Hi brainstrust, I am in the very early planning stages of hopefully a month skiing with the family in Canada in January 2025. Yes it's looking a long way ahead! But I need to have everything lined up to make it happen. There generally appears to be plenty of availability for 4 x economy reward...

Got to the airport for our 5pm service travelling home from SYD-MEL today…flight is cancelled and rescheduled out on a flight at 6:30am tomorrow morning, Tuesday. Travelling with wife and 2yo and 4yo. 1.5hrs drive from Northern Beaches where we were staying with family for the weekend. Currently...

I understand Velocity opens award bookings on Virgin metal at T-330 days. But what time (Melbourne time) do they actually release them for booking at T-330? I am booking for 4 people, in the school holidays for next September, so want to be right on it! Did a search but couldn't find it.

Anyone done VOA at Jakarta recently with Australian Passport? I have been googling and trying to get clarity on this as it appears it might not be possible? But majority of websites are Bali focussed, and the Indonesian consulate/embassy websites appear to have zero info or I am just cough at...

I thought I would just give my experience from booking a recent trip to Europe using Velocity points to help out others in future. Especially with all the questions people have with regard to booking direct with VA points or transferring points to SQ. I was booking this trip for my wife and I...

When searching for SQ flights online with Velocity it only ever shows VA codeshare flight numbers, never actual SQ flight numbers. A question...when calling should velocity be able to access seats shown as available as Saver seats on SQ's website?

Bugger... Award Tickets on Star Alliance airlines Does remove the quirk where a Star Alliance redemption could be cheaper than an SQ redemption. I was planning to use this for Europe at only 95,000 each way in business class (128,250 Virgin points). But this will now go up to 105,000 each way...

So I have 68,000 IHG points sitting there. Not travelling much these days so have let my Ambassador status lapse and am IHG Platinum (so pretty much nothing!). Have my second wedding anniversary coming up in late September so thought a night in Sydney would be good (will already be up there for...

Is there any easy way to view Virgin T class availability? This is what the ANZ travel adventures card free flight has to book in to and sick of wasting my time on the phone.

Just looking at making a redemption for 2 people for MEL-SIN-CMB in business class, cost = 246,500 points plus AUD$1720! That is insane! $860 per person. Especially when a cash economy fare can be bought for approx $750 return.

There is the thread on Business class but I have a question about economy. I have a booking on the 19:55 Virgin service from Melbourne to Darwin on a Wednesday night. Do they supply free alcohol on this service? I am pretty sure they do on the Perth sectors whatever the time and they are shorter...

Did a search and couldn't find any other information on this. I just stumbled on this website AwardHacker which provides the required points for various routes in a number of FFP's. At first look it seems like a great tool and really does show how poor the QFF burn rates are! I have no...

Have a referral for deliveroo, service worked pretty well in the inner North of Melbourne! https://roo.it/saml9062 $10 for you $10 for me! Thanks heaps!

I am trying to book a flight for 2 people in business class from BKK-NGO-CTS on Japan Airlines. It is showing availability on a BA search, it is also showing as available on a JL search (though they might show better availability for their own members), but when I call Qantas are seeing nothing...

Okay, I have started looking at some options for our end of year trip (should have probably jumped on it earlier) and looking at the best value options with the mishmash of points I now have left over after spending a heap last year. Would be happy to get away with spending around $1000-$1500...

So there have been a few of these deals around for property purchases but this seems to be at the next level big time! https://apartments.lkproperty.com.au/capitol-grand-melb-v2/ 1 and 2 bed - 1 million points 3 bed - 2 million points

Using the great advice in the OneWorld Award Thread I was able to book 2 x 280k J tickets for my wife and I for our honeymoon. The first flight was booked 12 months out online and then I called to add more flights as they became available. I won't go through the whole booking process here as it...

So here who would have dropped 25 million points in one day! or 899 reward seats over the life of the programme! https://www.facebook.com/virginaustralia/?fref=ts

So I couldn't find any recent threads on getting a Brazil Visa so have started a new one with the questions below looking for peoples recent experience. Due to us getting married in September and my wife changing her surname to mine we have been waiting on the marriage certificate for way too...

If anyone is thinking of signing up for DropBox which is a free cloud based storage solution which has a really easy to use interface and is compatible with all mobile devices and desktops would massively appreciate using my link below which gives me an extra 500Mb of free storage for each...
