Have just booked return flights Singapore to Rome for May next year with SA. Is it better to join KrisFlyer? I'm Velocity Silver now so no perks and not using Virgin much anymore. Plan to purchase a one way to Singapore with Scoot as well.

Looking for some advice. A friend is flying Sydney to Narita and booked as 2 separate flights, Sydney to Cairns and Cairns to Narita. Same flight numbers as the direct Sydney to Narita flights, but will there be issues with luggage customs etc? I've done these flights before and I seem to...

Quick question and would be so grateful for an answer as Qantas customer service doesn’t know! I’m trying to book a Rewards flight through my Business Rewards account but don’t have enough points. Apparently I can transfer points from a family member but not from myself!? Is this true??? I have...

Hi all. Have checked the threads on ticketing delays at Qantas, am feeling anxious about a booking made last week. Rewards flight Sydney to Melbourne in busy Melbourne Cup period. Sold out now. Shows up in Qantas FF app and Jetstar manage booking. No itinerary or e-ticket received. No points...

I’ve been waiting on my usual January birthday offers as I need to book a hotel and would like to buy some wine. Seem to recall the email usually arrives early January but this year so far nothing 🙁. Are others still getting the birthday offer? Or a Covid casualty? Is it worth chasing up with them?

Addressing this to all you intrepid travellers who are jetting off into the zombie apocalypse regardless and who have lounge access. I very much enjoy my pre flight lounge visits, including getting a feed and drink or two. Would it be rude to spray sanitiser on your plate and utensils? BYO...

Hi all Wondering about the reliability of getting a Comfort Plus upgrade on Delta if you’re Velocity Gold? Looking at booking flights direct with Delta. Main is Euro 487, Comfort + Euro 757, but when I get to finish booking Main, Comfort + is available for Euro 28 extra. Don’t want to pay extra...

I'm currently looking at Etihad as a cheap way to fly Sydney to London and Dublin to Sydney in April. The 2 nights free hotel accommodation seems attractive as I'd like to break the trip and haven't seen Abu Dhabi before. My question is, do you need to book the flights on Etihad website to...

A bit off topic but have people received last months status credits for shopping at Coles? They have usually arrived by now, nothing for me.

Quick question about transferring points between family members. My son earned 2,600 points recently on a flight to HK and we thought we could transfer to me. But, there is a 5,000 point minimum requirement. Thinking I would transfer points to son's account to bring it over 5,000 than transfer...

Hi all. Appreciate some advice. I'm planning a trip next year to Penang and I'd like to book VA codeshare with Singapore Airlines as I have status with VA and an eye on credits. No problem to book return flights from Sydney using the VA online booking engine. However I've decided I'd like to...

Frustrated Qantas Business Rewards member here. I did not pay to join (luckily!) but feel sorry for those who have. My points for flights and hotels are never posted. I get relentless error messages whenever I use the 'claim missing points' form. My messages to customer service remain...

Hi all. I'm organising a trip to NZ soon, and will do one domestic flight, Queenstown to Christchurch. As I'm VA Gold I could use some status credits and trying to figure out a way of booking a flight that earns. According to Velocity, only fare classes Q, H, M, V, L, G, W, T on Air NZ domestic...

Quick question if I may. Flying AUH to SYD with stopover in MEL with Etihad. Flights are Etihad but Virgin of course will do MEL to SYD. Am I able to use the Etihad Lounge before my ‘Virgin domestic’ flight? It’s part of an international flight with Etihad after all.

Hi all. I'm trying to plan some flights from Sydney to Abu Dhabi for the Dubai World Cup, while maximising my status credits and points with VA/Velocity. Some questions! I've worked out the best way to maximise status credits is to use flight connections in Melbourne and Perth. I can find the...
