So I will be flying to YVR tomorrow and am looking at connections to the US (seperate bookings). I’m travelling without bags and am not so stressed about missing a flight. There is a connection I’ve found that departs an hour after my arrival into YVR. I had assumed I could exit the plane and...

Apologies if this has been asked elsewhere. Does anyone know at what point a booked fare becomes a 'no show' for the purpose of a refund request/cancellation? (i.e is it 24hrs before departure, after check in open time, at actual departure time, etc) I've tired looking this up but the Qantas...

On Monday I made a transfer from altitude to my KrisFlyer account, the email they sent me said it would be 3 business days, it’s now been 4. Does anyone have any recent experiences with the timeframes for altitude transfers?

thanks to the recent status fast track I’m a new qantas flyer. I’m chronically late, all the time, and was pretty across the absolute latest I could make a flight on VA. I’ve got a QantasLink flight from Sydney tomorrow, departing at 5:10pm and will be pushing it with my arrival to the airport...

So my amex referral bonus has been bumped up to 70k. Few other people I’ve spoken to who also have a plat charge have not received the offfer. Anyone else here?

Hi all Am flying LAX-SYD on VA 2 tomorrow in J. I understand checkin opens 3 hours prior to dearture at 11:15pm however I will be at LAX at about 6:30pm. The BNE flight is leaving at 9:45pm, so I assume the checkin will be physically open at 6:45. Does anyone know if VA will let me checkin...

So I've been dealing with IHG over the last few days relating to an unauthorised redemption on my account. The redemption was 10000 points to a British airways avois account in 'my name'. After doing a bit of digging on the website, I found out that FF point redemptions require contact to IHG...

Hi all I will be departing on SQ218 at 1am in a few weeks time. Will be arriving into Melbourne at about 8pm, given SKL lounge won't open until about 10pm, what will my lounge options be? Flying J, VA gold. Not at all familiar with MEL...

I recently went to use fly ahead on a SYD-OOL flight but was told that the flight is full. 3 minutes later, I did a search on the website and three seats were showing as for sale. I called velocity platinum but by the time I got through to them (maybe 5 minutes later), they also told me the...

Hi all I couldn't find a thread on this topic in AFF, but if it exists please let me know. I've recently started looking at the us DV lottery (us green card lottery) program, with the view to apply for the 2018 program next year. I'm aware this could be a >10 year process given the reported...

Hi all I've got an upcoming reward booking with SQ (booked via KF) and I was just wondering if I will get my VA WP benefits (extra baggage, etc)? I am not able to put my velocity number on the booking and both the VA & KF contact centres have been very unhelpful.

Hi all I have booked a trip on the new 777-300er and have noted that the seat map shows 3 rows of the front mini J cabin vs. the 2 which have been reviewed on here and various 'best seat' websites. Has anyone travelled on the new J, and do they have seat recommendations? Thanks J

Since the introduction of the F&B for all passengers I have had a lot of grief in being accommodated for my dietary requirements when flying in Y. This is the situation I am faced with almost every time I fly (always on flexi fare), and I am not joking or exaggerating; (FA) ask if I would like...

Hi everyone I'm looking to do 3x J reward bookings from SYD or BNE to SIN for a long weekend (Thursday-Monday/Tuesday). Can someone advise me how many velocity points I would need (would it be better to do a KF transfer or use VA) and what the go is with buying KF points? Also any...

Not sure whether this is an error or not but sky has reported that a SVP has said they will take a stake? China Southern-Qantas codeshare a boost

So I'm just trying to call velocity and um I can't? Because they're only open Mon-Fri 6:30-10:30? When did this happen?

As a regular VA (flexi & J) flyer and regular poster on this form. I have noticed a recent decline in the service I have received and the general VA sentiment around AFF. Particularly, the flexi meal offerings being a snack with only water, tea and coffee included. I can appreciate that...

So I've just had to change a multi city flexi booking via the plat line. My work/life arrangements dictate that nearly every flight I buy has to be changed... Anyway, this is normally done fine for free via the gold and now plat line. Today I was charged $35. Is someone able to let me know...
