I had an interesting one over the weekend. Arrived from Malaysia on AirAsia into Changi T4. We had checked in online and had mobile boarding passes for QF to Australia. The guy at the T4-T1 transfer bus said we had to get a paper boarding pass at the Transfer Desk C. At Transfer Desk C the...

hi all Every 6 months or so, my Amex Platinum Account gets some kind of issue or blocked from Amex Travel Online meaning I can’t access FH&R or IAP online. Typically I call to get it fixed and they say just call and we can help with the booking but I have no interest in that as it’s so...

Hi all Quick question as I couldn’t find it on Qantas.com - I’m travelling with family SYD-LHR and am the only one with status. Do the Classic Upgrade Reward requests get processed as a group per my status or each pax individually? I’ve had 100% upgrade success in recent years, but I travel...

I thought I‘d post some meals and menus from my recent trip in SQ First and Suites December 2023 / Januarary 2024 SQ208 MEL-SIN B777 First SQ221 SYD-SIN A380 Suites Let’s start with MEL SQ SilverKris First Lounge Well, nothing special here. I actually headed up to the Priority Pass former...

Hi all Does anyone have any experience flying an AC code on Air Canada Rouge and earning VA points and status credits. Air Canada has the brands Air Canada Jazz and Air Canada Rouge and helpfully Velocity T&Cs mention this in the exclusions: Of course Air Canada connection doesn’t appear to...

Hi all Now this isn’t the best of AMEX Platinum Charge referral offers out there, but I thought some people may have a need for a card and cannot wait for a better offer - so here it is. If you can wait, I recommend you do until the points are at least over 200,000 bonus. You get 150,000 bonus...

I was looking to use my IHG Ambassador free weekend night certificate at Sydney Intercontinental and noticed that for every weekend it is blocked out for a Friday night. Rooms are available, just not for checkin on a Friday using the free weekend night certificate - i.e. you can only use it to...

Hi all Does anyone have any understanding and experiences of international classic upgrade award priority when there are multiple family members with different status on a booking? For example: i’m WP and my mum is PS, how will our upgrade request be prioritised - according to my WP or her PS...

Hi all A couple of weeks back I had a quick trip to Singapore flying SQ First from Sydney on the way over. So I took some pics for a very short SQ trip report. Flight: SQ212 07:55am Cost: 85,000 Krisflyer miles and $110 about a month out from departure. Checkin was very quick in the SQ F...

Hi friends Origin is offering $100 bill credit for new connections using the referral link here: Origin Energy You would receive a $100 credit on your first bill and so would I. It also appears to stack with other offers attached to plans, for example there’s currently a plan that offers...

I noticed the article below on Loyalty Lobby regarding changing fare classes on Alaska Airlines. On 23 Feb, Alaska Airlines will change First Class fare classes from F to J, P to D etc. which will remove the ability to earn F class status credits on domestic routes when it enters the OneWorld...

But the boarding pass would say economy... FYI - Qantas no longer honours the Oneworld rules, you must be travelling in Business on your "next onward flight" or some kind of language similar

Hi all My employer has a policy that does not permit me to accrue status credits or points for flights. Is there a way to get my WP number on the booking so I get priority seat selection and lounge access but not actually accrue any points or status credits in the process? Cheers m

Our Treasurer would describe me as a leaner, I view this forum often, usually logged out and contribute little. So to give back I’ll do a trip report of my China trip that starts today (Sat 4 July). The trip is fairly busy – driven by this forum’s frequentflyer antics – and includes a far flung...

Hi all. I have a classic domestic U class award today. Can someone advise on my likely ability to change to an earlier flight (that mum is on) with J but not U seats available, when i arrive at the airport. I know i cant do it over the phone without U class - just wondering the...

Hi guys I have made an AAdvantage booking that obviously has my AA frequent flyer number in it. How can I have my QF WP number added so I can choose better seats? I called AA twice and both times they've said they did it, but the QF MMB still shows the AA number and the seat selection reflects...

Hi everyone Hilton coughet is overbooked later this week and is asking me to move, so I’m after some advice please. They’re asking me to move to the Moevenpick Resort and Spa nearby. It looks as though I will have internet and breakfast included, so I’d be losing Executive Lounge access and one...

Hi all Quick question. The utterly unhelpful VA staff that are handling Velocity calls lately (ie. Platinum = answered quick not expert staff), after needing to be convinced that Etihad flew BNE-SIN and that J award availability existed (KVS) said I had to be charged an extra 13,800 points for...

Just checked expertflyer for some of my flights. Seat maps are now available. m EDIT: Seems to be accurate for J class, Y looks unusual, seems that blocked seats appear as allocated.

Hi Guys Does anyone know of a workaround to this issue. Whenever booking an A330 JQ domestic tag flight that connects to an international flight, when selecting "business class" it always shows the domestic connection in Y even though it has a J cabin. I would normally NEVER fly JQ but to DPS...
