    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Is anyone able to check if any hotels in Hobart offer the Stay Plus benefit on Friday 25 Apr 2021, including any potential cash upgrades to a room for four people, please? I'd like to see if it's worth getting a membership to cover that night (and get other perks).

    VA Economy Service changes - "Staff will be able to assist"

    Noticed that VA's Perth to Sydney and Perth to Melbourne Freedom fares have dropped to mid-$400s on most days - that's pretty reasonable, particularly when a 9,900 pt points upgrade or a Platinum Complimentary upgrade is done. Used to be high-$600s.

    Value of Virgin Frequent Flyer Points since Change in Ownership

    Hi mica99, you must be mistaken as Velocity hasn't yet increased the number of points needed for reward seat bookings. You were probably looking at Any Seat awards which is the cash value of flights converted into points. These may be higher than usual due to limited seats and higher travel demand.

    Qantas Dream Planner now live

    Strange, I got this at 8:08am... I wonder if it means the timing of Dream Planner isn't as 'real-time' as we thought :rolleyes:

    Qantas Dream Planner now live

    It's not quite ExpertFlyer, but Qantas has quietly unveiled its Dream Planner tool today. It looks promising but is more form over function right now. You can set a destination and be notified if reward seats become available. Not sure at this stage whether it's QF metal only or if partners...

    Qantas points expiring - best way to extend the expiry date

    You could also consider spending points to extend your balance. Donate 2,900 points to make a $25 contribution to a charity, and that should do the trick for another 18 months.

    How do I apply for upgrade of my Significant Other - who has 0.00 QFF points?

    Just proceed to upgrade yourself as normal. Assuming your significant other's FF number is linked to the booking against her name now and you're both on the same PNR, she will also appear on the upgrade page and you'll have to apply to upgrade the both of you at once. (Can't upgrade one and and...

    It was about a week before the flight. I didn't get any notification, just realised my chosen seats upstairs were no longer available.

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    I live in LST currently - the QF Link Dash-8 services never had a priority lane. Normally it's a civilized free-for-all through one door. I wouldn't expect that to change this week. VA has priority boarding through Gate 4 with general boarding through Gate 3 (basically two doors...

    Qantas MEL First Class Check-in

    Won't work, as domestic passengers on QF9/QF10 won't be able to generate a boarding pass through online check-in. They have to visit a counter.

    Delta SkyMiles Status Match Discussion

    Ahh interesting. Let's say the itinerary is PER-MEL-HKG in Y, but with Delta Medallion Gold. I know benefits aren't guaranteed on partner airlines with the trial status match, but assuming they are honoured, does that still mean no access in the PER VA Lounge before the domestic sector?

    VA [Inflight] Wi-Fi

    Does anyone know if any Airbus A330s have WiFi yet, and how many 737s are left to go? I can't seem to find any info on it.
