    VA cancels all NZ flights up until NOV22

    VA happy to cede the trans-tasman market share (or lack of) to QF/JQ & AirNZ until end of year I guess. Agreed, the trans-tasman bubble should be reciprocal both ways regardless of which passport you hold. It was only in the last month or so Australian's were allowed in from July quarantine...

The foreign lady placed...

    100 status credits = lounge pass?

    Hi, Not sure if this has already been posted but I read somewhere that you earn lounge passes incrementally every 100 SC's earned. I'm only VFF silver with currently 2 passes but just passed another 100 SC's since being upgraded and no extra lounge pass was given. Cheers
