    Delta operated by Virgin Australia MEL LAX

    I believe Delta (if your ticket was booked directly with DL) uses Travelport as the GDS, so your booking should be available for viewing at www.viewtrip.com. If booked via a travel agent, this may not be the case. If you can view the booking on Viewtrip, you should be able to see the VA PNR -...

    Macquarie based card glitch

    Has anyone else already with the Hilton Macquarie Plat card just received an email from Macquarie saying that "Your Hilton HHonors Macquarie Platinum Card application has been approved"? I haven't applied for a card since my original successful application back in August 2016, but didn't get...

    Hilton Honors Macquarie Platinum Card

    Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card Just went through the letter and financial table. No explicit mention of fee free for life, but as has been pointed out, the Annual Primary Cardholder Fee and Annual Additional Cardholder Fee are set to $0 in the financial table, suggesting it will...

    Hilton Honors Macquarie Platinum Card

    Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card Another data point. Applied last Monday, uploaded pay slips at the end of the web process. Received an email asking for pay slips Tuesday morning, which I ignored. Received an SMS Tuesday afternoon asking for pays slips, which I ignored. Tuesday...

    Which FF program to reedem points on

    It might be easier for members to assist if you could give us some idea of what you wanted to do with the points, e.g. business class flights to Europe, domestic flights only...

    Best sim card for visiting Australia

    There are many providers around, all of whom have plans which will probably be quite sufficient for your average visitor. Typically, each will have an unlimited domestic calls/SMS option plus 2GB to 5GB data for around $30-$40 for 30 days, and another option of around $10-$20 for 30 days with...

    German prepaid simcard for data and calls

    It's a little hard to advise, without knowing the scale of "lots", and whether you need more calls or data or both. However, I'll tell you what we have ourselves, being frequent visitors to Germany. The Mrs, who has friends and relatives there, needs more calls and texts, and hardly any data...

    Europcar complementary status + benefits overseas

    I originally applied for the complimentary status back in February this year, but heard nothing. After about 10 weeks, I sent them an email, and received a same day response advising that they'd upgraded my existing Privilege Club to Privilege Executive. Took about 2 weeks to get the new card...

    Which planes overnight in CBR

    Thanks all. Just need to weigh up the risk vs the more expensive Friday night flight. I need to be at Coorparoo by 1pm, so a 12 noon arrival in Brisbane would be the latest I could chance.

    Which planes overnight in CBR

    I'm looking to book a flight out of Canberra on a Saturday morning in August to Brisbane. The first VA departure to BNE is VA1211 at 0850, although there are several other VA departures earlier to MEL and SYD. There are only two VA arrivals before VA1211's departure, one from MEL and one from...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Many years ago, before the days of the web and Google (late 80s), I had a two week trip to Lille in France. CorpTA made all the bookings, and booked me into the Hotel de Lille. Flew into Paris, went to the train station and caught the train to Lille. Hopped into a cab at Lille Station, and...

    Multi City/Multi Carrier Online Booking Site recommendations

    I'm trying to book a fare for travel to SGN and KUL, ex CBR, CBR-VA-xMEL-MH-xKUL-MH-SGN SGN-MH-KUL KUL-MH-xMEL-VA-CBR and have found a perfectly good fare which allows this (MH fare ZBT3MAU) The MH site doesn't recognise CBR as a valid city, even though this fare is published for...

    1 PNR, 2 PAX: Is it possible to interline the bags of only 1 passenger?

    +1 We've done this before, as we regularly leave for Europe on the same flight, and then connect to different destinations (business/family reasons). Don't always have checked-in bags, but when we do we have had no problems doing so on both TG and SQ departures out of BNE. We generally open...

    A Passage to India

    Thanks for the TR. Brings back memories of my trip - the fog, the drive to Agra, the foreign currency "collector"... I documented my trip at Mostly *A in C: BNE-BKK-BLR-DEL-AGR-DEL-BLR-BKK-FRA-OSL-ARN-FRA-xBKK-xSYD-BNE - FlyerTalk Forums.

    British Airways One way flight Frankfurt to Paris

    Having done this a number of times (both flying and on the train), this is what I think of the various options: OP's original thought of buying two separate itineraries, connecting in LHR True, it saves money, but comes with a number of disadvantages. Connecting in LHR is not fun. If you use...

    Easy search for award availability

    I've used, with quite a bit of success, Award Nexus. Only ever used it for Star Alliance searches, but it apparently does most airlines. It's not a free service, although members of Flyertalk do get a complementary (albeit limited) account.

    Possible to change departure city/country on TG?

    So, just to confirm, you're hoping to re-ticket the TG LHE-BKK-SYD flight to DEL-BKK-SYD, and it is a J ticket. It would depend on the fare rules, but I would suspect that it will require cancelling the ticket, getting a credit (less any cancellation fees) for it, and re-issuing a new ticket...
