"It definitely needs to be made a lot harder to qualify" "Needed to be tougher to attain status absolutely" Nah, it didn't. Everyone here naturally pushes their own barrows, well, to push the barrow of the families (who VA claim are a key market): It was good for families who travel on their...

12 SCs, so a ~$144 business fare?

Cool, thanks both!

(continuing the OT line slightly further) What do you recommend in Odaiba?

If that's City of Logan council, perhaps Map - Logan Flood Portal

6 weeks for me, so it seems it's coming down slowly.

The strongly anticorrelated fluctuations in the QF and JQ numbers as compared to the slower-varying QF+JQ curve suggests that most of the month-to-month variation in the QF and JQ numbers is people moving between that pair. With 4ish peaks per year, more JQ seats in school holidays perhaps...

Thoughts on combining private travel with work travel? I've been under a policy that allowed up to 50% of the days to be private days, assuming that pushing the return flight date out didn't increase the cost. It can be quite nice to have family come along on a trip and stay away a little longer.

For flights where there are 4 saver business awards through KF but only 2 available through velocity, any chance that booking 2 with velocity might release another 2?

I think I had something like this happen once, and an online chat person was able to fix it.

Plaza Premium closing too.

What's worse, a foreign government owning an airline here, or a foreign government owning a major telco? (Singapore, Optus.) Or is there just a particular issue with Qatar...?

I just kept trying with some combination of refreshing and going back and trying again, for pretty much every step. This was in an incognito window, in case that makes a difference. Eventually got to the end. May also need to use an email address with no "." in it. It's appallingly bad. Also...

VA lite fare was $55 in the last happy hour sale, but that's pretty rare.

https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/offers/tier-extension-2024.html?cid=EMALL5060#terms-and-conditions Perhaps the free renewals are coming to an end? I've used my benefits a tiny bit but never credited anything to them, now I see to get a soft landing one needs to earn or redeem...

Yes I have flown out of SYD in economy on a QR flight, crediting to VA while showing my digital QR Platinum at the desk at the QF F lounge. They entered something on their computer and let me and a guest in. Also did it for a QR codeshare operated by CX at a Cathay F lounge in HKG. I gather this...

Don't change anything about family pooling, one of the best features of the velocity program.

eek, I was hoping I could have my QR number in right through to check-in then have them change it to VA. Is that because the check-in agent didn't actually do it? My first leg is VA-operated, dunno if that will make a difference. And I wonder then what's the solution? Just have the VA number on...

Is it possible to select seats online on a QR codeshare VA domestic flight? Doesn't work for me on either the QR site (with QR platinum FF number in) or the VA site (for which I found the record locator only after changing my FF number to my VA one, QR PNR didn't work there).

If one were lucky enough to buy two adult seats through this, would it be possible to add child tickets afterwards?
