Just noticed that Jetstar now appears to be bookable through Amex Travel online. Flights are showing without fare options e.g. to book a bundle, so you're stuck with the Starter fare and you can't seem to add baggage. They're also pricing around $6-7 higher (there's a $5 tax listed) regardless...

This is similar to the QF KUL-BKK saga of 2018 but from a redemption perspective rather than earn. The VA mileage calculator has Sydney to Melbourne as 456 miles. Great Circle has this at 439 miles - a difference of 17 miles. Now of course this on it's own won't cause any dramas, after all zone...

Was just looking at the points tables at: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Redeem/Airlines/PointsTables/ Looks like there's a new carrier charge for reward bookings from 1 January 2019. Incredibly disappointing especially for premium/business to LAX.

Just curious.. Why doesn't Singapore operate an overnighter out of Sydney? They have one out of Brisbane, Melbourne and even Perth so you wouldn't think it's a demand issue... It could leave around 10:30pm (before curfew of course) and get into Singapore around 5am? SQ211 currently gets into...

To my knowledge, VA804 6:30am Syd to Mel (just on Mondays) is the only triangle flight operated by Virgin's A330. On that note, say you're booked on a Flexi fare, would you consider using 4900 points on an upgrade to 'the business' to be a good use of points on this flight? I did so...

I'm curious to know if there are any le club platinum members who would go out of their way to stay at a Pullman hotel on the basis of complimentary lounge access over a Sofitel in Sydney and Melbourne (where as we all know, the complimentary lounge access benefit is excluded). I.e. Pullman on...
