    NAB acquires Citibank Aus

    The same just happened to me - got told it has to wait until end of Feb to be able to merge the new NAB ID with the old. So painful! And both my citibank and NAB had the same name and contact details.... arg

    Flight availability to Singapore Return for Singapore F1 GP

    Just did this! Got premium economy with SQ with velocity points one way and then business with SQ with Krisflyer points (from a credit card) the other way. I managed to get these reward tickets only earlier this year for the Singapore GP this year.

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Is there any lounge in Singapore that can be used on arrival? I was reading about the Changi lounge at Jewel but wasn't sure if I could use priority pass on arrival (instead of the more usual departure pre-flight). Has anyone tried? I'm landing in Singapore in the early morning on an economy...

    Aus/NZ Dual Nationality - Smooth Trans-Tasman Travel

    Actually, once the passports are linked - does it then even matter whether you use the Australian passport to travel back from NZ? Could they not process the entry as an Australian (but with the NZ passport) in a similar way to using the NZ passport to exit the country? I'm wondering about the...

    Aus/NZ Dual Nationality - Smooth Trans-Tasman Travel

    I guess like you said it must be something to do with checkin. But i just wonder why the system is set up like that - thought the machines would just be an independent check to make sure you haven't overstayed etc when exiting or had right to entery when coming in.

    Aus/NZ Dual Nationality - Smooth Trans-Tasman Travel

    This seems so strange - so the Smartgates must be linked to info provided by the airlines (that is collected at check-in)? Why would they need to do that? Just seems silly for the machines to not let an Australian out of Australia....

    Transtasman business ticket with NZ domestic leg - lounge access?

    First time flying with AirNZ and will be flying on a business ticket from Australia to NZ - looks like the leg to Auckland would be in business and there are only economy class seats for the domestic leg from Auckland. Does anyone know if I could use the domestic lounge in Auckland? It says...

    QR Privilege Club Gold access to VA domestic lounge?

    It's worked for me just showing my QR Gold card (from phone app) with my VA boarding pass. The lady at the front desk said something about helping me put the QR Gold on my booking but I don't think she did - the points from the flights still went to Virgin (which is what I wanted)

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Thanks that makes sense Was an interesting experience... I was told it was a "policy" and then when I pushed further they pulled out the oneworld lounge policy which said that I should be allowed in. And then they didn't have another explanation but still said no

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    From what I understand - it seems OW Sapphire or above + business class travellers on OW airlines can go to any OW lounge (except for a handful of lounges)? Is there anything we can do if the dragons refuse entry at the lounge? I was flying out of LIN recently flying AY in business (and QF...

    Narita one world lounge

    Sakura lounge at Haneda was very busy with 30+ people queued up for showers. And food still needed to be ordered via a QR code system and took a long time. As OW sapphire can we use the Cathay lounge at NRT?

    Narita one world lounge

    What's the best lounge at Narita airport? I'm flying business with JAL with QF gold. Was recently at the Sakura lounge at HND and that was pretty ordinary.

    Qatar Airways Seat Selection

    It is a little messed up - I checked in online but if you tried to change it to velocity as you check in it won't let you. Velocity isn't an option for frequent flyer program on that screen (it is if you try to change it via the booking itself but not on the check-in webpages). I left it as...

    Qatar Airways Seat Selection

    I recently tried with velocity gold on an economy Qatar flight - no seat selection for my fare type. Had to switch to Qatar gold to get the free seat selection but like others have said it would all disappear if I put velocity back in at a later time. Actually caused problems with points and...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Was travelling on a Qatar economy flight with OW Sapphire status and wanted to get into a Marhaba lounge in Europe that was listed by Qatar and Oneworld as one of the lounges at that airport. Mainly wanted to get in as I was travelling with others in the group who thought they could get into the...
