    Points Upgrade - Qatar codeshare booked through Virgin

    There may be a thread on this but I couldn't find it. I'm doing a mercy dash to Europe for a sick parent and I was wonderingIs it possible to use points to upgrade the flights (looks like a Qatar codeshare as the stopover is Doha). Also what are the odds of getting one? I've had very little...

    Status Extension to 2023 or 2024?

    I got dropped to Gold about 200 SCs short - which I usually easily rack up with a trip to Europe - but there wasn't a lot of good opportunity to do that last year :/

    Price discrepancy / location loading - what gives?

    It gets better - the return flight via Melb is over $330 cheaper as a 2 leg so just no showing for the MEL-SYD leg is actually incentivised... :/

    Price discrepancy / location loading - what gives?

    Price discrepancy / location loading - what gives?

    It's the same flight though. The only difference is an extra flight before it. If I take a seat I'd still be displacing a MEL passenger on the international as well as a SYD-MEL passenger and the airline makes less money.

    Price discrepancy / location loading - what gives?

    So I was just looking for flights to Denpasar from MEL and just thought instead of a flight via SYD I might go visit family then fly from there instead - then noticed that Virgin are charging for example on Oct 15th: MEL-DPS 5:35pm for $1198 MEL-SYD-DPS 1pm $854 But then when I check flights ex...

    Platinum upgrades on Choice and Elevate Fares - now to June 2022

    For the Plat upgrades - I have 1 set which expire Feb 10th for some reason (even though my review date is March 31st (and that should be Sept. now actually). I then have another set that expire April 1st :/ If I redeem the Feb 10th ones before the expiry does the travel also have to occur...

    Further Status Extension to 28 Feb 2023

    I got the email last year indicating I'll be extended to Sept 2022 but my review date in the app still says 31st Mar 2022 and I haven't received a new email about extending to Feb 2023 - do I need to call up the Plat line or just chill for a while? I guess the 280 SCs I've accrued are going to...

    Booking points redemption for another person

    Hey all, I'm wondering if you can still book flights for friends on point. I recall there used to be a check box to say you were booking for someone else - but I've gone through the points booking screen by screen and can't see it. Can you still do this? I'm traveling too but I can't get a...

    Must 'Any Class' Complimentary Upgrades be Flown by the End of May?

    Out of an abundance of caution I cancelled my trip to Sydney last weekend. The outbound would have been my 3rd flight, I was going to try again before May 30th but am I right in thinking that the upgrades also have to be used by May 30th?
