    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    I was there at business lounge this week for the first time. The staff was super helpful, notified me of my flight delay, and kept us updated. My favourite part in there was that little ice cream chest freezer full of kapiti ice cream tubs :) On way out I noticed emirates and strata lounges...

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    Received a nice surprise today, my trial gold email (virgin flyer card) arrived this morning about 10 days ahead of my second statement! I was a little sceptical about this whole thing after reading stories on Citi/NAB/velocity. I must admit this whole experience from application to approval to...

    My card was approved on 31 May, and the welcome letter is dated 03 Jun. I suppose I’ll find out in week’s time when I receive my first statement ( I expect my statement month to be 03 Jun - 02 Jul). I’ll revert back here and provide an update, just in case.

    Virgin Australia to be sold to Bain Capital

    Thanks for sharing the link. my views Single aircraft fleet of B737 is fine and will serve eastern states well, incl the lucrative mel-syd route. The east-west will lose out on premium pax. still a better decision after learning their a330 was leased out at ridiculously higher cost. There was...

    Anyone transferring/withdrawing qantas points?

    People are definitely cashing out of qff hence they impose a limit few days ago. Though I agree, it won't be a major run at this stage similar to VA from few weeks ago. My preference as most here is to redeem for flights/upgrades, though I have a feeling that flights upgrade is out of question...

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    I didn't receive any email however I checked both velocity point history, and order status on store straight after I made my purchase just to confirm. Also note, the order status was still 'pending' when ipad was delivered. Hope this info helps. Hang in there, as the entire eco system of...

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?

    Ipad ordered on 05April arrived today. Reading posts here was taking the optimism away and at times I started doubting if that order will ever be fulfilled. The fact that Velocity are not prompt enough to update the order status from pending to processed/complete was not helping either Anyways...

    VA Lounge at OOL

    We were there in late January. To be clear, its the Virgin lounge at domestic terminal near Gate 1 & 2. The lounge is upstairs with stairs and also a lift to take you there. The lounge itself is very nice and I echo the views of other posters here on how good it is despite its smallish size.

    VA and QF Plat. Now we choose one

    Since you are QF gold and 300sc into your current review year, it's not a bad idea to retain and secure gold for further 12 months. However, what is the point of keeping gold and access to lounges with QF and not fly Qantas. IMO, you will need to look into the answer on why you want to switch...

    VA and QF Plat. Now we choose one

    Yesterday was somewhat chaotic with sydney airport suspending runway access due to thick fog. I was treated well by VA staff both at the counter outside and within the lounge at Melbourne and my booking was moved ahead to an earlier flight even though it only end up in a recovery of 15 mins in...

    Westin Sydney becomes The Fullerton Hotel Sydney (18 Oct 2019)

    I've stayed there, great location, very nice lobby lounge and although interiors show some signs of ageing, its a great hotel. The westin at Martin place will be sorely missed.

    3 months Gold for 10k flybuys w/ 80SC to extend (targeted offer)

    Just curious, what happens if I achieve 80SC before the review date? What I am keen to know is if I accumulate say 150SC within 3 months of explore gold period, that extra 70SC in this example is counted as SC accumulated within full gold membership period?
