    What's going on with reward availability to Europe?

    I think VA has gone from hero to zero in this regard, it was really good everywhere even up to the start of this year, but now I can't find anything to anywhere. I am looking past the summer, to September, even November but still nothing. Yesterday I found one QR flight to AMS amazingly, but...

    Is it possible to add a LH flight to SQ return trip?

    I have a return trip with SQ with iteniary being SYD -> FRA, BRU -> SYD. I am wondering if I can now retrospectively add a 3rd flight to the onwards journey from FRA -> AMS with LH (star partner of SQ, which is why I'm hoping it's somehow possible), just so I can avoid doing self-transfer of...

    Just got an email today that my flight CGK -> AUH on the 23rd (one of 4 in iteniery) was swapped for vamos air, apparently this is happening until the 26th Feb (very unlucky). The generic email says this would have been made visible during booking, but of course it wasn't, it was decided...

    Self-Transfer through Changi

    Hi I'm thinking of booking separate ticket flights, possible either EK or SQ rewards EU <> SIN and then separate qantas ticket or something between SIN <> SYD.

    Why does SQ charge less for one extra flight?

    I know that connecting traffic can cost less, and airlines price flights cheaper for inconvenience of extra connections, but I think this is a bit ridiculous. All these flights are exactly the same dates (apr 25 -> jun 10) from Sydney. Let's say I want to do SYD -> FRA return, ok it's 7k ~ 8k...

    When do VA eligible flight sectors expire?

    I'm curious, are eligible sectors like SCs - ie. do they expire on a 12 month rolling basis, or do they only count in the current annual membership window? For example, I have gold until November or October or something (and also for the next year), however I will have enough rolling SCs for...

    Transiting QF <---> EY in Jakarta CGK

    Hello I'm hoping to make use of the cheap EY J fares from CGK to EU for a return/multi city journey next Feb. To get to CGK, I plan to book a reward seat with QF ( from SYD) which is pretty cheap points/taxes. It's the first time I'd be doing that, so I just wanted to get some advice, in...

    Going to Europe via Tokyo?

    Hello I have some conferences to attend around Jan/Feb, and I'm very interested in the concept of going to Europe via Japan (Tokyo specifically) in J. Ideally with ANA because I assume the new VA 2.0 partnership is not far away. These Japanese airlines are happy to allow a "long layover" in...

    What's the cheapest QR J that you can get to Europe?

    Hello From SYD, I've flown SQ J a few times to Europe - namely to FRA and MUC for ~ 6k AUD return. I bought all those tickets on some sort of sale. I've never seen any QR tickets to anywhere in Europe for less than around 8k, not to mention there are no (or almost no) qsuites flying to SYD at...

    Hi I have the Amex Qantas Ultimate card, and I'm hoping to close it soon (before Nov). I have had one ongoing dispute about an insurance claim with them. The situation simply put is that I missed a European intercity train (due to problems with congestion at the station they changed the...

    Claim for status credits from SQ codeshare flight?

    Hello I recently did a SYD -> MUC via SIN on SQ ticket. I got 3/4 flights SCs awarded within 2-3 days of each flight, however one of the 4 flights was actually operated lufthansa as a codeshare with an SQ code (SQ2202), and I didn't get anything for this one. I put in the request for missing...

    What's going on with Qantas pricing?

    I need to use a $450 voucher before November, and I was hoping to book Japan, but check this out - I have never seen anywhere near such an expensive economy flight to Tokyo return. What is going on here? It's not even very soon, so I don't understand what the problem is, and it's a very...
