    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens

    I sent an email to our immigration minister last month regarding the availability of the US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens. I received a response today from the Traveller Policy area. It appears that they did not realise the benefit of GEP is more than just Automated Passport...

    Couples & Voluntary Cabin Separation

    Last year, I was on a VA domestic flight sitting in 2C (J) and my partner was sitting in 3C (Y). The cabin supervisor noticed the situation (as we were talking to each other) and happily moved her to 2A which was vacant. She was even served J catering.

    Fly ahead - with a fee

    I often book 8PM services because it can be difficult to tell if I can finish my job on time. Most of the time, I fly ahead and get home early. In some occasions, I even managed to complete my job 1 day earlier so I can leave in the morning. I guess moving forward, they will spend much more...

    Platinum Charge Card Insurance Change from 1st April

    Just called ACE and they were not aware of any change. After reviewing the "new" policy, the agent said she couldn't see any major change. She didn't quite understand why a new effective date was given and was confused as well. I spent some time to review every page and the only real change I...

    Are "Virgin Australia NZ" operated flights considered operated by "Virgin Australia"?

    Dear VFF, In the booking engine, some flights e.g. VA185 (MEL-NAN) are listed as operated by "Virgin Australia NZ". Neither the status credit page, or the double status credit offer terms & conditions mentioned "Virgin Australia NZ". If a flight is operated by "Virgin Australia NZ", is it...

    VA Double Status Credit Offer

    If the operator is "Virgin Australia NZ". Is this eligible for double SC offer? Specifically for VA185 (MEL-NAN), VA184 (NAN-MEL). It's a bit confusing when "Virgin Australia NZ" is listed as the operator in the booking system but not mentioned anywhere in the Status Credit page.

    Clarity on CC fee for reward bookings

    I had to split a return booking to two one-way bookings to avoid the CC charges. Basically if the cash/card component is not more than $50 then there is no CC charge. Or maybe use POLi...

    How to correctly follow up a missing points claim?

    Hi Velocity Rewards, I made a booking with Agoda, about three days after the partnership started on 27 June. I was 100% sure that I entered my correct Velocity number because I took the screenshots - just being cautious with a new Velocity partner. Not seeing any points, I filed a missing...
