I just got an email from them informing me of the above. It's a bit sad because the ability to earn airline points (velocity points via FB points) from the actual booking itself is pretty unique. And of course you get the points from the flight on top of that. They used to have some amazing...

As a Melbourne resident, the experience of landing at an airport close to the city always amuses me (in a way that Sydneysiders might not understand). Here are some I've been to recently: Fukuoka, Japan: This airport should probably win some kind of award for insane convenience. Just 2 subway...

Recent attention on these islands has got me thinking, why don't more Australians go there? Seems like the Japanese & Koreans are the only ones. Think about it: - Same timezone as AU east coast - Similar distance as Bali (about 6 hours flight) - English speaking - Can say you've been to the USA.

Visitors to Japan are rightly impressed by its excellent trains. But I always thought domestic flying in that country is an interesting experience and often overlooked. Having travelled there many times for 15+ years, I provide my observations based ONLY on personal experience - I don't intend...

Has anyone had this problem? I tried to book a reward seat on Aadvantage. The small cash fee (about $15) needs to be paid so I enter my credit card details. You need to select "billing address" so I try to select Australia. It says I need to make the booking on the AA Australia website. But...

I have read articles by people who like these flights, mainly because of international lounge access and also bigger A330/787 aircraft. What I'm having difficulty with is how do you actually search for them? Is there a search engine where you can filter for this? Or some published list of flights?

Some things that I have experienced in recent years: - 3 star hotel in Sydney that told me they do NO housekeeping for stays less then 4 days. - 5 star hotel in Thailand that failed to replace used coffee mugs or replenish tea bags / coffee sachets. Also, they said linen would be changed every...

Trying to book reward economy seat which is 7,800 points. There are 2 options offered - spend 7,800 points + $34.39 OR 7,800 points + 5,900 points. Although the first option is mentioned, I can't actually select it when booking. Anyone else noticed this?

I noticed that total points are not shown anymore in the activity statement. I find this very annoying. The total is there, but not the total at the time you received points. If I get $100 into my bank account, my bank statement shows the balance at the time I got the money, as well as the...

Can I book a hotel room for a friend (not family) using points on the Qantas Hotels website? I heard Qantas is very strict about this for flights, but I'm not sure about hotel bookings.

I recently flew a short domestic Qantas flight and received 15 EQD's. The ticket price was around USD150 + tax. In order to qualify for Gold status (oneworld ruby) i would need to earn 1,500 EQD's - so can I extrapolate that to mean I would need to spend USD15,000 to reach Gold?? Seems excessive...

The minimum points required for a transfer is 5,000 - does this mean you can transfer any amount over 5,000 or do you need to transfer in "blocks" of 5,000? In other words, if I had 5,123 points can I transfer all of them at once, or just 5,000 leaving 123 in the krisflyer account?

I flew MH recently in N class which unfortunately is not eligible for any Qantas points. I could get about 6,000 Enrich points out of this - but should I even bother claiming the points? I doubt I will be accruing any more Enrich points in the future. Could I do points + pay and get a Qantas...

I bought something online recently through the Velocity Estore and also had my Qantas FF details entered with the store directly. I did actually receive both points !! Now I'm considering the possibility of having the Velocity AND Qantas Estore active in my browser when shopping online - maybe...

With the cost of a one-year Myki around $1,700 I would like to get some credit card points out of this purchase in early 2019. Currently my Amex has the best points earn. I assume that buying at a Metro window/machine would be considered "government spend" (less/no points) so I was wondering if...
