    Velocity review date mechanism

    It depends on what your card (digital) says in the app. Usually access is to the end of the following month.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    This plating, and even the ingredients (haphazard, after-thought garnish), is absolutely abysmal.

    My Velocity points balance has fallen to zero... and I couldn't be happier

    Couldn't agree more with this thread. I'm down to 838 points (been pooling to my partner in the last 6 months). Together as a result of credit card acquisition and earn rates, we've managed to book (and partially travel) the following for the last month and coming 6 months: - 2Y ADL-MEL on VA...

    Footsies under the seat in front

    I realise this is slightly OT but I witnessed some truly horrific foot behaviour on my recent Air Asia X experience KUL to MEL. One elderly lady to the aisle seat across from me with her foot propped up on the row in front's aisle arm rest. And then her elderly friend in the aisle seat in...

    AirAsiaX seating

    Just as a follow-up, the seat map updated at OLCI opening a few days ago to show the expected 3-3-3-3 layout in Y. We grabbed one of the "honeymoon" seats when it narrows to 2-3-2 towards the rear - thankfully didn't have to pay a seat selection fee again.

    What is up with Etihad's Australian operations?

    Has the new Armani mattress topper found its way onboard yet? Was due to be "later in 2023".

    What is up with Etihad's Australian operations?

    They used to have the 789 out of MEL. Have J booked in the 777 pre-Xmas. Know it won't be as good, but was able to get 2 x reward seats via VA, and obviously better than Y. We get the 388 from AUH to LHR so there is a silver lining!

    Which business seats does Etihad use from SYD/MEL?

    Ooh, I'll check my Dec departure MEL-AUH too! Pleasingly already on the 388 AUH-LHR ☺️ Edit: Still 77W unfortunately and extra 25 mins on the stopover in AUH.

    Which business seats does Etihad use from SYD/MEL?

    https://www.bosshunting.com.au/travel/fly/etihad-business-class-review-777-787-a350/ That article gives a handy overview of current J product across the fleet. Like you, I've only done the 789 and 388 on Etihad, both the 'Business Studio'. (Yes, the new product is coming to new 789s but no...

    QR Business class rewards on Velocity

    Hi Ray, the plethora of posts here about current J rewards availability (particularly Australia to Europe) would suggest that 3 x J rewards will be very, very difficult. I've only ever seen 2 x seats. If you see them, book them. Good luck.

    AirAsiaX seating

    I suspect the seat map on which we can choose seats is not correct. It goes all the way back to Row 67! A bit annoying, having paid for seats at time of booking. Hopefully when check-in opens, the map is correct and Rows 44 and beyond are still available for those few rows of 2-3-2.

    AirAsiaX seating

    Flying MEL-KUL in October on AirAsiaX (D7 219). All the seat maps suggest that the A330 has a 3-3-3 configuration in Y, but the seat map we selected seats on the airline website had 2-4-2. Anyone have any intel on this? Are they flying a new A330 neo version now?
