Typical Sydney, always blaming Melbourne 😂

Not so bad being “stuck” in Dublin, there’s worse places. I’ll have a pint of Guinness with you when I get there… from CBR via a slightly more extended route with VA, SQ and EI.

CBR-BNE today I had the delicious vegetable tart with caramelised onion on top and mash on the side (photo by Mattg up-thread). Lovely. Not too heavy at the start of a very long day.

Long wait in BNE for a flight connecting my domestic VA to the late SQ246 out of BNE (schedule change increased 5 hr transit to 9 hrs). Small mercy I could check-in using the kiosk before the official check-in actually opened, because I had carry-on only. So time wasted in security and...

I agree with your interpretation @Mattg . I guess the concern is that halfway through a trip a (flight booked with points) connection is missed or flight cancelled - where do you stand? It seems clear from a commercial booking that you would get moved along to the next destination somehow -...

Hypothetical, just trying to figure out how insurers deal with points bookings.

yes, I've had this rebooking... but it was a fully flexible QF economy fare which cost about 300% what the rebooked VA ticket was worth (it was in the details of the ticket I received on a slip of paper printed at the service desk).

I actually laughed out loud when I read this thread title. As expected, my experience was similar to those shared here. Submitted a substantial complaint, with all the receipts and evidence, only to be ignored, then dismissed when I called to ask why there had been no response. Template...

Velocity offering up to 40% bonus points for points purchase. So buy from this table and then get +40% extra points (if I have understood it correctly). Did everyone get this offer or is it selected ? EDIT: nope, I was wrong... this is the points purchase table for "Points Booster" which...

Keen for your thoughts on this Allianz insurance PDS quote: So, roughly... if you book a U (Points business) points ticket for 128,000 points, and the "equivalent booking" made in a J (Revenue business) ticket made on the same day was say $6,400. This seems to work fine for single sector...

Hi all, I’m just back from an extended (but unexpected) period of travel for work. Unfortunately as I had no part in arranging the trip there isn’t much to include in a trip report! Thanks to MattG for picking up the baton. I had researched the bus option and could get an approx $70 rate per...

This is the sort of thing that can reinforce good behaviors in staff, like going above-and-beyond with customer service. While a letter to management ought to suffice, i fear that often managers don't take the time to properly reward frontline staff when such a letter/email is received.

I've only run this gauntlet twice despite many Accor stays. While both have (eventually) been accepted, the awkward process is hardly worth the effort. My first claim was acknowledged almost immediately (I had 10 screenshots) but the second required repeated escalating interactions with hotel...

So after watching the unusual sight of a QF A330 on approach into Canberra, and a bit of research online, it seems that VH-QPA operating the Thur 25 Jan QF80 from NRT to MEL didn't quite make it to the Victorian capital.

Interesting to see a higher than usual numbers of refusals. As QF holds data on points earned from ‘banking’ or ‘cards’ as one of it’s categories, they can see big signup bonii coming into a QFF account. Also visible is a monthly point transfer (or lack of after the bonus). Wouldn’t this makes...

Similar but with bonus 500 if online + with click&collect $0 delivery = double win.

Saturday is winning the poll by quite a margin and this looks like a good day for a few posters up thread, so I think we might have a date to work with.

Metro North Rail (commuter not Amtrack) up to New Haven (Yale) or any number of stops along the way.

+1 I also had this question!

I am receiving a (missed) call each day from a number I have previously saved as related with Accor Plus. My days are pretty full of meetings and I normally don't check my private phone during work hours. They call EVERY DAY, although I don't answer. It doesn't bother me but I find it odd...
