Thx for the update. The free breakfast is a nice perk to still have but I love the ex lounge. Thx for the clarification

Really??!! I thought that Gold perks were always Ex lounge access no matter what room you are in?? I know you get breakfast and a later check out but i really thought that the Ex lounge was a gold perk, no matter what

Just an update to all, i can't seem to find any info about this but I was in Malaysia in Feb and got to use the Gold status and got free upgrade, breakfast and executive lounge. Just went back again and used the gold status and this time around they said that the executive lounge access is no...

The death of someone at home is only if they are under the age of 85 or have not been in hospital in the last 12 months, varies from company to company. Yes, for this scenario Could be medical. Or any other scenario. Given how many flights are being cancelled esp by Qantas these days, I...

So, what companies will give you assurance that they will get you home and on a J or F flight? Or any flight home? I continue to look into this and it is murky. I called Allianz and they said they would refund my points but not get me home. They would not be responsible to get me home even if...

I agree 100% I guess i am just going down a rabbit hole with this Happy to get a refund if the trip hasn't started so no need to do a claim BUT.... will they get me home on a J booking if my travel has started? I just want to get home and some of the wording kind of looks like that you are on...

Can anyone please explain this to me? So i have been doing a deep dive on what is the best insurance for points flights and there seems to be a lot of tricky wording out there. So i have found a couple that have this wording and found an example but I am still confused. So in this example if...

I defiantly will. I just made an assumption that if i needed to get home in a hurry and I buy top travel insurance this would be covered and i was surprised that it isn't. I think lots of people might make that assumption too

I know this is going to sound very morbid but ...... does anyone know if there are any policies that would cover you if you needed to get home in a hurry if something happens to a close relative? I have looked at various policies and your relative can not be older than 85. These are the PDS...

You won’t get the points. Happened to me. I was about a month short of the 18 month wait. I didn’t do my sums right and I rang and complained but I still didn’t get the points

I used code ZXW75 and the one of the flights went up by around $10, not sure about the other flight. I then looked at the flight without the discount code and it went back to the original price. I didn't bother using the code

Yes. That’s the one I meant

I hear you, OMG it is painful..... I have not been able to find a better way to do this apart from clicking on every line item. On another thread somewhere, someone posted about putting in a whole heap of tech commands that would filter out other flights. It looked very techy and I have not...

As a newbie with these velocity points, i totally misunderstood this.... I have got it now... Thanks... It is only if i choose points and pay the taxes that i would get a reasonable rate. Thank you all

Hi all, is there a master thread or somewhere you can direct me to understand all the ins and outs of booking international flights using my Velocity points? I have not used Velocity points for international flights. I must be doing something wrong because i am only getting flights with a huge...

Different airlines and travel companies use the different systems. I believe that American Airlines uses Sabre and Qantas uses Amadus. I have booked flights with points using AA but flying Qantas. AA had a different booking reference to Qantas. Checkmytrip uses Amadeus therefore u can check...

What app do people use for translations and trying to have conversations in a foreign language? Is there a good one? I have used ITranslate and Google Translate. What do you recommend? 1672701658 I LOVE Tripit... what a shame we can't check ticketing status

ohhh, maybe that is what has changed, pre-covid when i use to travel i am sure i use to see both names... aghhh so CheckMyTrip website has changed

I found the area that you are talking about, clicked on Personal info but 1. it won't even let me edit it 2. i can't add my partners name here. I don't have a middle name, so that is not my problem. My partner does have a middle name but i can't seem to add him anywhere. I am sure i never had...
