Has anyone else noticed that Virgin Australia now has a regularly scheduled red-eye flight from Cairns to Melbourne?! VA1302 operates six days per week, leaving CNS at 23:55 and arriving MEL at 04:15. I wonder why, and if anyone is actually choosing to book this! 🤔

You should be able to change the frequent flyer number after booking, either on the operating airline's website or at the very least, when checking in. That way you'd get Qantas Gold benefits. Alternatively, could you use AAdvantage miles to book for "someone else" and then enter that person as...

Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is launching lifetime status recognition in the form of a "High Five" program. If you fly with Virgin Atlantic in five different years, you'll get a bonus of 12,000 Virgin Points and 10% bonus points on future flights...

Does this flight start or end in Cambodia?

Yes - someone mentioned in another thread that you might need to search using the multi-city tool though on the Qantas website.

Back at Ibis Melbourne Central today and checking in at the kiosk as an Accor Plat member, I’m offered a breakfast “deal” for $50. The previous screen showed my Platinum status, so it’s not like the machine didn’t know. Not a great look when breakfast is supposed to be included for Platinum members!

Yep saw these today. All over the arrivals hall - I guess it might help a bit in the long run 🤷‍♂️

I don’t think Iberia has any intention of ever paying. That’s the issue.

I don't know the answer to this, but in case it's helpful I did notice the Virgin Australia logo yesterday at the Qatar Airways transit desk which is located before you clear transit security after arriving.

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

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 based 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.
