[Captain Halliday]

Well they got me. As a non status pax I'll be keeping a close eye on the lounge meets thread.

Many thanks to the OP... Great find!

So anyone know the easiest way to book seats? Call centre?

Yep – only way.

 

[sausagefingers]

Yep – only way.

I forgot to add my Frequent flyer number (rookie error) I assume I can call up and select seats and add our FF numbers?
This thread is going to be alive tomorrow as we all sit and wait

Yeah, you should be fine to call and do it all over the phone.

Seems like Orbitz has edited booked mistake fares before without notification...

Think I am too nervous lol.
" I am sorry sir, that booking has been canceled" are the words I fear.

I have booked BNE-SYD-LAX-BNE outbound on Saturday 14 May and return Saturday 14 May for ~USD266. It appears on my bookings on VA website. Pre-allocated 25D for outbound flight and 25C for inbound flight.

Don't ask me why I booked it but I expect that it will not be honoured. But if it is honoured then I have to try an In-N-Out burger to see what all the fuss is about.

Anyone know how many SCs this will earn?

 

[Captain Halliday]

Better you find out tomorrow, rather than at the airport on the day of intended travel.

90 SCs and 15,000 haul of points. In-n-Out is just good ole greasy burgers served with animal style fries.

I called to have my friend's booking attached to mine and it was all good. I wouldn't worry. If they decide to end the sale, I doubt your call would influence that.

Pretty well first on the order of things to do I think - In-N-Out

It is 40 each way - not going to get me to the magic retain plat number but I dont really care haha

 

[awkwardpaws]

Pretty good value for Velocity SCs, no? Maybe this should go into the Velocity status run thread

WOW, that is dedication to the cause my friend.

15 hours there for a day trip and 15 hours back...in economy?

That imo is a complete waste of time.

I booked CNS - SYD - LAX return for 4pax cost was $1330 in April school holidays. Kids are going to be happy when they wake up!

You're going to be a hero, maybe wait and make sure they honor first?

QANTAS and virgin are having some amazing sale fares to the USA.....pretty soon sub $500 return is going to be the norm

Good luck to all..
I assume this was only bookable thru Orbitz... suggesting it will be their stuff up more likely than the airlines??
