Out of interest I went through a dummy booking MEL to LAX in J. My first booking allowed me to select pretty much any seat in rows 1-4. When I went back in, logged in with my Velocity number (platinum), row 5 showed as available to book :-) This is great as row 5, is pretty much a cabin on its...

IIRC I was there last year, and the temp lounge on the left as you head down was accepting of either Diners Club or Amex customers, cant recall which now. But I only discovered this as I was about to board. Had a peak in, and didnt seem too exciting. Not a whole lot of other options after coming...

Actually, I have this combo in my drawer, but have not used it. This maybe a good option, but I thougt the conversion to VA points was 1 diner point to .5 velocity points? Must check the t&c s again. My unlimited points earn to VA will now leave westpac and head to my Amex Velocity Plat card...

Priority one is to get into Bus class as cheap as possible using any of the above options, and yes, wash my mouth out, earning points s/c is second tier :-)

Good question. Hopefully someone knows, you could assume that it shouldn't matter as upgrading anyway so new rules would apply to the fare booking into. Also Deewhy, I think to ensure the booking happens as I would like it to, it might be worthwhile doing it through the call centre, just in case :)

Last October I did similar. I did however have a couple of days in LA before hand, then took the red eye in First class direct LAX to MCO. Would I do it again... not if my intention is to sleep, the seats are not much chop. Even any connecting flights to LAS via DL have poor connection...

Thanks bullerdude. That makes sense and thanks for the intel on upgrading since sabre install, I was not aware that this could be done at the time of booking. Also adds another nail to the coffin for my Amex Velocity Card!

I have made similar errors. Two I picked up within hours, wrong routing, they were changed for no charge other than any fare difference. One I did not pick up for some days, I was still not charged anything other than the fare difference. I was told I was not charged this time as a gesture of...

OK my educated comrades. Here is the state of play. I would like to take Mrs W to the US for a one week trip. The destination would be LAS, but for the purpose of this I am happy to try and keep it simple and get as far as LAX. Travel 14 Sept ex MEL, return 20 Sept I hold platinum status with...

The t&c's indicate it is to be booked using "c" class. Is anyone able to confirm that C is actually a Flexi Business fare. In which case, the discussion so far is that it is probably cheaper or the same price to buy 2 x Saver Business, unless the points earn or status earn is better?

My letter as a amex,visa plat plus customer is IHAA.

FYI, booking made in October for travel at end of March had no seat allocation as yet. And no way of doing this online. I am plat, made a call, which was answered within one minute. Requested to do a seat allocation (family coming on this trip), and no problem. Now is reflected online under My...

Probably give my Virgin Money Plat visa a heavier work out at 1.25 velocity point : $1 spend

Will ad me too the list

OK, so letter arrived in the mail telling me my Amex/Vis plat plus will be capped. No other info about black card etc. I made a call, and afte a while on hold I was advised to wait until March 25, and while she could not cinfirm anything I should get something in the mail, and if I dont, to call...

Well, I could not see the outline you mention, yet, interestingly, I turned on the NFC function on my phone, and sure enough, there is something inside...now to spend the rest of the day working out what the NFC function actually does on my phone :-)

And to add, I have had far more ackowledgement when flying VA than I ever did with QF.

I booked an A30 & A37 recently, thanks to those that contribute, and I feel bad that I have not added anything yet...you guys are pretty quick off the mark :-)

I am plat, and the recognition I get normally is as follows: * When boarding, always greeted with " welcome back Mr Wallace" both at the gate and when boarding * On only a small percentage of my many flights I have been offered a newspaperbefore others and the conversation has included the...

My plat card issued in July has no chip...fyi.
