Hi everyone, After being blocked from travel due to a dodgy employer, and then COVID, I am now travelling regularly again for work. At least once every two months, I travel from Newcastle to Townsville or Cairns via Brisbane. However, I also do 3-4 domestic flights to Adelaide, Perth and...

For a company that is in the guts of financial trouble, you'd think Virgin would actually be wanting people to give them their money. My in-laws, wife and I have each tried to make the following bookings on separate devices in separate locations. NTL-MEL in the week after Christmas...

Hi everyone, The family and I are flying NTL-MEL on Jetstar in a months time. I booked using my QFF points, and today I got the dreaded "We've made some changes to your booking" email. My options are either to take the booking change which means lugging my 3 y/o and 3 m/o on a flight departing...

Hi everyone, Anyone else finding that there is a long wait for FF points and status credits being added to their account? I’m still waiting for points from a trip CBR-ADL-CBR earlier this month and again after a trip yesterday CNS-SYD-CBR, I have been credited with the SYD-CBR leg, but the...

Hi all, I'm flying Malaysia Airlines Business class on Monday and am tantalisingly close to having enough points to purchase an upgrade from DRW-SYD-CBR (2,000 shy), which I will fly on Thursday. Will I earn the points in time to cash in the upgrade? Thanks, Baj

Hi all, I recently booked a Qantas flight from CBR - DEL with a 5 hour layover in Bangkok (BKK). All booked through Qantas, with the final leg of BKK - DEL being a codeshare operated by Jet Airways. According to the Qantas site, the Qantas affiliated lounge is the Louis Tavern Lounge on...

Hi all, I am flying into Bhutan on Druk Air next month on a Business Class ticket. Does anyone know if they have lounge access in Delhi? I've Googled and Bing'ed to my hearts content and can't seem to find anything. Secondly, I am flying on a 3K (Jetstar Asia) flight ex. KL on my way back from...

Hi all, Here's an interesting one for you - I am flying domestically on a couple of QF flights in the coming fortnight and have noticed that all the seats in the front half of the plane are unavailable. Am I seriously that late in reserving seats and they're all gone, or is there a policy where...

Hi all, In the past I have been able to land a random stopover and it cost no more than the straight leg. For example adding in 24 hour stopovers in Singapore and Doha on the way to London cost less than a straight Sydney-Doha-London route on Qatar and in 2013 I landed a stopover in Rome flying...

Hi all, I've been very fortunate to receive some funding to do a small (2-3 week) round of study in China next year. Once my host university confirms dates, I need to be super quick in booking flights to ensure time off work, etc. Looking at the approximate dates on the Qantas site, I came...

Hi AFF family, Well - thanks to the economy and shrinking work opportunities, come next month I will see my Qantas FF status reduced down to Bronze for the first time since 2011 :(. Seeing as flying Qantas won't carry the usual perks of lounge access and the like, I am taking stock of my...

Hi all, As a follow-on to my post in the other forum regarding my QF vs Velocity scenario I am signing my wife up for Velocity and noticed there is now a promo code option. Any idea what these are or how to obtain one? Thanks!

Howdy everyone, Long time no post for me - essentially my travel got curtailed by getting married and an interstate client going into liquidation. Anyway, I am looking for some advice regarding where my loyalty should lie with the two majors. I was a big Virgin fan and flyer (silver status)...

Hi all, I am off to Europe for a month on a family trip. I am travelling with my aged (not necessarily elderly) mother. We are eyeing off some short trips ex. Geneva & Paris. I have done a bit of research and found that some of the oneworld carriers (e.g. Airberlin) are massively over-priced...

Hi all, First time poster and member here - joined because I tend to take 10-15 trips per year for work (at least 2 international) and wanted to get the most out of my flying experience. I work fulltime in education, have a lot of family interstate and also run a side-business that requires...
