I renewed my passport (Malaysian Passport with a Resident Return Visa) early December and had issues with my Visa not being attached to my new Passport number and couldn't use the smart gate. I then filled in the correct form and fixed it with Dept. Home Affairs. About 2 days after I got the...

What a difference in a year. 85,000km and 1% last year and 15,000km this year :(

I do have a Coles but the limit is 15k and I use it for something else. Might try to ask for a higher limit

Did they give that to you on signup or increased over time? My Amex is only at ~20k (increased once since sign up a year ago)

I can't believe I missed this. I only realised today after reading my statement. This is going to hurt me a little. Not only from missing points but overseas fees. Saved $500+ last month alone. My biggest problem is getting another bank to give me the same $50k credit limit I currently have...

Thanks :)

Just went through my Emails, no offer :(. Can you please post the subject line so I can keep a look out for it?

Agreed. But maybe all of us travel too much to know a 5 hour delay isn't a "saga".

Do this once, pax tells everyone about how they got into the lounge. Second time round, their friends are asking. 6 months later, some social media sharing and half the plane is asking for lounge access for a delayed flight. If VA wanted to attempt this, a rule needs to be in place. ie delay...

Funny thing is even with the $3000 fines. I know of an owner of the company paying the $3000 twice and they eventually told him he can't just pay for it. He has to nominate a driver in the future.

Only time I linger is landing from PER at 5am. Shower, have coffee, breakfast, read the news until it is time to leave for the office. I notice a number of J pax do the same as I am often not the only one that walks in after the flight.

I've been in that boat but got stopped nicely as I was about to reach over. I don't understand why we can't help ourselves to the Fish. I thought it was rationing but when I asked for 2, no questions were asked. There is a character in the MEL lounge though, this 20ish brunette with a European...

It has been a long time since I flew QF A380 but the hard product on the VA 777 J makes QF look 20 years older (the crew are also 20 years older in QF mind you ;) ). I think the only thing going for QF in terms of hard product is ERs tend to be noisier compared to A380 Upper. I have never had a...

I've read this is still the case on Emirates.

VA does this in Australia. During peak times, they adjust the barriers so Priority is 2 lanes with normal roped off and only when the line thins out, general boarding starts.

Just taking Seat guru's measurements. Considering how wide SQ 777 and A380 seats are. If the 787 seats are really like QF, it would definitely be noticeable. A relative recently did SIN-MEL-PER-SIN within a week but when I asked, they said it was about the same. But they aren't really FFs or...

I just noticed when doing some seat research for an upcoming flight SQ 787-10s have a seat width of 19 and pitch of 32 (Same as the 773 an A388). Has anyone flown this and compared it to QF's 787-9? Considering they both run a 3-3-3 layout, I am just wondering how SQ manages to get a wider seat...

I've always wondered what would happen if my laptop or phone is out of battery. Less likely on my phone but I often work on my laptop until the battery dies on the plane (I use that as a cue to say I've done enough) and the charger is at my office/home office (at both ends). Will they supply one...

I’m not sure how you can hold an article written by a 3rd party against Velocity. Velocity has no control of what other media outlets choose to write. Maybe you should be asking Chris from AusBT to either put you in contact with his source (if there even is one) or send you the points himself...

I used the platinum email and worked. I don't see how ACA will fix your problem quicker than resolving by constant follow up. I am not sure if you are aware but we are actually asking for a goodwill of points and SC's retrospectively being applied. VA can say tough luck if they wanted to...
