    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    How does it work for international interline ticket holders (Etihad and Delta)? Would they risk no-shows, instances of refused check-ins to then take over the impacted tickets and reissue on other carriers or would they take the risk to wait and assess?

    ST lounge does not have an agreement with MU so all MU passengers are sent to QF.

    Reward seat availability on partner airline (Air France)

    I'd just book what is left, it is high peak season summer in Europe and I doubt AF would release further award seats.

    USA Entry - CBP Mobile Passport control app [MPC]

    I used the app with my Australian Passport (entered the US previously with my French Passport) and had no trouble going through. It took us less than 2 minutes to pass immigration at SFO - clear designated lines for MPC.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Anytime up to 24hrs prior to scheduled departure - 7500 points or $60 dollars per person. If you have booked a reward ticket via UA that goes through the US, you have 24 hours from the time you have booked it to cancel it free of charge if the flight date is more than 7 days away. So, if I...

    I did receive it on my first invoice - it was ex-GST so total credit on my bill was $182.82. I have $75 left which are about to run out in the next fews days which should cover a bit over half of our comsumption until the 10-days cooling off period runs out. Good timing!

    Classic Award Booking Cancellation Fees & Refund Processing Time

    I’ve canceled 2 awards ex-CDG. Got the refunds on my French Amex a few days later however the points were stuck somewhere for a good month. A quick message thread via Messenger and my points appeared instantly minus the cancellation fee. Might be worth sending a quick message instead of...

    Your recommended no fee credit card

    Bendigo B Ready is a great contender to BankWest, I've found - however awaiting for my others cards to be closed down before opening a new card.

    Access to Etihad Business & Partner Lounges flying ‘cheapest’ business award flight

    Etihad allows lounge access for all business fares - no matter revenue or awards. They have not started (yet!) to strip off lounge access with specific fares.

    Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer: Up to 60,000 bonus Velocity Points

    Ah that's good to know. I had not been rejected for any other cards, just wanted to churn to the Virgin Money credit card and then close the Citi account. It did not work so I closed Citi first, waited two months, applied for a Virgin Money card and was then approved.

    Credit Card Offers Virgin Money Velocity Flyer: Up to 60,000 bonus Velocity Points

    I've found last time that I was rejected by Virgin Money, as an existing Citi Credit Card holder, it did not result in a credit check at all, just an instant rejection. I cannot see any credit check entry on my credit files. I imagine their back-end system matched up my data within Citi's...

    Changing FF number on Award booking

    You can book with your velocity points and you can change the FF Program while booking. Should be no problems. I book EY awards via VF points and change my FFP to Etihad Guest. I did the same with 2x QR awards FFP changed to Privilege Club.

    Discounts for Buying a New Sony Phone?

    It means that your call is going through as data-packets over 4G/5G instead of a proper voice call via the 3G network. You need to check that the phone has VOLTE/VOWIFI in their specifications - they usually all do now - however, what you need to check is that Telstra is supported in their...

    Discounts for Buying a New Sony Phone?

    I'd be triple-checking that the phone supports VOLTE/VOWIFI for Australian phone providers - otherwise you will not be able to call over 4G networks. My European Android phone does not support any VOLTE/VOWIFI settings for Australian phone providers - making the phone useless here.
