Thanks that's good advice. Probably economy on the first leg and if I was able to find a seat, then Business for the Sin-LHR segment. Because my dates aren't live yet I can't tell if there is any awards Saver B Class availability. If I find some I'll have to hurriedly transfer some AMEX points...

As I want to stay a couple of nights in Singapore I assumed I would have to make 2 bookings. On the Virgin website it doesn’t seem to give a multi city option for international flights, just domestic ones.

I’m hoping to go to the uk in December and I have enough Velocity points to get me from either Mel to Sin (29,000 points plus taxes) or Sin to LHR (50,000 plus taxes) but not both. I also have about 400k Amex points and I’m in a quandary as to whether to transfer some of them to Velocity or to...

Thanks. Great info everyone.

Hi everyone, Apologies if this has been answered somewhere, I searched in the various threads but couldn't find an answer. Next year in April we are going with Etihad to Europe in Economy. We are happy to buy extra leg room seats on the longer MEL - AUH -MEL legs although at $225 per person per...

I have just paid an enormous tax bill with Sniip (using my Amex card) and found it very simple. The app is easy to use and to set up your account. Paying with Amex via Sniip does incur fees (1.5%) but it meant I was able to accrue Amex points. I crunched the numbers and for me the fee was...

I'm sorry, I'm obviously being a bit thick re this. But I didn't know that Emirates can't be used on a oneworld reward! I flew on points AMS-MEL in First class on Emirates on points 2 weeks ago. 16-Mar-2022 CLASSIC FLIGHT 1 ADT REF 53NISY -227,500 Would it be that my original booking may...

Ohh yes that could be an option, would need to get more time off work. But E1206/ A$1,785 in taxes one way is hard to swallow . I just flew back AMS-MEL in First Class 2 weeks ago with Emirates and the taxes were E882/ A$1,304. They must have gone up again.😠

Yes, it's not great value but I really want to at least fly the long segment in J class (tricky back!) even if I have to fly economy for the short leg. But unfortunately there were no J class seats on offer for that first segment. I know Emirates & Qatar have high taxes but none of the other...

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to book some Qantas J Class rewards seats in April next year from Melbourne. Into Casablanca on the 4th April and out of Barcelona on the 29th or thereabouts. I'll do it s 2 separate tickets. Can't find anything in J to Casablanca so I'll keep looking everyday but I...

No but I'd be thrilled if it has been. I shall standby.

Don't even!

Oooh that's interesting. I'm flying on QF 9 from Mel -LHR on 24th May. I just got an email moments ago from Qantas saying there had been an itinerary change and my flight now left at 3.15pm not 2.30pm. I guess that means I'm going via Perth now. Is it marginally shorter to go via Perth or same/same?

I'm sorry, this is probably not the right place to ask this but it is sort of related. I'm off to Europe in 3 weeks. Into UK with Qantas and out of Amsterdam with Emirates. i know we have to wear masks on the plane but do they have to be N95 masks or just normal surgical masks? I couldn't find...

Hi Everyone, I was just on the QF FF website kicking tyres and looking to see if I could get a more direct flight to Milan than I have already (I used the multi city search function). Got very excited to see an EK fight that would get me there with 1 stop and I had the choice of choosing First/...

No, unfortunately I couldn’t choose my seat on manage my booking via either the app or the website. Annoying.

I waited hours and hours to be connected to a call centre yesterday. The initial message said a 2 hour wait but it took 6.5 hours to be finally connected to South Africa. I lucked into someone who was able to assist me with both my queries: 1. Following up as to why I hadn’t received my points...

In the end I ditched that idea as too complicated and was lucky to find a J Class Melb- LHR -LIN which suited because I think the UK have ditched most of their transit rules. I'll still keep looking for a one stop option with Qatar or Emirates (unlikely but I'll keep trying). Good luck...

No, only 1 pax.

Yes the ticket has been issued. I'm a only bronze FF so maybe @encryptededdy you are right and I don't have access yet to choose a seat. Weird though because on the return flight (with emirates I can choose my seat). But I will not spend 3 hours on the phone calling Qantas to try and choose a...
