    Seat Selection Denied - VA Codeshare Flight with Singapore Airlines

    I'm in the same boat. The Mrs. and I are flying from KUL to SYD via SIN on an SQ flight. Tickets are from VA. For <reasons>, we have two separate bookings. On the VA website I'm unable to select seats. Using the SQ PNR on the SQ website, I'm also unable to select seats. I contacted VA customer...

    Free wifi for all Singapore Airlines passengers

    Curious - at the end of the trip, did you get VFF status credit points? Or were they lost to KF?

    Cathay "World of Winners" promo - discounted tickets to Hong Kong

    I got in, didn't get any errors and managed to find flights. But even with just paying the taxes, the cost was $551, which for a "free" flight wasn't worth it for me. Good luck to someone else who wants this more than me.

    VA codeshares on Singapore Airlines

    What's the actual question? You can buy VA flights that are on SG metal, so it's working as intended?

    Lounge when flying VA internationally?

    I recall back in the 'before times', VA gold and above members could access The House lounge at Sydney International when flying VA. But I see no mention of this anymore on their website. I'm VA Gold and flying on Economy to Bali in a few weeks. I take it with the new state of things, this...

    Europe flight cancellation nightmares

    3+ weeks in Europe just after their summer holidays, driving through a few countries and taking in the sights. That was the plan - but post covid, travel doesn't quite seem to be what it was. Here's my, well, frustrating experience in September 2022. Flew Singapore Airlines from SYD - FRA with...

    Does Diners Club still offer personal cards in Australia?

    Just got the companion Diners card with a Citi rewards card. The T&C call out that lounge access is "not" included*. Is this a recent change, or have people had success with lounge access? Hoping to use it for access in Amsterdam next month...

    Amex International Transaction Fees - Worth it for insurance cover?

    So I have a large trip to Europe coming up in a a few week, which includes a car rental in Germany for 10 days. I paid for the flights using my Amex Explorer, which activates the international travel insurance - and the Amex cover seems fairly reasonable. However, the T&C's state that in order...

    Thai Airways lounge access in SYD

    I'm flying in J on Thai this Friday, and wondering if they've opened up lounge access? Their website says the lounge is the AirNZ lounge - but with a disclaimer "Lounge is not open at present due to covid restrictions". I know for a fact that the lounge is indeed open and has been for a while...

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    For those who have decided to stick with the Amex travel insurance - how are you going to "prove" your cover? A lot of places like Singapore / Malaysia have travel insurance as a requirement, but there's not actual certificate of cover provided from Amex.

    Lounge options SYD international airport?

    At SYD right now. The House is closed, even though the sign outside says it's open. I guess Velocity Platinum isn't what it used to be. Also have access to the AMEX lounge, but that's closed. Their website says I can access the Plaza Premium Lounge, but that's closed too. McDonalds tables it is.

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    I can't really find this in the PDS anywhere. Could you point out where you might have read this? Currenly tossing up between covermore / worldcare / world2cover

    Thanks - trying to get in touch with their customer support is like pulling teeth. This is the first Airline I've come across that doesn't actually have a number you can call them on.

    Advice on AirAsia flight cancellation & Refunds

    Hi all, My partner had a flight booked with AirAsia to fly SYD<>KUL, departing 7th April 2020. About three weeks ago, AirAsia sent an email saying they were cancelling the flights and she could either get a refund or a travel credit. Now AirAsia don't have a call center or a number you can...

    Velocity points not partially credited from DL/VS flight

    Well that doesn't seem correct, since I earned points on sectors 3 and 4, neither of which were VA tickets.

    Assistance LAX BOG CTG

    Hi all, The Mrs. is being sent off to Colombia for a work trip and I'm considering joining her a week later in CTG. I'm considering using my Velocity points to get a SYD<->LAX return, and then fly from LAX<->Colombia. However, the connections don't see too appealing, so could use some help...
