    Checked baggage on reward & paid fare

    The rewards MEL-SCL-GRU flights are all showing as LA in the app. I still have to buy the paid LA flight from GRU-VIX so wondering if anyone knows whether luggage will go all the way to VIX or only to GRU. If it would go all the way to VIX, what would happen if I don't have a luggage allowance...

    Checked baggage on reward & paid fare

    I have an upcoming trip which is booked via QFF for the following legs - MEL-SCL-GRU all on LATAM. I need to get to VIX and attempted to book a paid flight from GRU-VIX via the Brazil LATAM website (as the flight cost was cheaper on the Brazil site compared to AU). I got all the way to the end...

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Yes she has a guaranteed spot due to her time and is signing up today for the race. We went to Berlin last month for her 4th star and she ran a pb of 3:02. For that race, we arrived in Germany Thursday lunch time and her body clock seemed to be right by the time the race started on the Sunday...

    The screenshots are showing June but there does seem to be some options around the date we need in Oct so will see what she thinks That sounds like a awesome option. I will definitely look into it and see whether she is happy with the 1 in 10 odds

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Good to know that there is extra capacity scheduled which makes waiting less of a gamble (especially if we are happy with an economy ticket). I really wanted to go to New Orleans but the hurricane season is a risk which we aren't prepared to take. GF hasn't been to South America before and...

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    Thanks for all the advice. Really appreciate it and lots to think about I am leaning towards this option given the advice that Y availability is generally good this far out. That way I only need to pay 5k change fee once if any J availability comes up throughout the year during the big...

    MEL-ORD booking strategy

    My gf is running in the Chicago Marathon on the 12th Oct 25 and looking to secure some reward fights to get there on the 9th Oct. There is a direct QFF flight available to LAX in economy (QF93) arriving at 6am or 7am (Weird that AA shows the flight arriving at 7am while Qantas shows 6am). The...

    Should I be concerned? [Qantas booking on LATAM]

    Lucky you!! Would have loved that to happen to me but the points have now been deducted. I didn't notice it there originally but just checked it again and it is showing. Looks like the Qantas agent was correct and the issue has now been resolved. Have had so much misinformation from them in...

    Should I be concerned? [Qantas booking on LATAM]

    Thanks serfty. Checked the Finnair website and it can't find the booking. The booking shows up on BA, MA and RJ though. I think I might need to call up and request the Latam booking reference number so I can go on the Latam app to confirm if there is a ticket number associated with the booking...

    Should I be concerned? [Qantas booking on LATAM]

    I have made a business class booking on QFF for Latam flight LA805 SCL to MEL direct. The booking issued a error message at the end quoting a booking reference number and that I needed to call up to complete the booking. Rang the call centre and was diverted to the Fiji team. The operator has...

    Thanks for the great feedback on the IC Jimbaran. I will email them and see what they can offer for a room that gets automatically upgraded to Club Lounge access.

    Best Intercontinental in Asia

    Been to Bangkok before but haven't stayed there so will check it out next time. Prefer to avoid it during the muggy season though. Considering going to Beijing or Sanur/Jimbaran IC as they have availability or still go to Vietnam and stay at a different IC

    Best Intercontinental in Asia

    I noticed that hotel when looking for alternatives. It's available for the weekend night certificate and looks like a cool experience. Seems a bit far from the action though so might be a waste of two days just to make use of the certificate but it's in my list of potential options

    Best Intercontinental in Asia

    Trying to use my ambassador free weekend night certificate at the Intercontinental Da Nang but they don't release any availability for this booking type unless it is last minute. Planning go away somewhere warm in Asia during the dates 16 May to 22 May for my gf's birthday. Looking for...

    Velocity alert tools

    Thanks for all the advice. I won't bother signing up to the flight alert tools and have booked the economy flight just so we can get there. Will keep an eye out for one J ticket being released but not holding my breath.

    Velocity alert tools

    Thanks for pointing that out as I was unaware of this. In that case I should definitely book the economy seats getting into Hamburg the day before and cross my fingers that one J flight comes up last minute that she can use. Had a look and there seems to be J flights from DOH to different...

    Velocity alert tools

    Hi I am a new to the Velocity program and trying to determine if it is worthwhile joining one of those flight alert websites for the flights I need. My gf has just managed to get a spot in the Berlin Marathon and needs to get into Berlin by the 27th Sep. Need to find a J class flight for her...

    [Price Error] Melbourne to Azerbaijan $360 Return on Virgin/Etihad

    I assume we would be entitled to the credit as that was what FC offered me so it must be offered to anyone with an Etihad flight. Here are the details of the offer so it isn't much for us https://www.etihad.com/en/manage/request-a-refund/credit-plus-miles/non-eyg-member-enrol I can't see how...
