    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    But is it simpler than QFF? I know what I think.

    Virgin are losing the plot.

    I think the point might be, who wants to get to Adelaide (or anywhere else) around 9 pm (unless you have no choice)? So how about comparing flights at 7 am?

    Article: Why is Dynamic Currency Conversion Even Legal?

    I like to offload my GBP cash at Tescos. No one bats an eyelid.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    If the new owners turn out to be the American aircraft scrap merchants widely touted, then I wouldn't fancy your chances.

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I'd be well into Qantas GFL now, if it wasn't my preference for Ansett (much to my boss's annoyance) way back when. Instead, I ended up with lifetime Star Gold, courtesy of my UA MP lifetime Plat membership. Who was to know about 9/11?

    Qantas wine poor shipping quality

    I haven't seen this before. I guess it depends on the winery.

    Double Status Credits - QBR Exclusive (October 2025)

    This all to thwart VA, who are actively selecting their bigger business flyers to become Plat (and above). I don't see VA winning this argument, and neither should they.

    Do you prefer booking directly or via third-party sites?

    I usually book AirBnB properties through booking.com, as I find they often offer better rates to me as a Genius level 3, and I find booking.com fairly easy to deal with in relation to accommodation. The exception with booking.com, and other OTA's such as GoToGate, is that they can be a little...

    Public Transport for Seniors

    Correct (we know as we have free MyWay+ cards. Prior to that, we were under 70, and had concession fares (but free between 9 and 4).

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I was told by my wine consultant that she has guidelines as to how many extra points she can offer, and can't go beyond this. So you make your decision on this basis. Usually, for me, it's just go with the website price.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Well, actually Pooch, I'm not doing that run until next month. I'm in two minds about it. If the weather's fine, I'll may well walk to Breadalbane and wait for the bus. If it doesn't come or if there's some other issue, I'd call an Uber. Or, alternatively, I could just rent a car at LST. I'll...

    Public Transport for Seniors

    I'm not sure what you were trying to say Pooch, but my wife and I are 70+ and do have completely free travel within the ACT with our MyWay+ cards, On the other hand, if we wish to take our 5 year old granddaughter out for a tram ride, she needs to have her own MyWay card (at a cost) and pay for...

    Are you a yay or nay to Avios subscriptions

    I took out a cheapie subscription for GBP 55 pm, just to get enough Avios to book a flight LGW-MLA that was $900 for a cash fare. Mission accomplished (got the last seat), and I'll probably cancel after 3 months, although I can see the value for intra-Europe flights.

    Aeroplan Seats.aero Award Availability Alerts: Phantom Availability or Glitch?

    FWIW, I've found that seats.aero doesn't display many QF rewards available on EK I was looking for Europe-Asia (DXB) fusing QF points for a cerain date, and all that showed up were flights ex UK. I was looking for a FCO-DXB reward, but nothing was identified. I thought this was a little...

    Double and Triple Velocity Status Credit October 2025 - Targeted

    Seems to me that VA are struggling to get pax to fly more and reach the highly elevated Velocity Gold/Plat levels, so they are now handpicking members for elevation. Perhaps they should've just dumped the carp and elevated their preferred flyers without any conditions. The end result will be...

    Worst Domestic Qantas Lounges & What Can be Done About It?

    Yes, all valid concerns then. I'm usually quite able to fight my way through this crowd and find a seat, get a few drinks and mentally chill out. If I get annoyed, it's usually because of more important things.
