Does anyone know when the Virgin High flyer Card fee is charged? Is it at the end of 12 months or straight away?

I'm still buying aeroplan miles. The issue is that to grab a seat/itinerary you want, you need to book 11-12 months out if you can. And you need to have the miles available. I was looking to book a BC round trip to europe next May and I could find good availability on SQ for the return but not...

Depends if you fly mostly domestic or international. If domestic and status benefits are important to you then I'd do VA. Otherwise maintaining a gold membership with Krisflyer is very useful for international travel on any of the *Alliance member flights. And yes, status on VA does give you...

There certainly is availability for the DOH->EUR leg. Just saw some for DOH->FCO, DOH->LHR, DOH->ATH etc available to VA - just nothing from AUS (syd,bne,per,mel,adl) to DOH

Thanks - yes poor choice of words on my behalf. I was thinking about linking the PNRs. QQ if I can - what/who is "AIUI"?

yes exactly. just to add to that, I also checked when picking my seat that there were no other allocated seats in J so as to maximise the chance of snagging another seat

Just whether I'm over thinking this.... I booked a reward ticket SQ SYD->SIN return, and a separate SQ SIN->MLE return ticket which is a connection to the first to get SYD->MLE. Should I try and get these combined - if that makes any difference? thanks

haven't read the whole thread but I concur that there is some "new" behaviour by VA only releasing 1 reward ticket at a time. I was looking for 2x J reward tickets SYD->PER next Feb. Only 1 available on every flight in/out. So I booked a return ticket hoping another would become available. It...

not sure if I'm reading it correctly either but does the "First..." in the description mean these are First Class seat lookups? Had a quick look on seats.aero and couldn't find any J reward seats around that time except for Jetstar on 8/2/24

Just going through this now with my Aeroplan points. Got direct J tickets Milan->SIN->SYD for June next year. Going over I wanted SYD->Palermo in May 24, ended up with a stopover in Dubai as nothing else was coming up so did a separate SYD->SIN booking (J), then a SIN->DXB->IST->PMO (J) with SQ...

yep same here. Review date is still 28 Feb 24 with expiry 13 March 24. Maintaining status...

Nope that's not it... I can see UA availability

I know this isn't UA but it may be related. I booked some redemption flights for SIN->MLE - I had enough points for the booking and it showed me a range of availability. I've now consumed those points and when I now go back to see what's available for the same dates I can't see any availability...

Hi - am wondering if I have status with Virgin, then I assume I can get into the Gold Lounge in Singapore, but can I use SIA partner lounges where they don't have their own? e.g. flying to Maldives (Male) which has a SIA partner lounge (Leeli Lounge), can I use that one as a VA WP?

This happened to me on VA on my BME->PER flight in July this year. Was booked in J on a 737-800 (I think it was that type), and then they emailed me saying that it was now a Regional 320 all economy. It was too late to change dates as I had hotel and other bookings to link up with.

After having tried pretty much all of them, I now prefer 1D/1F for my wife and me. Row 1 I think is more comfortable for a couple as the person on the window can get in/out without bothering the person on the aisle. Also, 1D has the bulk head a bit wider than 1C, which is more comfortable when...

also on my flight they gave me one set of biscuits for the cheese plate. When I asked for extra, they said they will have to check, and after at least 10 mins came back with a "no"... 1665553890 This is my issue with UA... if you haven't flown with them before how do you know what to ask for? I...

Just returned from a flight where we did SYD->LAX on Polaris. Hard product was pretty good. Seat was ok but not great - my wife (5' 2") couldn't get her leg support part of the seat to be comfortable. Flat bed was tight at the toe end for me (6'). Service... well let's just say it wasn't the...

Ah there is a simple solution. On the 28degree site it says the following: If you don't receive a security code, this may mean that the mobile number that is registered to your account is not up to date. You can still proceed with your transaction by selecting the button "I didn't receive a...

I don't know how this would work? I would need to turn on roaming with my provider right? Then turn off what? I'm worried that once roaming is on, I will get phone calls etc which will incur charges.
