    Domestic to International transit at DPS

    I have booked an YIA-DPS domestic flight on GA and a DPS-SIN one on KL a few hours later. Questions are if GA will thru check bags on a domestic to interntaional connection at DPS and on a separate ticket. Is DPS such an airport that will transfer bags between different carriers like most other...

    Denied Frequent Flyer Claim

    You are 100% spot on. What needs to happen between QF and their partners behind the scene should not be the customers' concern. You publish an earn chart and that should be what dictates the earning. What I think is happening is QF offshore agents making things up to get stuff off their backs...

    Denied Frequent Flyer Claim

    You know what, as I mentioned above, I did try them for another claim. The airline did come back to me but it was the same team with the same BS answer. The Adcocate then said there was nothing more they could do to help.

    Denied Frequent Flyer Claim

    Yes, I noticed. It's as if the original email asking me to send boarding passes was so that my reply would be another agent's concern. The agent never had any intention of solving my problem. I had a similar issue with a missing flight credit with China Eastern a while ago where I simply just...

    Denied Frequent Flyer Claim

    Just an update on this claim. After sending my ticket copy and my boarding passes to QF, one agent replied and determined that the flights were eligible and asked me to forward boarding passes (which were attached to the email she replied from!!!). After sending my boarding passes again, a...

    ANA partnership with Virgin Australia

    Doesn't mean it would credit. My last four AC flights with correct number recorded have been via retro claim. Their system is not working well with partners.

    ANA partnership with Virgin Australia

    Regarding lounge access, I think I can understand NH's hesitation. If you have been to NH's lounges in Japan recently, you will find yourself struggle to even find a seat. Perhaps when the peak season is over, they will re-visit reciprocal lounge access but wonder how many people would jump ship...

    Amex free annual flights

    I have now flown my return free flights and can report that they did credit to my AC account and are status qualifying (SQM & SQS).

    Virgin Australia "Milestone Announcement" June 1, 2023

    Interesting. Aren't they supposed to be more like a scooper?

    Virgin Australia "Milestone Announcement" June 1, 2023

    Joining an alliance would be a VA announcement not a Velocity announcement, wouldn't it? So we can basically rule that out. I just hope they will not move to dynamic award chart nonsense.

    Melbourne lounge access rookie mistake

    The House had more food variety to my liking, such as noodle. It appears though that CX has removed The House as a lounge option from their website so not sure if they are still contracting The House after the new time.

    VA/Etihad partnership future?

    I suspect you would have to argue/explain your VA status at most of VA partner airlines' out stations. This is the trouble of not belonging to an alliance when nowadays agents rely on the status printed on boarding passes. Does VA status appear on any of their partner airlines' boarding pass...

    Amex free annual flights

    Already replaced the FFP number with my AC number and the booking dropped from my VA app. Will report back what happens.

    Amex free annual flights

    As you know, domestic travel earning is based on the ticket price not booking class. I am surprised no one has reported this but I sure will do once I have flown.

    Amex free annual flights

    But partner earning is based on booking class not the value of ticket.

    Amex free annual flights

    Credit to AC, UA or another partner program. At least you would get something, right?

    Melbourne lounge access rookie mistake

    Interesting. So QF lounge will just kick you out at 11pm leaving you hang in the departure area for the next 1 hour and a half?

    Amex free annual flights

    Does anyone know if these Amex complimentary annual return flights earn any points or status? Will it at least count towards the 4 flights required to qualify for Gold? If the answer is no, I might as well credit them to UA or AC as the booking class is eligible and I see no reason why they...

    SFO routes dropped?

    I was in the same boat. After emailing reward esclation team 4 times, someone from Hobart finally got back to me and offered an AS flight from LAX to SFO separately. She said she wouldn't be able to combine the 2 tickets together due to 1 being a reward ticket and the other a revenue ticket paid...

    Denied Frequent Flyer Claim

    The difference is these flights only carry the MH flight number. It's pretty much an MH flight operated by MY situation. You simply cannot buy these flights with an MY flight number. At the airport, there is only MH branding including regular oneworld signage. You also do get additional baggage...
