I'm looking at a trip to Islay next year with a couple of mates. If I search for 'Islay' in the forum, there are pages of hits. But, as best I could tell, none relate to anyone who has been. Obviously whisky is a big part of why we're going, but looking for tips, recommendations on where to...

Mrs G and I are travelling to India in January for a wedding. I've been to India before, but always for work and always had local currency sorted for me. The wedding is in a rural area and we've been told that we will need INR if we travel outside the hotel area. We're also then going to do...

I booked and paid for Economy X seats for myself and my kids for my flight from CBR to BNE as I am over 2m tall. I had pre-selected 3A, 3B and 3C. At checkin we were handed boarding passes for 29D, 29E and 29F. I didn't realise until we went thru security. I asked at the Lounge for the...

I have an upcoming SQ booking BNE-xSIN-MUC followed by MUC-SIN then a week later SIN-BNE. I've read the T&Cs and I'm confused as to whether I'm entitled to the vouchers. I suspect not, but was hoping the brains trust would be able to help me out.

I have an upcoming flight with me and the Gremlin family. We are flying Air Asia on a domestic flight within Malaysia (KUL to LGK). I have booked the flights using Firstname Lastname. Our passports show Firstname Middlename Lastname. Eg, flight is booked for Mr Firstname Gremlin, passport...

So it turns out that Master Gremlin is waaaaay more talented at athletics than his old man. I'm looking at getting him and I to a track meet interstate early next year. I'm hoping to do it as a day trip and HLO. Previous meets he's been away for several days and checked in his track spikes in...

I'm interested if others consider this series of events reasonable... So I had a day trip BNE to SYD on Thursday. I tried to do mobile check in on Wed only to get an error saying that I needed to check in at the airport. Didn't think anything of it. Went to the BNE Lounge first thing...

So I'm travelling in a couple of weeks on a domestic flight with an overseas airline in a country that, shall we say, has significantly less consumer protection and significantly less civil liberties than Australia. I had to amend my booking the other day and there was a (legitimate) fee that I...

I'm flying J on VA into LAX in March arriving at 0630. I will have a bag to check. I couldn't get a connecting flight to MEM with DL or VX that suited, so I subsequently booked cheap one-way Y ticket on an AA flight departing at 1110 via DFW. Flights are not on the one ticket. I've received...

Last year it took just short of a month after my expiry date to receive my replacement card. Three weeks after the expiry I left to travel overseas with only an expired Platinum card. I contacted VFF and they arranged a letter to show partner airlines to allow lounge access. A colleague was...

I'm flying tomorrow and have checked in online. I'm doing a day trip and have checked in for both flights. The outbound BP is fine but whilst the return BP is showing the correct flight number, it's showing an incorrect date and time. It's showing 8:14 yesterday as my boarding time with a...

I'm travelling with the family later in the year BNE-HKG-FCO and return with CX. Master Gremlin (aged 8) has a range of allergies including all dairy, fish, shellfish, soy, legumes, tomato, potato, eggplant, chili and capsicum. His dairy reaction is the most severe so we're thinking of...

So was travelling on DJ on the weekend from CBR to BNE with Mrs Gremlin and the two little Gremlins. We were seated in 3A thru 3D on a 738. Bloke sits in 3F and about two-thirds of the way down the runway for take off proceeds to pull out his cigarette lighter and sets fire to the rim of his...

A colleague and I are both departing HKG within 20mins of each other going in opposite directions. Both DJ WP. He's traveling VS and I'm traveling SQ. The Velocity website states we're each entitled to lounge access with our respective carriers for ourselves and one guest upon presentation of...

I'm looking at a multicity itinerary that is primarily SQ but will have 2 legs that are MI. I can book just the multicity SQ component online and it books into W booking class (Economy Flexi Saver) for ~$1,500pp. I could separately book the MI legs online into W booking class (Economy Flexi...

I'm sure that something similar has been addressed before, but it escapes my somewhat poor mastery of the Search function... I'm catching the 6am BNE-MEL in a few days time with DJ for a day's worth of meetings in Melbourne. That evening I'm flying MEL-PER-JNB in J booked with QF (the PER-JNB...

I was on DJ973 this evening from SYD to BNE which was scheduled as a 1800 departure. Traveling in J. When I arrived at the airport the screens were showing a 10 min delay and we ended up pushing back at 1815. I was expecting a meal, but it turns out it was only a snack service. I don't know...

I'm flying BNE-SYD at sparrows tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night I'm on a separate PNR traveling SYD-MEL. I'll have a small bag with carry on that contains everything I need for my day in Sydney. I also have a larger bag which I require for Melbourne which will need to be checked. What are my...

I'm due to accrue 1,500 Status Credits on my rolling calendar year later this month and thought Mrs Gremlin would be in line to benefit from Partner Gold status. From 777's experience in this thread...

I booked a Flexible fare for SYD-BNE the other day. I took advantage of a PE Taster upgrade. My Velocity Account shows the trip as "Not for Earn".Whilst I wouldn't expect to get points as if it were a paid PE flight, I'm surprised I don't get the points for the originally booked Flexible fare...
