If you've got the select card, then yes. Details here: Citibank Australia

Good outcome then :) i must have gotten the good one.

Yep correct. Assuming on the one PNR. Done this before with multiple reds in tow with no hassles.

Don't believe them. I read that too and called them up and was told don't worry about what the website , they can book whatever you want. The catch was there is a $ limit for each hotel they are willing to pay. So eg in Melbourne I was told the max at the Cullen payable was $219. Advertised...

Row 10 also houses the bassinets as well I think. Plus if it'sof any need, the middle bank seats are the only ones with raising armrests. ANy chance of spending 45k pts on the upgrade? Well worth a try :)

I'd suggest you call them and ask about availability through the Plat call centre before assuming it'd be available.

VX can be booked via VA, but typically only show 6 months out. You can also call them to check. Any VA aircraft coming from Aus to LAX would be the same or similar 777.

Suggest you take a radio with ear buds, and pop a set of ear muffs over them. Agree it could be boring if you sit through the whole day and aren't in to the support acts and races. I just go in for quali and the race nowadays and spend time in Melbourne before hand. Good that it's on at 5pm now...

Do as drron says and check out the UK sites . Often they are fully inclusive of zero excess for damage. Where are you heading?

Yes they allow kids even though the conditions say no kids under 12. However, my experience was as a J pax in Jan. They gave me a purple invitation card ala Aus international departures for the lounge invite. VX staff didn't bat an eyelid at the kids. But I didn't try using ht gold/plat privs.

Suggest you call each day to check row 5. Ask if its assigned or subject to airport control. Then if no luck there check at checkin. Then if the CSa says no, go to the service desk. The staff at the service desk are the only permanent VA staff while the rest are subbies. That's my experience!

As another point, Got a room on sunday with b/fast rate for $157 2 weeks ago. It was booked one week out. Monday jumped to $300. Split the booking, as the 2 night rate was close to $300.

things to consider: Citi select converts to 3.33 pts/$ sq or va overseas.. Citi gets you 2 people entrance into lounges under priority pass.

Confirm that you should do it today, as it credits to the person who was recorded as "pooled to" at the time of activity. If son 2 goes tomorrow, set it up today. I've had a few flights credit after chopping and changing pooling and it all works fine. A few of them credited weeks after and they...

Thanks folks. Will heed the advice.

I'd suggest you start playing around with the VA VFF booking engine to see if that suits what you are after re Europe flights. From memory business class will be 110k each way plus $400 or so taxes... then you can decide if Velocity is any better for what you need. Do same for SQ and Asia miles

Looking at going to Tokyo from SYD through OOL. I'm looking at the cost of full *class from SYD to NRT and it seems a bit senseless having to pay almost $1300 each way from SYD-NRT for QF points and SC's vs $1000 from OOL-NRT. It makes the economy SYD-OOL JQ legs $500-600. I'm considering...

I note that it says use of discount rates such as AAA rate will void the rebate. Markis - do you know if that is the case? I know with ebates, the type of rate used doesn't appear to affect the rebate.
