Very quick question... As VA Gold I can usually select anywhere from row 7 onwards on a flight. On an upcoming MEL-SYD return though one of the flights has the entire front half of the cabin showing as unavailable. Have people seen this kind of thing before? It's early on a Friday...

Follow up to the recent AFF article citing some decent Air NZ award availability in Business from MEL-AKL on the 787 and 777 (here: Unusual Air New Zealand Award Availability) I can see the awards in KrisFlyer and they appear real enough. I can't see them in the United search and Virgin...

Hi all, Have 4xJ booked on points for MEL-CNS-MEL in July. Flight was originally showing as an A330, then the schedule has updated to downgrade it to a 737. There's still a smattering of days around where QF702/703 use a widebody, so is this a change that could be reversed (or am I being...

Was skimming around looking at where QF have currently deployed their A330s domestically, because if I'm going to shell out some avios to take the family away it's going to be in J on a decent plane. Found QF702 running daily from MEL-CNS on an A330: perfect! Trouble is, there doesn't seem to...

Just logged out of citibank internet banking and was hit with this: Citi Australia Unlike the public offer out there (which I think is only for 120,000 points as well) this gives you all the bonus points in one hit, without having to wait for a card anniversary to come around. Good for 43k KF...

Needed to get a family member home from Perth yesterday at short notice. Cash fares had gone through the roof (I'm guessing in part because Qantas and Virgin had A330s tied up with Hong Kong troubles) so jumped on to look for award space PER-MEL. Didn't find anything direct until Sunday so...

So MEL/SYD to AKL in J for 25k KF miles on an Air NZ dreamliner is not a bad way to get to New Zealand, if that's where you're headed. I can see stacks of award space using the United search engine in Oct/Nov this year (we're talking availability every day kind of levels) but any attempt to...

Just got notice of this: Qantas 20k points on offer for contributing $350 to a new super account within 6 months - points to credit 2-3 months after the threshold has been met. I can't see in the Ts&Cs whether it can be an employer contribution or is required to be an after tax contribution...

As with the previous thread, haven't had a chance to use actually use these, given they were invalid at MEL for most of last year/timing/J etc. etc. Beware the caveats, enjoy the wine. Reply to the thread and then PM Surname and QFF number, first in gets both.

There have been a few threads around about getting wacky pricing using the multi-city tool so this is related to that but perhaps not quite the same. I'm searching for a friend of mine who wants to travel from MEL to LHR in April next year around Easter in J (!). I've managed to find some...

So I have a MEL - SYD - MEL same day itinerary coming up (on a Sunday) and some lounge passes to use. Given the flight is early out of MEL I don't much fancy getting up earlier just to use the lounge, but I will have some time on arrival into SYD. According the Ts&Cs: So theoretically if I...

I've dug through a few threads to find answers for this and I think I know what the response will be, but just wanted to gather AFFs collective wisdom before moving forward. I'm trying to book something like MEL/SYD - SIN - ZRH/AMS/CPH online with Velocity points, to take advantage of the fact...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to book QF Domestic J with avios and the booking engine is telling me 'Sorry there is a problem with booking this journey online. Try selecting other flights' (this is under the 'Total Price' section). Switching to Y awards on the same flight is fine and doesn't yield...

Just posted a similar thread in the QFF forum if anyone is interested: Classic Reward cancellation terms This question is about cancellation of a single sector classic reward MEL-HKG (haven't booked it yet). The fare rules say this: CANCELLATIONS BEFORE DEPARTURE CHARGE AUD...

Hi everyone! Question about cancellation of a single sector classic reward MEL-HKG (haven't booked it yet). The terms say this: If your booking contains only Classic Flight Reward, then the following conditions apply: Refunds or re-credit will not be allowed once travel has commenced, even...

Hi everyone. Apologies if this has been asked and answered - I searched through the last few pages of posts and couldn't find anything specific, though there's probably a topic on it somewhere. I'm aware things may have changed since the HKG service started. I'm looking at MEL-PER redemptions...

VA flights can be redeemed as awards with Virgin America elevate points and the Ts & Cs state clearly that no infant awards are allowed. However, VA allows lap infants to travel for free domestically, even on award bookings. My question is: if an award flight on VA domestic is booked with...

I'm going crazy trying to work out how to claim missing Aquire points for a hotel stay - the points have already posted to QFF a week or so ago so I assume the Aquire points have been lost along the way somewhere. Starting here: https://www.aquire.com.au/missingPoints I click through to Crown...

So I just noticed this the other day... Round-trip MEL/SYD/PER-SIN in Y is 20,000 elevate points + $123. That seems quite low for an international redemption! (J is 70,000 pts - still good value but not quite as generous). Does anybody know what availability is like booking SQ with VX...

For those that have flown in Suites and those that have flown with infants... Looking at taking the wife and baby to Europe next year - don't have enough miles for 2x F or even an F and J but could do F + Y or J + J. Thinking behind F + Y is that it gets us a suite, which might just be the...
