Received an extra internet voucher on a recent F sector with QR. This one is unused and only redeemable in-flight, I hope this is of use to someone lucky!

I'd call again, you might have better luck with a different agent.

Had 3 flights with SA last week, I struggled to get them to recongise virgin australia as a partner airline. I had to show them this page in conjunction with my physical card: In some instances they still weren't convinced and told me that these benefits are for star alliance only and VA is...

For those interested, this was the F cellar for the flight. I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed the selection (particularly the reds). Wrapped it up with the tawny port - cabin attendant thought I asked for a tonic where she then asked whether I wanted ice and lemon. Was a funny interaction when I...

Recent DOH-PER flight in F. Current Al Safwa menu: Al Safwa Dining - En For dinner I had grilled salmon: And dessert: On the plane: Opted for the caviar and then lobster roll for supper: For breakfast, the omelette then finished it off with fresh fruit:

Some more frustrations with QR: flew out of CPT flying Y with my platinum VA number linked yesterday. Upon using the business class check-in, I was told I was ineligible to use that line as it's for oneworld priority or business class customers only. I showed them the press release on the...

Does anyone find it frustrating that the ticket doesn't acknowledge velocity status and therefore the priority boarding benefit? Priority boarding is important for me as I like to get my carryon luggage in the bins before it's overflowing with oversized luggage, the problem is I have to keep...

Yeah I've heard about that, this one is back to Perth so it'll be on the a380 with a proper F cabin

Dinner on PER-DOH last night (J) I've flown numerous J products over the years and I'm finally giving QR a go now that they've buttoned up their partnership with VA. Probably the best J products I've experienced, felt more like a First lite than a Business plus. Looking forward to my first F...

Priority boarding fail this morning on VA551 SYD-PER. Gate agents began general boarding before priority boarding. Priority boarding didn't begin until a second gate agent appeared sometime later and began scanning BPs in the priority lane.

Yes I've noticed this too. It applies to all international flights, I suspect they supress this information because partner airlines may not be suppling this information through VA's Sabre integration. Easier to have no fields than null fields. If you need to work out velocity points earn (for...

Using a domestic lounge for an international flight is such a compromise. If you have to factor in time to pass security again (in some instances), immigration, travelling to gate after that etc. it kinda defeats the purpose of a lounge. Also if your flight gets delayed, it's not like you can...

I can live with a recliner for international medium haul but no lounge is a dealbreaker for me. I generally arrive for international flights earlier than domestic and lounges are a godsend when things go wrong.

It's business. It's up to the individual as to whether it's "worth it". I'd say this is pretty good value given that it's 2 J sectors for $405 with double SCs. Every status credit you earn has a 12 month expiry. The SCs that were earned less than 12 months from review will roll over but will...

Hopefully he brought his own food for the flight, unfortunately they don't serve whole onions onboard

Yes

I passed through last month, not many options. If you've got enough space between flights you're better off heading to the beach. I did spend sometime at the glasshouse bar at mcy last time I was there but it's nothing special, I guess the novelty is that you can sit outside (airside) with a...
