    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Yes that was the Y vs J. Better but still more expensive. I still need to get Westpac points to QR.

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Question. Since the VA redeem rates are much higher on QR than using the direct privilege club avios rates (119k points vs 35k) is there a way to transfer into VA from AMEX and then convert them to Privilege club Avios? I am trying to use some of my westpac altitude points to fly with QR but...

    CX Seat selection

    We have booked W class YVR-HKG-MEL bc it was 350 with updated seats and 9 inches of recline. Cx has now downgraded both sectors to 77K which means basically a Y class seat (6 inches of recline) with better food.

    Privilege Club Co-traveller

    You can add a co-traveller onto your account and can use your avios points for getting them a flight or upgrade. You can’t earn points via them flying with QR which is the major difference from the family membership. But if you are not married, then this works to get your partner access. 😁

    Cost of QR Privilege Club redemption from WAW to MEL?

    Just asking a general question for privilege reward redemption. When you use the points required calculator you get 135000 points required for a J class Europe to Mel flight. When you try to redeem the flights, the avios points charge is 180000. Am I doing something wrong?
