    Emirates restricts first class awards to elite members only

    Just search economy then once loaded select either all or first: On a side note if this turns out to be true I'm very happy I snagged a MAD-DXB in F for later in the year using QF points.

    Changes to CBA Travel Insurance Activation

    You can activate the policy regardless of spend however to make a claim (or to be considered having a "valid" policy) you need to prove you've spent the $500 in relation to that trip (flights, hotel, car hire, tour etc) prior to departing. The post a few above is suggesting spending the $500 on...

    Changes to CBA Travel Insurance Activation

    I think the Smart Awards card is the sweet spot here. Spend $2k per month and the card is free (otherwise $19 per month) with the insurance included. Add on top no overseas fees (unlike many other cards with the 3% fee) plus 1 CBA point per $1 (including overseas spend, increased to 1.5 CBA...

    Express Path. Is it operating?

    Brisbane has express path for departures security, arrivals immigration (manned counter only on the far left) and arrivals quarantine (they have one exit for express path/crew/short domestic connections and then the other for all other passengers).

    Express Path. Is it operating?

    A couple of weeks ago the F/J security line was empty but the smartgates were the problem, only one smart gate was dedicated to F/J and that new area with security before immigration doesn't have enough gates yet, this will change once the whole area is done but for now it's a bit of a mess.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    The original fare + the fare difference counts. The change fee does not count.

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    No different to how the old 5 pts per $1 was calculated. GST and all taxes included except the credit card/payment surcharge.

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    New plane, VH-YVC. This is what’s showing in the system but it just landed from Sydney. This will delay arrival into CBR by about 2 hours, and also impact CBR-OOL-CBR-MEL throughout the day.
