    QR business/1st reward availability post-July

    Yeah another reason I'm holding out is that my teenager and friend are on their first overseas flight on the QR one that day ha they'll be right though, I think I'll book it - worst case its a very minimal cancellation cost anyway. Thanks all.

    QR business/1st reward availability post-July

    Hi, I'm looking for a business or first ticket on a QR flight (BNE to DOH) in late Nov - whilst I see the new VA flight has reward seats available, I particularly want the QR flight (not least because it'll be QSuite as opposed to who knows for the VA one). From what I can see there's now going...

    Using Velocity points for Virgin Atlantic reward

    Yes I know I need to call up Virgin Australia for Virgin Atlantic (VS) reward bookings. Without having every flight thats available on hand and sitting on the phone with the wonderful VA staff for many hours, just wondering if anyone knows which VS flights (or their partners), can be booked...

    Using Velocity points for Virgin Atlantic reward

    Hi does anyone know how this works? I know you have to call Virgin Aus to book, which I've tried but they just ask you which flight I want and then tell me if its bookable or not. Any idea what flights I can use my Velocity points on (eg is it only Virgin Atlantic metal or others)? Thanks in...

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    OK so we turned up at BNE airport just before 2pm - timed for just after checkin closed for last flight prior to the 10pm one. Not many people there, only waited for a few minutes before one of their staff walked past and I asked her if they would take us today. She said yes, however they...

    Sure. We're also going to US (HNL) but Fiji demand a PCR even for transit :-(

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    Jase, we live only 15 mins from the airport and not doing much so we will go in there early this afternoon. I'll let you know if they accept us for the day before. If they dont we will line up at 8am tomorrow.

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    If you have access to Expert Flyer - I can assure you there are very few passengers on our flight so as long as they prioritise the first flights leaving (as they should) then testing at BNE should be fine.

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    Damned if you do and damned if you dont. If selfish people do the wrong thing they will use up the testing time for those that may need it to check in on their flight for that day. Simpler - and most appropriate thing to do is surely to get tested as soon as you can withn the time period...

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    We're only transiting NAN and going onto HNL (one flight per week). ha! So if we dont get our results in time we miss out on the whole holiday. Well - actually it could be fun haha as long as I dont book that darn non-refundable timeshare prior. Told the teens it will be fun - we will be at ath...

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    As of 1 Jan, Fiji require a test taken within two calendar days of flying - Fiji Travel - Ministry of Commerce Trade Tourism and Transport - I think the 30th will be classified as 3 calendar days before. (I'm also travelling to Fiji (transit) then onto HNL so require a test ONE calendar day prior).
