    Honestly what is the point of QFF now

    Your travel date is still during school holidays and in the middle of a small tennis event. Just because it's two months away doesn't mean anything and in fact if you look at closer dates you'll find more seats as it's not impacted by either of the above.

    Club Jetstar Extras announced: Qantas Frequent Flyer Extra

    I've seen some reports that QF Gold/Plat get access to the ICN oneworld lounge when on JQ in a similar setup to CHC/ZQN partner lounges.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    I've had some, at first I thought overly sweet but in reality it's quite dry.

    Accor ALL Signature Discussion

    They are all over the place with the promos. LoyaltyLobby got hold of some T&Cs that had 40/35/30% off which weren't updated so indicated 1 November to 22 November. That was quickly removed and replaced by a Pre black Friday sale ranging from 30-15% off having dates 10-12 November (brazil...

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    Didn’t end up going to breakfast so no idea. Got a coffee and donut on the way to the office at daily bread.

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    As a WP I’m impressed and like the idea. I’ve got WP with both VA and QF so this makes VA a even less attractive given Economy X was a major benefit of VA.

    VA wifi trial Nov 2025 - free messaging

    Disagree on that one, speeds/ping is so much better than Qantas and because most people don't pay I usually get speeds of 40-50mbps sometimes higher.

    Accor ALL Signature Discussion

    I'm currently part way through an Absolute plan that I got last month for 25% off. The 30% off makes it even better but only for those who haven't had Signature before they're limited to 20% off. Last year the black Friday deal was 50% off the first single month so hopefully this "warm up" deal...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I mean that's the thing about the current program, 38SCs on a VA status run is $456 (excluding lite fares). If flying VA Y or partners a bit in the next 12 months could be worth it plus the soft landing to silver (couple of lounge passes) in a years time. Currently a VA lounge membership (that...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Short Answer : No would be fine not a problem. Long Answer : Velocity points and SCs are awarded based on the underlying fare basis of the eticket (yes still a thing even in the new $ = points/SC world), upgrades keep the eticket in the same fare basis but the reservation is changed to Z...

    Points/Bid/Platinum upgrade to/from Bali

    Did you ask at check in or even call Virgin day of travel? I've had some luck day of when still seats available but not a reward seat so often worth a shot.

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    The intention is port headland as a temporary stop, qantas still don’t have all the regulatory approvals they need.

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    Minus a monthly PER-XCH special Saturday flights that will be direct and depart Perth at 12:30pm all flights will be a 9:25am departure. I recently flew out PER-CCK on VA and using priority pass accessed the Aspire lounge. The breakfast was average and coffee was ok so if Qantas doesn't at all...

    Consequences of Ditching Last leg of an Itinerary

    The OPs original post mentions there will be months between the 2nd last flight HKG-SYD and the last flight SYD-NAN. Yes the bags would connect if the time between flights was 24 hours or less but in this case Sydney airport won't be holding the bags for a couple of months to load onto a flight...
