    A $5000 mistake. :(

    hi all, just thought I'd provide an update on my original issue. I contacted @madrooster and using his travel agent magic, he was able to get SQ and VA to talk to each other and we got the name fixed. They couldn't change the original booking, so a replacement reward booking was made for my...

    Google is more up to date on delays than Qantas App/Airport Displays

    A similar example happened to me: Last year on holiday i get a text from the 28degrees mastercard flight delay service, at 4am saying "sorry that your flight is delayed, here's the details for your free lounge passes". I check the JQ website and airport websites - no delay mentioned. But i can...

I was discussing cancelling and she reminded me of some of the benefits then said amex can offer 20k points to keep it. I said yes. I didn't have to actually cancel and reinstate. Thats on a platinum charge...

    A $5000 mistake. :(

    Thank you everyone for your responses. What a great community! To answer some questions: -Yes it's two PNRs. one correct and one incorrect. -My son has two middle names, one is in the middle name field and one is in the surname field instead of both being in the middle name field. - I assume a...

    A $5000 mistake. :(

    thanks RooFlyer - yep I've tried the HUCA thing 4 times this week to no avail with Virgin and twice with Singapore (they seem to be more understanding but ultimately cant/wont help). I've also emailed Virgin but haven't heard back (except the auto reply). I will keep trying but I'm losing hope.

    A $5000 mistake. :(

    Last year I was miraculously able to book 4 J seats (me, wife, 2 kids) on SQ to Europe using velocity points. Happy days. This week I realise one of the middle names of my son is where his surname should be. ie his name is missing his surname, thus its wrong on the booking! I called Virgin -...

    Adding a child to a KF redemption booking / book for a child standalone?

    that's correct. you have to ring them and book it that way unfortunately, but hey while you're on the phone with them, you can then get them to link the bookings.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    The ff gods have shined on me: 2 more reward j seats have become available on the same flight, so I booked them last night. Now all 3 of us are off to tokyo in J on reward seats. 3 reward seats in a cabin of 20. I'm impressed.

    Tokyo Haneda slot - how will Virgin Operate it?

    I just booked one J award seat on this new route. I was hoping for 3 J award seats, but i fully accept/understand why they don't release that many J award seats per flight. So now i sit in blind hope that they'll release 2 more j award seats on my particular flight even though it would make no...

    Bankwest Qantas World MC 90k bonus, $6k spend in 3 months, $135 first year annual fee, exp 31 August 2019

    120k. I currently only have 1 other cc (the anz travel rewards one) and low expenses but obviously something i typed in it didnt like. My fault really for not doing a bunch of test runs with fake names to make sure my numbers would be appropriate.
