The LHR lounge food menu in the downstairs section is very pre prepared so not a fair judgement but the G&Ts are always great. I was last through QF SIN a couple of months ago and the coughtails plus food was very good and wouldn't be out of place in a restaurant/best of the QF lounges and in my...

First XLR this year is due to JQ but the IASC allows subsidiaries so I guess technically we can get a JQ up there but make sure you slap on a QF code and make it bookable via the QF website for good measure.

They lose it and VA gets another shot at applying 😜 With a new VA, this time the E190s on order will operate BNE-CNS-GUM-HND and every passenger will get a free green tea kit kat. Ok jokes aside, QF can apply for an exemption/extension to their slot or launch a "new" route/flight, sure they...

This is a known bug and a issue with Qatar at the moment (ongoing since Sep 2024). They've apparently been having fraud/scam issues so after booking the frequent flyer number is locked and can't be changed until in person at check in, the call/chat staff can't do anything with the one exception...

Um isn't that the staffs fault, they clearly couldn't be bothered following the process so don't use the group boarding feature that they an in the system.

For the first time in years I've broken my number one rule which is always book direct and now in the last 3 weeks I've booked a total of 11 flights (all seperate bookings - all yet to come) on a mixture of Commbank Hopper (taking advantage of the 10% cashback/no card fees), Webjet (and the...

Odd I’ve been more recently then that, you do specially need to ask for piper though.

BNE lounge serves Champagne to anyone who asks likewise in Singapore had no issues getting a glass in the J lounge.

My guess is glitch, I just tried a dummy booking and with no frequent flyer number only standard seats. Adding my QF WP I get preferred but still have to pay for MCE.

Exceptions can be carved out for example in London one has existed since the beginning of the partnership: At the EK LHR lounge only QF F and QF CL get access to the EK lounge prior to QF operated flights. Prior to EK flights normal SG/WP and EK F/J rules apply.

Given the email to WP mentioned the EK lounge but the SG didn’t I wonder if it’ll be different tiers like WP gets EK, SG gets Strata and QPub members get a voucher?

I normally swing by a kiosk in Brisbane to get it done. A couple of years ago when I had NZ*G flying business class out of Sydney I didn't use a kiosk and they didn't do it at the lounge so I got absolutely scolded by the gate staff as a attempted to board. I don't get why NZ is so strict as...

At the moment request is only via email. Send to your status email below and request for "full velocity activity history" with your velocity number noting it should come from the email account thats on your velocity account. It takes a few business days and then they send the export as a PDF...

Yes no issues and the change for free. I had booked BNE-MEL-CHC but due to the change on the MEL-CHC flight was able to rebook BNE-MEL-AKL-CHC with no change fees or fare difference. If you're getting an agent who's telling you there are change fees try again later or go via the social media...

This is a change they've made for the winter. From 30 March the flights moves to the morning flight from the afternoon one. At the moment the afternoon flight will resume on 26 October when it switches back and during parts of November/December/January they'll operate both a morning and...

Hasn't been free for a while although occasionally they do promos plus I think the first load on the account is free. Edit - It was in February 2024 when they moved to EML that the fee was introduced.

Anyone wanting to put money on that date? Another thing I just thought of, will those on JQ with QF status have access to the EK lounge, that’d be a first if so. During the COVID bubble when QF used the Air NZ lounges JQ didn’t get access so I’m assuming it’ll be a similar setup.

One interesting thing about the EY partnership is that changes can be made after the end date subject to availability (I’m assuming VA for a year will have access to the award space). Note on the Velocity website for Etihad Then the same lines for Hawaiian which instead have a hard date:

I got my account export from Velocity and it was quite entertaining to see old VA domestic flights from over 10 years ago plus a handful of Delta and Air New Zealand flights. Whilst I have no where near the 12,000 credits needed it's amusing knowing they'll be included on my progress to lifetime...
