Hi All Wondering if anyone happens to have first hand experience.... I am flying SQ and booked on group travel in G fare class. Just wondering if that will earn status? I had a look on the website and it doesn't mention G at all. Anyone out there know? Cheers

Re: Emerites fire DXB and evacuation procedures Isn't the bags-in-overhead-lockers thing done to death? Are we flogging a dead horse at page 19 of this repetitive sub-topic flame war. Any updates on new info about the incident?

Yeah I am aware - I am more concerned with the lengthways difference in this instance. I was in a no-other-option scenario however for the short AKL-BNE hop I would take it over the VA 737 Yeah bang on, the 737 is the VA domestic workhorse That is exactly the kind of answer I am after -...

Thanks, does he rate it the same as 737 Row 3 per chance? I have flown bulkhead on the NZ 777 but didn't rate it as "be okay with this for 14hrs" Can't seen to find any pics online either :(

Hi All! Looking for some help here. I have read the thread and can't get a straight read on what the story is with Row 20. I am flying BNE-LAX next week and then back at the end of the month. Also I've never flown the VA 777 Currently in row 22 as I like windows (apparently 21 is...

Sorry to hijack the thread here but I am going to the US in a few weeks and I am confused. I have not been to LAX since 2003 (!!) It looks like, according to this that check in is at T3 and they depart from T3 - yet the star alliance lounge (first class baby!) is in TBIT. Is the lounge a long...

It's because both flights are booked in the same PNR. All the my booking screen does is query the reservation system with a PNR. For the most part we only have VA on there but because both QF and VA tickets/sectors are there it shows both. I would be interested to see if you have one or two...

I will see you and raise 10-March. I really don't want to be the first one to test this :P

Well kinda..... The thing is that VA charged my credit card meaning that Orbitz masked off the credit card details in the PNR for VA to charge, they don't touch the money. This also means it has to be available in their GDS even if that is a private error fare for Orbitz (I couldn't quote it...

Pretty well first on the order of things to do I think - In-N-Out It is 40 each way - not going to get me to the magic retain plat number but I dont really care haha

Flying out 10-Mar and back 26-Mar YOLO

To hell with using them to keep status, that's an expensive way to use points. 500k would get you redemption seats to both LHR return and JFK return in J, on EY. ¿por qué no los dos? (That's just my thoughts though)

Can also confirm that you can void a ticket before midnight if you booked via an agent, even if that flight has been ticketed. VA could do the same, the question is IF they would void the ticket for you.

I am in the industry (non airline) so product desk pushes alerts to us - would be much harder for those not working in the industry Yeah I saw it in GAL

Clearly a mistake fare - already pulled before I could ticket it. Anyone manage to get one?

Re: 2015 in review As others have said: AFF Flight Tracker: Flight logging, mapping, stats and sharing However what works really well and makes keeping track of flights easier is Tripit. You can really easily import your itineraries in and its handy AF, you can then one click import into...

I live very much down the back of the bus - however happen to know the actual answer to this due to my line of work (bean counting). The likes of Air Asia and Garuda can divert to CGK or another Indonesian airport however Australian airlines (VA/JQ/TT) would be expected to go back and divert to...

Re: 2015 in review I've been waiting for this thread!! So I upped my travel from last year even if I changed positions that put a dent in my travel. Not quite the level that others around here do but enough to make VA WP so I am happy. Flights: 36 - 26 VA 4 SQ 4 HA 1 TG 1 PG 81% Work...

Thanks, now all the little things like the cap letters and 'Status Credit' - we can't un-notice that now and will annoy us just as much. When I first saw it I did a CTRL+F5 thinking it was loading wrong. Nope

Not quite. With a bit of creative ticketing then the following could be VA codes SYD LAX LAX LAS LAS LAX (can be done only via a TA) -- LHR AUH AUH SYD That will be 5/8 sectors for requal. However I've said it before that if you are flying like this you don't need status. If flying J...
