You can book SQ flights through VA by calling aswell, some flights are better booking through VA, others are better with converting the points to SQ then booking. Yes, all status still stands. lounge at sin is the Kris Gold lounge (no showers, but its fine) Also remember that the points you...

The best value is business class redemption. 260 is enough for one person return to LA (98k in points each way) You might have enough to get to asia 2x business return. so check out the site for the required points. https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Redeem/Airlines/PointsTables/...

If you do swap to Virgin, you will probably get back to gold quiet easy (especially with family status pooling) so would not be to long without lounge access and all those things. upgrades are locked in (and normally have to be done early) not the 'lotto' system qantas has, so pros and cons...

While I do agree with this I think there is a difference between kids and teenagers, He hasnt mentioned ages except mid teens. if this is 15-16 then I don't see an issue, they are more than capable to fend for themselves. If they are like 6 or 8 or whatever then its a bit of a bigger issue...

If it comes with an increase in the credit limit it most likely will have a credit check, if it doesn't I would say probably not, but I have never done it with these cards (have done for CBA and it didn't have a credit check). Maybe call and ask?

It is america, you could try the 'vegas' trick unsure on how successful it would be there ...give the check-in person a nice tip and see if they can shake any upgrades from there system

That would waste about 8 hours of travel, 3 hours each way and 2 hours connection (I am assuming he didn't then come to aus) his time is probably considered more valuable. Also its always good to check out the competition and see what you are competing against

With 600k points I would be just booking business awards outright, then status doesn't really matter. you get all the same benefits As you said you will be down lower on the bid for upgrades, so better off booking outright. Sounds like you don't fly near enough to bother chasing status and...

No it still family pools, all partner airlines will if its setup

I must admit that's pretty funny marketing

You have to call and ask for them to marry the sectors, this however is not always possible, but you have a better chance calling up and asking for it to get done, mixed class you have to call and book, make sure they give you the 15% discount as this is not able to be done online

A good place to shop as well!

Once you show as gold online, go on and remove your FF number from the booking and re-add it, this should make the system update. otherwise you can get them to do this and confirm at check in

Thats why I always make sure I withdraw $20 from an ATM a few weeks before I leave aus, so I have time to fix up any issues. (often my account goes inactive if I haven't touched it for 6 months)

Can someone check QF64 for me (JNB-SYD) for the 28th/29th and 30th if its not to much trouble?

Because I cant just swipe open a msg/notification, if i do that i get the passcode screen, If i do the thumb thing first it doesn't open into the msg or app On the passcode screen there is an emergency button at the bottom, if you setup your health app, this can display emergency contact, blood...

I have the 6s, it still annoys me... go into your settings > touch ID & Passcode > and turn on iphone unlock

You just jail break the phone and run the new OS from my understanding, never had to try myself. I don't dissagree with you, its just I find it annoying, if using the finerprint, you have no option but to lock immediately, but using passcode u can do upto 4 hours. Phone is on the desk, you get...
