    Etihad First Class Lounge Access Velocity Platinum 2019

    Yes I concur. Very quiet and cosy with top shelf service. I never knew about the private rooms, I will research that for next trip.

    Etihad First Class Lounge Access Velocity Platinum 2019

    I don't drink alcohol so my "best thing" about the place was the warm nuts. Ask for a coffee and sparkling water and they'll also bring a small cup of amazing warm roasted nuts. I overdosed on them.

    Etihad First Class Lounge Access Velocity Platinum 2019

    Very funny that you ask. As I was entering there was this group at the entry who went to the side and let me go thru.. then once the lady processed me through she said 'Sir as a Platinum member you can bring in a guest and this family behind you need an extra person" ... so yeah you can take in...

    Alitalia and Virgin, anybody?

    I just entered the Casa Alitalia lounge here in Fumicino, no issues with me being Velocity Platinum, I showed them the card and straight through. This lounge is actually pretty good, I'm at the one close to E1 gate.

    Etihad First Class Lounge Access Velocity Platinum 2019

    One funny thing though is that it's called Lounge and Spa, but there isn't a spa.

    Etihad First Class Lounge Access Velocity Platinum 2019

    Yes it does I was in it 7 hours ago. Fantastic facility. The entry doesn't stand out though so when you see a sign pointing to it, you may find that the entry is right underneath the sign (where shops are).

    Alitalia and Virgin, anybody?

    Can anybody help me understanding the above line in bold? I bought the ticket via Alitalia, so the flight will be an AZ flight operated by Etihad. I've logged into the Etihad site and entered my velocity number. Basically if I don't stand to get points and more importantly Status Credits...

    Alitalia and Virgin, anybody?

    Holy coughe that's good info. I booked the flight solely for the purpose of the benefits (included points and status credits). I purchased via Alitalia so it sounds like I won't be getting points or Status Credits. Damn!

    Going to fly whole family on Turkish Airlines - which points program?

    6 of us are flying Turkish Airlines from Singapore to Turkey return. We live in Melbourne, Australia. So I'm curious to know which Airline Points Program I should sign up for - for better use of the points, and hopefully be able to use them back in Melbourne. I think Singapore to Istanbul...

    Damn, i would have thought Malaysian would be safe, as I always thought the extra focus after tragic events improves safety/security.

    What does "no show" mean in the fare rules?

    Yeah I'm trying to work out the risk factor with having 2 tickets. There is about 3 hours between flights and I'm not sure if there is an internal transfer desk. Scenario 1: everything goes smooth, collect suitcases and check in on time. Scenario 2: running late and dash for connecting...

    What does "no show" mean in the fare rules?

    I can see "no show" and a value next to it under fare rules. Does that mean if you miss the flight that you get the "no show" value refunded?
