Been a while since I have hung out around here. Just redeemed some points flights for domestic (seem they're on alliance no less). Since when does VA charge a carrier surcharge for points redemptions? Fare AUD 0.00 Taxes/Fees/Carrier-Imposed Charges AUD 8.63 UO2 (NOTIONAL TAXES) AUD 14.36 WG...

Yeah the challenge is when I've called KF they can see an available reward seat but say they can't book it for me

Hello everyone. Scratching my head here trying to figure out if possible or not. Have a boatload of points with KF and keen to use them on a reward flight South America on Avianca. In short, is it possible to book AV flights (I can see lifemile seats available) using KF points?

Haha no comment.

It is a special fare (not public) that comes with a few restrictions such as not having lounge access.

Hey! I am on QF1 on Saturday but my J ticket happens to not have lounge access. Anyone going to be around and kind enough to let me in at Sydney? (bonus points if anyone is in BNE too!)

This is getting totally ridiculous, peak nanny state. It amazes me the government will act with such disdain towards citizens living overseas. I'm amazed that after the devastating impact COVID has had here in the UK the government here is enacting policy in a far more sensible way than...

It's nice to see people using the term expat and not traveller like we're on some bloody backpacking holiday. I'm booked into Melbourne in November, I wonder if in the case where qld doesn't open up, if I'm ferried off the plane on the army bus to a hotel and then at the end of the quarintine...

Interesting change of tune in the comments here. It's good to see the report acknowledge there is shared blame here. Boeing obviously goes without saying, but the pilots, lion air and the parts supplier are all contributors to this. Many many people took a number 2 on the bed here. Lion air...

Shhhh don't tell them!! ;)

Bugger! my mate called today and one of our flights on a weekend away soon is with TC. I thought we had avoided it! Annoyingly alternative flights don't line up for this trip and scheduling, and we've already paid for hotels and flight in the other direction. Even with insurance (I'm one of...

I used to be on optus before moving overseas and would often have issued with their DNS. Sounds a lot like this. Try changing to the google DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

Unfortunately trading while insolvent is nowhere near as black and white as it seems at face value. A simplified version of events is TC needed £900m of credit and they had arranged that. However the supposed late addition to this negotiation was that TC needed to arrange a £200m working...

I am currently living in the UK and ex AU travel industry. The flagship travel insurance sold to customers in Oz does not cover insolvency in the retail policy but it does in the business policy (and staff discount policy which used the Business policy wording). Over here in the UK it is often...

Anyone know what's going on exLAX at the moment?

Hey brains trust! I have been looking for and reading a bunch of info around status matches and they seem to be hard for VA Gold members. I have just moved to Europe where VA means bugger all. Has anyone had any success getting status matches over this corner of the world?

if only i had 5 friends.....

I am reading bits around the internet including this thread and two things stand out, wondering what the pilots around here think.... First, a few articles suggest the natural reaction is to thumb the trim and pull back on the stick in this situation, cancelling out MACS. Is that true? Do you...

FFS Transferred the exact amount of points I needed to do my plans. Maybe I'll ask sq to comp me the 35% to go back to VFF.
