I've been looking through to see if other threads cover this but unfortunately haven't been successful. Looking at a RTW itinerary for departure in mid 2024 (may) for a year long trip through Europe UK Caribbean USA and Canada - what is the best plan for booking RTW revenue tickets as the 2nd...

Great trip report so far, glad you seem to be getting through it all. My sister in law is from Glasglow and this TR has put this part of the world on the list for me.

Thanks for the quick response henrus. I thought that was the case but couldn't really find anything to confirm. Unfortunately with the date of travel the $$$ savings outweigh the FF benefits

Looking to book Air Tahiti Nui flights which are on Qantas metal. Do I earn QFF and get the QF benefits (luggage allowance and Qantas Pub) on these flights?

What has occurred with business reward seats? CNS - SYD biz reward is 35500 points and $410, travel in December.

The virgin lounge in CNS went a few steps further and closed completely. That got rid of the queues

Yes - virgin call centre staff member was exceptional. She had to do a fair bit of rebooking and changes, offered to call back once she had progressed a few things and did. Then followed up with another phone call to confirm i had received all the new itineraries. End result is business (2x...

Called up virgin after the velocity team had finished for the day. So plan is to call back tomorrow to cancel the return legs and then purchase choice fares so all on the same booking.

Only direct flights are Saturdays. Morning from Perth afternoon back.

That's what I'm thinking. Also have to balance travel with little miss 3.5yr old of 4.5 vs 9hrs... I'm not so concerned about the points seat downgrade as that's easier to sort out (may even just go full cash for the seats. 1663913770 I found it interesting that our direct flights CNS - PER a...

I'd booked 3x business class seats from PER - CNS for travel end of January (2x rewards 1x revenue) and have just been notified of an aircraft change so that there is no business class. Website and booking is still showing 737-700 and seat selection is still biz. What aircraft would the...

Yeah so I have 2x booking references but no e-ticket. Guess it means another call to get the e-ticket? But likely that qantas have stuffed up with all the new sectors added?

I had a somewhat interesting experience a few days ago with the call centre. Spent nearly 2 hrs on and off hold to sort out a flight credit (family booking) from early covid days. I've been flying virgin for work and pleasure due to the fare differences, so wanted to use the entire flight credit...

Assuming you have an earlier sonos set up?how have you gone with the fact they have now decided not to support their earlier hardware? We have a number of speakers throughout the house and a sub, but have to ignore the update system button. I've been trying to find an open source controller/app...

For steaks and ribs- hurricanes (as per Bondi Beach establishment) is part of the soul complex. Agree about ESPL for good coffee. Depending on how far you want to travel, there are great places further south such as BSKT for breakfast /lunch and a number of places at Burleigh (grab a pizza and...

I had the issue before Christmas. Couldnt book another ride due to non-payment of the first ride. Their technical support team were incompetent. Took about 5-6 weeks for them to confirm their app was the issue (correspondence every 2/3rd day) and then issue a credit. I tried visa and amex. Would...

Flight was great (always seem to find the CNS staff and flight crew are friendly and helpful). Economy x had the seats full that were shown at my original check-in with 5b & 5e empty. Not sure if pax in 6c & 6d were bumped from econ x? Very full flight. For smarter minds - 3abc was a family of 4...

No aircraft change. First spoke to general VA call centre as plat call centre wasnt open (6am), plat call centre added in the tidbit of SYD weather which seemed a stretch. I found the most curious part was that within 30secs my boarding passes where printed by the service desk, no moving of...

Yes, seemed bogus. Just went to the airport (lucky everything is 5mins away in CNS). Service desk didnt know why it had occurred and didn't support the call centre. Seats resolved to the original booked seats, no issue. So good outcome.
