    Tokyo Haneda slot - How will Virgin Operate it? [CNS-HND flights ceased Feb '25]

    What a world we live in. Someone who masticates loudly into a mic and rants often without substance can pull in half a mil.

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    If they’re viable routes, they’ll be picked up by one of our real airlines. I suspect much of their “success” was selling a product well below cost.

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Given she’s from Wodonga, and a lot of Bonza flights are to/from Albury, I’d say there’s a bit of local pressure to keep them going.

    Correct. Just wasn’t sure about customs arrangements in the UK (bit like routing SIN-MEL-SYD requires bag collection).

    There may be no award seats in J at the moment, but if you misconnect they’ll put you in any J seat. Always the chance it is physically full, but you’d hope there’s a seat or two left. On a similar note, I’m connecting from Europe to Manchester via LHR. Haven’t actually done a domestic...

    Yep it’s all good on every other site (and MH was the only one where I could select seats for AY/AT sectors). Just odd it’s not coming up on RJ.

    I keep getting an error message even trying to retrieve the booking with RJ.

    Yep, I’m the same. All my earning is going to Velocity for the easy earns (big signups etc) and Kris where possible. As good as these Oneworld tickets are, I’d rather just spend 300ish Velocity points getting to Istanbul or North Africa and buying my own tickets into Europe (and booking online).

    I would. But as @adenda alluded to, it may not result in much. I find just refusing to hang up might motivate them a little. Frustratingly, the manager I eventually spoke to last night who did acknowledge how hopeless her and her team had been admitted there was an after hours “emergency”...

    It’s when they’ll cancel the sectors. Anyone who works in airline res with half a brain (so not all of Qantas contractors) will realise how critical it is

    Ask them what the ticketing time limit is. They should be able to obtain a specific time (for Cathay yesterday - well this morning - it was only a few hours). That pressed the issue a but. 1713424259 That will often happen as when they reissue I believe they just charge the whole amount over...

    Thanks. All say “confirmed” there so that’s a good sign. Funnily enough, I was able to allocate seats on the MH website 🤷🏾‍♀️ Can’t even get it to load on the RJ site. Check my trip has a ticket number next to each sector so I’m fairly confident it’s ok. Just can’t figure out how they’ve...

    Damn what a marathon! On the phone from 9pm to 5am just to change the last few sectors! Three hours with the Philippines who fired off stories like “you can’t have mixed class” and “Royal Air Maroc isn’t in one world” (despite those sectors already being ticketed 🙄) before being disconnected...

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    I think it depends on where you live. My daily charge is highish with them ($1.05 vs $0.76 with others) but I thought the 8c overnight charging would offset it. Problem is the “peak demand surcharge” which is adding 25% to the monthly bill. AGL doesn’t seem to charge that.

    Up to 35,000 Velocity points for switching to AGL Energy

    Bit of a hit losing the 8c EV charging from OVO but the $200 offsets it. Might give this a go then swap to the AGL EV plan after 45 days.

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Yep. Didn’t make a lot of sense. Was a little surprised the remark even came out to be honest. Not even an attempt to come up with a decent story! Original seats were occupied (it was a full flights)

    ☹️ seat changed at checkin

    Had a similar incident recently. First time I’d flown QF economy for ages and I remembered why! Fortunately only a SYD-AKL. Both pax on the same ticket. Had checked in online and allocated A & B seats. Had an error message at the kiosk and flagged down a staff member who took over and said “oh...

    Credit Card Offers ANZ Frequent Flyer Black: 130,000 Qantas Points + $200 back

    Annoying. I wanted to cancel it. Bit strange it didn’t work. Well over the 12 month exclusion period.

    Credit Card Offers ANZ Frequent Flyer Black: 130,000 Qantas Points + $200 back

    Hmm. Didn’t get the signup bonus in the first statement after meeting the required spend (or the annual fee cashback). ANZ generally does it the first month after meeting the spend, don’t they?

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Fingers crossed. The whole system is a mess though. I am randomly still getting responses from the escalations team regarding the J seat the Filipinos were unable to find. This has ranged from “business class is full” (11 months in advance….), some seats are only available for the Japanese...
