    Europe car hire.

    Just looked at booking a europcar with a so called discount of 15 percent at Glasgow Airport UK via Aussie site. Havingna laugh. Basic price is fine. Even through europcar their zero excess cost is ok. Then they offer additional protection at nearly 200 dollars if the car breaks down ...sorry is...

    At the end of the day, looking at what people say and my own experiences for the serious FF, what is it that VA actually offers that makes the difference? Looking at their offerings: Limited lounge access across the network. Limited network. zero international lounges unless flying with...

    Bonus Velocity Status Credits for VA flights - Book & fly between 12 January and 31 March 2026

    It's typical VA. Looking at this thread. It's not even easy for everyone to actually find the "offer" once logged in etc. it's also as most people seem to be saying, are going to fall short of renewal in status by some margins further up the status chain, unlikely that max of 125 SC is going to...

    Bonus Velocity Status Credits for VA flights - Book & fly between 12 January and 31 March 2026

    I don't mind that so much....I just think that there are to many "free loaders" who can be invited in..especially those who are not actually flying!! What is the point of that? There are still to many people in the VA lounges more often than not.

    Gifting Gold

    Does it not depend on how many points credits you have though above usual.platinum requirement to maintain before you can gift gold? I'm sure actually under the more recent "enhancements" they even increased that amount required.

    NZ metal, *A Gold benefits, earn VA status

    Can you check in using ANZ app when booked under VA code share? I am a little nervous as when you go through the process in the ANZ app it asks for.FF number and in the drop.down.does not include VA...however recognises that the flight is booked under a VA flight number. Can you "double dip"?🫢...

    Double points on Velocity hotels - book by 31/10/25

    Question on experiences on cancellation of hopper hotel booking (flexible). Cancelled hotel, told via e mail will receive full refund but ten days later still waiting. Is this normal?

    Who is the current lounge "caterer" contract with and expiry date....does anyone know? It might not be so easy to change contract or negotiate better quality ....depending upon current provider.

    Advice please on changing a flight!

    Not have an extra night in Amsterdam instead then? Would never give QF that amount of money for a flight change. Robbery!!

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    LHR-JER-LHR twice over in biz with BA? Or due to the relatively high frequencies to GLA and EDI? Is it not 40 points on QF for each of these sectors in biz? Also I'm sure any other European route via LHR are with QF 40 each way in biz...AMS...PRG etc?..or am I misreading your need!?

    Perth Qantas Club complimentary lounge access

    With mining staff turnover .not all surprisingly! That QF club lounge represents Hi Viz rather well daily! As it's bank holiday weekend in question....who knows, might find that the club lounge will be closed and they will direct users to the biz lounge.

    Velocity Chief Nick Rohrlach departs in management shakeup

    Yes. This actually works quite well for me on PER-AKL sectors. Long enough flight to enjoy in biz, get relatively decent SC , can fly NZ metal with VA flight number ...usually (although not always) at the same price even when ANZ have a sale it carries through to VA web site.....easy seat...
