Hi All, New QF flyer here, changed jobs which came with the requirement to move away from VFF. I have a BNE>SYD>DFW>BNA>DFW>SYD>BNE itinerary booked in Flex Y - Departing Oz 1 Apr, Departing USA 5 Apr. I don't have any kind of points balance, as I'm too new. I am prepared to make some cash...

Hi Brains Trust, Anyone have recommendations based on experience travelling to/from LAX on VA 777 as Plat in Y? I'm usually on paid (work) travel on this route in J, but had to book a last minute Y redemption for a family event. Question: Should I allocate my seat? The reason I ask, is that if...

Hi All, I've had to book a last minute flight, which means it's on flexi, but booked today (Saturday) flying tomorrow (Sunday). Can I use my upgrade certificate via the flight booking call centre which is open on the weekends, or am I stuck?

Hi All, Has anyone bumped up against this transfer limit before? What happens when you do? I can't find anywhere that tells me how many points I've transferred this year, and therefore can't figure out how many I have left before the limit...

Hi all, I'm flying QF LAX>BNE in Y+ early Jan 2018. I'll most likely have about 9 hours to kill at LAX before departing (sigh) and am looking at my lounge options. I have no status with QF or OW, Mr & Mrs deva are both VA gold only. I only hold AMEX Platinum Edge & Explorer cards (So I assume...

Hi Guys, I thought as a lover of Vinomofo, I'd start a thread where we can post what Black Market & Secret deals we receive, to make it easier for others to decide. I'll start off: BLACK MARKET DEAL Shiraz 2016 12pk Haselgrove Bella Vigna McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016 @ $10.50ea...

Good evening brains trust, I'd like to hear how people interpret the family pooling T's & C's: 14.6 A Contributing Account may be linked to a maximum of two (2) new Beneficiary Accounts in any Calendar Year. (emphasis added) 14.7 Once a Contributing Account has nominated a new Beneficiary...

Hi All, I'm hoping that someone who has been around longer than me can give me a history of anytime VA has offered SC earn on award seats as a promotion? Have they done such a thing? more than once? Any details would be greatly appreciated.

CX award on QF - aircraft discrepancy Hi Guys, I have a reward booking on CX booked through QF BNE>HKG>JFK. Since booking it, CX have (supposedly) changed the BNE>HKG leg from an A330 to an A350 (yipee!). If I check the booking details through Qantas it shows the updated aircraft. If I check...

Hi All, I have no experience with upgrading on VA. Specifically I'm interested in long haul. I hear the term wait list being thrown around, how does this work? I assume that you ask to be wait listed, then if the seat gets released it would be assigned in the following order: 1. 'The Club'...

Hi All, I've searched and read every question relating to minimum LAX transit times, but they're all about inbound to LAX from AUS. I'll be coming into LAX from YYZ via SLC. It is my impression that I will clear US customs in YYZ before boarding the plane, hence not needing to do so in SLC for...

Hi All, Just voted in the Freddie awards and I am of the opinion that Velocity will lose their crown in the Best Redemption Ability category after the drying up of AU<>USA availability. Thoughts?

Anyone have experience cancelling a velocity reward booking? How long did it take for your points to re-appear in your account?

A user on the referrals section stated: "as many have taken advantage of, can be owned in conjunction with the Explorer card to have both accounts linked to the MR Ascent program (upgrading the Explorer from MR Gateway)" Is this true? How does it work? Does this mean you get 2ppd everywhere*...

I did some searching and I couldn't find an answer on these forums, so apologies if this has been covered previously. I have J award flights into JFK booked and sorted (BNE>HKG>JFK) so that's all sorted, no issues. Getting home is the problem. I plan to purchase a few revenue domestic flights...

Hi All, Anyone booked a J reward BNE/SYD/MEL>HKG>ORD before? The availability looks patchy, I can't see any sort of pattern (i.e. which days of the week, etc, etc). Would appreciate any advice / experiences. Thanks!

I've been doing some google-flights-ing and it appears that some VA operated fares booked on DL are far cheaper for Y+ than booking through VA themselves. The only problem is, the price comes up and it says 'book through a travel agent', you can't book them online. Has anyone had any success...

I've got a SQ J award flight to Europe booked via Krisflyer. Should I bother changing the frequent flyer detials over to my VFF one? I'm SG on VA, would I receive anything extra?
