    Clarification request on Lounge rules when flying Singapore Airlines as VA platinum

    Looking at buying some cheaper SQ flights in economy. I'm still not clear on lounge access rules for VA platinum. I believe that any SQ lounge will allow access? However if lounge is operated by a third party, say at Jakarta then what? Is there any definite guide to follow to make this clear?;

    At Hire in May Darwin

    Looking for some reasonable priced car hire at Darwin for three days. I guess I must accept that everything is curtailed within km per day that is offered but why for goodness sake! It's 2025 and to have limited KMs is ridiculous and not being able to car out of the state...(Not that I would be...

    VA and SQ credit run prior to devaluation suggestions?

    I am thinking prior to the ending of the VA and SQ "relationship" and before VA change their own point/credit system, of doing a quick bash ex Perth to a couple of places that I have never been before but all in one trip for duration period of about six days.. I'm thinking booking via SQ so that...

    I'm thinking it is...well we were certainly in the decent for MEL and a few turns later seemed to be heading back that way. Just glanced at it from.the aircraft window and the airport looks smaller than what it seems on the ground!

    Rex and its Saab 340s... what next?

    Yesterday, I think I counted 16 340s in various state of repair/maintenance at Wagga Wagga. Despite this...I can only assume.they don't even have the routes to maintain so many on the books?

    BA put on hold KUL service by at least 6 months.

    The delay before the scheduled service was due to start in 4 weeks has caused problems for pax already booked. BA blames Rolls Royce due to engine trouble on the B787 the aircraft type that was expected to carry out the long route from Heathrow to KL. Alternative airlines within the One World...

    MH Economy class fares and getting BA Tier Points

    i have found in economy a very good fare actually: my proposed routing, PER-KUL-KCG-KUL-DPS-KUL-PER. One PNR. However, on the MH site under, multi city, it gives various class of fares being possible but does not identify the said class on first approach, points and AVIOS for this trip. I am...

    Why would QF not allow seat viewing on B 737 domestic service one week away?

    Booked via BA AVIOS redemption for PER to SYD a long time ago. It was originally when booked A330 and got changed to B 737 also ages ago (like months). . Seats were allocated ok in biz cabin. E ticket 125 stock issued. Now for over 24 hours all we see on App and on main site "seat choice are...

    QF ticketed flight to BKK via SIN ex PER

    Noticed that after the flight to SIN from PER the onward to BKK that I am considering is on a TG Dreamliner. Same coming back. My question is does this mean bags will be ticketed to BKK by QF at PER and at BKK to PER on the return and also despite being in Y cabin, is any lounge access available...

    Unexpected pricing processing error on VA

    Yesterday and today while trying to do a multi city booking which includes same day connections with at least two hours at each destination between biz and economy cabins on different flights, I have been able to go through all the necessary, until it comes to payment. It starts to process...

    Qantas ticket class visibility?

    I'm sure this must have been discussed on lots of occasions but similar to trying to see a booking class for a ticket I see nothing on it here! Why oh why don't Qantas show us the booking class before purchase? Seriously, it's not that hard and plenty of One World carriers do so ..in fact...

    Positioning to BKK ex PER suggestions?

    I'm likely to do a One World Tier point run later in the year. AY to Europe via BKK seems the way to go in biz (not lite) for around 3500 dollars return which is excellent. Issue is getting to BKK.it still amazes me that biz fares ex PER to BKK are nearly the same as the flights to Europe!! So...

    Are flight crews in VA lounge regular visitors?

    Just a curious question as noticed at MEL in the lounge chilling and having a coffee etc. does not bother me and assume they are (although then why is there not more of them?) For example I believe BA crew and probably many others are not permitted in lounges.

    VA aircraft update requirements?

    As I sit on an internet provided (allegedly) 18 year old 737 in Row 2, I look around. It's scruffy, it has no PowerPoints, it's generally old, it's on a mainline trunk route between Perth and Melbourne and back. It takes nearly an hour to provide the meal (one working front cabin out of a crew...

    Any chance of VA tie up with TG now that they are returning to PER?

    Good news for those of us who like to to use BKK as our gateway to Europe in biz class with various carriers at reasonable cost unlike the shocking fares usually seen ex PER. Not always easy to position to BKK from PER so the re instatement of the Thai flight in March is welcomed. Would be nice...
