Has anyone managed to successfully make a partner airline redemtion with their points? You can only do it online and the call centre won’t help me - the request just seems to disappear into a black hole! Would be interested to hear if anyone else seems to be having this problem?! Thanks

Jeez, it's not simple is it? I used to hold platinum with Virgin and the fly ahead perk was awesome - I just rocked up to airport and jumped on earlier flight, no matter what ticket I was on! Anyway, in this situation, I am wondering if it's worth just not booking my return until I know - as...

Can anyone answer me a couple of newbie questions please: - I am flying Sydney to Melbourne on monday morning, and likely returning tues evening; but this may change. - If i book the return flight as a flex fare for tues evening and my plans change, can I just rock up say on monday evening...

Lucky winner! Enjoy :-)

Is it possible to buy a pair of noise cancelling headphones for under $200 that will withstand the aircraft cabin? Generally I am of the opinion that you get what you pay for, but flying later this week around the world with the kids and would love to invest in a pair for myself, just am on a...

Hi - can anyone tell me if I can pay to access a lounge in Sydney when flying economy on Qatar? Doing the 1025 to Doha on thursday night with the kids and would love somewhere comfy to sit and wait as kids will be exhausted! Thanks Helen

Wow, what an amazingly generous offer! I am a VA Silver, and a QF red. After several years of being VA Plat and slowly bumped down to Silver after changing jobs after having my kids, I travel only really for leisure (with the occasional business trip - but I am now self employed so fly on the...

Hi all I have recently become a Qatar Privilege Member (as I flew to the UK from Sydney with my family, but the fares were not eligible for QFF points). When looking at the Qatar program, it seems I can add my two sons onto my account, rather than them having their own...but I am unclear about...

I flew Sydney to LAX on Delta a few weeks ago - getting a free upgrade to Comfort Plus. I used the managed my booking facility on the Delta website and at T-24 hours I was able to move myself to a comfort plus seat for no additional charge. It's a good benefit - comfort plus is by no means...

Yes, flying DL. Good news is I got a comp upgrade to Delta Comfort Plus today - it was showing as comp upgrade not available, but then went I went into change seat selection it allowed me to take a Comfort + seat for no charge . I called Delta to check, and they confirmed I am now seated in...

Hoping I get an upgrade to Comfort Plus when I check in today. On a side note - is comfort plus worth paying for? It's coming up at $139USD for my Syd - LAX flight.

Hi, I have read the thread ad can't see an answer to this question. With the 30 day admirals club membership,can you still access the QF lounges when on a Qantas flight? I have read conflicting reports, as the admirals club website says: Select Qantas Clubs when departing on the same day on a...

I love my dry red crumper roller bag - ticks a lot of the boxes, but definitely wouldn't class the as a ladies handbag :-(

Thanks - I went through that page earlier, but got confused. Just tried again and after being directed through about 8 pages I got the answer! Air NZ lounge in Syd and Delta Airlines Sky Club in LAX. Cheers :-)

I have been using this forum for some time - but I am now on a mission to accrue Qantas status. I have been a Velocity platinum member for a few years and recently dropped to gold...they have always been my airline of choice. However, last year they lost my business partners bag and never...

Hi, I ma velocity gold and I fly to LAX from Sydney with Delta (economy), and wondered if anyone can answer the following: a) What extra baggage allowance do I receive? b) and what lounges can I gain access to? Finding it hard to get clear info from the velocity website Thanks:)

My voucher took several days - and it came form '[email protected]'. Maybe your spam filter picked it up? Might be worth a check if you haven't already? Hope you find it.

So the two sectors have to be on different days??

Great point!! Thanks

Hi - somehow, despite having enough SCs to requalify for Gold, I am 2 sectors short and don't have any travel planned between now and May16 which is my review date. It's possible work travel may pop up this month, but if it doesn't I am thinking I will do a flight just to requal. So - I just...
