+1 to this You can still plate it all to VA though, so you have one PNR for the whole trip and use VA flight numbers where they exist (but you don't have to) Only BA do LAS-LHR direct so if you want to stay on-network you'll need to stop somewhere (probably LAS-LAX-LHR for VA number out of...

As others have said - its against the T&Cs but nobody will chip you. But I'll play devil's advocate here, how is it unfair to you? Are you receiving less benefits or being disadvantaged if the OP did this?

I mean Points upgrade from one class to another. You can purchase a reward Y or J totally on points but not buy a paid Y and upgrade to J using VA points. I see your point about it being messy, but it really can't be that hard either. It is all just about the available fare classes/buckets and...

I was chatting to a friend at EY and they were saying the block on allowing VA tickets to upgrade is VA themselves, not EY saying they can't. (Can't say I've spoken to people from SQ/DL etc) Looks like they only want you to do it on VA metal to LAX and AUH :'(

The Krisflyer Gold lounge is a joke and is outdone by domestic VA lounges by a fair margin. It's so underwhelming considering its the airlines own home port. This is also the lounge that *G go to as well when they would get better SQ lounges in places like sydney or even the NZ lounge. Remeber...

Hi JB, Could you expand on this comment a little more? While I understand the Concorde was a massive leap in aviation technology, from what I understand it was somewhat incident free and totally crash free from launch in '76 until the year 2000. In my layman's eyes I would consider that a...

I had a cracker with them too recently. My SYD - BNE was canx day of travel and they got our group of 3 the last 3 Y seats on the next flight. They ticketed us on the next flight in Flexi fare classes when we originally booked in T saver and I got the points of the higher fare class (@5 point/$...

Yeah okay if some of that is award travel then you can't put it on one ticket number - you have to do what you did. Its a shame that you couldn't get a VA reward BNE-SIN-BKK. In all fairness, I work in the industry so know the right people who are really really good at fares & ticketing. When...

The SQ system doesn't look up your VFF number and return a status :( it will store a VFF number but it is dependant on the check in staff to recognise and add status. The good news is that you should have no issues, you might just have to be a tad forceful as SQ ground staff can be a little...

Will be interesting to see if it can be done... and I'm keen to know! The yes it can be done case: SQ can check someone into a VA metal flight, although I've only seen it done on a SQ codeshare, SQ ticketed onto a VA flight. (Friend was flying SIN-BNE-CNS and as a status-less pleb was put in...

Hi all! So has anyone successfully used this any time recently? The few times I have tried I have been told that VA have removed the waitlist functionality totally from their system. The first time I heard it I thought the lounge staff must have been mistaken, however having now heard it...

Had a really lucky one a few months ago - storms closed BNE and we were doing circle work above the GC. There was a small gap but more storms coming that were going to close the airport again. The pilot got on the PA and said we had bucketloads of fuel but if they were closed for more than about...

I would have a stab in the dark and say this is a fraud prevention more than anything. Even most TAs wont touch that kinda stuff with a barge pole. ​(can't really elaborate more on that sorry) The other thing to remember is not to compare return from MEL to a one way flight. There are a list...

And you would have been on the money! They credited today with points and status credits of the higher fare. Not bad for having an extra half hour in the harbour city :)

If you are booking on a SQ ticket not VA ticket (codeshare) N class is Discount Eco SC earn https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Info/StatusEarnFareClass/ And the points earn is 0.5 VA points per mile...

Hey hey! So I was on a VA flight this evening - booked in Q class (saver) on an E190. Said E190 went tech (or something of the like) and my flight went HX I was rebooked onto the next flight and to my surprise when I got to the airport and the kind lady printed my Boarding pass I was told I...

Being in-industry this sticks out to me that is operated by a licensed Australian Travel Agency whereby tickets are issued in Australia Most states have de-regulated travel agents While I understand that they would want it to be ticketed in AU - the wording is outdated. It probably won't...

Okay thanks guys! It is X class so a discount eco earn rate. When I read it now - I see that I got the ~~ and the ~ footnotes confused on this page https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Info/StatusEarnFareClass/ This is a PEBKAC error - my bad I do however appreciate your help...

Hi All - little confused by the VA website here Would a DL flight - DL 42 MIA-JFK to be exact - earn VA SC's? I can't work out the answer and hoping someone might be able to help :) Cheers
