On an ADL-SYD trip on Qantas a couple of weeks ago (mid-afternoon on a Friday), there was only one member of QF staff at the boarding gate. There must have been 30+ people in the Priority Boarding queue but the QF staff member took alternating people from the Priority and Regular Queues for...

Re: HHonors Promotions I received the offer as a flyer (apologies for the pun!) in a recent letter from Virgin Money, so it should be kosher. The registration site works (and recognises card-type etc.) and I've got the two qualifying bookings lined up. I was going to book those stays anyway...

I'd suggest asking to see the damage reports from the previous rental if there's any dispute. I hired a car from East Coast Rentals in ADL and checked the car out in poor light on an inspection led by the manageress who was marking the damage as she went. When I checked the car back in, the guy...

Re: HHonors Promotions Fast-track to HHonors Gold for VISA Infinite card-holders (e.g. Virgin Money Velocity High Flyer Visa card). Complete 2 qualifying stays or 4 qualifying nights within 90 days of registration via this link www.visa-promotions.com/promotions/HiltonHHonour/tnc.jsp

I've had a refund from a cancelled annual subscription that was processed onto a cancelled credit card that was issued by my main bank :shock: Luckily, I could still see the card via online banking and noticed that it had gone into credit. When I spoke to them, they happily transferred the...

Has anyone flown F on Emirates from Adelaide? I've splurged several years' worth of Qantas points on a EK F / CX J return trip to the UK as I'm only going to be there for a week and want to be reasonably fresh and rested when I land. My question is about lounge access and departures procedures...

Plus it's more hygienic than everyone in their PJ's sleeping directly on the seat itself.......!

On my last flight, they were stashing the mattresses in the space behind some of the seats (from memory it was behind Row 4, between the seat and the bulkhead, and possibly also behind Row 5, if there's a space there?), so no locker space required.....

J+J for me too; J will be very enjoyable and the gap between F and J is nowhere near as large as the chasm to hell that separates J and Y on Etihad....... I've done SYD-AUH in J on VA (very enjoyable) but then onto Etihad in Y for AUH-LHR. Etihad are 10-across in economy on the 777 which (as a...

Same here, and about 80-90% of the time they've been cheaper than booking directly with Hertz, Avis or whoever

Almost unbelievably, this STILL hasn't been fixed as the same issue cropped up yesterday when I went to book a flight using a voucher from a previously-cancelled trip...... Same e-mail sent, $88 change fee will have to be refunded........

Done - I've asked them to post their reply on this thread

Can the VFF rep on this site confirm that Comfort+ (W) class booked on the Delta website for flight(s) on Delta metal WILL earn Velocity points (at 1.25 per mile) AND SC's? I'll try sending a PM pointing to this thread to see whether they can confirm things.......

I think the Delta website is quoting the two-way price in the screengrab, which would fit with +$20 o/w......

Delta has changed how Comfort+ is handled and it IS now a separate class - I booked directly into Comfort+ (W class) on the Delta website earlier this month. I've attached a screengrab of a random LAX-SFO dummy booking to show how Delta now work things; an additional US$40 (or thereabouts) to...

Agreed, juddles - how many people have had a nasty shock on the day of their flight because they didn't know that the little exclamation marks on the Select Your Flights page means that it's a mixed-class booking? Harvyk - I'm not disagreeing with the overall level of complexity that lies...

Where's the "Dislike" button - I quite enjoyed my $170+ refund :p ?

Plus there was the screw-up where the change fees (and sometimes the CC fees) were not included in the Total Amount Due, so QF had to refund these when requested by the customer........ :) Haven't had an opportunity to see whether they've fixed this yet....

You could make that sentence one word shorter and still factually correct by removing the word "airline" :p:p

I'll be in the SYD Domestic Lounge from 5:30 to 7:30-ish this evening
