Maybe VA can get it back 🤣

Didn’t end up going to breakfast so no idea. Got a coffee and donut on the way to the office at daily bread.

As a WP I’m impressed and like the idea. I’ve got WP with both VA and QF so this makes VA a even less attractive given Economy X was a major benefit of VA.

Disagree on that one, speeds/ping is so much better than Qantas and because most people don't pay I usually get speeds of 40-50mbps sometimes higher.

Or they can use an A321 for MEL-DRW-SIN like the other week.

Cost cutting? Gordon’s is about $60 for 1L whereas Beefeater around $50 and also happens to be the gin that Emirates serves in Economy.

Wow didn't expect it to be the Air NZ lounge would have thought Aspire!

I'm currently part way through an Absolute plan that I got last month for 25% off. The 30% off makes it even better but only for those who haven't had Signature before they're limited to 20% off. Last year the black Friday deal was 50% off the first single month so hopefully this "warm up" deal...

I mean that's the thing about the current program, 38SCs on a VA status run is $456 (excluding lite fares). If flying VA Y or partners a bit in the next 12 months could be worth it plus the soft landing to silver (couple of lounge passes) in a years time. Currently a VA lounge membership (that...

There was no messing around, it arrived into Canberra on the afternoon of the 27th then two days later started flights with the first the 29th.

Short Answer : No would be fine not a problem. Long Answer : Velocity points and SCs are awarded based on the underlying fare basis of the eticket (yes still a thing even in the new $ = points/SC world), upgrades keep the eticket in the same fare basis but the reservation is changed to Z...

Did you ask at check in or even call Virgin day of travel? I've had some luck day of when still seats available but not a reward seat so often worth a shot.

The intention is port headland as a temporary stop, qantas still don’t have all the regulatory approvals they need.

Minus a monthly PER-XCH special Saturday flights that will be direct and depart Perth at 12:30pm all flights will be a 9:25am departure. I recently flew out PER-CCK on VA and using priority pass accessed the Aspire lounge. The breakfast was average and coffee was ok so if Qantas doesn't at all...

The OPs original post mentions there will be months between the 2nd last flight HKG-SYD and the last flight SYD-NAN. Yes the bags would connect if the time between flights was 24 hours or less but in this case Sydney airport won't be holding the bags for a couple of months to load onto a flight...

It did go, I didn’t go on it. Have been unwell so decided wasn’t worth it, in the end the fare was $29 so not a huge loss but still a shame. I’ll keep an eye out for future ones.

Sounds to me like all the points down the drain. Unless like Velocity they held the value of the points separately in a trust setup (highly unlikely) it seems like this was the T Rex way of getting rid of the points and removing the program?

At least they are consistent not updating the document title. W&C Standard Template.

I think 99% of the time they're priced higher but that's just the way they profit. Like many I'm in it for the points but still drink the wine so in my head I like to give the bottles a $10 per bottle value (regardless of the actual bottle) then subtract that from the price and work out a...
