    Qatar Airways Seat Selection

    Booking via Virgin website seems to follow those some allowance. I have a "V" fare and a "Q" fare booked yesterday, both in Choice category with Virgin Aust. The "V" fare gets free standard seats, the "Q" doesn't. However, this information does not seem to be available at time of booking. At...

    Virgin Business Flyer - Discounts on partners

    As per other post. Booked a QR economy flight via business rewards yesterday. Simple return to Europe. Both "choice" fares - Q and V fare classes. discount was about 1.5% to 2% depending on outbound or return. Dummy booking on the QR website, and quoted undiscounted fare matched. I also did a...

    Qatar Airways Seat Selection

    Thanks. Learning experience for me, being this will be my first time in economy on Qatar. I'm a bit annoyed at myself for not getting the flex fare on the outbound, which was only ~$100 more and came with free seat selection. On the flip side, the difference in fares (cash saved) for the...

    What cheeses me off

    We used to get this a lot, as in all the time. One day, fortuitously, my partner just happened to be going out when they caught the postie (on honda bike) at the letter box writing out a card. Waited until the postie put the card in the letterbox, then made their presence known. Took card out of...

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    no comment about rebates. Nut I noticed my Macquarie statement today (replacement visa for the Jetstar mastercard) claims no fees on international purchases in store or on line.

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Oh you think data is the same as calculations... Hmm basic mathematics. so you don't have an alternative metric to calculate... ok I've already responded to your flawed claims about my assumptions. flaws that I already acknowledged in my post. nice try fail.

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    And the airline would've have paid for you to get a taxi to your home, assuming the disruption was within the airline's control as per the policy Once again: your position is illogical. You had multiple choices you've reject the choice that cost you nothing, you've rejected the choice of a...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    It is $120, two taxis each way. NOT hundreds of dollars!!!!!! And, of course, Uber was likely cheaper. If I could not carry $120 for a month or so waiting for compensation from VA, then I should not be travelling international. Otherwise, exercise another choice and sleep on the airport floor.

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    You had choices that didn't require staying at a hotel. I said nothing about you paying for a hotel, happy or otherwise. So yes, it is illogical to claim I've said you "should be happy to pay $450" The taxi info you gave was wrong, and now it's backflipped away. I bet VA would've given you taxi...

    Virgin Business Flyer - Discounts on partners

    Got an email yesterday form Virgin business flyer about booking with partners, Qatar and United. Also earning Business Rewards points on QR, SQ and United. Looks like the flight needs a VA flight number. Edit: website link: Make overseas work trips wonderful Conditions

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    lol Yeah, actually I was not saying NAB tool over the rate. I missed a comma: Hope that clarifies, sorry for the confusion. I clearly stated that the inaccuracy in my calculations would be mostly due to variations in the sample rate I've chosen and the time of the actual rate used. I also...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    What you'll find I said is that someone in their home city does not need a hotel. You said the taxi was $100 each way. Now that story has changed? Who cares? Well getting the details correct is very important to people trying to draw valid conclusions about the information provided. I did not...

    Well yes, of course there is a U in QANTAS. The first letter stands for Queensland. ;)

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    Well, then claim the costs back. I really don't understand what you're trying to say that's relevant to the topic of a lawyer who falsely claims the contract conditions don't exist. It was very clear to me that my recent VA flight change by 5 hours meant it was entirely possible for me to claim...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    Allegedly you're experienced traveller. No, you dont pay for a taxi, VA gives you two taxi vouchers. Or you take the $200 for a hotel and use that money to pay for your taxi. Interesting factoid, not sure why you'd want to make it so hard. $100 taxi fare? You're not really living in Brisbane...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    So I just watched the tikitok via the News corp story. The hotel was in the middle of nowhere? Well MEL is in the middle of nowhere, so was it the holiday inn at MEL? He said the hotel was run by "monkeys", racist much? Signs off with "follow me for more legal tiktok". Yeah a lawyer who...

    Virgin Australia ‘Platinum’ customer slams airline on TikTok

    Aside from a lawyer not reading the contract there is also the lawyer not reading the compensation policy. I'm a bit confused by the OP saying it was SYD-MEL. In which case, a hotel might be irrelevant since I'd expect a Sydney based lawyer could just go home for the over night. But another...

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    I think that's my point, the earning was pretty ok initially. Then it reduced for "the kangaroo route" at about the same time as the EK partnership on "the kangaroo route". I agree 100% the cuts for MH was all about the EK partnership, or maybe that should be my opinion. Moving I and Z in 2022...

    Today's Learnings (MH Flexible Earn on QF & Combined Classic Reward Bookings)

    The thread highlights a couple of things. 1. Personally, I will almost never book a return domestic flight. There's almost no need to do so since they removed things like stay Saturday night discounts. etc. 2. The MH earning was gutted around about simpler and fairer and when EK came on board...
