A little trick is to dummy a booking for say, 6 pax and see whether J is still available or not. As the J cabin is only 8, if there's less than 6 available it will say that Business is unavailable. Adjust and re-run the booking as needed.

It will be on your boarding pass under "PNR" 1719099406 If it was a cancellation and rebook of a new flight, then yes, you'll likely not be eligible for the triple SC. If it's simply "fly ahead" and the lounge staff moved to to the earlier flight, then you should be fine.

Was considering going with this deal, however Alinta sent through an email advising of a drop (yes, you read correctly!) of 16% in my electricity rates to 31% below the reference rate. So long as there's no change to the reference rate then we'd be well ahead. Unfortunately I've found most...

I've just jagged a J rewards seat for BNE-YVR and return next month, however I'm not having any luck with getting seat selection to work via the AC website - it just keeps returning an error. Has anyone had this previously and/or have a resolution (without having to call AC)??

ADL-BNE on VA1391, bid minimum $125 pp for 2 pax, and was successful. Cleared at T-12.

In BNE lounge for the next hour, can guest 2. Breakfast is scrambled eggs and chipolata Sausages again...

In a VERY quiet BNE lounge till about 12.15 - can guest 3. Breakfast is chipolata Sausages and scrambled eggs.

Penne arrabiata isn't exactly tough to make, and I'd say the same for the Thai chicken soup. Admittedly on arrival on Monday night they had Spinach and Cheese pastries, Sausage rolls and a few other bits and pieces, so not the same menu every night.

In ADL for the next hour, can guest 3. Penne arrabiata or Thai chicken soup on the menu tonight.

Can we please add Somersby to the list?? :P

In MEL lounge for the next hour, can guest 3. Moderately busy this afternoon, but still enough seats to have your choice of view :)

In BNE lounge for the next hour, can guest 3. Breakfast is the chipolatas and scrambled eggs, pretty busy this morning.

This. If you're not satisfied/full from the meal, you can always ask for more ;)

There is a triple status credits up now until Wednesday - HUGE: Triple Velocity Status Credits For 72 Hours This would mean one MEL-BNE-CNS return leg would get you Platinum...

If you're going to do CNS then make sure it via BNE rather than SYD, as BNE-MEL (857 miles) gets into the second level of SC (80SC in J) rather than the first (55). Direct MEL-CNS is 1432 miles, so still only 80SC. That would be 160SC each way rather than 135SC. Currently pricing out as $925...

Rear of the plane is a PITA when it's announced on arrival that we're only disembarking from the forward doors today/tonight though. Much prefer to be forward half than back half if given the choice.

I got that same survey and basically said that at $1 it's getting too expensive for "preferred seating" and at about $15 it's getting too expensive for Economy X. Tell them the numbers that you're prepared to pay and hopefully the survey results send someone in Revenue Management a message.

That's been a bit of a surprise for mine, considering the horrible timing of QF's offering to LAX, however considering that UA also runs BNE-SFO daily, it would take away the connecting pax who would do BNE-LAX otherwise I guess 😎

Wasn't expecting BNE-LAX to stay and BNE-SFO to remain at 7 days a week into the Australian winter. UA appears to have enough capacity via SYD or MEL (0600 or 0630 out of BNE with VA, connecting) to get to the US West Coast, along with BNE-SFO direct 3 days a week.

Whilst there may be airlines that offer lounges for less, that's not VA. From memory, CNS is 12-14 domestic departures per day, whereas OOL is around 20 and the capital cities are busier than that again.
