Textnow is okay with a bit of ads - I have however opened a line with Tello and it works perfectly with wifi calls and sms in Australia.

Were you flying on a KE marketed and operated sector or an EY-marketed KE operated sector ? Lounge access is only for EY marketed and KE operated for lounge access. It is the same setup for ANA and was the setup for NZ. Etihad partners have different levels of partnership for frequent flyer...

The number is not checked - just to pass through the sign-up prompts. We signed up once we passed customs - wifi is mandatory to receive the eSIM - takes less than 5 minutes. It will only work if you open the app in the US, connected to a US IP address - if you try in Australia, it will...

Yes - as long as you can download the app - you will be good to go. Unlimited data and calls throughout the US - it worked very well. You will then be assigned an US phone number. Use the hotel address and their landline to sign up. If the Tmobile service doesn't work, consider the Verizon...

This would be the equivalent of a commercial fare but paid with your miles instead of cash which explains why the figure quoted is astronomical. QF used to also offer those fares on the booking page with points that confused many customers - it has now been moved to the payment page - still...

I was searching yesterday on Etihad and some OTAs and none of them are displaying ZL interline sectors. EY/VA codeshares are always shown first on EY's website -- with VA interline and then QF interline available on OTAs with EY/VA codeshares. I cannot see any ZL sectors connected to EY sectors...

Your luggage will be tagged to LAX with QF. At LAX, retrieve your luggage and check it again with AA.

Does anyone know which fare class in each fare category allows free seat selection prior to check-in ?

Had the same user case - it did not affect my bonus points / minimum spend. Got all my bonus points as signed up.

Use this link once logged-in : https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/postLogin/dashboardqrpcuser/redeem-Avios.html You can then input details - it will then allow you to book VA awards.

None - some lounges allows Qatar Silver holders as noted on Qatar Lounge directory but Singapore is not one of them.

I was able to use a frequent flyer program that awarded Tier Miles no matter which fares I bought. Etihad Guest awards Tier Miles based on distance traveled - even on the lowest Economy Fare at the actual traveled distance. I was able to use this when I started commuting between France and...

Losing lounge access as a Gold/Platinum and making you 'choose' lounge access as a benefit sounds odd (?).

If your e-ticket shows a VA flight number for the VA sector, it should count. On many of my EY e-tickets, if I have a VA flight number for a VA sector, it does indeed count as an eligible sector for Velocity. Reverse is incorrect if it is a EY flight number for a VA sector.

Oman Air's Sindbad program is next to useless - I'd credit your return to Etihad Guest. You will not be able to transfer those miles to VA, but you will be able to redeem those miles for VA sectors. Once redeemed, you can then alter the FF to Virgin Australia to receive elite benefits.

Having just done this yesterday, the CX check-in agent was more than happy to accommodate and was able to cross-check my luggage all the way to IB and issue my boarding passes for the CX sectors through 3 separate PNRs. CX Y to CX J QF rewards to IB Y.

You could get the paid EY status match? EY Gold = Velocity Gold but you'd need 1 EY sector in the next three months to make it last at least a year. Or with the HSBC card - you can choose where to assign the status to a FF of your choice - either Singapore, Aeroplan or United would get you...
