    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Well at least that explains why all the Saver seats disappeared! I dont know how many PPS members there are but if they have all been contacted and done simliar to you its no wonder things changed so quickly. Good luck to you.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    For weeks I've been browsing J seat availability from ZRH, AMS and FRA to either SYD or MEL and there has been lots of availability of Saver fares (non waitlist) from all 3 airports. Looking just now 99% are Advantage fares with an odd few Saver fares on wait-list. I usually look around...

    Spirit of Tasmania to set sail from Geelong.

    Queensland and NSW people may be more likely to take the ship from Sydney to Hobart than Devonport and Tasmanians escaping to Queensland by car/caravan could get a head start getting off in Sydney. I quite enjoy the ship when taking the car across and when the new ships come into service it...

    Spirit of Tasmania to set sail from Geelong.

    I'd go even further and suggest Hobart/Sydney. I'm sure Queenslanders and NSW people would support it let alone Tasmanians going directly north. Two ships, one between Hobart and Sydney, the other Devonport and Geelong. It will never happen of course given the State government keeing the...

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    I cannot agree more. Planning a trip to eastern Europe (and maybe the US) September 2023. I have enough QFF points for 2 J seats one way and enough Krisflyer miles for 2 J seats the other way. I'm more than content that redeeming the Krisflyer miles will be painless (and cheaper) and I'll...

    Scenic river cruise Europe

    We won't be doing the cycling part (on shanks pony as my mother used to say) but I like the sound of the freedom to do your own thing.

    Scenic river cruise Europe

    I will check the self guided options out. We are planning an eastern European rail/river cruise (mainly rail) in 2023 but after watching a couple of YouTube videos went off the idea of the river cruise part. We were put off by the apparent regimentation of doing things the same time as...

    Complimentary Lounge Passes Disappeared

    No they only appeared a few months ago and had an expiry date in 2023.

    Complimentary Lounge Passes Disappeared

    Earlier this year I had 2 complimentary lounge passes in my Qantas FF account from my Amex Ultimate CC. They are no longer there. There is a message about the passes not being able to be used during peak times and I initially thought they were taken off and would re-appear but I suspect now...

    Where are the awards?

    I normally do that and it brings up the economy fares and some J seats at higher points. It still doesn't explain why it shows "Lowest" as 159,000 point seats above and nothing under "Business Classic Reward" though.

    Where are the awards?

    I have seen this several times when looking for options into Europe next year. Every day appears to have J availability at 159,000 points but down below nothing. Does anyone know why this is?

    Using KrisFlyer miles on Virgin Australia

    Thanks for that. The web site wouldn't let me add my Velocity number but the app did.

    Using KrisFlyer miles on Virgin Australia

    I like that you can use Krisflyer miles to book Virgin domestic flights. I booked HBA CNS later this year. A couple of downsides though. I cant link my Velocity account number to the booking so the booking doesn't appear in my account. Also I'm not getting updates when flight times change...

    Flight changed to before I arrive!

    My experience with Virgin call centre in recent times has been pretty good. Got answered in quick time and issue resolved although it was not particularly complex, just something I was unable to do online. Maybe I got lucky :cool:

    Flight changed to before I arrive!

    To be fair I did receive a later e-mail saying they are monitoring my flights so I'll wait a few days and see what they come up with. If unsatisfactory I will have to call (my heads still spinning from Tuesday when I had to call Qantas about other flights) and ask for my best option based on...

    Flight changed to before I arrive!

    I received an email today regarding a flight change in August. I originally booked reward seats from Townsville to Hobart. Leg from Townsville to Brisbane on Qantas and Brisbane to Hobart on Jetstar (direct flight). Problem is the new Jetstar flight from Brisbane to Hobart departs before we...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I called Amex Travel today twice. First time I got answered in about 5 minutes and the second about 20 minutes so happy with that. Staff were obviously overseas but seemed quite competent although I only wanted to change flight times that Qantas had changed on me. Problem is I booked the wife...

    Article: Spare a Thought for the Poor Qantas Contact Centre Staff

    I just don't understand why Qantas don't make it possible for customers to self serve straight forward changes on the site. As an example I recently had a connected flight changed from a convenient time for me to an inconvenient time. When I looked at other options I could see some good...

    How do I select seats on Virgin booked using Krisflyer miles?

    I did that except I got the Virgin reference from Virgin after giving them the ticket number from the Singapore Airlines reward booking (see above). Going through Virgin I was unable to book the seats myself.
