    Reduction in Transfer Rates to Velocity/Krisflyer

    Let me add myself to the chasing Citi crowd. Nothing but blank surprise over the phone but have followed up with email and F-book. Happy to be a part of the daveozsydney team as well. Props to the big man for getting this moving.

    Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

    Hello all and thanks for running this very useful thread. This one is a long way off but I am getting a very odd seat map from QF for JNB on QF63 19.7.14. Looks like it is an old aicraft with the F cabin but the business layout is just weird with nothing on the starboard side of the aircraft...

    CB Rewards Platinum 2:1 VA, SQ KF / VA now [was 15K:10K]

    So I read this last night and setup the Citi ap on my Android tablet. I then moved 240,000 Citi points to Krisflyer. I found 160,000 points in my KF account this morning. I got the 1.5:1 - phew. I have now about 4,000 Citi points left and will be closing this card. It has nothing for me now.

    Bombshell (for me) - New travel policy

    We have a BFOD and DJ under cut Qantas with every flight. About once every two weeks it is MEL-SYD-MEL. DJ offer us $129 flex fares. QF doesn't come close. Apart from a few senior guys that can work around the policy everybody else flys DJ. I work for one of the big four banks so with us all...

    Business - DL/UA YUL,YYZ,etc.... - SYD RT $3295 (inc taxes)

    HI All, I know that we like flights out of Aus but if you are a regular traveller to the USA/Canada this could help. Travel on points one way then start buying the round trips but starting from Canada. DL and UA seems to be competing for the Canadian market out of LAX. The most interesting...

    Tell me where and tell me how!

    Sorry I can't give you a direct answer but I find kayak.com and cheapoair.com as excellent places to start searching. Also, try various cities in Europe. FCO, MXP and ATH are usually the cheapest. Also check BRU, AMS and CDG. If you could get a very cheap PER-DPS then maybe this would bring...

    HKG W and SQ J or QF F

    Wow. HKG W is amazing. I ended up with an upgrade to a corner room with a view up towards the new bridge and the South China Sea. I really liked this view though others would maybe see it as a little to industrial. Also, the HKG W is the only hotel (and this includes Vegas) where I have been...

    Now Boarding ... Chicken or Beef?

    Well we have heard from QF management, we have heard from the unions, gov, etc. What about those employees that are not part of the union and hence have not much to do with the dispute? What's the mood like? Are people keen to get flying again? I have sympathy for you and hope that work...
