    Etihad apartments vs Singapore suites

    Thanks for your thoughts, seems like SQ is the way to go just on the longer flight time... i guess i knew this... just part of me really wanted to try the best F product available, especially as i dont know whether I will fly F again! But 6h really is too short.... SFC i actually already have...

    Etihad apartments vs Singapore suites

    Hi AFFers Have been off the forum for a while because I moved back to England (boo). Apologies in advance for the long question. Fortunately during my last six months in Aus I managed to accrue a pretty decent amount of velocity points. I am looking to book a trip to south korea in April...

    100,000 velocity points for velocity platinum amex with referral

    May I just clarify is possible? Am i correct in saying that once a friend clicks on the referral link and is approved for the card I should get my 60k bonus the next day? Had a friend sign up 2 days ago and nothing has turned up yet.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options A while ago (May) i had a trip to Cairns and because the double SC promo was ongoing at the time of booking I went for a slightly more expensive option to fly MEL-BNE-CNS, rather than MEL-CNS direct. Fine on the way out but on the return leg the...

    Stopovers and missing connections?

    yes I remember this about SYD. I am trying to balance not having to get to the airport in MEL too early/having enough time to make my connection in SYD whilst being able to enjoy the american express lounge there. I really do enjoy flying an A380 (having said that its only ever been in emirates...

    Stopovers and missing connections?

    wow thanks for the help guys. so essentially the day I arrive I actually have to go to SFO for 3-4 days and then back to LA for a couple days and then onto NYC. I am looking at potentially flying AA now from SYD-LAX because I found this flight for 1400 AUD so a decent chunk of saving. I was...

    QR QPoints from a Qantas Flight

    I'm looking to book some flights from melbourne to san francisco, ideally on Qantas. However I am a silver member on Qatar and I think I am probably better off accumulating Qpoints in order to aim for gold with Qatar. The cheapest economy fare (discount economy) from Melbourne to San Fran via...

    Status Credit Runs

    yes I have started to realise this over the past week... this status run thing just does not seem worth it at my current point in life unless great deals are out and everything else can align. I'll manage one day i'm sure :cool:

    Blankets

    Exactly... and then you'll develop a weak stomach, which is useless when travelling ;) I despise alcohol gel as I have to use it everyday, countless times, at work and it seriously screws up my skin. Soap and water is always the cleanest and safest way to go.

    Status Credit Runs

    If you book a classic reward leg of a journey in business or economy class (on Qantas), will you earn status credits for that leg of the journey, and at what rate will you earn those credits? E.g. if i flew sydney to brisbane on an economy sale fare I get 10 status credits, 20 on a flexible...
