I will have to start watching Jetstar fares closely... I booked a $33USD one way fare from Manila to Singapore on Cebu Pacific (never flown them before and wanted to add them to the list of airlines flown) Of course the date I booked it for coincides with OZ fest... so perhaps I could find a...

I do want to travel and do want to donate to the flood relief I'm sure, especially since I lived in Queensland. I completely forgot that Etihad and Malaysian Airlines participate in Velocity. I have seen some reasonable fares on MAS, alhtough I wonder if those promo fares qualify for mileage...

you're really into bridges, huh?

ALC-MAD-ALC in Economy Travelocity did not show a fare basis, but reading Qantas web site I only see two options... you get 1,000 miles for a qualifying flight or you don't... so my logic was if I got something, it should have been the full amount. (Not that it would make any kind of...

Whats the best redemption value for 8k Velocity points... Does DJ offer discounted award bookings... I seem to remember some 20% or so reduction recently but that was before I decided to go to Singapore so I didn't take advantage of that offer. I also noticed that I don't have enough to use...

Its a weird thing that happened when in Spain, posted about it on FlyerTalk and people suggested I follow up with Qantas, but every time I try to call I'm either calling on a weekend (when its still weekday here in the US) or the phone just disconnects when I choose Frequent Flyer option...

Hey guys, hope you are well since the last time I posted here! I'm really looking forward at the possibility of meeting some old friends made on my visit to Australia in 2009. I have finally made up my mind of another trip to the region on a similar arrangement, I'll be spending up to 6 months...

from what I remember from my return to LA from SYD, spend the rest of the day/evening out and about sightseeing... then went to sleep, woke up in the morning, a little more sightseeing and on the plane to New York. no jet lag and I have a tendency of not being able to really sleep on flights.

It was suggested on FT as a decent job that allows significant travel. Anybody on the forum in this industry that would recommend it? Just doing some research towards a career change. --Russ

pretty neat! in my 11 months down under I didn't get a chance to fly the blue 50th B737 with DJ now have another reason to come back... lol

here's the rudolph picture: Photo Virgin Blue Boeing 737-33A VH-CZQ pix seem to come from 2002, not in the current fleet anymore I assume? --------------- answered my own question no wonder I found the pic at www.vkontakte.ru the plane is currently registered with the Ukrainian AeroSvit...

Found what must be an old picture of a white + red tail Virgin Blue plane... http://cs1497.vkontakte.ru/u5820433/28625562/x_3268cccc.jpg I assume this is from when they first started out? As far as I knew all the planes were red + white tail except for the blue one to celebrate the...

can you redeem existing Velocity points for future Virgin America travel?

Wish it were available when I signed up for FB: Air France Flying Blue Bonus Miles promotion you can also earn other bonuses flying from Australia to Europe: AIR FRANCE is pleased to bring you this opportunity to earn Bonus Miles on AIR FRANCE flights between Australia via...

Hi sammy, would you consider trading 10,000 Flying Blue miles for 10,000 Qantas points? would you consider selling the 10k FB miles maybe? I need them ASAP... could transfer money from an Aussie bank account ASAP please PM if interested. cheers! --Russ PS. DO NOT LET THEM...

when will you guys get this movie in Australia? YouTube - 'She's Out of My League' Revised Trailer not Oscar material, but still about flying...

JohnK's post had me worried so I called Qantas when I made the original post at 7am Sydney time. Now, by 12pm Sydney time the 10k miles have been returned and are visible in my Qantas account. thanks all! --Russ

thank you both this is what I was told by the QF rep when I called earlier today will wait and see

Points wouldn't be transfered. I am allowed to book a flight using my account for anyone. And so can Air France Flying Blue mileage holders. There's a little "trust" involved in those transactions. --Russ
