Can you buy some wine to get enough points? Probably cheaper than from them direct. The cash bids are done after points upgrades, they're pretty uncommon afaik.

Consuming too many beef and onion pies is a short hop to becoming a wide body.

Welcome to AFF. ExpertFlyer is showing F4A0 so there is just 4 seats available. Do you hold status?

It makes sense that VA would prefer the cash first, but I agree that it makes points upgrade more useless. Also explains the success rate I personally find on cash upgrades. I'd imagine most would rather burn some points.

Planning to go to ADL in October some time as Fletty junior's first flight but don't have dates firm yet unfortunately.

Out of interest do you recall what amount the most SC in a year was?

Success for 2pax and an infant on the SIN-LHR sector of QF1 as a separate booking for the 15th Nov 2025. Will make for a great first international flight for master fletty! 😁

Some prefer it just because it's closer to the loo too!

Still better than a toaster!

Ouch, sounds like you got pretty unlucky there. I've arrived in on busy flights and have maybe taken an hour at most from landing to exiting the terminal, usually quicker.

How close to departure did you put in the request?

We've got 44hrs of long haul (in F and J) at the end of the year with what will be a 6 month old. Will need to try at least 1 domestic trip prior to that to work things out... All classic rewards though so shouldn't have an issue adding him to the bookings (soon!).

They occasionally serve lasagna from the Brisbane 'cantina' bar, has been imo one of the better meals.

Seems pretty unfortunate to not get this released 😕 any luck asking for a 380 service via SYD?

On the topic of sweet breakfasts, I had the waffles on a morning BNE to SYD service last week. Was pretty sugary but very tasty. The other option was a chicken sausage English brekky thing which I've had before and didn't enjoy a lot.

I definitely agree that status with VA is very easy relative to QF. I unintentionally reached (and retained) SG with family pooling and a couple of sale J fares to Melbourne. Having said that though what VA offers with status is less too without an alliance.

And this morning when I called - I definitely didn't get Hobart (first time ever)

Yeah definitely a downside to J is less seats to choose from in this case. Although if you want an easy upgrade the last couple of flights are usually good since everyone does want to fly forward 😅

I find flying out of Sydney at peak times they offer fly forward frequently - sometimes a light breeze is all. It happens often enough for me to book a later, cheaper flight and move it forward as required. I've also had 100% success with any status asking nicely in the lounge if I can see they...
