    I've just reached Velocity Platinum

    I waited 6 weeks and decided to call Velocity. They "escalated" it and my hotel status was sorted in less than 24 hours lol

    I've just reached Velocity Platinum

    Hi brains trust, I've just hit Platinim for the first time in any airline loyalty program. Literally took the last flight on Sunday night to hit the eligiable sector minimums. I ended up with close to 2000 status credits in the past 12 months. Anyhow, what's the first thing I should do with my...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    It would have been better if status credits didn't expire on the anniversary. I'm 10 points short of making gold this year. First time for a few years that I've been this close and now will struggle to even get one flight between now and end of May

    British Airways or Cathay Pacific business class (using points)?

    Good question, the soft product for BA is great but the hard product for CX is better. Im leaning towarda CX but i haven't flown BA for 2 years now and I heard they've made some further improvements. Eitherway you cant go wrong. Enjoy

    EY & QR J to Europe from $2,723 ex MNL

    DOH - FRA is now an A380. We were on that flight just a couple of weeks back in J. The QSuite though is amazing and, for my family, would be hard to fly anything else now that we've experienced it. Going from the Qusite to the QR A380 in J, felt like a downgrade to PE

    That's a good price. CX are really discounting their J tickets lately. I just hope the keep it up for another month or so until my dates become available.

    FF Points predicament to get the family to LHR

    Hi Blackcat20, did you have any luck with finding QR reward seats? I've had no luck. I called Q this morning and she was no help at all. She did think it was odd that QR hadn't released any seats, not even economy. Anyhow I'll probably give it till a few more days before cancelling my SYD -...
