Ah so it was a G-up by Markis! Anyway, I have flights on the 21st and 22nd of this month using OOL. Fingers crossed, though I'm not giving it any more than a 50:50 in my head. As has been repeatedly stated, DJ wouldn't know the date of completion of work because their own contractors...

I sympathise with your opinion on the seat pitch on Y on EY, Yank_in_Aus. It's pretty damn cramped. Always check in early and ask for an exit row, or try to do an online check in and advanced seat selection if you can... I don't know if you can or not. Is it possible to sort this out with the...

Not an op up but I was able to select my seat for travel BNK -> SYD for a flight in two week's time and I was able to select the front row (for both myself and the other pax on my itinerary who has no status, a nice bonus). The seating config for the first two rows was represented as being three...

Nope. I can correct myself here: I got lost and got the wrong impression from trying to do up hypothetical bookings on the velocity website. If one follows this link https://www.velocityrewards.com.au/content/Redeem/Airlines/index.htm and heads down to the 'points calculator' one will see...

I'm sure you might have meant something else or accidentally said the wrong thing, but are you seriously saying the Lounge will be open before this Saturday? (!!!!!)

I know this is a different discussion for a different thread (and perhaps you'll direct me too it) but I've never been interested in the whole DJ vs QF discussions/shoe-polish fights that sometimes go on here because for me, like others who live well away from metro areas or the regional centres...

Bingo greenfish, that seems common sense to me.

Yeah they probably just get it open as early as they possibly can, refraining from doing any announcements that might end up being either at too short notice (not that it could hurt them very much I suppose), or they get let down by some contractor related mishap or other misadventure. Remember...

heaven help us, when will this lounge open? I have flights booked out of OOL in three weeks... and am sorely tempted to use ATA to attend any opening day celebrations if we are given fair notice.

I bared witness to two people travelling with me receive an upgrade at the gate from Y to J AUH to CDG. I was travelling with two relos and I got us into the priority boarding lane in AUH with the J and F pax, the bloke queried me trying to board with a Y ticket and I showed him my Plat card...

let us know how this all works out for you, ronicat. Could be well worth noting.

Straight after booking.

I would really like to see transcontinental USA flights available for redemption at the 'Reward' rate, rather than only AnySeat rates. The current situation runs as follows (taking the cheapest possible return fares from a sample return flight in June 2012 compared to the lowest possible...

Update: This problem is still ongoing and has not yet been sorted out by Velocity despite two follow up phone calls. Although Velocity has promised that the problem is resolved by "making notes on file" and "forwarding it to the business improvement team" to be fixed completely, when my...

Ok we'll I've got my itinerary from VA and the ticket codes for my trip from Brisbane to Paris and back in Y+ are as follows: BNE->SYD Premium Economy "O" SYD->AUH Premium Economy "O" AUH->CDG Economy "H" CDG->AUH Economy "H" AUH->SYD Premium Economy "O" SYD->BNE Premium Economy "O" Therefore...

Very pleased to read this. I'll be flying BNE->SYD->AUH->CDG return in a month in Y+ and am delighted to read I'll have a decent lounge to access during the AUH layover. Unfortunately, I'm travelling with my mother and sister, so someone will have to miss out and languish in the terminal...

Do we have anything confirmed in terms of how we'll exit from the lounge onto the runway? (Fireman's poles to one side?) It's true that VA will be taking Gates 1 and 2 once they finish construction, correct? Poor pax having to sit on outdoor furniture chairs around Gates 1 and 2 atm, surrounded...

In my opinion there's nothing more Australian as a greeting from your CSM than a hug or a kiss or a lick, grope on the cough or a bit of a dry r**t.

Re: Europcar Priviliage Elite benefits (for Velocity Plats) "free additional drive co Just wanted to confirm my experience with Europcar: I was able to add the additional drive at the counter for no charge and no issue. We were upgraded from an intermediate (Hyundai i30 5 door or similar)...
