I'm looking to go to Tassie with the family in January and struggling to understand the point of booking with VA. As a platinum I used to default to VA but now given their fares are >50% on the same route for Jetstar, I just can't see a reason to book our family of 8 with VA. Extra cost on...

Has anyone heard if there is a reopening date for VA lounges?

Can anyone advise if lounge access is available to business class passenger who does not hold QF status. If I read it correctly, given there is no domestic business lounge in CNS, the answer is no as you need status for Qantas Club.

So I am literally in the process of organising flights SYD-CNS about an hour ago and some flight options simply disappeared. Not the flight was full because all fare classes were available, but these flights merely disappeared as being an option, ie 2.15pm SYD-CNS on 26/02 is no longer an...

So I need to book SYD-MCO for a short trip in May. The SYD-LAX is VA metal while LAX-MCO will be DL. At this stage I will book in Y, although that may change to PE. My question regards the second leg of this trip. If booked through VA with VA flight number, will this class be Main Cabin or...

So I booked the family a trip SYD-PER in June and was careful to select flights on the A330. As a WP I like getting free YX upgrades but was surprised there is no YX on the A330. So my question, for those who have done this route in Y, what are the best seats to choose? There are 8 of us in total.

I'm looking for thoughts on likely next double SC promotion date? I know last year there was one the first two weeks of February, are we likely to see another around that time? I'm holing off booking a stack of flights but time is running out for me on some of them. I appreciate no one...

I need to book SYD-LAX in early September and wanted some advice regarding what metal to fly on? I am VA Platinum and it seems the best flights are all on Delta metal but with VA flight numbers. Is there likely to be any issue with this or something I would miss not flying VA metal? Should I...

OK so on May 20 I took some internal USA flights which bumped me up to platinum status. The following day I had another 3 internal flights which accrued 90 SCs. My status review did not take place until May 24 which means those 90 SCs have not been added into my tally for the current year (ie...

OK so a quick question. We are a family of 8 - 2 adults, 5 kids, 1 infant. We have two trips coming up, one to Vanuatu in July and the other to Cairns in a couple of weeks. My question relates to lounge access as WP. My understanding is I can have 3 guests plus 2 children and infants under 2...

So my last lot of flights have just posted in my Velocity account and I now have in excess of 1000 SC and enough eligible sectors to meet requirements of Platinum. I'm just wondering what is the process now and how long will it take for my new status to register in my account? I've got a long...

So I booked a flight SYD-LAX to take advantage of triple points. Generally I travel in Y as I am only short and don't like a lot of fuss but this time around I have booked PE through an OTA. The flight now appears in My Bookings in Velocity but when I go to select seats I am advised to contact...
