    Velocity Redemption not ticketed with United Airlines

    did you have any tag on internal USA flights? I'm seeing similar availability but need the additional domestic leg to my final destination, and don't want to buy the VA points (on sale) until I can get confirmation.

    Buying Velocity points

    did you add an internal USA domestic leg? I can't get it to pull up with an online search. Out of the country but may have to use skype to call in and try.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    is everyone still redeeming for QF points? I got the 10x for $150+, but have been seeing it actually at around 16x. Contemplating switching it to $10 off for a big shop tomorrow - along with discounted GCs I calculate this at about 15% off which is outstanding! (FWIW we're stocking a...

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    need to spend 12k points tonight before they expire. Any suggestions on best bang for (admittedly low) buck? Does a family transfer keep the points active? I could transfer some over from flybuys to the wife, and then into my account?

    Coles gift card offers

    I've been using random people to buy coles and woolies GCs at 7% off for cash which i'm ok with - however i understand employees can access 10% off - is that correct? I'm sourcing a couple of thousand dollars a week of products from the supermarkets for my side biz as their pricing is alot...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates.

    Was on QF8 arriving this morning. Mid slide was out of action so they cordoned off ~150 seats (about 10 rows either side of the toilets). Also some muck up with the baggage. Y screens are still fussy re touchscreen. Interestingly they were actively offering paid upgrades $550 to Y+ and $1050 to J.

    The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

    i dislike the foot traffic in the bar with the J kitchen in the rear, as well as the loos. When it's quiet it's good though! If you are having a good chat you can also always ask for 2 glasses of your good stuff to share to get around any silly technicalities.

    Best seats economy A380?

    travelling with the wife, infant and a 2yo on QF7. would you go row 51 altogether, or try for 80A/K and infant + 1 in row 81? From what i understand the armrest between 80A/B or 80J/K doesn't come up so for the 2yo's sleep he's a bit out of luck either way? (in terms of being able to lay...

    Qantas excess baggage USA

    Makes sense! do you know if travelling biz/first whether the excess bags can be 32kg instead of 23kg by any chance?

    Qantas excess baggage USA

    not booked yet- but is one of the considerations for which airline to fly as AA and UA both seem to be usd200/bag. and yeah we managed with 10 bags/boxes coming into Syd years ago but not sure how we’ll go over that way. Cheaper than auspost though!

    The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

    Been to Dubai before? What’s the timing of the stopover (morning arvo etc)? That’s probably long enough for a first time visitor to check off a few of the sites and get some vitamin d etc. 4 hours between flights in the F lounge is probably more like 2 after transit and then boarding, but...

    The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

    The novelty factor is pretty high with the shower and bar. 777 less seats so arguably more attentive service, although I’ve never been in a full a380 cabin. What’s your routing? Could you do both?
