    Changing a reward flight date after taking the first flight

    I couldn't find the answer to this and SQ website seems ambigious however can i book a return trip and then after taking the first flight still move the date of the return leg? Or can i only do that before i start the journey? This is a SQ redemption on SQ.

    Idea for Platinum comp upgrades

    Just thinking about this today. Since you can now upgrade from saver booking to business, what do you think of the idea of being able to upgrade using platinum comp upgrades for double the amount (than currently for a flexi fare) from a saver fare? Seems like a win win to me.

    Hobart baggage slow and rough handling

    Is it just me or does it seem to take quite a bit of time for the luggage to come out? Then when it comes out it priority luggage is ignored and never first then quite a few items I've seen come out broken. Is this just me or is this typical of this airport?

    Online check in - what seats become available?

    I've never done an online check in before... I guess I'm old fashioned however do all the seats become available to anyone or are some still blocked? Just wondering if it's worth my effort. Any difference or say plat compared to gold compared to statusless person?

    Elite only campaigns

    Does such things exist on a regular basis? Seems like it would be great if you could let me know if i`ve missed out on anything or even have a separate section in your website for elite benefits after an elite member logs in so we can see all those great campaigns just for us.

    Any plans to becoming an airline partner of any big hotel group other than Hilton?

    It would be nice if I could transfer my SPG (my personal preference) and Marriott points into my Velocity account, any chance of this becoming reality any time soon? There has to be a reason why both you and QF are hooked up with Hilton and not Starwood.... do Starwood charge too much?
