    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    This DSC is has me in a pickle as my re-qualification is in 31st August. I've already set locked in Gold for this year and next year taking me to August 2027 before i drop down to silver. But the timing of this is making me question should i go big and try to go for WP (Short of 680SC) which...

    AccorPlus China

    Hey, just wanted to confirm that ALL China still works from the sounds of it. I saw some T&Cs that only a maximum of 30 nights can ever be accredited to an account, but looks like you got yours done. What was the processes like, first time ALL China as well.

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Sounds like a good meta would be get or maintain Krisflyer Gold (incl Velocity Benefits) and transfer points to Aeroplan for bookings and potentially reference in your Krisflyer Gold Account for bookings made via Aeroplan? Any potential pitfalls to this?

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    I actually had a question on this. How do aeroplan points compare to krisflyer miles on a cost basis + taxes? Because sometimes i've found better value through velocity points on many intra-asia legs than i would have on Krisflyer (where available).

    ALL Accor+ Explorer Membership Discussion

    Still a little confused based on the comments and T&Cs so far. So is it confirmed or to be confirmed that those who've renewed before September and have received their 20 night bonus would get an additional 30 nights based from October 1? I'm currently Gold and I renewed in June and received...

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    I mean i wonder if there's a justified use-case to have the SYD/MEL/BNE to HND flights with an addition of the a380 to Narita? Or based on current loads, that current QF/JQ flights meet the current high-demand for Japan, especially over the winter season and an a380 would be overkill?

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    Would an a380 on a SYD - NRT route work? Or even seasonal NRT routes utilising the a380?

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Just confirming, keeping the PNR implies just changing the flights rather than cancelling and rebooking? Ive actually never changed flights, I've always just cancelled them or followed through 😂

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    Thanks to both your replies! So it sounds like I should be able to move my flight with no issues as long as it's before the 19th of October. Legends!

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    This has likely been asked, but honestly the search feature hasn't worked in my favour today. With the Oct DSC, what were the rules and experiences of people who've had to change or move their flights? I might have to shift a flight and wondering if I'll still be able to get the DSC? The flight...

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Just wondering for those who are just shy of the $60k to retain their Gold. What did you all do to tick yourself over? My review date is in November, but I did another quick calculation again and I'm about $12K under. I was thinking about getting a few refundable airfares that I can refund...

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    Does anyone know or have experience booking a rewards seat during the DSC promo and being PC sometime after booking and still getting the DSC? Just wondering if we need to be a PC member at the time of booking or at the time of flying? Can't find anything definitive other than: "... if the...

    Business Class meal in economy?

    Hey AFF! No this isn't me requesting a business class meal. But i thought i'd ask a question to the collective brain that is AFF. Today I noticed a man sitting next to me in row 3 being offered a business class meal. I was in awe, and mind you i'm Plat as well and never been or have seen other...

    Status Credit Earn Before and After Membership Review Date

    Hey AFF, Just a question in conjunction with the DSC offer. For context my Membership year ends in August. If I attain Gold within the next few months due to the DSC which will last me till August 2026 from my understanding. If I earn DSC in October 2025 (after my August expiry), will my earn...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I do plan my flights on VA metal around the DSC times tbh on J. So i am guilty of the Status run. So lets say QF and VA did a DSC, i'd imagine doing a flight with QF would provide a better $/SC ratio, depending on the destination. I may be wrong tho, happy to be corrected! But based on my...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Seems like a mixed bag of opinions in this thread. While some additions were great and understandable, i'm probably with the few who get shafted by this change. As someone who flies up and down to Cairns from Sydney a 4 or more times a year in J half the time and Singapore once or twice to see...

    VA lounges becoming sporting clubs

    Don't know if it's related. But honestly would love to see if Virgin goes the route of Qantas and splitting lounges based on flight class/ status. I wonder if Virgin even has enough floor space at any of the major airports for it?

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    I did actually get a reply in a few minutes of sending a complaint, let me know what everyone thinks: So tl;dr got my in-flight meal paid for and an extra 7500 points. Also technically the SC and Points from the new BNE-SYD flight. What does everyone think, sufficient?

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    Yeah, retrospectively would of stayed in Perth. But there was no time to think unfortunately as they booked us on a flight that departed in a few minutes (which was delayed). And yeah, families slept on the floor at BNE airport baggage collection area. Even as a Plat, wasn't treated any...
