    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    Has anyone on an upgrade or reward ticket in Business found they've been served last, no matter where they sit, and as a Platinum? Happened to me twice earlier this year. I still got my first choice so it's all good, but I'm curious whether there is a deliberate shift in the service flow.

    Which Business cabin is best?

    Boeing 787-9 is a nicer cabin and more modern aircraft (higher humidity, lower noise). The Business Suite is newer as well.

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    Status credits can be earned with any airline (including SQ on a paid (not reward) fare). The eligible Velocity sector must be a VA-coded flight.

    QF5 SYD-PER leg

    I'm sure the authors on ET/PH/similar websites are seasoned enough travellers to know not to put a readable barcode up. Anyway, the focus blur makes it unreadable.

    QF5 SYD-PER leg

    Just spotted an Economy QF5 Sydney-Perth flight review today. Service looks better than a domestic flight. https://www.pointhacks.com.au/reviews/qantas-boeing-787-economy-class-sydney-perth/

    It'll come back on 19 July. Guess we'll find out if the rate has changed in 2 weeks time!

    Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

    The main issue is that you'll lose points with each transfer. The ratio has never been 1:1 - the latest was 1.55 to 1 in either direction.

    London return for 144,600 plus $471!?

    Looks like they've adjusted the comparison price. The estimated points value takes a hit, but it's still reasonable I suppose. Just under 3cpp from my rough calcs. "(For comparison’s sake, this same flight would have cost $4,791 one-way as part of a return Melbourne-London Qantas Business...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    You need to search via 'Multi City' tool and check 'flexible with dates' on the calendar. Then you'll see the ribbons.

    Fiji Airways Business from SYD | Qantas Lounge access

    Soon I'm looking at flying Sydney-Nadi in Business Class with Qantas Points on Fiji Airways. Books as an FJ code. I also hold Qantas Platinum status. I checked the Fiji Airways Lounge access page which indicates Business Class tickets have access to a Qantas lounge in Sydney. Given the QF Int...

    EK award availability to/from Australia this Nov/Dec onwards

    I was not able to book online, now that you mention it. The booking kept erroring out before the payment stage. But I called and they were able to book it. I also changed the booking twice when I spotted new EK reward seats, and everything was processed fine.

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Argh this is so annoying. I can see 4x QR business reward seats from Perth to Doha, connecting on to Europe in 2022. But QF only shows 1 seat and the phone agent couldn't see any more. Have to settle for Emirates for now, which isn't any cheaper because it's moved to the Partner award chart.

    Experiences with Qantas Complimentary Lounge Invitations

    Thanks for the replies, everyone! Turns out I didn't need to worry. 'LPAC' appeared on the digital boarding pass a few hours later. Maybe it's updated manually? Good to know.

    Experiences with Qantas Complimentary Lounge Invitations

    Hi all, my family are jetting off tomorrow. I linked single-entry Qantas passes to their Economy flight before online check-in opened, and have confirmation emails. However, on their digital boarding passes, I can't see a 'LPAC' code that indicates that lounge access has been attached to the...

    The Qantas call centre now has a different menu

    As a QF WP, it was relatively easy to cancel a reward booking and request 2x J seats from PER-SYD on a flight with no availability. Tickets issued at the discounted 29,050 pts rate rather than the older 41,500 pts rate which was a win. The whole call took 20 min including the hold time at the...
