re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A I have tried multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE), of these I can't remember if any other than Firefox succeeded in displaying ORD. It looks like the call centre may be the go sadly. I was hoping to avoid it if possible due to reports of...

re: Avianca "Life Miles" - New FF program in *A Does anyone have any tips to increase the success rate for LifeMiles bookings which don't succeed despite showing availability? I have over a period tried a number of things that I wanted to book and which showed as available. Without fail, I...

The extension is a decent size and will help with crowding. It's felt a long construction but good work VA for getting it open as a nice Christmas present to us

In PER now. Not the normal bartender but have too busy enjoying a toasted sandwich to observe if anyone is carrying two drinks instead of one

It's fairly new in terms of being open as the value long term however the car park has existed for years, I think previously as staff parking.

Re: The disgraceful state of the MEL Lounge with no end in sight I have no trouble getting seconds from this gentlemen shortly after my first order. Sure this relates to a (mini) bowl of chips while I await my hot drink. I don't understand why these have to be behind the bar in Perth as...

It doesn't appear to be targeted and is advertised on their main buy points page. The annual purchase limit still applies but appears to be the only restriction. The extra bonus more than beats the slightly better exchange rate for people who went early in the offer period on this one.

They have sweetened the offer https://buy.points.com/PointsPartnerFrames/partners/AAdvantage/container.html?language=EN&product=BUY&CAMPAIGNCODE=HmPgFtrUS [/LIST]

I haven't noticed this before, but even the Velocity email system knows that I have requalified for platinum, months before the review date. All I could think of when I saw You have maintained Platinum membership was - if even the emails know this, why on earth does it take a month for...

Maybe someone actually expected to fly from GFT to VCH so they had to make a change for this year.

Agree on LTS and LTG A shadow would also be a very worthwhile benefit for platinum, whether a published or unpublished benefit

Followed by a statement that says Nov 23 is the start date - I think this becomes almost misleading

It looks I will get XFB tonight (VA692) based on movements in flightradar24.

Yes - and the point at which you could expect to see the change has gone from around 4 days out to 1-3 days out. My experience has been that it has normally occurred before online check-in opens, although I have had it happen later than that too (possibly then as an equipment change rather than...

I can assure people that in road network management the prospect of driverless cars on the general road network is being taken very seriously although not yet as inevitable. Hands off driving is seen as all but inevitable (with regulation changes as necessary) but not having a driver at all is...

re: Qantas launches "Aquire" business frequent flyer program. I am not a tax lawyer but I would be looking at the otherwise deductible provisions for FBT. If a cash upgrade was available, would it be a legitimate company expense? If so, then my understanding is that other payment forms...

Haven't been at that time for a month or two but it was busy enough - pretty much every seat taken (some by bags) in normal area but with only short waits for food or drinks.

In MEL lounge now. Have found a less crowded area to the right of the entrance. I won't say quieter though as it seems to be near the staff only rubbish and recycling areas

Which is what I paid. I think the 500 left is a hangover from a 1500 mile signup bonus years ago.

When I had checked for previous eligible bookings, $300 had been the minimum bid for MER-PER and vv. Now like you I have $150 showing as the minimum bid. Perhaps uptake has not been as strong as VA hoped or they wanted to include some range in there where bids would be unsuccessful. I am...
