    Western Sydney Airport (WSI) Discussion

    But to go.... Where? This is turning out to be a possible fiasco, along the lines of MEL.

    Cannot add QF Frequent Flyer Number on Cathay's website

    I don't think so. The CX app didn't recognise the QF No. you entered as being valid, so it defaulted to your CX No.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Maracay Airport, Escuela Mariscal Sucre (MYC/SVBS) But well done! Yes, but have you ever been successful in using them to upgrade to business. I haven't.

    Yes, but they are a (pseudo) LCC, so anything goes.

    Qantas Health Insurance - what are the thoughts of those that have it?

    FWIW, and a little off topic, but I can't fault BUPA with their hospital insurance. My wife has had a couple of knee replacements this year (separate hospital admissions), and BUPA quite "happily" paid $50,000+ for the experience. Well, at least it didn't come out of our pockets...

    Things Virgin Australia Does & Doesn’t Do Well

    What's over engineered about it? A couple of lines of code. My 6 year old granddaughter could do it. But, I have to admit, it's a far better system than what VA are using atm.

    Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

    Yes, I'd do that in a heartbeat, as I do like the EK lounges, but unfortunately I think it will be well closed by the time I get to SYD.

    Qantas Sydney International Business Lounge

    Isn't access being restricted due to the reduced capacity. They might send me back to the FCL (oh horror). I like to have a drink or two before my 2:30 pm flight. and IME the FCL is quite puritanical with its pourings, and not to mention the attitude. I prefer the more Australian pub style of...

    Jetstar NZ faulty baggage scales at WLG

    Is that possible? Further, I'm sure that Jetstar's management views being worse than Ryanair as a badge of honour. Staff selection must be based on criteria relevant to their attitude to fit in with the Jetstar culture. Prospective prison warders would probably be quite suitable?

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    I do prefer the SYD lounge, but I have to say that the Spice Bar is streets ahead of any food offerings there.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    With those prices, I'd be looking at booking a completely different (quality) airline.

    Article: Great Value Turkish Airlines Round-the-World Fares

    Like all Middle Eastern airlines (OK, parts of Turkey are certainly bordering ME). Fly them at your own risk, knowing what to expect.

    Article: Have Australians Stopped Flying to the USA? Here’s What the Data Says…

    Don't know about the stats for Australia, but I've just read in the Guardian UK that bookings from the UK to the USA are up 20% at the moment. Must be the lovely welcome that's possibly in store, (perhaps consider deleting some of your Social Media posts now).

    Article: Virgin Australia Finally Refreshes Its Lounge Wines

    Sorry, but I think that's wishful thinking. Virgin (Bain and their American consultants) have decided to replace pax who pay for their flights with those that apply for the (several) right credit cards. It's the American way... But no less in number.
