    MEL-SYD on Virgin, SYD-LAX on Delta

    At SYD you need to travel by free bus or paid train from T2 domestic to T1 international. The terminals are ~4km apart. At T1 you need to process security and AU emmigration. https://www.sydneyairport.com.au/info-sheet/get-to-your-next-flight

    Qantas selling a ticket but can't tell baggage allowance

    My understanding is Qantas club extra allowance only for QF flights. QF club means nothing to LATAM & KLM or most other airlines. Would expect your luggage entitlement will be as the ticket. Status can get benifits, but need to read the fine print. OK with Oneworld (some fine print...

    1 year into churning, finally saying hi

    garbanzobeans Welcome to AFF VA has very limited international partners. For some moving VA points to SQ Krisflyer works. QR Qatar and the VA(QR) flights may offer more hope. QF in Oneworld alliance and with EK and AF/KLM as ff partners has theoretically more options for long haul awards...

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    Even more stupid at BNE where you get photo, with the throwaway image on paper, in 1 machine, then walk 3 steps straight ahead to the next machine. Digital arrival seems irrelevant.

    Velocity Points Programme & flights to USA

    BNE has an over supply of seats/flights from USA. Too many airlines. Many people in USA think Australia=Sydney (and do not know of the other international airports)

    As a Victorian tax paper would rather my tax $$ were spent on other more important things. Like a city to airport rail link. MEL airport news release (dated 02 Feb, but its 01 Feb here in Melbourne) --> Melbourne Airport lands a US giant, with Delta to launch flights to LAX

    Trying to avoid 800K point spend on single return flight for 4ppl in X

    Getting 4 business classic awards (lowish ff point cost) on 1 flight is very hard. You are probably being offered"classic plus" (far more QF ff points) If picking only QF routes (LHR CDG FCO) your options will be limited for classic awards (~hopeless?). Look at EK routes, but very high carrier...

    By Y+ do you mean Premium economy (a separate class)? Y+ tends to mean economy class with extra leg room. Not PE. https://www.aerolopa.com/qf-388
