    Article: Qatar Airways’ Bizarre Daily Melbourne-Adelaide Flight

    I finally did my DOH-MEL-ADL flight and got off in MEL despite being booked to ADL. I was hand luggage only and experienced no issues. Smart gates worked for both me, an Aus citizen, and my British spouse.

    Can't leave Melbourne Airport During transit??? [DOH-MEL-ADL vv]

    I read that most people are flying this flight to MEL only anyway, so I hardly see how it can be an issue, just go through immigration with them and if asked I have a migraine!

    Long QF layover in DRW

    I did this route yesterday. I got a day room at the Novotel at the Airport for $90 and spent a few hours in the pool and then had a shower and went back to the terminal, its a 5min walk. They don't open the international gate / lounge area until 1.5 hours before the flight, so don't rush back...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Well having completed LHR - SYD in SQ J I am very disappointed. Etihad are miles ahead of SQ. My issues: -Etihad hard product is obviously better. -Etihad dine any time and the food is better. -Etihad Wifi service is better. -Etihad crew are better. I had to ask twice for a water bottle on...

    Re: Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" bonus given thread. Velocity Plat, called to cancel and was only offered the Velocity Escape. I hung up the phone. I have put about 30k over the card in the last 12months. :(

    Anyone else having issues with logging into Velocity today?

    Just made 2 bookings and only got a confirmation email for 1. How long should I wait? Hopefully if I have to call them it isn't difficult, I didn't note the booking reference. Its not in my Velocity account as I booked it for someone else.

    Terrible experience

    Velocity replied, they gave me 8,000 points back. I responded advising that is not good enough given the inconvenience of a time change and downgrade which resulted in me being separated from my partner.

    Terrible experience

    Sorry if I offended anyone regarding my comment about the child, I understand your comments and it was a heat in the moment comment :) An update, I have only received a fairly generic reply from VA who advised they have forwarded it to Velocity and to wait another 10days....
