Čestitam, yes I got my citizenship last year. I got my passport in about a month. I haven't had the chance to use my visa free access to China yet. As my grandmother was born in Pancevo which was Hungary at the time. I could be eligible for Hungarian citizenship but I got some push back from...

Is JH leaving because Qatar, Singapore, or ANA are going to purchase Virgin Australia? I could have added AirNZ but I we've been down that path before.

The problem with this view, is the Australian government and the passports office in particular are so inefficient that that they probably still losing money at this price. I believe that the Korean government is losing less money providing a free digital service than Australia loses charging...

Australia charged me more in apostille fees than Serbia charged me for citizenship. I also needed an apostilled marriage certificate from Korea. I logged into the Korean Supreme Court (the registrar of family records), requested the document and sent it to the apostilles app and printed the...

110k here. Should I chance buying points with 100% bonus and see if that extends my status?

When Hyundai Card (formerly Diners Club Korea) stopped issuing Diners Club in 2017 there were a few years where you couldn't get Diners in Korea. Woori Bank started issuing Diners over a year ago but increased the annual fee from ₩50,000 to ₩300,000. I can't see anyone taking over Diners in...

Perhaps Vanessa could take a leaf from the book of Tony Fernandes (Air Asia) and join the ground and customer staff at least once a month. I remember Tony wouldn't buy some baggage handling equipment because it was too expensive. After joining the baggage staff for one shift loading bags onto...

It's time to end the Jetstar experiment. Unfortunately, Qantas management uses better than Jetstar as a measurement instead of competing with leading airlines. This would allow better aircraft flexibility, particularly if economy-only aircraft are eliminated. Refund all travel credits now. That...

NAB was exclusive with Visa which wouldn't allow the Diners/Mastercard relationship to continue. The question is who would take over Diners in Australia? Would Discover enter the market directly?

My 10 am flight SYD to BNE was cancelled with the replacement flight being 5 pm. Fortunately, the hotel allowed a late checkout but I'm sure Brisbane Airport parking will severely punish us for leaving almost 7 hours late. Of the last 6 Virgin flights, one was on-time, one was delayed by 20...

I dealt with Ansett in the mid 1990s and remember they always wanted to pay in flights for everything, even tables at business lunches. Of course I being young and predominantly drunk at that time didn't link that to a shortage of cash, so i kept paying my Golden Wing renewals. I always...

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. We (3) are booked to fly Korean Air from Sydney later this month and I was hoping to take advantage of priority check in and security as Mrs Korea has insisted we are flying scum class as it's a day flight. If (when) I don't get lounge access, my...

I applied on the evening of 18 February with Virgin Gold and got my Delta Gold status on the evening of 19 February.

I understand my views on airport security may not align with the majority, however, I believe it has gone too far in the attempt to provide an illusion of safety. However, if we have to have security, airports should at least install adequate scanners instead of the cheapest they could buy...

On Google I found a forum (can I name it here?) where people were saying if you are transiting and have proof or vaccination, you can enter the Pier lounge without the Hong Kong Covid-19 App. However, If you are boarding from Hong Kong you need the Hong Kong Leaving Home Safe (LHS) App. If you...

I'm watching with interest as I've booked a cheap J trip for the family BNE-ICN in June. We've got 7 hours on the way but my big concern is the 14 hours overnight on the return unless I change to ICN-HKG-MEL-BNE for the return but that would mean a 55 minute transfer in HKG.

You're convincing me. I'd feel the same way I feel about missing Concorde. In the early 2000s British Airways had an around the world special for £4k including an upgrade on Concorde between LHR and JFK and I didn't think that was a wise way to spend $12k so I'd wait. So much for that.

We've booked CX J to Seoul in June and I am considering a side trip to BEG. When checking fares I've noticed the cheapest J fare (<$3.2k) is LH in their 747-400. I have a soft spot for the 747 but is this painful nostalgia? I think the upper deck is the best place to sit although 4D looks...

I hope this is an update so we can select seats on QR, SQ and I assume other non-VA redemptions.

A hard no, as I am fat and tall. If I were single and offered the chance to sit between 2 supermodels, I may consider it which proves I am a masochis_ but not enough to sit in the middle seat. The prizes Virgin is offering look great but I'd rather dream about the $160 million I won't win on...
