Just returned from a week a Shanghai. Agree to the above point about roaming sims bypassing the VPN. I had purchased and downloaded a NomadSIM for China prior to my trip. It also worked instantly and I was able to bypass the firewall. Just remember, if you connect to the hotel wifi, the apps...

Not sure how it works for Qantas, but i tried something similar to plan B at DXB flying Emirates. I had my wife with me in the first lounge. They scanned her BP. Then I tried to take my brother into business lounge which was on the lower level. As soon as I scanned my BP, it said my eligible...

$250! Much less than the flight price

Interestingly, Norfolk Island fares are similar on both portals

Has anyone used the banker bookings towards business class fares. I was trying to use them to book trans-tasman flights now that there is a sale. I noticed a big discrepancy in pricing between the Normal website and the Flight credit options even though both a "business sale" fares. Is this...

The NZ routes are on sale too atm and as a result the classic plus rewards are less than what you would normally pay for the classic reward.

False alarm. All the SCs and DSCs landed but in bizarre order with the first 2 flights arriving the last. Overall, almost 300 SC for 20k miles :)

If your flight isnt till August, and you dont need the points back immediately, just wait and see if there is any involuntary schedule changes. I had a 10 minute change on a flight and that was enough to get the cancellation fee waived.

This offer seems to have come back in another form. This time, only 30k bonus points is provided. https://www.velocityfrequentflyer.com/partners-offers/credit-cards-banking-insurance/Velocity-Frequent-Flyer-card-bonus-Points-2024

Great find. I played around with the dates and found what you mean. Although, this particular one is not an A330, it might still be worth it for an SC run :) Edit: Have you seen this work with any other city pairs? Or is this limited to CNS only? Re-edit: Seems to work with Australian city...

Update: On flight #3 for the day, which has posted SC. However, flight #1 and #2 havent yet. Quite strange

However, cant see the field for FF number on the boarding pass. I have no status with AS, so it must be set up right

Yep, digital boarding pass only. Reflecting Qantas Status on it. Will report back

Currently on a status run to use up the last of those 20k AS qantas redemptions booked during the DSC ("not possible anymore with the new award chart") I havent had the SC for my first flight post yet. Probably panicking too early but they usually post within 30 mins of landing 🤣

Does AS redemptions on QF as points club no longer earn SC?

It would be interesting to see how the fares would compare booking on VA code vs the NZ code for the same flight. Would there be cost penalty to the customer to offset the commission that VA pays NZ?

If you are traveling with a checkin bag, what is the earliest that one can check in at MEL for a 2:50pm departure on QF9?

Is that 15 including Oman Air?

In SIN QF F till 8 15 pm. Can guest 1

On today's China Eastern flight from Shanghai to Singapore, the seat belt sign was on the whole flight. No one including the crew seemed to be bothered by it. It was a bumpy flight.
