Was pleasantly surprised by an Economy to Business upgrade at the gate on a recent SYD-PER flight on the A330. VA WP here.

Thanks! I’ll take your word for it :)

I activated my $120/week for 4 weeks to get 15,000 points - the offer seems to have disappeared after the first week. is it meant to stay in the app?

Just been granted explore gold. A nice surprise! My partner and I are hopping to Bali next month and pooling will get me the 80SCs. Question: does my partner's "eligible flight" count go up even if the SCs are pooled to me?

The perpetrator has done his cause no favours, and has probably strengthened AJ's resolve to speak out on issues.

I flew CBR-SIN return in March, and I would guesstimate the flight at 60-70% capacity, which seems consistent with the BITRE data. My partner did it in April and reported it was closer to 80% with a full business cabin both ways. I think the route is a grower and hope SQ sticks it out. Given...

You're safe :) From the T&Cs: For members whose subsequent statement cycle occurs after 31 May 2017, the 15% bonus will be applied to the Velocity Points automatically transferred on their June 2017 statement cycle.

Flying the CBR-SIN leg in March on SQ flight number. Does anyone know if I could use the VA lounge with a Single Entry lounge pass prior to departure? The T&Cs suggest it needs to be a VA number so might be SOL...

Re: Westpac Altitude 50,000 QFF points ($150 annual fee - waived for existing custome Looks like the offer has been extended to 30 January 2017 on the Altitude Platinum and Altitude Black cards.

Called up CommBank today to cancel my Platinum credit card (obtained through the 40,000 QF points and no annual fee in first year offer). They offered me 4,000 points, downgrade to the Gold credit card, and waive the annual fee in first year - I accepted. Handy as I had already activated some...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hi travelislife - the original itinerary I tried did not have a stopvover in HKG, so that may be the issue.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Thanks all! I should have been a little clearer. Essentially (over the December/January period...) my partner and I want to go: - Canberra to London/Paris - London/Paris to New York - New York to Canberra Getting two...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Cheers vetrade. Im trying to do: CBR-ADL (QF) ADL-HKG (CX) HKG to Europe (there's supposedly at least 2 Business seats on CX on all of LHR/LGW/DUS/AMS/FRA/ZRH, but Qantas' website won't play for any of them) CDG-JFK (AA)...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Has anyone run into the problem of CX award availability showing on the QF website (and double checked on BA's) — but when I ring up QF they are adamant that it is unavailable? Damn frustrating after building a perfect...

You can redeem 4000 points for 2 x 40EUR vouchers which can be printed out. They have an expiry date of around 5 months from date of redemption.

Does anyone want to speculate what the situation might be like in 2 weeks? We've booked backup refundable accommodation in Thailand, assuming VA can get 4 pax to coughet around the same dates, but given the late notice it's not of the same quality (first world problems!)

I lodged a complaint through CitiBank's website, and the following is their response. I will be following up.

Thanks! Will line up in the J line

I'm VA platinum and flying SQ to Singapore tomorrow - does anyone know which check-in line I'm entitled to use? The VFF website isn't very clear.
