Well of course, leisure markets. But perhaps the key point has been missed, Asian has growing upper and middle classes. Growing!!! Pretty fundamental if you want to grow your business, access the growing market,

It might be a long shot, but your could see if the airline staff know about the FQTV and FQTS fields. FQTV for accrual and FQTS for status recognition. I briefly asked about changing my FF number on a Qatar booking to send earn to VA and not QF recently. The agent in Rome started to say things...

Half the world's population in our region! Having tried to attract international meetings to Australia a few times, I still get "It's a long way to travel". (yet the Europeans expect that they should dominate activities, and ignore that it's a long way for us to travel to Europe :rolleyes: )...

Have you tried some travel vlogs on U-tube. Can usually get a decent review from recent flights. I'm laughing about dismissing a long haul business class seat based on a 2 hour flight. I would've thought there was no basis for comparison - chalk and cheese. I mean if I consider 2 hours on a...

To OP, Status earning may be higher with a VA flight number, at least it appears to be higher for Qatar. I'm probably wrong for SQ https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/airlines/singapore-airlines The information is also very clearly accessible on the VA website. Login...

I did not use the word mandatory. I certainly agree with the benefits of an alliance that you've articulated. Although, I suggest your points were covered in my post by the preceding paragraph that you didn't quote:

Was there a couple of weeks back connecting from ORY to VLC. It took FOREVER to find the way upto the lounge from the concourse. A complete lack of signage to find the lift upto the inside of security. I could see the lounge up above, I could only see down escalators. I could see the lounge...

As a board member he still has the ability to influence direction and bring projects to the board. Lack of 'veto power' is irrelevant. Being on a few advisory/executive/management boards, I'm not sure there is a general understanding about how they work. A good Chair/Board will have already...

I'm hesitant to bring up the complimentary upgrades. As mentioned they have very little practical value. But I'd hate to give them a reason to remove the benefit. Actually, providing things like priority boarding is a massive benefit for me. I get there are issues with the special entry in...

Hmm, it does say 'local' travel expenses, which is code for a taxi. or a BCC bus.

Booking via Virgin website seems to follow those some allowance. I have a "V" fare and a "Q" fare booked yesterday, both in Choice category with Virgin Aust. The "V" fare gets free standard seats, the "Q" doesn't. However, this information does not seem to be available at time of booking. At...

As per other post. Booked a QR economy flight via business rewards yesterday. Simple return to Europe. Both "choice" fares - Q and V fare classes. discount was about 1.5% to 2% depending on outbound or return. Dummy booking on the QR website, and quoted undiscounted fare matched. I also did a...

Thanks. Learning experience for me, being this will be my first time in economy on Qatar. I'm a bit annoyed at myself for not getting the flex fare on the outbound, which was only ~$100 more and came with free seat selection. On the flip side, the difference in fares (cash saved) for the...

Is this a loop hole, change to QF Platinum, select seats and then change back. For VA codeshare on QR...

We used to get this a lot, as in all the time. One day, fortuitously, my partner just happened to be going out when they caught the postie (on honda bike) at the letter box writing out a card. Waited until the postie put the card in the letterbox, then made their presence known. Took card out of...

no comment about rebates. Nut I noticed my Macquarie statement today (replacement visa for the Jetstar mastercard) claims no fees on international purchases in store or on line.

Oh you think data is the same as calculations... Hmm basic mathematics. so you don't have an alternative metric to calculate... ok I've already responded to your flawed claims about my assumptions. flaws that I already acknowledged in my post. nice try fail.

And the airline would've have paid for you to get a taxi to your home, assuming the disruption was within the airline's control as per the policy Once again: your position is illogical. You had multiple choices you've reject the choice that cost you nothing, you've rejected the choice of a...

It is $120, two taxis each way. NOT hundreds of dollars!!!!!! And, of course, Uber was likely cheaper. If I could not carry $120 for a month or so waiting for compensation from VA, then I should not be travelling international. Otherwise, exercise another choice and sleep on the airport floor.

You had choices that didn't require staying at a hotel. I said nothing about you paying for a hotel, happy or otherwise. So yes, it is illogical to claim I've said you "should be happy to pay $450" The taxi info you gave was wrong, and now it's backflipped away. I bet VA would've given you taxi...
