    QP passes flying CX

    Thanks markis, I think I found the answer here: Qantas Club Member Next onward flight that day must be a Qantas^, Emirates^ or Jetstar Airlines+ flight number. One guest allowed and must be travelling with the member on the same flight. I'm pretty sure the passes are QP equivalents, so...

    QP passes flying CX

    The outlaws are flying to HKG next week on CX and I was wondering if anyone knows whether they can use QP passes to access the lounge. I don't have any passes to check the T&C's myself but I can get some through a friend. I don't want to ask if there's no point though. Thanks for your help.

    Reclining [Moving to an empty seat with another behind to do so]

    Following something I heard on the radio this morning I thought I’d bring up a topic for discussion. You board your QF 737, you’re allocated 5A and by the time the doors are closed 5A, 5C, 6A & 6C are occupied. Is it acceptable for the passenger in 5C to move into 5B so that he can recline...

    QF to give SCs for Classic Awards [Economy(X) only, booked by Dec 31]

    No, I got the same email you did. it says you'll earn Status credits on eligible Classic Awards I think that classic awards will be split into 2 categories just like EK; saver & flex. It's a system used by many airlines where you'll be asked to pay a premium for better availability and...

    QF to give SCs for Classic Awards [Economy(X) only, booked by Dec 31]

    My 2 cents is that this is another alignment to EK. Saver awards, possibly at existing redemption levels, return only (like EK), no SC Flex awards with a jacked up redemption rate include SC's available os O/W (like EK) MASA's are gone Saver awards will be impossible to find. If I'm right, I...

    Partner Platinum and Parental Leave Pause

    With regard to your own pause, that depends on the likelihood of you continuing to maintain platinum in your own right. If you can continue to maintain then the latest date for a pause will be the childs 2nd birthday (assume 18 October 2016) which will extend your entitlement to 18 April 2018...

    Refused change without VM Credit card.

    Just an update... After an hour on the phone with the Asian call centre and getting nowhere (included multiple levels of supervisors), I decided to wait until this morning. 5 minutes on the phone with the AUSTRALIAN priority line, flight changed, fare difference waived. Thanks Virgin. Great...

    Refused change without VM Credit card.

    I'm trying to change a 2 for 1 booking for a trip I couldn't take this weekend. It's a flexi fare from MEL-SYD The change will result in a $6.00 fare difference. The call centre will not allow me to pay my $6.00 with a non VM credit card. I don't have the card anymore as it now has zero...

    Adding an infant

    The 737's don't have bassinette's anyway so that's not really an issue as we'd be holding the baby.

    Adding an infant

    Has anyone tried to add an infant to an existing booking? My wife & I want to book some sale fares for a trip next June (Queen's Birthday) with our as yet unborn child. Does anyone forsee issues if I try to add the baby later as at the moment we don't know the sex and it doesn't have a name.

    Status on Upgrades?

    On serfty's advice, I've just done my upgrade through the call centre & the reissued ticked shows my fare babsis as ZUPGD. The only prompting I gave the operator was to ask the question "If I upgrade using points will the seat be rebooked into Z class" When the operator said yes, I went ahead...

    Travel Together and Save Sale - Horrible Execution

    Not sure what's going on at VA but the home page is currently advertising a "Travel Together and Save Sale" No advice as to applicable dates, routes, restrictions. The declaimer does say "Conditions Apply" but no one in the call centre seems to know what those conditions are. And no one can...

    Virgin Flyer 2-For-1

    Apologies if this has already been addressed but has anyone had any success in booking 241's on Business class sale fares. Even though the T&C's do exclude sale fares, they never seem to have a problem booking economy sale fares.

    First AAward booking... Is it always that easy?

    Hi, Hoping someone can shed some light on this. Just called AA (US number) trying to book EY award Europe to Aus. Was told it must be booked as two awards for a total of 75k points. Is this correct or should I be calling back to speak with another agent. Thanks!

    First AAward booking... Is it always that easy?

    Quick question, Will AA hold seats with insufficient mileage in the account so that miles can be topped up later?

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Looks like status runs just got harder. Connecting flights now charge a hefty premium over direct flights. Hope you booked plenty of those $179 MEL-NTL flights last week!!

    Changing FF Details After Departure

    SWMBO had her CX (SG) details attached to a booking in order to get more favourable seating allocation. She usually changes this in the QP prior to departure so that points are allocated to QF. She forgot to do so this morning and I was wondering if anyone here has been able to change these...
