Just in time to rebook an upcoming stay via QF Hotels instead of direct to score the bonus points for the same price, plus use a $50 voucher!

Pretty much! It's one night in a standard room at most properties, including Sofitel. There might be some exclusions but book far enough ahead and i've usually been able to make good use of stay plus nights.

The Accor website is pretty challenging when it comes to kids... they will show most standard rooms as available for 2 adults only when the room can easily allow a child and in many cases the hotel can provide a cot / rollaway (speaking from experience). You will probably be fine if you book...

The native seat selection within the App doesn't appear to allow selecting Economy X seats, presumaby as it doesn't have a native capability to allow purchases for those member who aren't Platinum. You need to use the web booking engine instead, which you can do within the app by selecting...

That would be great as Cairns has a nice and bright little VA lounge.

That’s really disappointing the hear! Brand new seats that are cramped and not that comfortable is not great :( I’ve only been on a flight with the new seats once but in business and they were quite comfy at least.

The ongoing downside of VA’s scattered airline partners with inconsistent benefits :(

You should be fine if the system are working, but lots of historical reports of airline reps not recognising velocity cards as Virgin Australia and subsequently denying access to lounges, unfortunately. The Air Canada lounges page doesn't list Virgin as allowed access, so that can't be used as a...

Yes, 331 days is/was the limit for Sabre, unfortunately. Would have thought by 2024 they would be extended it to match the others.

Yeah very likely they need the 787's elsewhere given the heavy maintenance delays for the A380's coming back into service and therefore having timetabling challenges. The lack of PE to QF A330 destinations is a real downside, as QF economy legroom sucks in general on all their planes. ANA and...

I wouldn't really mind then asking, as long as they are polite and you are under no obligation. Would certainly provide the opportunity for immediate feedback in cases where the experience is not good!

Depends on the lounge and the type of travel. Solo work travel they are a great place to get some work done while getting some included food and drinks. For travelling with Family they are a great way to have some evening drinks with my wife and keep the kids contained with some food and thus...

Lucky! I've had none!

Yeah it’s really disappointing as it seems multiple velocity partners all open up earlier that 330 days…

Been looking for ANA rewards flight recently towards the end of the year and start of next year (330 days) and so far slim to none show as available direct from Aus. I believe ANA open up their reward inventory 355 days in advance but VA only show ANA seats 330 days...

You can explain the situation to Qantas and see if they are willing to make the changes due to the schedule change, but it’s unlikely they will as it’s a Amex booking and they usually claim they are unable to touch.

Pretty sure you won’t be able to link the booking as they are seperate tickets, especially if not both booked via VA. You need to book a connecting flight on a single itinerary to be afforded the protection against delays etc. You might be able to interline the bags given VA and UA are...

Seems absurd to change a one night fee to an early departure fee… if you go for one night you should be little time as you need up to the limit of the stay. At the end of the day, you booked for the night and paid so what time you leave should be irrelevant. Agree app based checkout for Hilton...

Melbourne is definitely inconsistent in terms of food quality but its coffee has been consistently good at least! Virgin doesn’t really mention the word “business” as associated with the lounges and have never had the concept of of Buiswss lounge as compared to Qantas. On their website they...

Doubt you’ll get anything for a Singapore flight number on ANA operated flight as the VA page says SQ flight operated by SQ and ditto for ANA.
