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...

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...

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...

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?

Hey folks - I've been out of the game for a while but I'm going to hit Plat again early next year (if not before). I've booked some flights with Singapore Air MEL-SIN-NRT return for my partner and I in March and I have about half a Velocity million points I want to start burning before they get...

I was wondering if anyone had success asking for an exception if you're 1 sector short (with 2 booked sectors coming up within 2 weeks)? I've over in Bali and with business flights, pooling and double SCs I've got to over 700SCs but I'm 1 sector short. It would be great to have the SG benefits...

Heya, Wondering if I can book NZ domestics on ANZ via Velocity and if I'll earn SCs? Also any discount codes floating around?

Looks like I screwed up turning off pooling from my partners account (dodgy free WiFi :/) Has anyone had any success reversing the pooling of SCs once they've already been allocated/pooled? If so, who needs to call up the person with pooling turned on or the recipient of the pooling? Cheers

Hey all, Pretty sure I know the answer to this one but I'm flying Thai Air Economy to BKK then an Eitihad biz class flight about 76 hours later onwards to Abu Dhabi. Is there any lounge I (+1 guest) can blag my way into at Mel? I'm guessing that NZ will not let me in (Velocity WP) for a...

I've booked business class flights direct with Etihad vie their website BKK-LHR ATH-MEL a few weeks back. After the booking I logged into the Chauffeur booking page to chack which cities were available. As expected Athens was not available (I've flown from there before) but the other 3 were...

Hey all, I'm just looking at booking a return flight to LST with the promo code. The outgoing is $90.85 and the return is $86.72 but the total is $181.70, I would expect it to be $177.57. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Hey all... I've been having a look around and as far as I can see MEL-LST is generally the cheapest fare for clocking up sectors, yea? It looks like I'll hit 805 SCs shortly but come up short 2 sectors for requal unless I hit a super cheap flight but I only have the next 2 weekends and the...

Hey all, My requal date is June 12th and I currently have 45 SCs and have 520 SCs of travel booked (some domestic VA but mostly Etihad J) in the next 8-9 weeks. I'm traveling with my partner who currently has point pooling turned on. She currently has 10 SCs. I'm trying to figure out the...

Hey guys, I've booked a King Hilton Deluxe at the Millennium in BKK and as usual been offered a "Custom Upgrade" - the bottom run option being $0 for a King Deluxe Plus. My question is; if I availa of this does that preclude being upgraded to something better at check-in? Also, as a (newly...

Hey guys, I'm headed to London for a few days in May and I'm looking at Points+Pay options as I'm a bit low on points at the moment. I'm currently Gold at the moment but I've applied for Diamond offer via Velocity so that should come through soon (been waiting or the email 6 weeks now :/) The...

Just a quick check, do status credits from partner flights pool? Taking my partner to Europe on EY and wanted to know for sure :)

Hey guys, I've found some decent fares to Europe ex Asia returning to AU on ITAMatrix but I'm struggling to fine a way to book them, any suggestions? The airline website doesn't seem to carry the fares :/

I've noticed there is price fluctuations (hundreds of dollars) on the flights I'm looking at BKK/MNL-LHR return and I wondered if there's a rhythm to it? Is there a better time of the week or month or even day to buy?

A friend of mine has been denied SCs/Points earn on DL flights he took US<->UK because they were a VS codeshare, is this right? They're both partners but if you catch a flight that's a codeshare you fall into a black hole? Sounds dodge... advice? He specifically asked the TA to verify the...
