    Getting UA notifications for sales (Aust to the US)

    OK, so a noob question here with regards to UA. I'm tentatively planning on heading back to the US in April 2024, to stay on a ranch in Cody, Wyoming - seems United are the only ones who fly to COD (at least as far as I've been able to find), and of course fares are way more expensive than the...

    Is COVID app check-in still required at VA lounges?

    I had a look on the VA website but couldn't find anything referring to this, so please forgive me if I've missed it - I'll be flying HBA-MEL-CBR later this week, and the return trip a week later, and will be using the CBR and MEL lounges. I haven't flown since August last year, and whilst I had...

    SYD-CBR Link flight - booked J (D fare class) but Flex SCs?

    I'm hoping someone can advise re the SC situation for this flight, and what SCs they have received. Mr Jurahn flew HBA-SYD then SYD-CBR on Monday, latter flight being on Link. Under the current bonus SC promo, he received 80 SCs for the first flight, but 50 SCs for the second. All flights...

    Issues linking QFF account with Uber account

    I'm hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. I have a (not very often used) QFF account and Uber account, will be using both during an upcoming trip and found I can link them to earn QFF points for airport trips. Tried via the relevant page on the Qantas website...

    Anyone had any luck with having 4 week bonus offer extended?

    I recently received a 4 week $50 spend for 10,000 bonus points. Did the first two weeks, unable to get to Coles during the week for Week 3 due to work (nearest Coles is a 40km+ round trip, so have to plan shopping trips accordingly in that area when doing a bonus offer) so had planned to go on...

    Online check-in - extra legroom seat

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I haven't flown QF for a very long time! Flying HBA-CBR next week and have selected an extra legroom seat on the 717 - am I able to do online checki n? Some of the information I've looked at on the Qantas website indicates I'm eligible to check in online...

    Glitch when upgrading with points (domestic)?

    Just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this glitch recently? I booked some flights HBA- MEL-CBR return during the double SC promo in late November, received my e-ticket, then decided to upgrade return legs to J so I could get lounge access and extra baggage allowance for the return...

    Booked Business Class on all Y flight, got Economy SCs

    Currently visiting my Dad in NSW - booked flights HBA-MEL-CBR return on a great full J sale fare, worked out cheaper than Freedom fares and giving me a higher SC earn in a attempt to claw my way back to Gold! (recently dropped back to Silver :(. ) . Also meant I’d still get lounge access...

    Can't log into the new Flybuys app

    Received an email promoting the new app, so thought I'd give it a try, but the damn thing won't let me log in! Have tried downloading it on iPhone and iPad (which both have the required version of IOS), but on entering the password, I get a message saying "Incorrect details. The details...

    Private airport transfers - Melbourne Airport

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a car service for transfers from MEL to Crown Promenade in Southbank (and return) - any companies you've either used recently or are currently using? Or alternatively, any to avoid? Only two people with regular amount of luggage, so a standard car is...

    How long for Velocity points to post from Thrifty?

    I rented a car from Thrifty Canberra Airport last year, and the Velocity points were in my account two days after I'd returned the car, and previous rentals have been similar time frames. Did the same thing this year, returned the car to CBR a week ago but no points yet. Just wondered...

    Just had an interesting email from Velocity pop into - a few days ago, I reached the required SCs to maintain Gold again this year, although my review date isn't until March, so was quite surprised to receive the following email: Climb higher than ever beforeCongratulations, you have...

    Fed up with Flybuys [issues rectified]

    Sorry, bit of a rant following … Have been a Flybuys member - and Coles shopper - for years, but if it weren’t for the VA SC earn through the program, I'd cut up both cards and dump the scheme altogether. I’ve been trying to find out for over 18 months why I don’t receive any Coles-related FB...

    LAX - VA check-in opening time T2?

    Is anyone able to advise the current opening time for VA check-in at T2 LAX? This information used to be on their website (on the LAX Airport Guide page) but now it just mentions that check-in is at T2 and can't seem to find an opening time anywhere on that page. Used to be 2.30/3.30 pm...

    Direct flights between PER and CBR during Parliamentary sitting weeks

    Just noticed this today on the VA Facebook page - https://www.canberraairport.com.au/2017/04/virgin-australia-introduces-flights-to-perth/ Virgin Australia has announced plans to fly twice-weekly between Canberra and Perth during Parliamentary sitting weeks to cater for increased demand between...

    Transfer points to Velocity under current promo or maybe gift cards?

    Being a HH newbie, I thought I'd ask the collective wisdom of the AFFers on this forum for their advice on what to do with a relatively small amount of points. I don't normally stay at Hilton group properties (especially domestically as they're usually too expensive) but took advantage of HH...

    Incorrect SCs posted for domestic J sector on international itinerary?

    I'm in the US at the moment and was checking to see whether any of my flights had posted yet. I flew PER-SYD on 13th March (the only flight posted so far) but have only received 80 SCs, which was the pre-31 January 2017 earn rate. According to the SC earn table, domestic flights in Discount...

    Travelling to US on renewed passport - can I use ekiosks at LAX?

    Have been to the US several times before (most recently two years ago) and will be travelling on VA1 next week on a recently renewed passport. Is it still the case that I can't use the kiosks at LAX on arrival as I haven't travelled there before on that passport? Just thought I'd check in case...

    Earn up to double Velocity Points on VA and Delta direct flights to LAX

    Came across this on the Velocity Facebook page - hadn't seen a thread about it here, nor received an email from Velocity (which is an ongoing saga, but that's another story), so thought I'd post it here in case anyone else hasn't seen this promotion. Doesn't appear to apply to existing bookings...
