Yes I am, and the sign was clear, and it has been my previous experience until this point. Accordingly I was challenged in understanding his instance that the sign was wrong.

Oops should read experience, not expensive…..

I just had an interesting experience transferring from an international flight to a domestic flight at Sydney Airport. If my memory, and expensive serves me correctly I’m entitled to priority check-in,….When travelling on a Qantas domestic flight, Qantas Club members have access to priority...

I took the 1000 points. The 30 status credits aren’t going to help my status with QANTAS much. I guess flying a bit more might help. Thanks QANTAS for the extra points.

Did you end up getting any clarity on this question.?I too have an internal UA flight, UA told me today reciprocal status benefits with VA only apply to a VA ticketed flights. this doesn’t make sense, as when i fly SK, or with the old Delta alliance they recognise the relevant benefits. If...

Hello, i’ve just booked an internal US flight using Qantas Classic reward seats, accordingly it’s an AA flight. When booking an AU Classic Reward seat selection, bags etc are included, however I can’t see any of this on the QANTAS confirmation for the AA flight. My question to the group...

Whilst I don’t object to kids being in lounges, it would be nice to see a kids area, where kids are able to play and run around, whilst parents ignore any disruptive behaviour, and the rest of us can relax and work. Over recent weeks each time I’ve been in the VA lounge, there have been many...

Yes, it's a great experience. When we did it a few years back (towing a camper trailer) the road was great from Tanamai Road house to the WA border, but slow going from there - although this can vary depending on time of year. Just be well prepared there' s not much out there, but the...

I travel with my other half frequently, and unless flying above economy will always choose A and C - if I can choose my seat there is no way I will select a middle - I have as much right as the next person not to be stuck in the middle - and the airlines have no right to move me because I am...

Absolutely. Regardless of how you got there, through an upgrade or full fare payment - you still shelled out a fair amount of cash - either through credit card spending, loyalty, or direct payment and therefore service should be the same. I even go further to argue that even the lowest paying...

We fly to the states a couple of times per year, and have been using Economy X over PE with points (Gold) - makes the journey much more tolerable and less expensive. Always go for the bulkhead though as there's much more room there (if you can tolerate the dividers on port and starboard sides)!

Thanks for you feedback !

Hi I am proposing to be flying Premium with Delta internally in the US. As they are a partner airline with Virgin, I am trying to establish if baggage allowances for Velocity Gold members applies to bookings on Delta. Although the Virgin site states that Velocity Gold members get the same...

yep, I'm also looking at building status with Qantas. Not only is lounge access a problem, Qantas now offer better status credits than VA!

you use the Air NZ lounge in Auckland, it's not too bad!

Yes, just found out. Very disappointing, my concern is what other lounges will follow. Here I was thinking the fall from Platinum to Gold wasn't so bad.....

Having travelled extensively, I have almost always used my NAB CC Platinum insurance, although to date have not needed to claim - with the exception some years back of lost (expensive) glasses which was promptly paid . Generally when compared to normal TI policies it is just as comprehensive...

Yes, I do wonder about some VA staff, flying J from Perth the check-in guy didn't bother to put priority tags on my luggage, I reminded him as the luggage went down the belt, he simply shrugged his shoulders and told me it will get there. Of course it did - but mine were the last off (he did...

Hi, I also hire cars frequently and am constantly amazed at the amount of undocumented damage. Recently at Sydney Airport I picked up a vehicle that had what was in my opinion insufficiently documented damage, and proceeded to amend the contract. Upon exit the Hertz rep told me that I could...
