    ALL QF's 330's to get lay flat Business seating - Including Domestic

    How long until your flight? There's always a chance it'll change back... I've been watching one of my BNE-SIN flights and it's been changed from new to old and back to new in the space of two weeks.

    Bangkok - First Lounge

    Sorry to raise an old thread but i havent been able to find a definitive answer on this. Can a QF WP access the BKK EK lounge when flying Jetstar Asia? I have to fly BKK-SIN before flying home and it'll be on a QF ticket with a QF flight number. And secondly, is the refurbished EK lounge any...

    EK/QF advice needed

    I'm after some advice on the best way to book my upcoming flights as I'm looking to fly BNE-VCE--AMS-BNE with Emirates on a 380 from/to BNE and have the opportunity to use my EK points to upgrade Y to J at check-in if it's available. I'm EK Silver with a lot of points to burn but I want to use...

    Long haul op-up priority

    The fare basis doesn't come into it as most of the ops people don't know the difference between a T,Q,Y Economy Fare. They just see everyone as Economy. They'd then look at the manifest and find all their status pax that are currently in Y to find who to move. I think it would come down to if Y...

    International flight, best way to get upgrade

    Really the only way is to hope your flight is oversold in Y and there's no/not many Platinums travelling in Y that will be upgraded before you. I hope you get lucky!

    Interesting Seat Allocation

    Row 1 vs Row 2 for a 45 minute flight? Do you seriously need to make a 9 paragraph post about this? I'm sorry but surely there's more important things in life to be concerned with.

    LAS Hotels

    Stayed at Wynn for a week last year, it was brilliant! My recommendations if you want the best - Mandarin Oriental (Non-Gaming, Non-Party Atmosphere) Wynn or Encore (Has everything) Cosmopolitan (Brilliant, Younger Crowd)

    I was status-matched from QF and requaled last month with 1300 SC's, but no free Status Credits here. If they're only giving 15 (~$80) meh

    Ticketed and boarding pass on away 1a - changed to 3b at gate

    While the handling of this seems to be pretty piss-poor by Virgin, the fact remains.... "We are unable to guarantee seat selection requests as they may need to be changed for operational or safety reasons."

    Bora Bora or Maldives

    If pricing is similar i'd highly recommend the Maldives over BOB!

    Retro-Claims Question

    I've requaled for Plat already but my new year doesn't start until September and I have a trip to DUB next month. Yes it's sneaky, but i'm wondering if I leave my FF number out of the booking and then put a reto-claim in October will the SC's be credited for my new maintaining year?

    Velocity Frequent Flyer VIP

    I was told something similar to this when I was on the phone booking some flights. He wasn't overly convincing but said that they're putting some of their staff through training at the moment and more info will be released when it's ready, but he explained it was just encompassing Gold &...

    Virgin Australia 777 Seat Selection

    Sorry to hijack but thought I could help. I flew BNE-LAX-BNE on a Promo (actually a cheaper version of the promo that I got through an agent) and got bumped to Premium BNE-LAX and Business LAX-BNE! Travelling by myself as Plat.

    OOL Lounge

    on the flip-side to this, one would think that when deciding to launch ATA, the cost of people 'taking full advantage' have been factored in. It doesn't take a genius to realise there's going to be alot of people making the very most of their entitlements so hopefully this was factored into it...
