    Velocity business rewards to/from DPS

    Does anyone know what business seats Virgin are releasing on this route. As soon as seats were available for early Feb24 I searched various routes ex Aust (including new OOL route) and dates and couldn’t find any availability. I was speaking to Virgin last week for a particular flight and they...

    Article: Virgin Business Class: Domestic Tops International

    1675730470 I flew DPS-BNE in Virgin Business on 5Feb and agree it is very sub-standard. We were in row 2 and seats did recline but as usual our meal order was taken last and they had run out of choice of meals. Offered a vegetarian meal which I strongly object to as being the only alternative...

    Aus. Financial Review benefit gone. (Replaced with The Australian)

    This is a real disappointment for me as I browse the AFR on my iPad every day and click on any articles that interest me. Their personal investment sections on Wed and Sat are very good value. So I will take DRD71 advice and email them. I was hoping there would be 100's of entries on this thread...

    Ponant Antarctica Beyond the Polar Circle

    MR61 I could write reams on this because we agonized over which cruise to choose from late 2017 for a cruise we did in November 2018. My advice is to get back to basics by which I mean you need to ask yourself what do you want from the cruise eg comfort versus adventure. We choose adventure...

    Membership questions

    Yes you transfer to QFF but only after they are accrued at Le Club; and transfer rate is 1:1. So you have to log inot Le Club, click on "Manage my Le Club Accorhotels points" and complete the form. There is a minimum of 4000 points to transfer. I don't bother as I stay at Accor enough to use...

    Hotels in Bangkok and Koh Samui/Phangan

    I have a conference at Impact and looking for an Accor hotel which is convenient for one of the mass transport systems in BKK. Novotel BKK is full and not sure whether to book at Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok (next closest but still miles away), VIE Hotel Bangkok or the Pullman Bangkok King...

    KrisFlyer Business Savers waitlist

    Yes you have to have the points in your account first before you can complete the booking (or you can use points + pay). I have found better availablity when you do the whole trip (OW) in one transaction rather than splitting into two sectors (and it is cheaper). Also for super savers, if you...

    Westpac Singapore Airlines Card Changes 15/12/10 & 1/3/2011

    I received my first annual voucher in Nov10 (must have just made the cut-off). I had to ring KF to find out how to use it....a little box pops up on the award booking screen...very easy to miss. I recently tried to use the voucher for an award booking in Sep11, it would not accept it, so another...

    Kris Flyer Points

    Re: Kris Flyer Points Significant changes I am going to review the web sites that compare these cards. I also recall both Choice and AFR did recent reviews, so will look at that as well. However I would love to see Virgin take up the challenge and provide a PT card (visa or mastercard) with a...

    Kris Flyer Points

    I just received a letter from SQ Westpac Platinum advising that the Visa earn rate will be reduced to $1 = 0.5miles from 15March2011. Also they are discontinuing the Discount Miles Voucher which you receive on your annual renewal. No change to the amex earn rate, but I can get that earn on my...

    Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh on Jetstar

    Thanks for the feedback, I checked Qantas and it only Jetsaver fares, so still cheaper to book sector fares on Jetstar; but will keep my eye on this; at least the sector is offered. Don't like the thought of going thru SYD, adds half a day onto the trip and would rather go thru SIN in that...

    Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh on Jetstar

    There does not seem to be a way to book a thru flight on Jetstars BNE-DRW then DRW-SGN (Saigon for Ho Chi Minh) flights. Seems the only thru flight is SYD-DRW-SGN. I have spoken to Jetstar but staff were as baffled as myself. Seems Jetstar is not making DRW-SGN flights very user friendly for...

    KrisFlyer Business Savers waitlist

    Dear KPC Again thanks for your kind help. If it comes to that I will try and talk my way into the lounge, but I will not count on that. As I have booked the Y award seat, how do I go about changing it online to a J award seat (yes we really want everyone on the same flight) as you have...

    KrisFlyer Business Savers waitlist

    thankyou kpc for your brilliant post. I was wondering about the cost to change/upgrade and the SQ charges are very reasonable. We definately want to be on the same flight and I have read how this can be difficult for bookings with more than 2 pax. After reading your post I have now booked in...

    KrisFlyer Business Savers waitlist

    For anyone still watchng this thread, when you "book" the standby business savers my booking is in limbo for approx 5 days and if the seats do not come thru then your booking is cancelled. You can then rebook and try again. I have done this twice now and also rang KrisFlyer (whith a long wait on...

    KrisFlyer Business Savers waitlist

    Just getting my points together (AMEX) and hope to book the waitlist later this week. Will let you know how I go. Thanks for info on the skybed - they look excellent. Seatguru actually calls them lie flat beds and thats where I got the terminology from. Also interesting comment on avoiding...
