I don't think it's targeted? I got this email on 15 April: These are the offer T&Cs from the email: That seems to have worked, thanks! Unfortunately I've already made the booking I needed elsewhere. That is one of the various errors I got yesterday.

There's a promo on at the moment for 2,000 bonus QBR points if you book through their website.

I've been trying to make a hotel booking through Qantas Business Rewards and I just can't seem to do it. First, I tried logging into my account using my Google Chrome browser and I couldn't even get to the login page. Next tried using Firefox - I can get to the login page but after entering my...

In my opinion, the key to getting the best value from award bookings is to understand (a) the sweet spots in each program's award chart, (b) what the award routing rules will let you get away with, and (c) which airlines partner with whom. Of course, this isn't simple and there are so many...

That's a good question. I can recall a few stays in different hotels where my sleep was disrupted - sometimes due to issues where the hotel was (somewhat) at fault, and other times due to factors totally beyond the control of the hotel. E.g. I recall once that the radio alarm beside the bed...

I boarded a flight on the weekend and immediately observed when I entered the plane that someone was in my seat. I just told the flight attendant at the door and they promptly sorted it out with their colleague without a fuss.

Ugh, it looks like some sort of automatic filter/censor didn't like the first part of that word 😂

Indeed I am outside of Australia at the moment - the app must be picking that up, even though I have a VPN running. Will have to try when I get home. Annoying, but at the same time I'm kind of impressed that their app is clever enough to notice that and add/remove such options accordingly.

Has anyone used the "My Island Sleeper Row" upgrade on Fiji Airways? https://www.fijiairways.com/en-au/manage/my-island-sleeper-row/ I like the concept, but it seems this is only offered subject to availability at checkin - i.e. can't be guaranteed in advance. If it works, the additional cost...

And now you won't even have the option to purchase food on board if you've bought a "seat" fare.

I received this email today as a Points Club Plus member. Not sure if the offer is targeted or open to all Points Club/Points Club Plus members who register. In the past when there have been similar offers, it has been double points for Points Club members or triple for Points Club Plus...

That would be cool (even more so if they did this on their 100th anniversary ;))

Strange... I don't see that option at all. 🤷‍♂️

You can now earn Velocity points on the DiDi ride too ;) https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/velocity-frequent-flyer-launches-partnership-with-didi.113650/

I wonder if Oneworld's new "The 25" signature coughtail will be on the menu in the Qantas First Lounges during May and June? https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/oneworld-alliance-serves-up-25th-anniversary-coughtail.113651/

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Oneworld has created a signature coughtail called 'The 25' in partnership with The Connaught Bar. It contains gin, sweet vermouth, bitter, mezcal and "The Connaught Orange Grove essential oil". There's also a mocktail version. Oneworld says that this coughtail...

Seems like a useful new partnership. I just downloaded the DiDi app and created an account, but I can't see an option yet to add my Velocity details. Maybe the app still needs updating?

Qantas has been able to accept online bookings ex UAE for years, taking payments in AUD. I think this is a different issue to the Qantas website not being able to take bookings originating in most other countries in the Middle East, Africa and South America.

There are a few concerning comments on there about Bonza making it difficult to get refunds. One poster on reddit says they were offered a refund after Bonza cancelled/changed their flight 4 months ago, but they are still waiting and can't get in contact. The person who was supposed to fly from...
