Thanks @yachty, I did take a look through that thread, but I wasn't 100% sure this was the issue.

Thanks. Just tried the app, but have the same there. Just shows no seats as available.

I've booked a Jetstar flight from NRT to MEL via CNS in Business Class (Max) in April and am not able to select seats. From contacting the chat team, they say there are no seats available to select on the flight, which is why I cannot make a selection and that I should speak to the agents at...

Thanks for the replies. From reading through the lounge access rules, it would seem that we may still be able to access the lounge and the rules are no different to if we booked via Qantas anyway.

Thanks for the quick replies. There's 5 of us travelling and I don't have enough points to upgrade us (plus the likelihood of 5 upgrades is pretty much zero), so upgrades aren't a factor for this trip. SCs and points aren't a big issue. I'll retain QFF Gold this year, but I don't think I'll...

I'm looking at flights for a family trip in October and the same itinerary is around $1500 less if I were to book with American Airlines vs Qantas - exactly the same flights and routing. I'd generally prefer to book direct with Qantas, but $1500 is a decent saving, so, is there any downside for...

Thanks both for the replies on testing, both super helpful and seems pretty straightforward.

@N860CR @rcn Thanks for this trip report. I'm currently considering doing a quick visit to the UK in January for a family event. The only things I'm not sure about at the moment are getting the required tests in the UK. Did you pre-book the day 2 test and the PCR test before leaving and if so...

Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought. Travelling next Saturday (21st March). Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens next week.

I've had a read through the thread, but at the moment I'm not sure what my current position is. Booked a RTW fare for the family going to LA, New York, London (for my sister's wedding) and back via Hong Kong back in July last year. Flights were paid for on my Citibank Prestige card. Booked...

A380 on MEL-AUH, 777 on AUH-JFK in both directions.

Interestingly, I just booked an F reward from MEL to JFK today without any issue. Chose dates that seemed available from the Etihad site for March next year, called up Velocity and booked them straight away. Maybe I just got lucky with the dates I picked. I'm a Velocity platinum, but I'm not...

I'm planning to do a trip to New York on EY in F next year in June for our 10th wedding anniversary, currently I'd have enough points to book it, but with these changes I won't sadly. Would I be best to book flights now at the current redemption level, then change the flight dates at a later...

Yeah, had a look at this yesterday when I called Velocity. Points wise it's the same amount going in either direction. It's a few more hours going via AUH, but it's available in F all the way. Availability on the Etihad flights seems better too and given that it's a long time until I can book...

So, it looks like the 'selected codeshare flights' is just for online bookings - calling them allows you to book any EY flight.

From the Velocity website, it says: You can redeem your Points for a Reward Seat or an Any Seat on Virgin Australia domestic and international flights. You can also redeem your Points for a Reward Seat on flights with Delta Air Lines, Singapore Airlines and SilkAir, and selected codeshare...

It will be my tenth wedding anniversary in a couple of years, so I was thinking of using some/all of the points I've accumulated to take my wife to New York for a week or two. I was wondering what the options available for this are and how easy/difficult it would be to book. From looking...

I've just got back from my first trip on South African Airways since the benefits for Velocity members were announced. I booked the trip a couple of months ago and was hoping that the benefits would be available before I travelled and luckily enough they were. Here's a few thoughts on my...

Thanks for the update :)

Hi, I was wondering when we might hear more about the South African Airways partnership and reciprocal benefits in particular? The last I saw was that we'd hear more in 'Early 2015'. I'm likely to be making a trip to South Africa at the end of May, so it would be great to use my Velocity...
