I flew LAX-BNE as a Plat in J, 1 week ago. Made it through security by 6pm, to be told the EY lounge opened at 6.30pm! Figured to try my luck at the Star Alliance business lounge round the corner. They scanned the boarding pass, light turned green, and they let me in. Ate some food there...

After experiencing long-haul business class, the only way I could do economy would be in the bulkhead or exit row! Yes I did pay for the space+, as I booked after the seat maps changed (although the base fare was very cheap, otherwise I could have reconsidered). I believe it should be a free...

Was just on this flight a week ago, had 21 ABC over and 20HJK on the way back I can confirm that 21ABC/DFG and 20HJK have bassinet spots (these are technically bulkhead seats, and the bulkhead has mounting points for the bassinets).

Not a whole lot of international travel, but in 2015 when I was Gold: - LAX-BNE on VA, had upgraded from Flexi Y to PE with points already. New J boarding passes given for the 2 of us (both Gold) at the transfer desk. No reason given and I didn't ask! - BNE-AUH on Etihad, booked in J and was...

Went back and checked the intinerary email timestamp, and it was 3.13pm EST. So maybe 3pm EST? I know I checked at 1pm EST earlier that day, and there was nothing

I believe there will be certain periods when no J reward seats are released at all eg I couldn't find any seats for the June/July school holidays. Sometimes reward seats will be released a few days before the flight, so that may be your best chance.

I've managed to secure a J reward seat BNE-LAX-BNE in August/September next year. My strategy was to check every day, and book two separate one-way tickets. And there's still plenty remaining in August/September. Guess I got lucky that I was in a position to book so far in advance. Just...

Yes, I called up recently and managed to get them to reduce the annual fee to $350. They weren't willing to waive it entirely. I average several k a month through the card, no Citigold. Made a point of complaining about the reduction in points transfer rates, and cutting of some benefits.

This link has some info about the preferred seats https://pro.delta.com/content/deltapro/en_US/policy-library/seat-programs/preferred-seating.html Although not specifically mentioned, I've found that if you have status with Velocity (Gold/Plat, not sure about Silver), you should be able to...

If you ticket includes the DL flights (on a VA code), then you should be able to input your VA booking reference (a 6 letter code) into the DL website, along with your first and last names as per the ticket. It should then bring up your flights, and that page should have the Delta booking...

Points and SCs for my EY flights came through earlier this week. This was for flights on Dec 19th! So just over 2 months. Which is a little longer than the 4-6 weeks they are quoting. I did send emails to the retro claims email address every few weeks enquiring, so that may have helped.

Would you be better off cancelling and rebooking? I've cancelled these 2-for-1 flights, and they charged the saver cancellation fee as expected ($80), with credit to my travel bank. However, it still counts as having used the 2-for-1 sectors Also, maybe try a different rep? Should work as...

Booked direct with Etihad in J. Flights were 1 month ago and VA status and number was definitely noted on the boarding pass. I've read that Etihad often oversell, esp Y. On BNE-AUH and AUH-BNE, I was told it was a very full flight and op-upped to F (one on check-in, one at the gate). On...

I believe it's 2 ANZ rewards points per dollar for the Visa. The conversion is 2 ANZ rewards points = 2 Velocity points. Therefore 1 Velocity point per dollar.

I think the Citibank website is a little confused due to announced changes in conversion rates. The current earn rate of Citi Prestige is 1.33 pt/$, decreasing to 1 pt/$ in March. ANZ Rewards Black is currently 1 pt/$, but it's possible they will change the rate, as none of the big banks have...

BNE-AUH on Dec 3rd, and AUH-LHR on Dec 4th. So overall it's very quick compared to what some are reporting from Etihad. Arrived home yesterday, so I'll have to wait another 2 weeks to submit a retro claim for the return. I also found out that the using the VFF website won't let you submit a...

Thanks for the advice in this thread. Not surprisingly, my Etihad booking BNE-AUH-LHR failed to show up. I submitted a retro claim at exactly 2 weeks after these flights, and sent in my boarding pass and eticket receipt by email at the same time. Both flights posted this morning. This is...

Back in July, I was checking business reward availability on BNE LAX daily. I'd already upgrade to PE with points, but I was hoping a business seat would become available. About 48-72 hours before the flight, 2 business reward seats appeared so I snapped them up immediately. They even waived...

I have successfully used Citi Prestige to pay stamp duty in QLD, and received the correct number of points.

I had a call back from Citibank to confirm the change back to the old rate, effective from Saturday. Interestingly, I asked about notification of future changes. The rep said we would be notified...in the coming weeks. So I believe the changes are just around the corner. Better transfer...
