FFS Transferred the exact amount of points I needed to do my plans. Maybe I'll ask sq to comp me the 35% to go back to VFF.

On the 737 it's free upgrade to economy X once more than 140 pax checked in, of still available for gold. Have used that a few times!!

I didn't even get a % rating this year.... What a fall from grace this has been

Nah I do SQ J to Europe sorry. But yes clock watching is the key.

This is a head scratchier..... I am the guy who books 330 days in advance so J availability isn't an issue, and SQ redemption @1.35 was similar value. In VFF you have access to VS and EY, while SQKF will give you *A and *A-RTW. A bit annoying as my next flight to book comes up in Mid-Jan...

This might not be exactly what people are wanting to hear but they release seats about 330 days in advance. +/- a few days but VA ticket on VA metal seems to be more precise. SQ metal may pop up early. If you want a seat on a particular day at the pointy end you need to book 11 months ahead...

Found a booking engine fail. It doesn't recognise singapSinas a departure City. The redesign they did a while ago was never fixed, and now this. Marketing need to be knocked down a few pegs over in Bown Hills.

No, only corporate travel agencies will be able to do this. That is places like FCM, Corporate Traveller, Corporate Travel Management and those kinds of places. If you don't know someone from there, chat to the EA or whoever does exec travel and ask them for the phone number. If you call them...

On one hand, yes it's much nicer than being in Y, very similar to domestic business. If you can pick it up on sale for $2k then you're doing well. However VA have arguably the best Y hard product across the ditch with a 777 that has 3-3-3 abreast seating (IMO YMMV). And you can upgrade to...

It has been two years since I jumped on those insane cheap mistake fares to LAX (under $300 return) and now my flying has slowed, and also now self-funded I could be 75-ish SC of maintaining gold come mid-August :-( Could really use a mistake fare right now.... Short of that anyone have any...

Monday 30 Oct I will be in the VA BNE lounge. Can guest someone in. About 3-3.30pm

Credit where credit is due! The new layout is great. Yes it has ads (I even white list on my adblocker) and they are much better behaved. They are well integrated without being obtrusive. Well done AFF!

Any AFFers going to be around the MEL DOM lounge Tomorrow (Tuesday) Evening?

They stepped it up a level for me. They cancelled my 5.55 BNE-MEL 10 days out and reissued me onto the 4.55 and totally failed to notify me. The desk agent checked me in as the wrong person for the 6.55 when I turned up at 5pm. When I told lounge staff that "hey my boarding pass had the...

Yes they will. I flew MEL BNE on one ticket plated to VA and then onto the BNE SIN that was on a separate booking plated to SQ. Desk agent might have to think hard but can 110% do it for you. It'll spit out your onward boarding passes too, however I'd have the SQ desk in Brisbane reprint...

Should be on its way back now, it was one of the aircraft used for the FCTG Global Ball charter. NZ also had a jet running AKL-BNE-HNL-AKL AKL-HNL-BNE-AKL on charter. Last year there were 3x QF A330s running from BNE/SYD/MEL-SIN around this time and next year it'll be an EY A380 doing the run to...

You would be surprised - they have become more intrusive, you may start to give up. I am glad someone shares some of my thoughts! Hahaha I love the internet, I am not suggesting communism is the answer, rather the opposite. It is all about what a market will bear and your average Joe isn't...

Hi Everyone! This is a little vent from an ex-user of the site that has in the last few days remembered why I don't visit here any more. The intrusive advertising is beyond the joke, almost to the point of offensive. I totally understand why this site has and needs advertising, and although...

That's even if they decide to have express path open. BNE Boarder force have have been too lazy to open it the last few times I've been departing BNE INTL, even though it was peak times. Thankfully the kiosks are pretty good, so check to see what's quicker at the time But yes, it does have...

Boo. Sending to KrisFlyer was plan B there. Thanks!
