    New VA carrier charge on reward seats (from 1/1/19)

    Was just looking at the points tables at: https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/content/Redeem/Airlines/PointsTables/ Looks like there's a new carrier charge for reward bookings from 1 January 2019. Incredibly disappointing especially for premium/business to LAX.

    Emirates award seat release timing

    Could someone please remind me of the time of day and 'days out' that award seats on Emirates get released by Qantas? Are they pretty consistent or do sometimes seats not get released on particular days? Can Plats & above ask for the release of EK seats, as they can with Qantas?
