Re: Historic Turkey (and 5 airports!), finishing in Muscat,Oman. QF, QR and WY J, TK Such a fantastic trip report! We were there in 2013 and loved it, so seeing your photos and reading your stories makes me want to go back. We are flying through IST in a month and I now regret not making it a...

Ahh I didn't realise you were going too!! You'll beat us to it. :D 16 weeks until MP for us (but only 10 until our adventure begins) so I've really enjoyed this report. Thank you very much for sharing Amaroo!

My bonus Velocity points have just posted, after I had lost all hope of getting them! I would say that if you applied before the deadline you will eventually get the bonus points...

If you are like me and need some inspiration for that RTW trip you've been planning, then this article on 10 of the Best Value Locations for Australian Dollar Travelers in 2016 from Bootsnall could not have come at a better time! I was glad to see that my home country (yes, Romania does not...

Hi JohnM, I am sorry for the confusion, which is probably due to a) me being new at this, and b) the disconnect between what is in my head and how I put it in writing (in a language that is not my first, but my third). I agree that . I am hoping to book a Business class RTW with either *A or...

It did cross my mind that it might be a fare class issue, thank you for confirming. From what I noticed when trying to price the ticket, some legs are in D, others in Z, and there is a surcharge for certain types of aircraft (there was another one apart from the A380, but I do not remember...

Thank you everyone for your time and very helpful comments, I really appreciate it! I am still playing with the itinerary, and trying several combinations using the online booking tool. (It sounds like the *A and OW tools are very similar.) The one thing that confuses me is that when trying to...

Not sure if this is of interest, but I was on the Virgin America website and noticed that they have partnered with Airbnb. "Now you can earn Elevate® points for your Airbnb trips. Enter your Elevate number below to earn 1 point per $1 spent on every booking through Virgin America... First time...

Thank you JohnM. We are definitely looking at using all 16 sectors. We have no One World points and no status. Should we decide to pay cash for both tickets, would you recommend the One World RTW or the *A one?

The reason I was leaning towards getting at least one paid ticket, was to build some miles to redeem later. Your suggestion to get 2 paid tickets actually got me thinking. We have the cash for it now, and who knows if we will or not in the future, so it would be good to have those points up our...

Good morning and happy hump day Here is an early question to get you going :) Does anyone know, or is there a way to calculate what a *A RTW in J would earn on average, in both points and SCs? We have enough points for 1 award ticket in J (will be transferring most of my 400K VA points to...

Thank you Steady! I was just reading an article about earning Elevate points for Airbnb stays and I was contemplating sharing it on here somewhere, so I might be on the right track! :)

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!

Welcome and good luck with your travel plans! :D

Hello all! I was just reading through the latest introductions and thought to myself "I still haven't done one of them, I'd better get on to it!". I haven't done it before because I am a bit shy :oops: and I also think "what could I say that hasn't already been said", but here I am! So bear...

Welcome and have lots of fun around here!

Hello, I recently reached Gold on VA and I will be travelling SQ (in Y... ) to Norway, via Singapore and Frankfurt. I also hold a Bankwest More World Platinum Card, which comes with Priority Pass lounge access. What would be the best way to take advantage of this? I have 8hrs in Singapore and 4...

I was very happy to see this new partnership and I was looking forward to start using it. However, we have a fleet card, so we don't qualify... Such a shame. I would have rather used BP, but I guess we will continue to use Shell, where they accept flybuys even with fleet cards...
