Not really sure what can be inappropriate about it, many countries have a national call - eg. "allez le bleu" for French, "ole ole ole" for Spanish, etc. European countries are far from the most patriotic, but even they have these. On the topic of whether to call it out on a plane, I am not...

Unfortunately I'm overseas on the 20th, but would be keen on something like quarterly events!

So did shareholders approve the remuneration package this time?

After reviewing a lot of detail, I have to say it really sucks for VA plats... Currently we can use the EY first class lounge, which is amazing (and controversial opinion, better and more private than the EK one). With Qatar, it seems we will only ever be able to access the QR platinum lounge...

Somehow missed this thread, can someone recap what are the thoughts on EY? I am assuming any tickets booked before April 2025 will be honored for SCs and points. I'm also wondering about F lounge access, since this is really the main reason I like flying EY now, in terms of what kind of...

I think it's convenient if you want all your finances in one finance-super-app, however apart from that I think there's little benefit over other options.

Two questions further; 1. Any predictions on how this will impact EY partnership overall? F lounge access for plat? Maybe it will stop after April, or maybe October? 2. Just to get it right, my period is April -> April. I already have plat secured for next cycle (from April 25 to April 2026) -...

One other thing, Virgin has a codeshare agreement with EY right? I noticed that they are only selling SQ and QR tickets though.... for Europe flights.

Damn, unfortunately I have no use for extra SCs until next May, and can't think of booking anything that far ahead domestically 🤔 I take suggestions for events next year from May! (not in Sydney).

Crown buffet, right? 😏

So is now (ie. before October 2025) a good time to do domestic business status runs, since now for eg. platinum, I need 400 SCs from VA? That's either one full priced J flight to EU (well because nobody seems to discount anymore), or a bunch of domestic business...

So where is it ?

I just noticed that the VAFF website changed - there used to be a way to see in which month how many status credits are expiring - now it's not possible? I don't suppose they will add a feature to check your progress towards this lifetime status... that'd be nice.

Found the thing going on in the US https://thepointsguy.com/protect-your-points/?utm_source=dailyupside&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2024 I suspect that will be us before too long as well.

Didn't something like this happen in USA lately, and a lot of points cards and good promos went away? I'm not entirely sure, if someone knows feel free to chime in. However in general, the value of points per transaction has declined a lot over time. I have only been earning points for the last...

I have done literally that itinerary (SYD -> AMS -> BCN -> SYD) in Feb/Mar of this year with Etihad. There is nothing special or complicated about it - just look out for airlines servicing both airports (there's a fair few), and you will know since they will only have 1 stop each way on the...

They don't have to compensate cough. This year I had a QF to Jakarta cancelled last minute, I was up all night stressing about it and figuring out what to do, and had to eventually book a last-minute Garuda flight (luckily there was one that day). While I did get a refund, I did not get any...

Well what a CEO wants is usually far from what the customer wants. We, the customers, want reliable services. CEOs want to maximise share price (ie. shareholder value). Where the problem comes is, Qantas loses out on some amount of business because of it's reliability issues - and this has...

I think you're investing in the wrong kind of equities. NVDA, TSMC, PLTR have gone up tremendously this year - around 100% average, for locals I got GMG, MCQ, RMD even QAN have all gone up around 30%. At the moment, with real incomes falling and GDP per capita recession, I highly doubt housing...

I agree, especially on the 333s. These aircraft are very old and have frequent problems (and I mean frequent - just look at the flight history for any of those routes). This means it's a real big gamble to fly Qantas on these routes - especially since many people use those SEA ports as...
