    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Gosh the Y class food that QF serve up looks better than that. Infact I actually think the Y class food generally and a couple of bottles of wine often make the difference to me especially if the price is negligible between VA and QF now that status points in VA are getting harder to retain status.

    It is still route dependent though I think. You should see the "biz" prices ex Perth to anywhere .....including Kalgoorlie! That trunk route between MEL and SYD is maybe an exception with lower costs and alsso I guess to Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast? Down to basics I can fly Perth to Europe in...

    New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

    Thought AF had or are dumping domestics ...or most of them in favour of trains? A lot can be said for Oneworld anyway if routing via LHR for plenty of euro connections with BA.

    New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

    Yes it is surprising that PER to CDG, one of Europe's biggest and appealing one would think, is maybe struggling yet London works ok despite I assume higher taxes. Never mind they can pull it and put it on Bali ex PER, that would work! 🙄🙄😜.not really sure if the price QF offer to Paris is that...

    Actually yes this is so true. Also their lounges (domestic) even make the VA lounge look good. 😁

    Airfield views/photography at Jakarta Airport?

    I stayed one night at the Jakarta airport hotel at T2. Good enough room with excellent apron and runway views. Friendly staff. Plenty of eating places also outside T2 ground level.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I've just completed six sectors on SQ down the back. Route was PER-SIN-CGK-SIN-BKK-SIN-PER. Quite a slog for 90 status points only (and that was booked prior to even a further reduction in partner status credits on VA?). At least it was also booked during the SQ 50 percent points promotion...
