As per this page, you'll earn if you fly on/after 30/9/25.

I'm also waiting for compensation from Iberia. They've technically agreed to pay it, but simply ignored my messages when I provided my Australian bank details. FWIW, the only reason Iberia eventually agreed to pay was because I filed an actual complaint with the civil aviation authority in the...

Agree with your comments @Kiwi. Murrays has been riding the gravy train for too long, great to see some competition and my previous Flixbus trips in Europe have been fine. I like that you have the option to book an empty seat beside you.

I realise this won't be for everyone on this forum, but this looks like a place I would actually enjoy staying. And as an added bonus, you earn Accor status nights. ;)

Annnd my AFF Airlines flight out of Oulu just showed up :p The seat covers seem brand new ;)

Last night in Oulu, Finland

So far we only have stats for the first 2 and a bit months of the VA/QR operation to DOH. Here are the average monthly loads for the QR and for the VA flights, according to BITRE data: QR marketed flight loads Australia-DohaVA marketed flight loads Australia-Doha June 202579% (inbound) /...

Obviously it depends on the person/situation, but I personally think that it's nice to have about enough points on hand to book a return J trip to Europe or a RTW trip, in the case of Qantas. So around ~350k points perhaps. That said, if I have points and want to spend them, I'll just spend...

It's best on the origin and destination country. Australia requires this for inbound flights from most countries, but there are some exceptions (like New Zealand and USA - there are a few others as well). Some inbound flights to the USA also have this, depending on the departure country. I had...

It’s definitely an Australian rule. And a very outdated one, at that.

So once again, you only get the bonus if you transfer two months in a row. I wonder if next May we'll see something that's a bit simpler, or perhaps more creative?

I don't think Qantas would consider the walkway space to be wasted - although the reason is not immediately obvious. Having such a long "walk of shame" past the entrance to the F lounge surely incentivises a not insignificant number of Gold frequent flyers to try to earn Platinum status...

The reason I ask is that the particular LAGs checks being discussed in this thread are secondary checks at the boarding gate which are specific to inbound international flights to Australia (these are required by the Australian government, except when departing from certain exempt countries like...

Were you flying directly to Australia from SGN, HAN and HKG on those occasions?

Wait, so you’re saying Emirates First reward seats on SYD-CHC don’t show up on the Qantas website if you search for one-way or return flights, but do if you use the multi-city tool? Well that’s an annoying and bizarre quirk!

Does the Saudia website work?

🤦‍♂️ if true

Absolutely - Gold on both is a perfectly legit strategy and I'd personally much rather have both Velocity Gold and Qantas Gold than just Velocity Platinum!

Just tested this, and you're right. Well that's annoying!
