    How do I select seats on Virgin booked using Krisflyer miles?

    I have found Tripcase shows my VA booking reference for trips I have booked on SQ and when I have used VA points to book a flight on SQ, the SQ booking reference was shown. On paid SQ bookings I can select seats on SQ metal but not on VA metal. I can not remember if I could select seats on VA...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Last November I flew HBA-xMEL-xSIN-BKK and status credits took 4 days to appear with each flight. On the return BKK-SIN took 2 days, SIN-MEL took 14 days. I also noticed at the time that unless 14 days has passed you can not make a claim for missing points / status credits.

    Meal service on SQ218?

    In June I flew BNE - SIN in J and was asked if I wanted meal service shortly after take off or before arrival which I chose as I wanted to get to sleep ASAP. I would expect this to also be asked on SQ 218 I think it might of been a tip I picked up on here, but I have found not eating after take...

    Best Way from BKK airport to Sukhumvit

    Hot meter once, no meter / fixed fare a couple of times and that was when I decided I would take Airport Link then BTS and that worked well for me up until I had a stroke 14 months ago so last 2 trips I have booked car directly with the Hotel. As I normally had an early arrival it also meant a...

    Memorable experiences going through airport security?

    A few years ago I was travelling back from BKK to SYD and was behind another passenger who was holding up the security line by talking on his phone and not placing his back pack etc. on the belt to go through the X-Ray screening. The security officer was not impressed and she asked him a couple...

    Marriott new properties 2021.

    From what I can tell the rooms are built behind the original facade and you can see there is new windows behind the old existing windows. If I remember I will check to see what plans we have at work and if they detail what they have done. Also there was recently an article in the Mercury about...

    Earning QFF points with Kayo

    From my experience with them I would not waste time chasing the points and when you do get them it might be the right amount. It took a few emails that went unanswered and about 3 months for my points to be credited and while the bonus points were correct the monthly points I was supposed to...

    So if Pfizer & Moderna were relying on phone calls from participants in the trial that surely would put into question how accurate the results are. The AZ/Oxford trial the participant I know who was part of the trial was tested every Tuesday and was positive after one of them, guess they had...

    I got the Large Santoku knife just over a week ago. It is a lot better than I expected it to be though anything is better than the old blunt knife I had been using. I'll grab the Steak knifes and the Large Cook's knife next. One thing that I found odd was when I handed the knife to the person...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Ah, yes :) I'm thinking as we are about 8 months into his Covid "mess" it will be at least 6- 8 months before we get back to International holidays / flights being an option for those who are vaccinated. As mentioned before it is highly likely the PM will extend the ban to March, and then in...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    And how many of those was solely because of Covid and not some other underlying health issue which when combined with Covid caused death? Think about this, if died because I had a heart attack while driving would the road fatality count be increased because I crashed and "died" as a result of...
