Just noticed that I have had 10 SC's credited to my account for a reward flight my wife made a couple of weeks back (I have family pooling turned on). Interesting since the reward seat was booked prior to the promotion being announced so this seems based on travel dates and not booking dates :)

Yes, using the mobile site (not the full one), seat selection was available. I didn't print the BP since I sent it to Passbook (which in the end was pointless since they printed a BP for me at the gate when they swiped my phone)....

Have just used passbook, on iphone, for a recent MEL-SYD return. Can't say I can really see the point, yes, check-in from my phone was easy, as was adding the BP into passbook, however what's the point of all this when as your phone is swiped at the gate, they print off a BP for you, isn't the...

Just done a MEL-SYD round trip, couldn't do advance seat selection, but OLCI gave me 3A for both legs (I am WP).

Do you get the 'Contact Guest Centre' message? I cant log in either.... :(

Well things went pretty well as expected. Long queues for check-in, the J line took me around 30mins. Staff were handing out free water. I showed up around 2.5 hours before and by all accounts checkin had only been open for around 15mins. There were plenty of staff (2 per check-in counter, 1...

Thanks KCMil for the detailed breakdown :) I will be on VA23, however I am actually on a DL issued ticket (was $2000 cheaper than the same VA), will this make any difference?

I will be flying MEL-LAX on Saturday, the day of the changeover to Sabre :( I have received a couple of emails from VA advising that there could be some slowdown in service and advising to check in 3 hours before departure. Fortunately I will be in J so hoping impact would be minimal. Anyone...

Re: Crediting of points & SC's on VA flight numbers operated by partner airlines Yes, am experiencing the very same. Did MEL to ATL (via LAX) where MEL-LAX legs were on VA metal, but ticket was issued on DL (was $3K cheaper for J). DL legs from LAX to ATL return have credited, still waiting...

I noticed this trend on my recent MEL-LAX return. On both legs there was no holding Y/Y+ before J....personally disappointed since I was in J and SQ for example always let J disembark first....just MHO.

Yup, I was in there last Saturday, still the same and the staff couldn't give a date for grog. Food is marginally better than when I was last there in July, and Wifi was working (albeit slowly and some convaluted log on process where you get a user ID and PW from the front desk that only works...

Thanks, my newbie apologies for the repetition....duly noted... :(

Those lovely days of being sat in the ordinary SQ lounge in MEL and they call your name, show me the blue :) In fact I remember being called when I had paid for my ticket and my +1 was with me on a points ticket....so they upgraded her as well :)

All, Have read with great interest the 'perception' of row 5 over to the US on the 777. I am flying Saturday, have been allocated the magic row, but is it really that special? Seems to be me to be near the toilet as well as the bar (which I guess in some ways isnt a bad thing since I will no...

Yes, SQ have really dropped their earning potential, there are too many ticket levels that dont qualify for either points or status :(

I believe it would have been, this was just last August. I have been KF Gold for 6 years straight now, so evidence that Gold can get an op up :)

Similar experiences, 4-5 years ago I was on a roll and had several Y-J upgrades, even 1 J-F, but recently not so good (in fact went 3 years without one despite flying 6-7 time per year on SQ). Last one was SIN-MEL on a A380 which was a bonus :)

Perfect, thanks Mella2007.

Adding something else into this mix that is related, when checking my current online statement, I see that required number of eligible sectors for status moves has a 'note 3' next to it. The note states the following - does this mean that SQ booked/coded flights will no longer count towards...

I have just returned from the US where I flew Delta from LAX to ATL. Does anyone know how long it takes for the miles to hit my velocity account? BTW, my VFF number was on the Delta boarding passes. The outbound sector was a week ago and still no credits, VA sectors have come through (these...
