Hello brains trust. I have seen this question answered before but my search skills have failed me. I have a booking coming up I’ve requested an upgrade on, but have just booked a trip prior that which will tip me over 1400 SCs. Are upgrade requests processed on the basis of the members...

Hi team Just checking if anyone knows what time the F lounge in Melbourne closes? Website says “till last Qantas departure” which isn’t that helpful. For reference I’m on the 2:25am Emirates departure and am wondering if I’ll have to slum it in the Emirates lounge.

Hi team Fairly sure I know the answer to this one but wanted to double check. I have business class tickets with QR into Singapore and then connecting on the same ticket with Bangkok airlines. Am I right in thinking I have no access to the QR or other OW lounge in Singapore? Bonus question...

Hey guys Having not travelled for a few years I've started a new job which will have frequent (2-3 times a year) travel to the US. Travel will generally be on United. Company policy is all travel will be in business (mostly P class I think). I've previously been a OW flyer though my Qantas...

Checking into a Paris to LHR flight with BA can they through-check my bags onto that evening's QF2 departure (both flights were booked as separate award bookings). I'm fairly sure the answer is yes but would like to be certain... Edit - oh there's another thread on this live at the moment and...

Platinum award seat release is now my favourite WP benefit :) I had held a J class LHR to SYD award booking for September flying BA to HKG then CX to ADL and finally QF to SYD. All up this was around 172,000 points, and a less than ideal routing, but for a LHR to SYD itinerary put together at...

Just thought I'd share my excitement to have hit this milestone with QF... Have been Platinum with VA since they introduced the tier but changes to travel patterns etc has seen me switch back to Qantas as of January, having not flown with them for many many years. I've been flying monthly...

Quick sanity check ahead of tomorrow's QF127 which looks to be a non-refurb bird (front cabin is a 1-2-1 configuration). Currently in row 4 but have a few options upstairs too including the exit. I've lots of J flying experience but never on the 747 before and upper deck on the 747 is a bit of...

Hi guys, have recently been flying Qantas again. Currently Gold. Have an H class flight booked for the 24th from Singapore to Sydney but EF is showing business is sold out so zero chance of an upgrade. Saturday 25th is showing J8 C3. Trying to weigh up moving my flight out a day. Staying here...

The word on Twitter is that there's now a curtain. A curtain! https://twitter.com/#!/donniebrowne/status/184451516021751809 Of course, by "the word" I mean a single, uncorroborated account. But still. Has anyone spotted the mythical curtain? I'm flying on Thursday so will be sure to pay close...

Aloha all. I'm celebrating Australia day by doing a very Australian thing - flying to Britain :p I'm on EY455, a 21:50 departure. My afternoon is mostly free, so if there are people around to meet up with I can check-in when it opens and be airside around 7pm. I'm flying Etihad business class...

Just off DJ810 this morning. Page 3 of the in-flight rag has a full page advert for Thai airlines. Never once have I seen an advert for a competing non-aligned/partner airline in an in-flight magazine. Is this a stuff up on the part of the advertising agency (and proofers) or a sign of things...

Hi there, I don't book much of my own travel, so this hasn't been something I've faced before, but yesterday I made reservations at a couple of hotels in Glasgow and Rome for next year at the "instant-purchase/non-refundable" rate. I am an HH Diamond member and have noticed that nothing has...

Ahoy, I will have need next month for a hire car/limo/driver/day car service for airport transfers in Milan, Rome and London - was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? Price is more important than luxury - just looking for a reliable and professional service that'll offer a transfer in...

Figure I would post this here as Velocity members are fairly likely to fly this route often. I have a couple of J return trips to LHR booked with Etihad over the next year or so - one in February and then again in July. Does anyone know the current status of the rollout of the new Etihad J...

Hi guys, Just wanted to check in here - I hit Platinum with AAdvantage a couple of months ago but haven't yet received my new membership card. Can anyone give an indication of how long this typically takes? Wondering if it is time to phone them and see if it has got lost in the post! Cheers

Hi there, I've been hanging around here for a while but, having just stepped off of VA2 from LAX to Sydney at 6am this morning, I am killing time trying to keep myself awake to a reasonable hour. This felt like a good opportunity to formally introduce myself and to thank the community for the...

Hi guys, A hopefully straightfoward question... does anyone know if Qantas will status match holders of other OneWorld elite FF membership? I currently hold American Airlines AAdvantage Platinum (OneWorld) and Velocity Gold, but am a lowly Bronze Qantas FF. Appreciate I can use my AA...
