OK, So I can report from personal experience now. No issues checking in the bag at the airport (although I played it safe and made sure the bag weight was under 15kg) , as VA Gold was able to use the Business Class check-in without issues (this was at Vienna Airport). Things were looking...

Hi Everyone, Just wondering if any VA Velocity status holders have direct experience flying Etihad with one of these saver / sale promotion fares? specifically those that come with "no baggage" included. I've been able to find plenty of references to Etihad Guest status holders being allowed to...

Just arrived at the pier restaurant with +1 Quick bite here before heading to over to the wing to meet everyone. Navy shirt, black jeans. +1 in black top with silver flower on it.

That's annyoying. I wonder if we'd be allowed into Club Bauhinia in Terminal 1. I've caught the train to the far end of Terminal 1 and there didn't appear to be a train back - I had to walk. The maps aren't very clear about this either. I don't suppose we've got anyone flying out of the...

Hi jhchui, it just so happens I will also be travelling on VA86 to MEL on 10th June. I currently hold VA WP and will be travelling with my partner who holds VA SG. So we can guest you into either of the Honk Kong Airlines VIP Lounges. (not visited them before). We "Accidentally" double booked...

I got 9 of the 10 sectors booked exactly as I wanted or the requested flights. There was some "gymnastics" on my part as I was doing my best to avoid EK operated B777s (2-3-2 in business) as well as QF operated A380s (lack of aisle access for windows seat and flappy end of seat.) Just the...

I had such high hopes before applying for the Amex Explorer card. I know some of this is on me for not doing my research thoroughly enough, but after having read so many positive reviews of the Amex travel team (mostly UK & USA reviews who enjoy 7 day / 24 hour coverage). Part of the reason for...

This is indeed correct, EK marketed and Operated DXB-CAI nets no SCs whereas QF marketed and EK operated DXB-CAI in Flexible Business (C & J class, the fare I mention in my original post falls into the C class fare bucket) nets 110SC without any bonus. I probably should also clarify, the rules...

For those traveling further afield. I'd been holding out for an SC offer with positioning flights into CAI. Have been at a bit of a loose end since the QR regional kerfuffle. Fares Ex-CAI have been mentioned in a few posts. The difficult part being to get as many sectors as possible on QF...

Just advising I am in the same boat as many other posters Diamond --> Bronze. Not going to hold my breath on a review. I did try to credit a TG flight in June (BKK-CMB) but never got the points. Not sure if I want to attempt a missing miles claim.

Posting my referral link. When I placed my application (and got approved) I picked a recent post that appeared not to have been used yet. So in the same spirit, I'm hoping someone will use my link too :) [look at all those "m's" !!] http://amex.com.au/refer/lukesMMmM You will get a total of...

OK, so I haven't managed to get my return and with only one day left for the DSC I've decided to share. So UL Ticket stock Ex-CMB Route is CMB to New Zealand major ports. Fare Code: IOWQFLK6 Routes via SIN & SYD open jaw is allowed and I was able to price one return via MEL (but not anymore)...

For those that are heading to Australia/Pacific through Central/SE Asia: I recent booked a fare that would normally provide 280 SCs for approx AUD$1,150 (or approx $4.1 per SC). The DSC yields 480SC on this route (or ~$2.40 per SC). I've booked a one way so far and trying to get a return to...

Although my research on this is mostly academic, I am curious to know if anyone has had success dumping BA from C2 to C2.5 - I haven't yet found a working 3x for LHR-AUH rtn (£350 fare of which £203 is YQ) I am not so much looking for a "free" hard earned 3x to be just handed to me - I know how...

is it too late to get involved. presently staying at HoTP - i am interested in some of tomorrow's events. a big hello to the large table of AFFer's sitting next to us right now

funnily enough, I will be in BNE at the same time(s) can also guest.

I had this done to me occasionally, but never bothered to investigate until last Friday (26th July 2013) when flying LHR-PRG (BA). I only booked it on the Wednesday and was very pleased at bagging 4A For those that don't know - there is no 4B on this A320 conifg and they essentially the same...
