The more ppl i talk to about points, the more I realise most will think the Classic Plus is a great initiative. These ppl are most certainly not frequenting forums like this and have been to resigned to the old 'there's never any seats anyway' excuse, then spending 500k points on a pair of RM...

Ive done the infant thing to Europe twice now. To be honest the flight is literally a countdown from the minute you walk on, but premium cabins are worth it. I would look at options out of Asia to Helsinki with Finn Air - the new J/Business class seat is great - and Helsinki connects with all...

Seems they've made a change to the way availability shows up on the full month calendar search too...for example, did this search for SYD - BKK and it only shows the economy 'red badge' - however when you click into particular dates, there are business options available on partner airlines that...

I've made the switch from Qantas to Velocity more recently - early observations - there is just a lot more consistent availability in general with Qatar and Singapore airlines, two premium partners. In my eyes, it effectively opens up a reliable route to Asia (Singapore) and two routes to...

Out of interest, does anyone know some alternative to ways to acquire (ie pay) for points, outside of credit cards? I’m planning ahead for some Velocity redemptions, and I’m 40-50k points short and don’t want to take out any more credit cards. I’ve seen YakPay has an accelerator option which...

In fact, the opposite is sometimes true - i can often find J availability on Velocity that doesn't exist at all on Krisflyer (waitlist only). Having switched my points strategies from QFF to Velocity more recently, have been very impressed (which also says a lot about Qantas as much as it does...

Ok got it thanks, I figured it was something related to the answers above (ie peak time). Will keep an eye out over the coming months! Much appreciated

What would the logic be for no economy seats on a flight? Was looking to release 3 x seats - SYD to BKK on Dec 26 Expert Flyer shows the below (no Q class which I understand is the Economy category I need to request release for Platinum) J9 C9 D6 I4 U0 W9 R7 T3 Z0 Y9 B9 H9 K0 M0 L0 V0 S0 N0 Q0...

Is there any likelihood of requesting 3x seats and having success do you think? (Even if it was in Econ)?

Looking to book a flight from Shanghai to Tokyo with Japan Airlines using QFF points - the Qantas site shows no availability through the search, however looking at American Airlines, it indicates there is availability. I have a vague recollection that sometimes Qantas FF didn't show all the true...

Thanks...just signed up. What a great tool!

Im sure this has been asked before so my apologies...but what is the best way to see Singapore Airlines Reward availability that can be booked using Velocity Points? I'm looking for a J ticket back to Singapore from 'somewhere' in Europe in early July next year (can be somewhat flex on date /...

I did Qsuite from Doha to Melb, then got a connecting flight to Sydney... One thing to keep in mind, your bags are not ticketed all the way through to Sydney. You will need to collect your bags at Melbourne airport, go through customs etc, re-check in the bags to Sydney at Melb Domestic. Bit of...

T Thanks very helpful!

Ok thanks - Australian site suggests otherwise? https://help.accorplus.com/hc/en-au/articles/360039967394-How-do-I-ensure-that-my-points-don-t-expire-#:~:text=Reward%20points%20expire%20365%20days,eligible%20stays%20at%20Accor%20properties.

Seems my Accor Points are expiring in 20 days - is there a way to extend the validity of these without booking a stay? I seem to recall in the past ppl doing a survey to extend them but not FAQ suggests "Reward points expire 365 days after your last eligible stay which earned reward points. As...

I will give it a crack either way and see where I land...no harm! As an aside, I personally don't necessarily subscribe to the idea that there has been ample time / opportunity for all to maintain Platinum status despite borders being open for 19 months. Those 19 months have included...

I fall into the July 31 expiry bucket too so feel it is inevitable I will lose Platinum in just over a month... does anyone know if there is an email contact where I can plead my case for an extension (however unlikely it may be). Selfishly, I'm going away in August and so would be great for a...

Mine (and my wife) came through - 3 weeks to the day...about to cancel now

Looks like I need an ABN...which I have, but will they ask for supporting docs etc?
