    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Straight forward request today PER-ADL for next weekend (end of SA School Holidays). N9 - 1x seat (Y) immediately approved. Better than paying overs (500 AUD) for a short 2:50 flight.

    Experience using Citibank credit card insurance?

    I had to claim on Credit Card Travel insurance for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. I had a flat tyre in Banff on the morning of driving back to YYC. Took a while for me to get it changed (rental-car, 4am, dark). By the time I had reached the airport, I missed the check-in/bag drop...

    Issues with using Velocity for J tickets originating US to Australia

    Until very recently, UA releasing J availability (USA-AUS) via Velocity has been exceptionally consistent T7-14. To the point where I was able to book my wife UA J LAX-SYD with 2 days notice, only last month. I’ve just done a search LAX/SFO-SYD/MEL/BNE, and there’s literally nothing T7 -...

    QF26 HND-SYD Schedule Change - Now departing 06:50, previously 08:40

    Or how about NH with the more sociable departure time of 0835? Either that, or the red-eye with NH/JL/QF.

    Velocity reward ticket with Qatar. Lounge access if OWE.

    Yes, OWE benefits apply if your QF number is attached to the booking (which you can potentially do online, or at check in). You’ll have access to the Al Mourjan lounge in Doha, because you are flying in J. OWE otherwise would have access to the inferior Platinum Lounge in Doha.

    New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

    Old BNE CL was in the old-old QP, overlooking the check-in area, separate to the current lounge complex. It was, indeed a dimly-lit shoebox. PER is styled very similarly to both CBR and SYD (think QF-F with more olive green seats/panels).

    How long is too long in the (F) Lounge?

    I wouldn't spend any more than 3 hours in QF-F. Enough for a nice, slow paced meal, maybe a shower. I don't think any lounge is worth staying > 3 hours (apart from those with bedrooms eg QR Al Safwa, where you could sleep off a long lay over, or the QR J Garden lounge with a gym where I could go...

    Best airline for status on Star Alliance

    This has nothing to do with flying MS, but rather using their FF program to credit flights from one of 26 *A members to them and taking advantage of status pooling.

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    No problems, I’ll just direct more of my Domestic Y flying to VA and save quite a bit of money, with more YX seats to choose from (for free!!)

    Virgin partner award points refund time

    I would personally call them up at least 24 hours before hand. Be mindful of the opening hours of the call centre. I have booked and cancelled plenty of speculative partner redemptions on VA recently over the call centre. Points are re-deposited very quickly, and taxes shortly after. Complete...

    New look QFF My Account page

    Oh ... I've had that (new) for a few weeks now. Don't mind the look.

    Velocity points redemption payment error?

    Worst case scenario, call VA up to assist with the redemption and ask them to waive the phone assistance fee (because of how cough their website is).

    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    Please, it's better than having them go wasted. I hardly ever buy flex fares - this change means that at least I'm able to get 1 upgrade instead of none.
