    Your original booking confirmation should list the cancellation terms, which are in their full terms here: https://www.cunard.com/content/dam/cunard/marketing-assets/pdf/booking-condition-pdf/Cunard_Booking_Conditions_June_2025.pdf Based on 14 days to go, and if you booked direct, you should be...

    Google Flights - option to book subject to United States or Australian regulations

    FL360's take is the one I have as well. Just depends which sales option you'd prefer, including which currency you may prefer to use.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Why would the remaining flyers contribute more? That doesn't make sense. They're not going to buy a few more trips - or buy more expensive fares - because there are fewer other high tier fliers (not that Velocity actually publishes those numbers anyway). Plus if they're the low flying fliers...

    LATAM ticket buggered up by QF

    Qantas have done the rebooking so it sits with them to get through to the destination for these connecting flights. Given they changed the 2nd flight, it's not safe to assume that the 3rd flight to Cuz was left as is. That boarding pass may no longer be valid as that sector may also not have...

    Virgin Australia Pick Your Bonus Promo - Double Points or Status Credits - Ends 13 June 2025

    If the base fare was a Virgin operated flight, any bonus applying to that will also go in the same Virgin operated bucket.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Your status review date is Jan, so you don't need to worry about the 238 VA credits by Oct. That's just when the change will apply for calculations from that point on. But they don't review you in Oct unless/until you need to be reviewed (e.g. upgrade/renewal).

    Virgin Australia Pick Your Bonus Promo - Double Points or Status Credits - Ends 13 June 2025

    While we'd all love extra space/less crowding e.g. empty seat rows down the back of the bus, it doesn't mean it's good for business. Of course, that's their problem... but businesses normally would rather not leave money on the table than prioritise customer satisfaction at their cost... and I...

    Booking flights on Points

    If it's a reward fare (i.e. paid with points) you don't get status credits either.

    VA/QR Booking Question

    Agree with the other comments that what you asked about will not be offered. Staff don't know your purpose e.g. you may be meeting (or travelling with) someone to travel to Abu Dhabi, so can't/won't assume that you don't need to make that flight (aside from tickets not being linked as it...

    VA562 misses Sydney curfew but lines up for approach anyway

    Except how can you guarantee that conditions are fine in the curfew period to come in over the bay? The reason for the different runways is to cater for wind direction. You can't; hence curfew can't be removed. And just because they are quieter now than they used to be doesn't mean they are...

    Velocity platinum

    Only regular retail fares qualify for the spend. Upgrade spend isn't included. Wasn't included before, so no change now.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    So choose a higher cutoff point and wear the revenue hit from downgrades and lost sales below that boundary? Wouldn't have thought the lounge cost so much for those low activity marginal elites or ran at a loss that the revenue loss would compensate for, but guess we'll see.

    Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

    I'm sure Trump would be fine if all 'aliens' were excluded, and only USAians won all the medals, making it the "Greatest Olympics ever!"

    They've oversold our cruise! And we got the offer!

    No, permanent (for now).

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I think your definition of 'loyalty' is a bit more extreme than in general. Your definition seems to be that you must stay with someone regardless of how you're treated. Whereas I think people are more pragmatic - loyalty is more about the current offering. If you reset/change the config, then...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    A carry on is the same between them (7kg each), a bag is something many don't need and those that do would account for it in their comparison (e.g. becomes ~$120 in comparison above). I doubt many bother about seat pitch or tea, or would just put them in nice to have, but not worth $50+. I'm...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Except... if all you're competing on is price, then the overwhelming advantage shifts to Jet*. So QF still has that covered. While many customers were actually after value rather than price i.e. perks and bennies from status, if that carrot has been removed then you're just looking at the best...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I look at it the other way. Just because the flight is a good price, most people don't fly every day, so it should have more SC value than just an everyday shopping trip to Coles.
