Bugger… Well, I’ll just opt for the short layover and stretch my legs for a bit! Thanks 😊

Thats what I was thinking re: SQ not allowing on AC flight, but it turns out it is SIA metal on the NRT to SIN leg. So if I booked it with SIA code on the NRT to SIN leg, it would be with SIA and therefore lounge? Or am I reading that wrong?

Just to give another example, I have booked, Singapore Airlines J, Etihad J, and Air Canada J, multiple times in the last few months using only the Virgin website using my Velocity points. As time goes on and UA and HA etc start to become active with partnerships and their cross relationships...

Requesting a little help from the brains trust. I have two options in front of me and I’m not savvy enough to know if one is preferred over the other. I’m VA platinum and looking at PE for this flight. It is the same flight but one is coded AC all the way, the other is coded SIA from NRT to...

It has been ticking along nicely the last few days, with naked eye beams last night in Tas.

That’s good to know! I’m hanging out for any news of their United partnership as I might try and book a return flight with them 🤷‍♀️

I had my Agoda account hacked once and bookings at high end hotels in Beijing were booked and billed to my account but in someone else’s name. In hindsight, there were emails sent with confirmation but it was all in Chinese so I thought it was a phishing scam and didn’t pay any attention. Fully...

@aus_flyer I have booked multiple cruises with VtoG most recently our QE cruise coming up in June. It was half the price compared to booking with Cunard Australia. Their website you can change to Australian currency, just be aware that it doesn’t include taxes (no matter what it looks like)...

I booked my Air Canada velocity business reward seat Feb 17 for flight at beginning of June. At the time, there was good availability for SYD-YVR but not anymore. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as things come back online.

Well 🤔 that is a problem. I’m not sure what to do with travel bank. They may extend the expiry, they may not… nearly all of mine TB comes from international flights (in the “before” time). I just don’t need that much domestic travel and it would be such a waste…

Oh, that’s great! I wouldn’t expect it would be too far away then as they would want some seats filled. I was waiting for F Singapore Airlines but lost patience 😂 . I wish VA was making some decisions about their metal returning internationally to (anywhere!) as I still have thousands with them...

I booked return Air Canada J SYD-YVR for 208,000 velocity points, dept June 2022

Thanks Jacques! I have done that with some of the other bookings, but I’m just not savvy with MB so don’t know what is a good deal or if they even exist. I may end up doing as you say though as it at least secures the room.

Thanks Ric!

Thank you! Very kind 😊

Hahah 😂, yep good call, LST is my nearest VA dept (1.5hrs), but I am on the NW coast and DPO is about 20 mins away with Qantaslink (and even they have a lounge!) I was thinking that that was going to be the case with EK (later this year will be first flight with them since 2008) and I’m...

Thank you very much for your points/SC insight 😊 I am a longtime fan of AFF, but never really thought I had anything to add as I had questions but wanted to be a bit more balanced contribution-wise. So, I figured that if I ask a question (over in Marriott thread) then I should give some...

🤔 It was booked as an EK, but I only have base status with both EK and QF due to years of VA Platinum, so wasn’t sure where to credit the points (but I can leave with EK without any probs). I think you could be correct in that Skywards members booking directly may have greater flexibility at the...

I was thinking about changing the FF later. Resp: Straight cash purchase, no miles.

Not sure where to put this one, but went to add QFF number to EK F booking and terms and conditions changed. Pop up said that booking would be subjected to fees and charges for changes and may not qualify for full refund (it wasn’t a reward flight and booked directly through Emirates). So just...
