The vouchers/prize need to be booked by 30 Jun, for sailing by March next year. The prize winner said they were just seeking an extension, or a different option. However, Virgin offered no alternatives, despite them making the change for commercial reasons. And yes it is commercial - they...

Seems to be a ~4 year period in this case: Frequent Flyer members of airlines which are not partners of Velocity Frequent Flyer (Velocity), that currently hold the equivalent of Velocity Gold Status and above with those non-partner airlines (and that have not held Silver, Gold or Platinum Status...

All of those are countries with single state carriers owned by the government. Why would their governments put any regulatory controls that could limit their carrier's operations, thus damaging their own business interests? This is different from Australia where Qantas is a publicly listed...

Seems to say more about much of the clientele on many RCL ships rather than the ship itself, though the facilities add to the experience.

Not sure if it's been improved since, but Cairns airport did an exclusive deal with Uber, only permitting them to enter the airport area. Didi (and Ola) could not operate there. Uber's only a fan of 'disruption' if it's the one benefiting from it, not if anyone else is. Checked Cairns airport...

And? Not sure what the point of that is. Just because something is biggest doesn't mean everyone else should just shut up shop. In fact, it's only due to competition that you get a better deal, as that's the main form of pressure when you have one business dominating. Based on your claim...

Not mentioned here, but Ola terminated service in Australia fully last week. For those who don't have an AFR sub, here's the public Velocity ad for the Didi launch: Also on their partner page: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/everyday-essentials/didi 1 point/ dollar for...

That was weird.

That would most likely incur extra cost. And I can't see that they'll value the benefits as worth the cost... evidently since they haven't even been able to justify the (relative) marginal cost of international lounges for business class international flights yet.

I've seen it too.. but it's a given the ship is anchored, and has been supported by gangway staff. Whereas this is a ship in motion, and no expectation for the staff to give extra assistance.

Agreed the one upstairs in T2 is preferable to the Dungeon. But I didn't know what it was like til after I went in... and CI stamp your pass when you go in - and then won't let you in any of their other lounges on that BP since it's already marked. Again, another oddity compared to other...

Enjoyed the flights with them. For me the downside was the extended layovers in Taipei and the lounges there aren't great - you're down in a dungeon for one, and the food range is limited and no real change all day. That said, if you get a good price, the bulk of the comfort improvement is about...

As with most airlines, you can only upgrade flights with the airline selling and operating the flight. i.e. if you buy the Qatar ticket, you cannot upgrade the Virgin flight. If you buy the Virgin ticket, you normally can bid, or use points, but haven't tried with a combination ticket with...

It's showing both sets of points for me. Have you already made a booking under this promo - it may be that it only applies once.

So if the point was actually that they have 'points plus pay' redemptions that cost 1m+ for international business class flights (despite the misleading title), this was something that's been around with Qantas for much longer. And yes, it's not good value - but that's long known and...

There are pros and cons each way, although I doubt Azamara are deliberately trying to pull a swifty. In answer to your question, going direct with Azamara will give you more flexibility if you want to change cabins in future, or make any other changes, or cancel. Going through a TA adds...

Of course there is. If you download a tiktok app then you sign up to a Chinese owned app. That's completely different from having additional spyware installed, that is not removed when you uninstall. 1710084123 Comparing a widespread deployment to a targeted one is completely different - as...

For the second question, as they are separate tickets, JAL is not obliged to amend the second flight if you miss it due to delays on the first. Your travel insurance /may/ cover you, depending on what coverage you have for schedule delays. (i.e. some do, some don't, so you need to check your...

I said iphone. Apple rigorously controls all software put on the app store to ensure there is no other spyware installed with it. What a state actor wants has nothing to do with it. But sure, if you want to believe everything is a conspiracy, or that Apple have no idea how to control what goes...

When you delete it, on iphone, all vestiges are gone. Aside from device details which won't do much good unless you come back to China again, in which case you'd need to install again anyway. As long as it's not a work device... But if you're handing over passport and credit card details, they...
