thanks MattA & Jase05 , that makes it very clear thanks

Thanks again all to who replied @ MattA thanks for the advice just wondering do Etihad and Qatar operate the same way , as in not all of their reward seats will always appear on VA and you search each of those like SG, would you then have the same inefficiency when you convert miles to EY...

Hi Ozymandis, thank you so much using that link works perfect , one last query , if i search the VA reward section it will bring up any availability be it in EY QR or SG, there is no benefit in searching each airline separately? thanks for all the replies

thank you all for the replies, very helpful. think i will go with expert flyer looks to be easier than KVS, altho i used KVS successfully a long time ok. @ ozymandis thank you for the reply, the links didnt seem to work for me however just one quick question, which hopefull assist the opening...

Hi Sorry to hijack but thought it would be best to consolidate in 1 thread i have almost the exact same situation as Deon 350,000 Points and Platinum looking for a trip to Europe in J. is there any one stop shop to find availability on SG QR and EY, Not sure if anyone here used them but back...

Hi I'm trying to get a flight ex bne to Dublin cork or London , last couple of times I got a connection with QF to Syd /mel to get on the QF flight to London . Few yes previous I went in first in Thai when they were still in star alliance . I tried Qatar but QR Site kept saying I had no...

HI I'm trying to use up the last of my AA miles bought back in 2013 when time were good. I am currently travelling to London monthly with EK. I used to use KVS before to find availability, apologies for a repetitive question (I have spent 3 hrs this morning reading 100pages to hopefully avoid...

How long does the account review period generally last for? Just spoke with Velocity (46min phone call and transferred to 4 different people), my account is due for review on 12th June but flying on 2nd July, how long does it generally take? Regards

What do you do that is FIFO round the world ? I'm doing FIFO australia to ireland for 12months

sorry I searched but could find it, feel free to delete this one (could you find the other one?) Thanks

Hi, Just wondering what everyone does to do some much flying, particularly the international flying ? I've always loved international trips but never really had frequent work trips a couple to north America and png aside. have done a lot of domestic flying for work but not international. do...

Hi The real deciding factor was the existing 150k miles with emirates and 9,300 tier miles (i forgot I had them) so along with the 1 stop to DUB I didn't really explore SQ QF CX much after that, getting lifetime QF gold as someone said i would prob get was tempting tho So some of my swings...

Hi, I've decided to go with Emirates for the following reasons, 1. Left it a little late to explore all options fully (thanks for all the responses and advice on here tho) 2. Emirates Flex Economy Fares with starting balance of 9.300 tier miles, 156,000 skywards miles will give me the...

Hi I just looked up my EK account and I have 155,000miles from a credit card I used to have , along with the 9,300 tier miles I suppose that's the decision made. Any thoughts on will I have any success with op upgrades or similar when I reach platinum status ? Thanks

thanks for the reply, understand the conflict but given the turnaround time the priority is the transit time, and I assume EK/EY have the best transit times. My final end destination is actually southern Ireland so from Dublin I have a 3 hour drive, I can fly into Cork from LHR and be 20min from...

Hi, So I set up a spreadsheet and have come up with the following, noting I have a starting balance of 9,300 tier miles with Emirates vs 0 in Etihad, and used nominal date of 14/9/17 & 21/7/17 as basis of fare costs (I know they will change but haven't got as far as doing each trip costing...

Hi, I'm currently in process of working out best Airline for 14 trips in 12months from BNE to LHR/DUB. The emirates calculator has the tier mileage return at Saver 12,400 Flex 18,600 per return trip but when I actually go to book it , it is giving me the following numbers Saver 7,700 Flex...

hi I started the develop a spreadsheet for each airline, and started with Emirates, but have already come unstuck. Their mileage calculator states than a BNE-DUB return ticket is the following tier miles Saver 12,400 Flex 18,600 but when I actually go price up a ticket it provides the...

Hi thanks for all the replies, yes 12-14 trips is a lot, I work 20 days on : 8 days off so that 13 rotations, I might stay in Australia for one of them. towards the end I will have annual leave accumulated to tag onto the 8 days to make it 10 days for the last 4 trips. Yes its not ideal but its...

thanks I will have a look at that, I have a friend doing same from Perth but he saves 4/5hrs flying time and is only doing 6 trips in 6months and goes with cheapest price each time, I'm hoping I can get some value by doing some planning and working out best return on upgrade or fastest to status...
