    No ESTA but BP issued

    UA staff in Melbourne rebooked him for tomorrow which was very nice of them. I'm assuming they had no obligation to do so. edit: And his ESTA arrived just as his bags were offloaded.

    No ESTA but BP issued

    Hi all, Unusual situation. My brother is flying to the USA this afternoon (MEL-SFO at 1PM, with a domestic VA connection to MEL) but his ESTA has not been approved. He's booked on a VA reward seat. Before I could check the rules and advise him not to check in, the check in staff already...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    This might be the wrong thread, but my partner is flying QF SYD-ADL tomorrow evening but it's on a CX flight number. She's having trouble linking the pass - is it possible at all to show the pass on her phone at the SYD Qantas Club lounge to get access or it won't work like that?

    Seperate VA and UA bookings

    I have a VA Y ADL-MEL booking (arrives 9.05am) and a separate UA J MEL-SFO (departs 13:00) booking (both award seats) on the same day. Is it possible to link these two flights? I'd hate to miss the MEL-SFO flight due to some delay. I could also rock up earlier and try to get on an earlier flight.

    Latest VA member survey to plan future "enhancements"

    That credit card offer smells like a CBA card offer to me. $2.5k/month spend and 40k points on sign up is very similar to their Smart Awards card.

    I'm still confused - what exactly was the issue (married segment?) and how was it resolved?

    That's really good news! @madrooster are you able to share what the issue was and how it was fixed? To help future individuals who may run into the same issue.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    A family member of mine had an OWCA with a MEL-KUL-HKT leg with MH in J. They made some changes and the MH ticket timed out and the seat was lost (not a surprise). They had the MEL-KUL leg re ticketed in J but the KUL-HKT leg has been ticketed in Y as there are no J reward seats left. Is it...

    Counterpoint to this: no line at all both times I've transited through HEL Edit: Nevermind, I was thinking of the Non-schengen lounge.

    My mistake, if it's part of an OWCA you will not get back the points. Are you flexible on your dates at all? Leaving London sooner/later?

    You will keep the points, but in your case I don't think it's possible as you only have one option for your date! Have you looked at alternative ways back from LHR?

    It's not possible to add a leg after commencing, but you can change the date. Why not book a date in advance and then try and change closer to the date when last minute award seats might pop up? You can also post your itinerary here and see if we can provide some advice.
