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...

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...

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...

Anyone experiencing delays in SC posting lately? My 28 Nov flight was posted fine on 30 Nov. However, the 2 Dec OOL-SYD hasn't been posted yet. Normally it takes 2-3 days? Could it be that I was moved to an earlier flight due to operational reason (weather)? I can see the booking via Velocity...
