    Buying Velocity points

    Yes those award flights are great - I did the same with two Qatar business seats to Rome - big saving over the full retail price - better than 2.6 cents per point value The only challenge for the wife is she needs at least 1 point in her Velocity account - I don’t have that with mine as she...

    Article: Qantas’ Mysterious Downgrade Compensation Policy

    The compensation Qantas offer for involuntary downgrades is highway robbery - the provide little recognition and the traveller has no appeal or choice on the matter Who else gets away with such a thing of choosing the basis for what compensation they set when they shaft a customer who has no...

    Singapore KrisFlyer status match

    Yes - through to August 2024 - not sure if that because it’s granted this month or because it aligns to my Qantas status expiry month I sent them. I’m just happy I’ve got 12 months to enjoy it and gain the re-qualification miles Actually I’m trying to figure out the upside of Gold stays when...

    linking issue Krisflyer with Velocity

    They still haven’t fixed it - I have the same issue ie associated with expired Kris Flyer account and Singapore Air are looking into it. Do you remember what they ended up doing to fix you up? Was it a simple process for them to disassociate your old account - they’ve tried to do that with mine...

    Singapore KrisFlyer status match

    Just confirming the status match to Kris Flyer Gold is definitely a good chance if Qantas Platinum Mine came through today after filling in the form and showing my Qantas recent history and my booking on a Europe return J fare next month together with my flight plans for 2024 (didn’t clarify...

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    Will do - doing it at the end of September. Interestingly although my wife and I are confirmed on the flight in J only one seat was available to select - Singapore say no worries as some seats will be released for selection close to departure But I think the message there is that flights out...

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    I wouldn't risk going out and trying to get back through immigration and border security in time to make the Auckland to Sydney leg - way too many potential delays The transit in Auckland is not a great experience at all and just introduces delays - on the way over on QF3 we got through...

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    We didn’t make a place in the “First” lounge due to the crowd so went to tne Business lounge which is also packed - there’s nothing special in terms of food offering in the Business lounge Not that it matters as we’ll be well fed on the next leg

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    I didn’t read it that way and took it that the new design dresses would be launched at 11.30am (but could be wrong) - I’m certainly no fashionista

    The articles primarily about the Designer and appears in their Style section, I think it’s written by their fashion writer - I suspect The Australian have inadvertently broken an embargo in publishing it now as I think the official launch is later today
