    Flight redirected at check-in. Extra status credits?

    I took a flight ASP-BNE on Sunday and just before check-in was notified of changes to the flight. Got to the counter and they were able to tell me the flight was now going via AYQ due to the need to drop off an engineer to fix a stranded plane. Must've been an urgent job since he wouldn't have...

    Hello AFF Velocity experts My husband has retained Platinum and is about to get enough points to gift gold in his 12 months rolling membership (June). Does he need to gift it as soon as it's earned or can he do it before the end of the next 12 months June 2020? Does he only get one in his...

    Status run fail! [nearly]

    I had the below happen today. I’m glad I can laugh about it! I took my first status run to reach VA plat, needing 3 sectors and 21 status credits by Sunday to get there. I booked MEL - LST - MEL - ADL paid, and a business reward seat home from ADL - MEL as a present for all of my hard work...

    Any alternative to status run

    Due to recently misreading the fine print, I'm 40 SC short of platinum, with anniversary at the end of March. I'm flying internationally on 3 April. Is there any way of getting the platinum?

    Do you get status points on reward flight bookings?

    Sorry if this has recently been asked but when i searched online i got no clarity from the virgin website, and the results in this forum were from 2013 or earlier. I've booked a business class seat via reward points. Do I earn any status points on this booking?

    Any credit card give airline status?

    There are a few credit cards that give you silver/gold status for hotel as long as you keep the card account open. Just wondering, is there any cards do the same for airlines?

    Inter-Island Hawaiian flights - a way to accumulate status credits?

    Not sure which website I read it (or maybe I didn't at all), but can someone confirm that taking inter-island flights within Hawaii (e.g., Oahu to Maui), flying Hawaiian Airlines on their higher fare buckets, is similar to a status credit run due to the higher number of SCs earned?

    Choosing CX or QF elite status on check-in?

    Hi, I booked a return business to SIN from SYD on CX. As I have calculated that I would have enough SC to upgrade to QF platinum this year by just flying from SIN to SYD (on the return leg), can I ask for using CX Green status on flying out to SIN and earn better CX miles SC points on CX. Then...

    Question re status runs

    Hi all My apologies if this has been posted before, I couldn't seem to find a recent thread about this. I'm as bronze as they come, currently sitting at 40SC. I've never done a status run and I've noticed that many of you take advantage of double SC promotions. I live in ADL and I am...
