    Red with 1215 status credits can someone help with eligible sectors

    1300 SCs within a re qualification period for partner gold, so 1300 after you hit platinum for the first time.

    PERTH dinner and drinks - Wednesday 12 March

    Had a look around but couldn't identify a likely group. Everyone looked like they were only on first drinks, no WP tags in sight, most tables had a chair or two as shadows and there wasn't even any Lurpak in view. Oh well, maybe next time

    PERTH dinner and drinks - Wednesday 12 March

    I will try and drop past for what would be my first AFF event. Is someone able to PM me a mobile number in case I can't work out which group is the AFF group?

    A330 - XFA/B - Refit?

    If you are referring to booking system seat selection as opposed to check in system seat selection, then on these A332 flights I have never been able to make use of that within 48-54 hours of departure even in those cases where it does show the seat map.

    You can now upgrade from Saver fare with points

    Re: Upgrades from Saver I am hoping that the saver upgrade points rates underwent the same level of proofing as the updated ammendments webpage and that they will be corrected to a more sane level Otherwise their main purpose appears to be to attempt to make the flexi upgrades look good value...

    Account roll over delay

    Hopefully the new card arrives promptly, as this might still use up more of your validity post rollover. I still don't see the need for this extended review. Yesterday I called up to have my partner given companion gold having crossed 1,300 status credits. The check for validity took all of...

    US Dividend Miles - Award Booking Questions and General Discussion

    Both accounts (partner and I) eligible for 75% offer, although when loading mine did flick through 25% and 50% before displaying 75%. There is a good stock of miles in each account, so 75% isn't tempting enough.

    I'm in the VA Lounge thread

    In PER now; and someone was just allowed to walk away with two drinks (one wine, one beer). A change in policy or differences between staff?

    Account roll over delay

    I don't mind that they need to check and audit, but for those who hit re qualification months early, why not check in between then and the end date?

    US Dividend Miles - Award Booking Questions and General Discussion

    My partner got an email last night to congratulate her on becoming a USDM Silver Preferred member. She has not flown on US or AA in the last 12 months, but does have a healthy USDM balance all from purchases.

    Erk's 2014 Pacamerican Circle

    I can see how having a curtain in the room would still make it feel more natural (and help sound reduction) despite having only a wall behind it. Still you would get a few surprised people if they tried to open it.

    Velocity announces partnership with Starwood Preferred Guest

    ...and now we have American blogs discussing how to get/buy points for Australian frequent flyer programs due to specific good value redemptions - this feels very back to front :eek: eg. Unlocking the Virgin Australia Award Chart (Now that They're a Starwood Transfer Partner) - View from the...

    A330 - XFA/B - Refit?

    Apparently the old Emirates seats are quite comfortable, provided you like the service and fly for free: Flight test: Emirates business class Note to Virgin: if you allow me to fly free whenever XFA or XFB is operating my service, I am happy to promote it as being excellent value for money for me

    The Yamanote drivers even look a little like airline pilots - well, airline pilots with white gloves if my memory serves correctly

    Erk's 2014 Pacamerican Circle

    One thing I find interesting about Tokyo public transport (especially JR above ground) is that they run such an efficient and high capacity system on what is not gleaming new infrastructure or even seemingly designed for anything near current loads. You can see that from some of the shots of...
