I would pick the one during the day to enjoy the food and service rather than overnight.

I have my home loan with CBA and have been using the free Diamond card for a long while. Found this thread early this week mentioned about Ultimate card is now free as part of the wealth package, I did the card switch online and now the new Ultimate card is on the way.

It also opens the door for Qatar and Hawaiian with a 2 to 1 rate, guess that's a positive thing?

Kingscote Airport (KGC) on Kangaroo Island, where I was flying Rex to Adelaide then transit into Melbourne on Qantas. There was no security check (shocking) at Kingscote, and on arrival I can just connecting to the Melbourne flight without any check. That was the first few years in Australia...

@MattA Thanks for the information, and I have just noticed exactly the same thing on my booking with EY later this year on VA website with a status of 'confirmation.status'. I had a look around on TripCase and can see the e-ticket number is the same when I made the booking Nov 22, but I do...

Just booked a FP trip for winter school holiday, but have to deal with a slight awkward return flight of 3am departing from PPT to AKL then onwards back to MEL. (with AirNZ) For anyone had experience before, is there any possibility with early check in, and if the lounge operated by Air Tahiti...

This reminds me complaints from my friends (I’m mainland Chinese) when they asked for hot water on Qantas from PVG to SYD a few years ago, the answer is a straight no…

Just contacted the support line, they can't do anything apart from telling me there is no update yet, you are still in the queue, blah blah blah. Well I guess I will just be patient here, and be prepared to pack some sandwich (or grab some from Amex lounge) for lunch :)

Thanks folks, I will definitely give VA a call shortly. I'm still not sure if this is a wise choice for 72k points on a short flight, but consider I have to prepare and bring lunch if travelling on economy (yes +X, and no I don't like those food on offer for purchase onboard), biz is still...

Choice, I should have stated this clearly in the original question. So yeah definitely cannot go for the complimentary upgrade option.

Long time QF flyer, switched over to VA for almost a year now so less familiar with the process here. But basically I have an economy ticket to NAN departing in 5 days for 2A1C, and had been put on the business class waitlist for a while now. I am a Platinum and as the rule I have read is...

Are you able to put bags underneath if go with row 3? I remember there is/was some sort of divider in between the eco x and biz seats.

A week ago, I posted here I was lucky enough that my QF93 on 25/11 Friday not cancelled. I'm flying back with QF94 on 2/12 this Friday, finger crossed my luck can continue.

Thanks mate, and good luck with the connecting tomorrow!

On flightradar24 it added another entry of QF93 scheduled to depart at 01:01 25/11, not sure if this is for the cancelled flight today or not. I'm flying on tomorrow on QF93 so will try to get to MEL early coz I'm sure it will be a full flight.

I have a trip booked for late January 23, and have travelled to Fiji about a few times now this time I picked Vomo when it had a stay 5 pay 4 a while back. All inclusive together with child care facility is always helpful when travelling with little ones, I can’t tell if it worth the top dollar...

Ya, basically the more status extension it runs, the less value it will be for many frequent flyers, especially those use cash to booking the premium seats. These days it is just way to easy to access a lounge, that in most cases the domestic lounges here is no better than the terminal itself.

I'd hope airlines can build more business/first class only lounges, and those with status (or pass/invite/whatever) but flying economy have a separate lounge, just like what SQ is doing at SIN. The way currently QF/VA's lounge at SYD/MEL(and more) is just a zoo, pretty much pointless to sit in...

Being a relatively new follower of VA, I've got a question regarding travel bank. Basically I booked a flex fare from MEL-ZQN return over the Xmas period this year, and there is a possibility we are looking at cancel it (Hopefully not needed). From VA's website, I can see if refund to travel...

I've just noticed on ExpertFlyer that some international flights (or many?) are showing some interesting availability now, not sure if this is related what AJ said about opening more awards seats. E.g. QF93 MEL-LAX 24/11 J9 C8 DL IL W9 R6 TL Y9 B9 H9 K9 M9 L9 V9 SC NC QC OC EL or QF146 AKL-SYD...
