I already have a few passport wallets (and don't fly Virgin), so - free to a good home. Just pay postage. :) It's genuine leather, hasn't been used, and has a "Velocity Frequent Flyer" logo embossed on the front. Cheers Febs.

Hi all, About to book a trip to Delhi in Feb for my wife and I, but before I do, I just want to make sure I've covered all options and figured the brainstrust would know! :) Basic requirements are: - OneWorld for at least the majority of the trip - Ideally one ticket (though flexible if...

Hi all, 5 day trip coming up to Singapore (guess where I booked the tickets?) so looking at travel insurance options. I don't have an annual policy because most of my travel is for work, and when we do take longer personal trips, we use my work travel insurance (which is fantastic, reliable...

MiM deals are usually pretty good at $33, but with $13 cash back (max of 3 per card member) - even better :) https://amexnetwork.com.au/marchmerivale Cheers Febs.

Hi all, Did a brief search but couldn't find a definitive answer on this one. I have an AMEX Plat Charge card due for renewal soon. I also have the free associated Plat Reserve card. I'm planning on calling to cancel the Charge card (even though they reduced the annual fee last year, I can't...

Hi all, (Apologies if this has already been answered...) I'm looking at flying ZQN-AKL-SYD in January, and the price difference between booking JQ ZQN-AKL (via jetstar.com) and QF AKL-SYD (via the Qantas.co.nz website because you can't book from the AU website - WTF?) separately is about the...

Hi guys, I realise this probably sounds like a rookie post, but after having done 4 x RTW trips in the past 4 years, my wife and I find ourselves stuck for ideas for our next holiday - mainly due to a few limiting factors. Firstly, having taken all those trips previously, I'm now on a...

OK this is partially a rant...but is it just me, or is the Malaysian Airlines website really, really terrible? Ignoring the fact that it looks like it was designed in the 90s, and much of the functionality (e.g. mileage calculator) is "in progress... I recently signed up for Enrich (I had a...

OK bear with me here, I haven't stumbled onto the wrong forum by mistake... ;) As I mentioned in another thread, I've got another work trip to KL coming up in May, including a weekend by myself. Due to the fact that 1) There's not a whole lot to do in KL and 2) I've pretty much done all the...

Hi all, Well it was bound to happen eventually...after 6 years of managing to keep all my travel on OneWorld (or at least, all my major trips), supplementing with Priority Pass lounge access for the few short-haul routes that OneWorld airlines don't service...I've now got a trip coming up...

Hi all, As promised in the link below back in Dec, this thread is going to be about an AA status run that I'm currently on. I figure I'll be spending a fair bit of time in Admiral's Clubs with not much else to do...so why not? :) To be honest it's probably going to be a pretty boring thread...

Hi all, flying out of LHR in a few days, and can't seem to find the opening hours for the T5 F lounge anywhere! BA's website is useless, and the OW site simply says "until last departure". I've only been once before but that was around 7am...am hoping to arrive around 6am this time (Sunday) -...

Hi all, Tricky baggage question I'm hoping someone may be able to shed some light on! My wife and I are currently on an award explorer (140k pt RTW) - I'm WP she's NB. We have two AA Y sectors (JFK-LAS and LAS-LAX) and at that point the luggage will be looking pretty full. Reading the AA site...

Hi all, Pretty specific question, but if anyone is travelling Internationally from SYD/MEL in the next few days, and has time as they pass through duty-free, could you let me know how much the 50mL miniatures of Chivas are? I need to buy quite a few, so just trying to work out if there's a...

Hi all, Honeymoon is fast approaching (:D) and as bookings have been a mix of QFF points, hotel points, direct with TAs and direct with airlines, I just want to make sure we've covered everything for the places we're visiting (which are a mix of places we've been like HK and NY, and new places...

Thought everyone might enjoy this! From a friend who works at SYD. ..as a side note - CX flight with rego "BLAH"?? Cheers and Merry Christmas Febs.

Anyone else get this? I've got a few months left in my membership year and am a bit short of re-qualifying for Platinum. Got a double SC's offer which lasts 3 months, but only for new bookings (I have quite a few bookings in that period, but pre-existing ones). I can cancel and re-book some...

I'm not by any means looking a gifthorse in the mouth here (go back and see my posts about how I think this is a very generous offer from QF :)), but I'm finding it a bit tricky to find flights... The e-mail I got says: Key word there being "any". The e-mail goes on to say "subject to...

As some of the longer term members might remember, just over 4 years ago I posted a thread about a colleague (NB at the time) receiving an op-up during OLCI. At the time, it seemed it was almost unheard-of. Well, 4 years later, it happened to me - MEL-SYD. :) I selected my usual 23B at about...

Hi all, (I'm asking here because the AMEX team that handle the flights are only in 9-5:30pm, and I know I'll get a quicker answer here because let's face it, members here tend to know more than most credit card companies ;)) I took out an AMEX Platinum charge card in Jan this year, and the...
