    VA Points upgrade waitlist process

    Just contacted the support line, they can't do anything apart from telling me there is no update yet, you are still in the queue, blah blah blah. Well I guess I will just be patient here, and be prepared to pack some sandwich (or grab some from Amex lounge) for lunch :)

    VA Points upgrade waitlist process

    Thanks folks, I will definitely give VA a call shortly. I'm still not sure if this is a wise choice for 72k points on a short flight, but consider I have to prepare and bring lunch if travelling on economy (yes +X, and no I don't like those food on offer for purchase onboard), biz is still...

    VA Points upgrade waitlist process

    Choice, I should have stated this clearly in the original question. So yeah definitely cannot go for the complimentary upgrade option.

    VA Points upgrade waitlist process

    Long time QF flyer, switched over to VA for almost a year now so less familiar with the process here. But basically I have an economy ticket to NAN departing in 5 days for 2A1C, and had been put on the business class waitlist for a while now. I am a Platinum and as the rule I have read is...

    Economy X vs Exit Row

    Are you able to put bags underneath if go with row 3? I remember there is/was some sort of divider in between the eco x and biz seats.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    On flightradar24 it added another entry of QF93 scheduled to depart at 01:01 25/11, not sure if this is for the cancelled flight today or not. I'm flying on tomorrow on QF93 so will try to get to MEL early coz I'm sure it will be a full flight.

    Upmarket Fiji island resorts

    I have a trip booked for late January 23, and have travelled to Fiji about a few times now this time I picked Vomo when it had a stay 5 pay 4 a while back. All inclusive together with child care facility is always helpful when travelling with little ones, I can’t tell if it worth the top dollar...

    Article: Airlines Reach Status Extension Crossroads

    Ya, basically the more status extension it runs, the less value it will be for many frequent flyers, especially those use cash to booking the premium seats. These days it is just way to easy to access a lounge, that in most cases the domestic lounges here is no better than the terminal itself.

    Article: Airlines Reach Status Extension Crossroads

    I'd hope airlines can build more business/first class only lounges, and those with status (or pass/invite/whatever) but flying economy have a separate lounge, just like what SQ is doing at SIN. The way currently QF/VA's lounge at SYD/MEL(and more) is just a zoo, pretty much pointless to sit in...

    Question about Virgin travel bank

    Being a relatively new follower of VA, I've got a question regarding travel bank. Basically I booked a flex fare from MEL-ZQN return over the Xmas period this year, and there is a possibility we are looking at cancel it (Hopefully not needed). From VA's website, I can see if refund to travel...

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    I've just noticed on ExpertFlyer that some international flights (or many?) are showing some interesting availability now, not sure if this is related what AJ said about opening more awards seats. E.g. QF93 MEL-LAX 24/11 J9 C8 DL IL W9 R6 TL Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 SC NC QC OC EL or QF146 AKL-SYD...

    Latest time to cancel awards flight

    Ya, so basically I will have a trip in Nov flying back from SFO to AKL (UA) and same day back to MEL and the AKL to MEL leg will be on a separate ticket. The airlines currently fly this route are QF, NZ and JQ (pass). Due to all the flights issues everywhere, in case my UA flight getting delayed...

    Latest time to cancel awards flight

    Thanks, I have read this as well. I mean by the terms, it appears I can cancel prior the flight departure time, but have to ring their number within the 24h. As a lowly silver, I am wondering if it makes practical sense if I decides to cancel say within 2 hours time of departure, then try to get...

    Latest time to cancel awards flight

    Thanks to the flexibility rule of QF that awards flights attract no processing fees until end of the year (international ones), but does QF have a policy regarding the latest time of cancellation request? Do I have to cancel it, for a full refund, a few days in advance, or a few hours, or as...

    Article: When Qantas Gets It Right, They’re Great

    I think the same words probably can be applied to any airlines out there, be it budget airlines like JetStar, AirAsia and the good old Tiger, or really any non-premium airlines. When things go well, they are all great at all sorts of services can be provided (AirAsia has flat bed too). But for...

    Many thanks @Mr H , that is very helpful information. I logged into Virgin Money, and navigated to the Rewards Status section. I can see the 2 entries for June were showing status of Fulfilled while the 2 entries for this month are Active. So at least this can tell me my points are not lost, and...

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    I’m well into my 3rd month now with this card, the first month had the points as well as the 40k posted into my velocity account promptly (1 day after statement), but the 2nd month nothing happened so far (6th/Jul). Is it normal to have this kind of delay?
