I have not received any bonus points from the last 3 offers they provided me. I registered, received the confirmation, and each receipt had the points earned (and credited to my account correctly in due course). NFI what's going on over there, but i'm getting a little sick of airlines...

Star lounge, no question. If the weather is nice (Which it should be), grab a drink and a bite, and head straight down the back of the lounge, up the ramp, and out to the terrace. It's lovely out there! Water pressure is a problem in general in the USA i've decided. The QF F lounge showers are...

I fly on average 60-100 segments a year, but often have 2-3 months between flights and then a large spurt of travel. Does that make me not a frequent-flyer despite having elite status in three programs? How long is a piece of string. There's frequent travellers and frequent flyers, they are...

Just the 1k alas. Don't think there were any 5k/5k offers :([/COLOR]

Re: 1,000 Bonus Points for New Velocity Members I was fortunate enough to receive a 5,000 bonus point per member that 'joins and earns'. If anyone would like to support an AFF regular, feel free to click my link. Go spend $1 in BP (or more if you want fuel etc), swipe a 'temporary VA'...

Re: VA 50,000 points giveaway to friends Already discussed here: 1,000 point referral for new Velocity accounts (mods, might want to combine threads? :) )

They can use my link and then I earn 5k each? ;) ;) ;)

Each person who signs up must earn points for you to get the 5k. I got this: "join *and* earn" Considering my entire family and friend base are already members, I will be struggling to earn anything. (FWIW, i'm a WP who re-qualified 8 months in to the 12 months)

Re: Earning Extra Status On Delta Comfort+ in the USA - Too Good to Be True? That jaggered little line to the north of the USA seems to have a massive toll gantry ;) Flying to/From Canada is a rip off most the time. I've been to YYZ a few times, and never managed to find reasonably priced...

Re: Earning Extra Status On Delta Comfort+ in the USA - Too Good to Be True? 2440 That's near $5/SC. Not great value by 'run' standards in the USA, but cheaper than you can typically find SC's for in Australia. There used to be 100SC's for around $250USD on DL, but the introduction of the W...

I, likewise, never bother with coach on DL. This is actually a bad thing IMHO. In researching some fares recently, i've noticed that the introduction of W on specific routes has jacked up the price of F significantly, in many cases, the F fare post-W introduction was higher than what they are...

Absolutely they can. I took a CX flight a few months ago and it was stinking hot in the J cabin. I very politely asked the CSM if they could lower the temperature and she was more than happy to do so. Some pax had to rug up, but as CX have no individual air vents, it certainly made it more...

As Virgin flies into LAX, i've found absolutely zero problems with any kind of recognition at check-in or the lounge for DL as a VA elite. In the early days, there were issues, but it's been smooth sailing for at least the past 36 months. SFO has also been excellent. There's sure to be a lot of...

I've used TripIt since day dot pretty much. It's continuing to evolve (not a fan of the new 'dashboard' at login but that's not important) and recognises an amazing number of itineraries from Airlines, Hotels, Rental car companies and even events. My one bugbear (and I don't know of any...

I've found it depends on the 'dragon' guarding the express path queues at both SYD and MEL. I've seen them outright refuse if both pax don't have a pass, and also let both through if only one does. I'd suggest you ask at check in for a second, or possibly someone here may have a spare you could...

I was always told these sheets are pretty toxic and to not use them (they suggest you wash your hands after handling them, not sure if the heat of a dryer changes anything).

Except me (and I just banked around 900 SC's in premium cabins on QF metal after having re-qualified for WP for the past several years with only 4 ~'s exactly). QF's decision process is always confusing :)

I don't believe that having flown VA J that you'll get lounge access as it's typically based on the next flight. You can of course try. Upon your return, if you're in J, you'll have access to the Star Alliance lounge in LAX which is good:) You'll only have access to the AS boardroom if you're...

Neat, Clean and a bottle of Bollie in hand? ;)

1) VA WP and SG (Platinum and Gold) have access to the Delta Sky Club (You're thinking of Delta One, which is their international business class cabin). You do not get access based on class of service on DL. If you have an Amex Platinum Charge card you can also access DL Sky Clubs. 2) As your...
