We have a honeymoon coming up in Oct, and we're departing MEL on EK405. I've taken a look at the "virtual cabin" on the Emirates website, and it looks like in seats 1E and 1F (which we're currently booked into) might be completely enclosed cabins - and therefore it wouldn't be possible to talk...

At check-in this morning I was extremely happy to be advised that the new lounge would be open today for the first time. I was excited to try it. That is the end of the happy story. There was zero signage anywhere in the terminal, I had to ask two seperate staff in the duty free shop where it...

Can I just say, the Qantas new "Text Us" service is frikkin unbelievable. Like, SOOOOOOOOOO amazing. I'll never call QF again. Ever. I had an award booked BNE-MEL-SIN-HKT all in one day. I originally wanted F MEL-SIN but there was no availability, so I booked J the whole way and patiently...

Chapter 1 : The bargain flights Mr Scubabe normally works from home In late 2017 he had to travel to the office for the first time in months He was sat in the car driving in and listening to Spotify This all happened 3 days before we got Spotify Premium, so sadly for his ears but luckily for...

Hey all, Just posting this as an FYI to others. I searched and couldn't find it posted anywhere else. Wyndham Hotels are doing an offer where if you stay for 2 nights in any of their properties (and they don't have to be consecutive nights) you can get 15,000 bonus Wyndham reward points - which...

Hi all, After copping a DVT earlier this year and getting a 12 month grounding from flying anywhere, I'm gagging to book an O/S trip. My OH is off to Japan for 2.5 weeks in January on a trip with friends that I was supposed to be on too, only I had to cancel as wasn't allowed to fly :( So to...

I have two options for coming home from our CHC dinner in March. I can buy an NZ ticket for $397, or the VA ticket for $424. As I'm VA gold, and will have my partner with me, I'd like for us to have lounge access in both CHC and AKL on the way home. Can I buy the NZ ticket, put my Velocity FF...

I have a $930 travel bank balance (from cancelled flights), and a $50 Virgin voucher (can't even remember what I did to get that, but it was a bonus for spending or something I think?). I'm trying to book seats to NZ and pay with both the travel bank and the voucher, I will then have $5 balance...

Hi all, I've just gotten myself a brand spanking shiny new Expert Flyer subscription :) I've got some money in a Virgin travel bank that I want to use up, I'd like to visit family in NZ in September. I've looked at the costs of flying over and back in Business but I'd be out of pocket a fair...

Hi all, I don't usually fly Qantas but I have two flights booked for next week CNS-BNE. I paid for these using points+pay during a sale where it was actually more cost effective to do it that way than to get reward seats and pay the stupid QF taxes. Unfortunately this awesome train journey...

Hi all, I will be Gold with Velocity next weekend after my Hobart status run is complete, which means (I believe) that I get Gold Hilton HHonours membership too. I am planning a trip to Fiji in September and have been looking at resorts, have found this place: Fiji Resorts - DoubleTree Resort...

Silver and Gold members can apply 24 hours before the flight for a free upgrade to Comfort Plus (depending on availability obviously), and Platinums can apply 72 hours out. I have two questions and I'm wondering if anyone here has experience and can answer? 1. How exactly do I do this? On...

I'm just about to make a one-way flight booking using QFF points. Is this really correct? This seems insane to me? Brisbane - Bundaberg one way Classic Award booking costs 8,000 QFF points + $52 in fees & taxes etc. And I don't earn any QFF points or SC However if I book a Red E-deal the cost...

Hi all, About 6 months ago I booked two Virgin flights for my partner and I to travel BNE-MIA in April 2016 with Webjet. They were cheap, and I think they are called a "saver" fare, so I was not expecting them to be refundable. Unfortunately, due to one of us being a lying cheating scumbag...

Hi all, I've been reading and learning as much as possible about FF programs and the like over the last two months and I'm still a little lost and would appreciate some direction. Myself and partner have (between us) 154k Velocity points. We have a trip to Miami booked for April 2016 (we're...

Hi all, Found AFF after some googling and what a brilliant resource! I've learned loads, and even used a member's link to get one of those Velocity Amex cards and hopefully will net myself 110,000 points (plus 20 for the person who's link I clicked on!). We're off to Miami next year on a...
