    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    You should have a look in this thread: Virgin Australia enter Voluntary Administration - Impact on Amex cards? Apparently annual fees are being deferred to November for cards with renewal dates between May and August.

    Angry about proposed travel ban exemption for footballers

    Meh.. some places aren't even seeking exemptions and breaking the rules for funerals, yet no one seems to be kicking up a fuss https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-17/coronavirus-queensland-why-indigenous-funerals-break-crowd-rules/12119446 Unfortunately, perhaps COVID has stolen Qantas' motto...

    Are you Going to use the COVIDsafe App?

    Finally caught up on this thread. Reading this thread makes me wonder how AFF would’ve debated the topic of the Australia Card from the ‘80s.... 🧨 Also makes me realize you really could program a Thread Generator, with the usual posts coming from the extremes of both sides, some general middle...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Can confirm only 0.5 points per dollar on QF Ultimate Amex paying ATO using BC. What a waste of a fee. Won’t be using them again.

    Aeroplane playing cards

    Some more AN ones, and I’ve got quite a few QF ones from late 90s-early 00s.

    Qantas Oneworld Award itinerary change - stuck overseas

    Would travel insurance cover the changes/fees to book your own ticket to get back to Australia? Whatever you do, I’d do it quick-smart. Based on this article, reading between the lines it sounds like they’re about to close the borders Canada-style. May not end up with many commercial airline...

    QANTAS takes A380s out of circulation [and reduces flights]

    If I could suggest, it may take at least another 24 hours for future schedules and aircraft swaps to be finalised in their booking systems. Me thinks it would be too early to start doing searches to try to observe what is or isn't changed/not changed.

    QANTAS takes A380s out of circulation [and reduces flights]

    They've withdrawn sale of First though... when I performed this search on qantas.com 2 hours ago when I saw the announcement, they still had First Flex fares available on this date.

    Damaged Suitcase on Qantas Domestic leg - Worth the $200 Excess for claim?

    sure, I looked more closely at your photos after posting. However, I’d still call them. YMMV

    Damaged Suitcase on Qantas Domestic leg - Worth the $200 Excess for claim?

    I would call Samsonite. They are fantastic at customer service. I have a hard-case samsonite and the wheels kept getting ripped off by airlines, and had done at least 2 repairs (one in syd and one in Toronto). The third time was by SQ or Silkair coming back into CNS. When I spoke with our local...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Unless they already have 90+ SCs and the 410 will trigger the 50 Pt loyalty bonus independent of the DSCs. Though I do understand the point you were making.

    Virgin Australia - Promo Codes (ongoing)

    Discount on Freeom fares (about 5%) and Business class fares. Other Promo codes are often cheaper for Economy fares, but Accelerate doesn’t have the 20 advance purchase rule.

    A pilot's bucket list

    SQ are also flying direct into SEA a couple days a week if that’s helpful as an entry point and could work your itinerary that way.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Don’t you just have to tell the merchant you are paying $100 on one card and the balance on another. That way they will set the first transaction through the terminal to only be $100....? edit: oh sorry, I just read you were processing this online

    Velocity Double Status Credits offer 1/2/19 [Book by Feb 12, Travel by Dec 28, 2019]

    Checked baggage to final destination EK/QF

    This is normal (the two PNRs). Qantas and Emirates have separate booking systems, so QF issues you the ticket in their system with a PNR, and also creates the flight records in Emirates' system, and therefore an Emirates Booking Reference/PNR is created also. (If you happen to go the Emirates...

    Emirates 1st Class seating

    No, actually, my memory is more hazy than I thought. You're right that there are no overhead lockers, but I've never had any problem with my carry-on. There was always plenty of room for my roll-aboard (international size) and a medium size laptop backpack to fit at my feet, including when the...

    Emirates 1st Class seating

    I'm pretty sure there are overhead lockers (my memory's a bit hazy sorry), but they are only over the windows, not in the middle. There should be plenty of room even if the cabin is full, but regardless, the crew will be very happy to take care of your carry on luggage and find somewhere to...
