    2019 Family and Friends offer

    Incredible timing. I got a Double SC offer from VA last week (as I'm 25% into my requalifying year apparently), right on time with this sale. Also found out that I needed to be on the Gold Coast for a course - so I pulled the trigger and paid the extra for J (ADL-MEL-OOL rt), netting 500 SC for...

    Lack of curtains separating Business and Economy on 737

    What a great thread! :D Oh, I too have also been told by CSM (as a OWE) on quite a few DOM Y flights (mostly when sitting in 4C/4D) inviting me to use the front toilet. But I never do (feel awkward lol).

    Buy wine. Fly free with Stoneleigh

    I got an offer for ADL-PER - but not on the date requested (April, 1st preference), they gave me July (which I requested for NZ as my 2nd preference), which was surprising, but I'm definitely not complaining. They put me on VA, which was surprisingly more expensive than JQ and even QF ... Good...

    Buy wine. Fly free with Stoneleigh

    Well done on fighting this Bart, hope you get a expeditious and positive outcome. Website should have been clearer on the ID requirements, especially for applications with mixed DOM/INT requests. Your passport is your responsibility, and has nothing to do with them. Their responsibility is...

    Frequent PER-SGN Business class planning

    Availability PER-SIN-SGN generally very good (even booking on short notice), outside of Xmas, Tet. Be prepared to fly SQ225 often on the way back. SQ 215 J availability is harder to come across if booking without much advance.

    Veda - go figure

    Strangely enough, mine is the opposite. Experian is OK, Equifax is great!

    Best use of time in Abu Dhabi Airport

    Absolutely! It sucks, but don't be passive and stand your ground and actively seek the shortest line. It can save you quite a bit of time. There can be lots of pushing and nudging especially when a few busloads empty passengers at once - but stand firm!

    Etihad redemptions on Garuda

    I would also try for the Manchester Call Centre. Search up availability on flying blue, tell them you see availability - and tell them exactly which flight you want. Ask them to create a waitlisted itinerary and ask for them to contact GA to release the seats to Etihad (given partner...

    Best use of time in Abu Dhabi Airport

    You'll have enough time to go to T1 - it's a 10min-ish walk from T3. If you are flying J (AUH-DUB, AUH-PER), then you have access to the EY J lounge, which is nice, but can be packed especially around midnight. I would go to the lounge nearest to your gate. The transit and security process can...

    HFP: 18000 avios for ~aud250

    Just got a response - They said that 9k comes into effect on purchases from 2nd September onwards, and will be honouring the 18k for those who purchased prior to that. Phew!

    HFP: 18000 avios for ~aud250

    Likewise - I got mine at 8pm yesterday ... it still said 18k Avios. Shot them e-mail just to clarify.

    Velocity Platinum to Europe in J - SQ or EY?

    I would also choose EY over SQ; - Infinitely higher chance of OPUP on EY compared to SQ. Like Jack3193, my OPUP rate on EY is almost pushing 40% as VA Plat. - Ignoring the rest of AUH airport, the EY F lounge is very good (used to be better before cost cutting came in). Max wait for shower was...

    Turkish Airlines question

    You can via SQ, and as an extension of that, by transferring VA to SQ. Their redemption chart for Star Alliance partner is below; http://www.singaporeair.com/pdf/ppsclub_krisflyer/charts/StarAlliance_RoundTrip_Aug15.pdf Halve the mileage required for one way journeys.

    AMEX Explorer Card: 100,000 bonus Membership Rewards points (apply by 20/9/2017)

    Just like everyone else here, I'm another with the AMEX Explorer - 100000 points + 400$ travel credit (same as everyone here!) I'd also be grateful if anyone decides to use my like (below). I tend to use my points to go home to PER (from ADL/MEL) to visit family :)...

    Rocketmiles: Earn Airline Miles with Every Hotel Booking. 1000mi for 1st Stay.

    There may be quite a few of you here already who know about Rocketmiles. For those who don't, its another online travel agency - but they reward you with miles after every booking (Not QF or VA - but plenty of other useful ones, eg: BA, UA, AV, SQ, EY et al). For most hotels, it's...
