    No Virgin Redemptions Using Krisflyer Miles

    Thats useful information. I don't actually want to make a booking at this time, just be prepared for when I do. "Award redemptions for partner airlines can be done via KrisFlyer Membership Services and will be available for redemption on singaporeair.com progressively." I may well have...

    No Virgin Redemptions Using Krisflyer Miles

    Last night I noticed on the Singapore Airlines app that when trying to book a domestic flight in Australia that it won't allow you to even put the destination city in. Unlike the web site where both departure and destinations can be entered and then get no results. No reply from my e-mail to...

    I've contacted SQ using a form on their web site. I'll share here when I get a reply.

    No Virgin Redemptions Using Krisflyer Miles

    Really poor service is an understatement. I rang SQ call centre yesterday to ask why Virgin redemptions were not showing for Krisflyer domestic bookings. Was transferred to someone who allegedly was an expert. I was asked which routing I was looking at. I had randomly looked at SYD - MEL in...

    No Virgin Redemptions Using Krisflyer Miles

    There don't appear to be any Virgin domestic award bookings using Krisflyer miles at the moment. Looking at different routes and dates brings up blanks. I have checked using Velocity points and award seats are available on the same routes and dates I am looking at in Krisflyer. I am using the...

    Whats the most amount of flights you took to reach your destination

    5 years ago I planned to go to the US for a golf tournement at the end of a holiday in Europe. I had a J ticket booked. I changed my mind and decided to head home instead and being the stubborn so and so that I am I was determined to come home in J and flew ATH - AMM- DXB - AKL- MEL - HBA.

    Do you get tempted to indulge in the lounge, just because it's "free"?

    I usually enjoy a few beers in whatever lounge I'm in. I don't overindulge and have about 3 at most. A few years ago, we flew from Townsville to Sydney and due to a storm at Sydney airport with lightning we were stuck on the plane for 3 hours. Being very claustrophobic I was very relieved...

    What was your first flight?

    My first flight was in 1952 when I was 3 months old from Hobart to Sydney. My mother was from Sydney and moved down to Hobart with her parents after the war. Her parents moved back to Sydney and Mum stayed and married Dad. As I got older, we would semi regularly fly back and forward between...

    Off to Europe in J. A380-800 vs 777-300ER vs A350-900

    Makes sense. Living in Hobart we have always departed o'seas from MEL or SYD.

    Off to Europe in J. A380-800 vs 777-300ER vs A350-900

    I'm also looking at September 2023 to ZRH or AMS. How can you tell which is the short haul A350 and which is the long haul?

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    I'm retired and check mine on-line nearly every day! Not good last few days with the US markets in free fall.

    QR withholding award seats from Qantas?

    Haven't looked for a few days but I was consistently seeing around 2 days of AMS-DOH-CBR on QR for June/July 2023.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    If a booking is made pre 5 July at the old miles rates and is later cancelled (not changed) post 5 July would all miles be returned without penalty?

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Moderators: I suggest that TTL (ticketing time limit) be added to the Abbreviations list.

    Saver Awards to/from Oz appear to have dried up!

    Well done. I'm hoping to do the same flight for September 2023 in either direction depending on what scraps QF offers up in the other direction.

    KrisFlyer redemption rates increasing [from 5/7/22]

    Fair call. I'm moving into my 70's this year and we've seen as much as we want to overseas. One more to the US and then a train journey through eastern Europe and then it's domestic only. I have just enough KF miles and QF points for J seats for 2 so I'm not worried about burning them all.

    KrisFlyer redemption rates increasing [from 5/7/22]

    I'll be booking for travel to or from Europe in September 2023 using Krisflyer miles. Personally I'm happier to wait until the flights open up and cop the 10% extra miles (hopefully in J Saver seats). I rather do that than go through the hassle, risk and stress of booking now and trying to...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Last week I called 131313 twice between 7.00am and 7.30am and both were answered within 5 minutes. I was hoping for Hobart to answer but both calls were taken in Fiji. The outcome wasnt great but acceptable. BTW it is a holiday in Hobart today.
