Hey guys Just confirming before I book that a Singapore airlines flight booked with cash though the SQ website and with miles credited to velocity then be upgraded from economy to business using kris flyer miles? Thanks Josh

Hi guys Has anyone heard any rumours about VA re-opening their Cairns lounge? Surely they can’t fly their newest route with their newest planes and no lounge access? We are travelling this route in December but I guess given the lead times for lounges and no announcements thus far it is...

Bugger!

Hi I broke my radius when I slipped on ice in NZ on a recent holiday. It was cast over there and I had no out of pocket expenses due to their ACC program which is great. I let my insurance know via email and then called them when I got back to give them a heads up in case anything didn't go...

My son (and I) had an awesome time on our 747 flight. Thanks to everyone who helped out particularly @serfty, @Matt_01 and @Hvr for their much appreciated assistance in making this special trip just a bit more special!!

Thankyou everyone for your support and help! Love the AFF community! Will let you know how we get on!!

We were able to select 16K and J at the time of booking (upstairs at the back). I have no status with QF so many were blocked out for gold/plat and higher. When I go into the change seats option now, however, it says you can’t select seats on this flight. It still shows our seats as 16K and J in...

Hi KSC... I bought about this but the price is a bit higher than I wanted to pay as I don’t think he will get much use out of it yet (he’s 7).... and points wise it’s a comparable spend to the business reward flight ;)

HVR.. Thankyou that would be amazing! I would love a white/red one but if no one has any luck in the next 24h I will jump on it! Thankyou to the AFF community for the support!

Hi guys Slightly weird request but for my sons Xmas present I have got him business class reward seats upstairs on the 747 on one of its rare domestic jaunts between Syd and Melb (positioning flight for QFs flights over Antarctica)! He is going to lose his mind as he is 747 mad and has been...

The upgrades come from the same bucket as the reward seats. No rewards= no upgrades. The benefit of the freedom fare is you can then lock in dates and hope an upgrade comes up knowing you have your tickets sorted. The other option is you can often book saver premium economy for only a small ant...

We went as well as we could hope I think and better than I expected. The bar in business was great as we could go and sit there in the early hours of the morning when the kids woke up (they slept about 6h) and had our dinner and breakfast there to avoid disturbing them. On the way over I was...

I know it’s a risk but if it does happen not much I can do. Since it is a positioning flight for the Antarctic flight I am hoping this is unlikely??? Fingers crossed!

Weird! I could eventually bypass this by electing to hire a car on the side dropdown menu?? It would then let me get past the options page! And they say virgins IT systems have problems! Anyway, all is well that ends well! 2 seats upstairs on a 747 for me and my son!!! Stoked and he will be too...

Hi guys I usually fly with the enemy so haven’t booked through qantas much. I got a family member to transfer 32000 points to me in order to book a business reward for myself and my son on a 747 domestic flight (he is mad keen on the 747 so want to do it before they fissapeat. Business reward is...

MooTime...We travelled that exact route with our 2yo and 6mo recently. The 2yo had a seat, the 6mo was a lap infant. If you are travelling with a partner as well the 2/2/2 layout can actually work well as if you get a window you can kind of trap them by extending the aisle seat. Easier with a...

Energy australia/velocity have ended their tie up from 1/4/19. https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/everyday-essentials/energyaustralia

Sorry... looking a bit further you now don’t get points or SC on trans-pacific flights with AC BUT you do get them on VA codeshares but only 1. On VA codeshare flights between Los Angeles (LAX) to Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. A s such, they can only be booked with a connecting...

Some offer increased points eg. The westpac combo but no international transaction fees on REWARDS card are relatively uncommon. There are only a couple I can think of the coles card, the anz frequent travellers card and the bankwest qantas world MasterCard. There is also 28 degrees (but this...

No... 3%. The only one one in the above list without is the coles MasterCard. Hence why I feel it offers good value with a relatively low annual fee and a reasonable earn rate despite generally low sign up bonuses.
