Hi all, I'm planning a trip to Egypt later this year and booking flights on points... I can get home to Perth with a combo involving either EgyptAir or Turkish Airlines, depending on the day. I've flown both, but only short haul. Can anyone shed light on a comparison between the two in long haul...

A quick Q on a Krisflyer redemption: I'm trying to get from DBV - PER in Jan next year. I'm thinking about using my Krisflyer miles to do a Star Alliance redemption in J, possibly going DBV-IST-SIN-PER, on Turkish Airlines and then Singapore. It does count as a Star Alliance redemption, right...

Has anyone managed to book one of these? Is there any more information around apart from the info on the website? Redeeming your miles on Star Alliance airlines I found this thread from 2011...

Does anyone know if EY offers arrivals lounge access for J passengers? I have no Etihad Guest membership, but am Velocity WP, flying on EY to CDG. My accommodation won't be available for a couple of hours after I arrive, so am looking at options to spend some time while I'm saddled with my bags...

Hi all, I'm pretty sure this can't be done, but thought it might be worthwhile asking just in case. I've got a couple of flights coming up on Thai airways. Is there any way I can somehow get points ported around to end up in my Velocity account? I only have Velocity membership really, and a...

Hi all, I recently had a trip to the US and took a couple of Delta flights. It was interesting to see how much/little the Delta staff knew about the Velocity partnership. The biggest part of it for me was lounge access in LAX and that went off without a hitch, but when I checked into my flight...

Hi all, I've got a domestic-international connection in MEL coming up, and since there's a bit of time in the connection, I'm going to meet a friend for brekky. She's not flying, so I'm guessing I can't guest her into the Koru lounge since it's airside past security and customs etc. I'm...
