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?

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

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 😂

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Delta in talks to acquire 51% stake in Virgin? [RUMOUR] - Virgin Australia - Executive Traveller Found this rumour with no backing In source. But what do people think about this spicy alternative?

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?

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?

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...

Hello AFF brain trust. VA562 from Perth to Sydney was cancelled yesterday, while on the tarmac we were in a sauna of a plane for half an hour before we headed back to the gate. They then put the Plat and Gold members on VA471 Perth to Brisbane arriving at 1:40am and subsequent connections in...

give us a lil tease ;) Hopefully it's a partnership with more airlines HAHA

You'd hope (although highly unlikely) that Virgin could argue for their case that after a potential IPO that they'd bring widebodies back in the near future.

Had a thought about this actually and I reckon VELOCITY AUSTRALIA or just V AUSTRALIA again might be some of the names. Since the call sign is already VELOCITY along with their FF program, it might make sense. I don't see them moving away from the VA moniker too much.

Likely not possible, but wanted to ask anyways. I have a rewards flight from HND - CNS all booked next year. But i'm planning on flying from CTS (Sapporo) that same day. Does anyone know if it's possible to book a NH flight through VAs call centre to then combine them in one itinerary, so i can...
