Yep I was there 2011 - 2017, not sure how many bright eyed graduates would be heading there for a gap year at the moment.

I understand Platinum should get you into the Business Lounge for Domestic and FIrst for International. Wonder if there will be any pushback from Qantas, or they will see it as a good thing to steal business while things start picking up again... @Mattg : 540 Qpoints are required before 06...

There is a long thread on FlyerTalk in the Avianca forum, experiences are varying a lot but some are getting points refunded without penalty. There is also difficultly reaching an English speaking representative as the English speaking call center is in a country under lockdown. I have a...

Anyone else already have enough SCs to requalify for platinum who aren't sure they will benefit at all from this (after putting in the hard yards)? Does it mean that the current qualification period will be extended by a year (and hence already qualiying for the following period) or will it...

Would there be any benefit for those that have already qualified for next year? i.e my platinum status would be extended normally to June 2021, would this now be June 2022?

Just checked my reversion early April and am now being routered through LAX instead of direct to IAH from SYD. It says Polaris business, but what are the chances it will be the new Polaris seats? It was an Avianca redemption so i guess won't have much negotiating power to change to a direct on...

I'll miss the Xmas drink so can come to the quiz instead

Best summary I've seen so far... https://liveandletsfly.boardingarea.com/2019/11/16/united-mileageplus-surcharge/ I should hit OZ *G before my status matched Premier Platinum expires in Jan.

The main benefits for me are economy X on work trips, upgrades to Perth every Xmas on the A330 to see the family and the automatic Hilton diammond status match.

There was a link in the email to the following PDF: https://resources.aia.com.au/rs/482-ROS-457/images/VIT4998_V2.pdf

Wow ok... I wish i followed the hotel threads as much as the airlines ones now :)

Ah nice one... i didn't know the sweet spot like the United status match... not as well known... it was a bit implusive anyway :)

Always go row 5, most likely to have a middle seat free and only a few seconds later getting off.... the long walk to the back toilets is a different story though ;)

Wow same... actually the 10SC's might come in handy, don't need to spend as much at coles this year ha

Received an email this week. Singapore Airlines also added to the cashback program. Might need to get back to the gym!

Bit the bullet and did the Velocity Platinum status match over to Diamond (a bit nervous about all the changes at Virgin at the moment). Received almost 18 months up to end of March 2021. There is a sale on Asia at the moment so will be staying at the Beijing Capital Airport, and the Millenium...

Flying over to PER for Xmas but would be keen for something similar next year!

Was able to request to credit my Air NZ flight to Asiana (OZ), whilst getting United (UA*G) printed on the boarding pass at Sydney Airport at check-in last week. This meant no problem getting though the express lane and into the lounge, and having the flight credited to a program with no status...

I'm flying SQ into T3 Capital Airport next month, thinking about heading out there to take a look, but it's a long way to go for a stickybeak! Will take the pressure off T1 & T2, which are usually a bit of a fight to get through (as noted above). I guess it is going to be more of a Hongqiao...
