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...

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

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...

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...

sorry to revive an old thread but I'm really not happy with my recent experience as it relates to this thread I will put it up here. Booked Qantas 10k Award + 27GBP fee flight on Iberia in Europe Qantas e-mailed me that the flight has changed, called Qantas to see if I can re-schedule...

This is probably totally wrong forum to post in, but the moderators can move or delete the post as necessary to comply with the rules. I'm trying to salvage what I can of an upcoming Euro-trip... nothing is really going my way, but the more money I spend the deeper I screw myself it seems...

Simple question that I might already have an answer to, but curious to hear opinions. My $230US Delta flights from JFK-MAD-JFK for next March have been changed by Delta with a difference of over an hour on each leg, which allowed me the opportunity to switch flights. Great! I...

This is one of those ideas that I have often, and always think to myself... nothing good will ever come out of it... but I think its worth a try and would love to hear people's opinions on it before I do it... instead of doing it and regretting it later... Anyway, I'm flying for my...

Just curious if they offer different meals on a daily basis. Its only my second time at the Lounge (BNE this time) and the menu seems to be identical to ADL. --Russ PS. DJ recommends Fat Yak, lol

Is there a place to store a bag early morning at Coolangatta Airport? I'm doing something crazy... okay maybe totally insane, but since I couldn't find a steady job in Brisbane as I had hoped, I've decided to get away from Australia for a few weeks and go back to France. Since...

I got too much time on my hands now while in Brisbane and looking for work (its killing me already because when I'm bored I buy cough online... like an $89 BNE-PER flight I just booked for November minutes ago) but anyway, I'm wondering what would be the wiser option for me to spend my miles on...

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I am looking for a room to rent in Brisbane or Gold Coast area for the next four months... (when I return from France, Perth and Hamilton Island... lots of travel on the agenda for the next two weeks) I figure instead of putting the money into...

I'm not happy with the new late departure time with a flight I booked for Hamilton Island... (I'm nearly loosing an entire day there, which is awful for such a short stay I'm going for) Can I cancel the flight since DJ changed flight times? (without penalty) --Russ

What a freaking day! Found out my job is being made redundant, boss is a nice guy and gave me until Friday to gether my cough together and leave. Called the landloard to give my week's notice and booked a flight to Melbourne to stay with friends while I look for something else. Mom just...

I wrote a little note to DJ customer service about an incident on my flight to Cairns for the FlyerTalk do, where I got dousted with Jim Bean by one of the flight attendants collecting rubish. About a month later, today, I got an e-mail explaining that this is not how they do business and was...

Please feel free to delete this post if it is inappropriate, but I thought it might be useful to a number of Sydney based frequent flyers or others flying into Sydney. I normally take the train to the airport (from Chatswood) when I fly... but a few weeks ago I had to take a taxi because I...

This seemed like a great deal when comparing 6,900 typically needed for SYD-MEL... yes or no? I decided to take advantage of it... but am now wondering if I should have waited for a different destination to come along at a similar rate... Do these Velocity specials appear often? thanks...

Sorry if this is not an appropriate forum for this... What is the most cost effective way of getting to this French island? I'd like to go there before I leave Australia and can't really justify spending $550+ on a return flight considering how expensive hotels are there. With the recent...
