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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

I just booked my redemption flight from my ANZ Rewards Travel Adventures card. Got my velocity number added as well to the booking, so it shows up that I'm VA Gold, gives me my additional free baggage, seat selection etc. What I can't work out, is will I earn points + status credits + eligible...

I'm trying to book a flight that goes SYD -> LAX -> MEX -> SFO -> SYD. the SYD -> LAX and SFO -> SYD flights are VA operated, but the entire round trip would be ticketed by Delta. Would these flights still count as eligible flights for Velocity? The T&C's say "An Eligible Sector is any flight...

Recently flying NAD - SYD, and just before the boarding gate, there's another set of security personnel with tables set up for hand luggage search. This isn't too unusual, I've seen it happen once or twice before, in Singapore, but always towards flights bound for Australian. Anyhow, my turn...
