    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I wasn't expecting much as I've only had my card for 10 months. Called to ask if I could change my Velocity Platinum to Qantas Ultimate, I was told I can't change card types and would need to cancel and apply again. I asked if I could get a retension offer and was told there's no retention offer...

    Velocity Gold Status and Singapore Airlines

    I fly to Davao in the Philippines regularly as Velocity gold but Singapore Airlines is discontinuing their service there and replacing it with Scoot. I already know I won't earn as much status credits and have lounge access when the onward fight is Scoot anymore. Does anyone know if the final...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Both Gold Coast Suns and Greater Western Sydney Giant players just now at the Melbourne lounge. Interestingly staff came around to hand out Betty's burgers to the GWS players, none to the suns or any other passengers,

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    My mistake was thinking this applies to any fare type booked throught the Qantas website. I had a return ticket that was for more than 30 days out and I cancelled online within 24 hours. Several weeks go by and I receive a refund for 183.96 on a 1411.86 fare. I fill in the complaint form asking...

    VA Economy Service changes - "Staff will be able to assist"

    Flew MEL-PER last night. As they were going down the aisle taking orders from the BoB menu I just asked “Are you still giving the complimentary snacks mentioned in this email?” and showed the email on my phone to her and she just handed me a tiny bag of mixed seeds/nuts.

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    PER - MEL This box looks even smaller than the other snack boxes posted here when it's a 3.5 hour flight. Bottle of water was handed out before boarding. After the snack box one of the FAs laid out all the other available choices of snacks on a tray and offered more around the cabin as well as...

    Flights from Hell

    Not really a flight from hell but I was flying PER-SIN on a SQ A330 in Y. I was sitting in an aisle seat in the middle section next to two middle-aged Australians men and and an older asian woman on the aisle seat on the other end. The two flagged down an FA every time one walk passed on either...
