Yes I think that's because the "Citi Global Transfers" service (effectively the intra-company money transfer service) has ceased in Australia, causing all transfers to now route via the standard telegraphic transfer service - so Citi US would treat it in the same way as any other incoming wire...

Assuming there's no one around to guest her, Dragonpass offers two options - the Al Maha Transit Lounge (which is a conventional lounge) and the sleep 'n fly Sleep Lounge (which offers small cabins/pods to rest in). Al Maha can get very popular during the interchange period with long queues...

Don't have an email address but their Australian contact number does run on different hours to the UK one, so may be more specialised in handling queries from Australia/Asia-Pacific?

Flying with two friends on JQ7/JQ8 in mid Oct and can only guest one in, so would love to have two general passes if possible. Thank you!

Bummer! Was going to try it this week!

Would any of the experts here know if complimentary lounge invitations can be used after the expiry date if they're linked before the expiry date? The T&Cs say: But I'm not sure if the invitation is considered "used" when it is linked to a booking or when you actually set foot in the lounge...

Just keep in mind the cabin bag dimensions can't exceed 56x45x25cm (though this is loosely enforced). The seat selection benefit is quite generous - as Oneworld Emerald, even exit rows can be selected free of charge from time of booking.

Got a notification yesterday that my Darwin - Singapore flight (SQ252) in December has changed from 737-800NG to 737 Max 8. To be expected as the 737-800s are progressively being returned to lessors over the next 1.5 years, and Darwin is one of the longest routes still to be served using that...

That's what I'm hoping to find out too - are these gift cards single use, do they get redeemed into a wallet, can they be pooled with additional gift cards, etc Reading their t&cs, it looks like they charge credit card fees when purchasing gift cards through their own website, so it would've at...

Thanks for taking one for the team :) Please let us know how it goes!

I noticed today that you can now get "Bill Fairies" gift cards on Prezzee: Bill Fairies eGift Card Looks like the gift card can be used to pay most BPay billers (financial institutions and some other exclusions apply), which seems like a good way to get around credit card fees/transactions...

Thanks, but if that's the case, wasn't it a little disingenuous of QF to offer "flexible flying" on those lower Y buckets? It surely would've given the average consumer the impression that their ticket has been "cashed out" as a voucher when the reality is quite a bit further from that. I...

Stumbled across this thread on ozb and found it interesting - it looks like passenger initiated flight credits are subject to a change fee when redeeming for new flights. The wording on the QF site (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/manage-booking/credit-vouchers.html?tabId=requested-by-you) seems to...

Gotcha, thanks - though the two methods I talked about still stand. In method one (the modify your ticket method), they would've had to cancel your U class upgrade (where you would've forfeited the points anyway), then moved you from X class on your original flight to a X class on your new...

Not sure how they did it but they did! Maybe because we entered when it was super quiet so she remembered us, and when the lounge reached capacity a couple of hours later she knew we were bootable... and there was no winning that one - either accept the walk of shame and judging eyes, or spend...

Lucky you! That Al Reem lounge was just so depressing with no windows and no lighting that came remotely close to resembling daylight. They fixed that one time for us by booting us out at exactly the 3 hour mark though...

Either 60 or 120 SCs for the two flights depending on class, so a good start but not terribly helpful if he doesn't fly too much usually. Table here: Etihad Airways I think bestowed golds still get a soft landing to silver don't they? I've tried plenty of times over the years but never had...

Flew EY recently on an EY issued ticket + EY codes as VA plat and yep, all the benefits pre-COVID are still conferred: no extra seat selection privileges (for one of the four legs I was auto-assigned an Economy Space seat at T-48, but the load factor was close to 100% so it may have just been...

Main advantage for me is the seat selection that you sometimes can't do until you go through the check in process. Also, the couple of times I was operationally upgraded on CX all happened to be where I checked in as soon as OLCI was open (one of those was even a double upgrade - I was stoked!)

I think this is the sequence of what happened: - You purchased a cash ticket in economy - You upgraded your ticket to business using QFF points - You get to the airport, check in and head to the J lounge - At the J lounge you asked to be moved to an earlier flight At this point, I believe the...
