    Velocity points on NH booked via UA

    I’m booking a business class flight from CGK x/HND and ORD to GRR. The flights are on a combo of NH and UA flight numbers and will be booked via UA’s website. The UA booking allows me to enter my velocity number but I know that there is currently no earning of VFF on NH. Does anyone know if...

    Expert flyer - availability

    I've been looking at Expert Flyer trying to plan an SQ RTW award. I can't find any business availability anywhere. I've checked SQ's site which shows availability but Expert Flyer shows 0 seats for the same days. I've tried multiple routes like ORD - LAX or SFO months in the future just to...

    I'm still not travelling and want to make sure that my Hertz points don't expire. Does anyone know what Hertz is doing regarding points expiry? It seems that I have to rent a car to reset the expiry timer, is there an easier / cheaper way? Thanks

    Luggage AA to QF in Sydney

    I could only find old threads. I'm flying AA from LAX to SYD and need to book a separate ticket to BNE. Is AA able to check my luggage through to BNE on QF on a separate PNR? I just don't want to lug my bags on the bus to the domestic terminals if I don't have to. If I have to, my preference...

    SQ Earning with VA Status Perks

    I remember seeing somewhere where SQ will allow two FF numbers, or something like that. Anyway, I can’t find it on the forums. I am a VA Platinum and every year I earn a lot more SC’s than necessary. I’m looking for more flexibility to use different airlines (particularly NZ trans pacific...

    Late check out [from Hotels near] LAX [Dayrooms?]

    I normally get a day room at the Travelodge LAX which gives me an 8pm check out which is OK to make VA8 to BNE. Dinner at Denny's is a little ritual! it's fine value, but I'm not a huge fan of the Travelodge and wouldn't want to spend the night. My other option is the Four Points which works...

    Getting more points from DL bookings

    I see that most DL flights show a VA flight number. I assume that most of these are for ex Aus to your destination, but it got me wondering. I normally buy BNE to LAX on VA, I might book to a first known destination. From there I buy lots of domestic flights on DL which yield a lot of status...

    VA companion status

    Does anyone have experience gifting Gold or Platinum status to a spouse? Can I gift my wife Gold and then upgrade her to platinum in a couple of months? Or is it just a one time upgrade (per year)? We're on a family trip and lounge access would be nice for the trip home, but I won't qualify...

    Delta Trans Pac Economy

    I've always had good experiences with DL. What are your experiences with them LAX-SYD in economy as a VA Plat? I'm taking my family on the next trip and would like to make it a nice experience for them. Do DL offer better access to bulkhead rows and does the 50% discount on economy plus still...

    Can anyone offer a real contact to resolve some serious behaviour problems that my wife and kids had to deal with from Tiger staff members? There is no need to go into specifics of the incident. It was obviously a stressful time in Sydney this week, but there is no excuse for this type of...

    DL or VA TransPac Economy

    Hi, I am a VA Platinum and fly economy. I had the thought that I might try DL's Space Plus (or whatever they call it) to LAX. I can't seem to find any posts about how the upgrade compares to VA's econ. Does anyone have any experience? Thanks

    Rydges Dumping Platinum Benefits

    I just paid for dinner at a Rydges and was told that yesterday some major "crazy" changes were announced to staff. She suggested that the platinum discount was being discontinued. With no upgrades, no international reward redemption (ok, a little bit but not much), really no recognition at...
