantas makes it so cringe to fly on their services because of this nonsense - if anything is truly inappropriate, it is that.
