    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    Me Bank is also a good competitor - deposit 2k in the cheque account/month and ensure saving balance is higher than last month to get 5.55%. Also, their card is fee-free overseas for card purchases (Visa Card) and cash withdrawals - which I find is a plus compared to BOQ. If unable, BOQ is...

    Etihad Guest miles be used to book Virgin Domestic?

    I always call and try to book it over the phone - 50% success when I try so you might have to call several time to get it booked.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    That's incorrect - agreed - I use it all the time. You can use SIM 1 for internet connection - then you set up SIM 2 - likely Telstra - on a network that they can not roam (or turn off roaming in my Telstra app) - the phone will then establish a connection to Telstra servers, allowing you to...

    SkyTeam Status Match - ITA Airways

    The app lets me gift status again to an other Volare account. It restricted me up until the status was extended again. Could potentially recreate a dummy account in January next year to get Elite Plus for a further one year.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    The good think about the 15's is that you can use 2 eSims at the same time - giving you even more flexibility overseas. Great setup!

    Garuda Status Match for Qantas Platinum/Gold

    I have gifted status to my brother - yet the offer is still showing up on my account. Have you tried to give it to a second person ? I'd like to 'gift it' to myself again! I already have Gold with KQ Asante but AZ is now finally integrated with almost all ST airlines - only AF/KL for Asante.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Royal Jordanian Status Match - paid status match only available to specific countries and programs. Can only match up to OW Sapphire - would be enough for J lounges.

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Same here - extended to 31/03/24 and 5 lounge passes valid up to 01/04/2024. Might have to still apply to the RJ Status Match to keep access up until the end of the year. I had trouble accessing the TSV QF lounge last week - the lounge attendant was not letting us in up until the QR FF number...

    Is Citi Plus still the best option for overseas cash?

    For BOQ - BPAY payments counts toward the 5x transactions a month. For Westpac, I found that Beem It card transfers from my Westpac to BOQ card also works - if that helps !

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    You should be able to get the Aeroplan Card via the Air Canada app and you can then import your card to Wallet or Google Wallet. I've received my physical card via mail later on automatically - show the digital card to get access in the meantime. I'll let someone chime else regarding the...

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    You will have to add your Aeroplan number to your booking to get access to the lounges and priority benefits. Unsure if you can keep the Velocity number on the booking and enter by showing your Aeroplan 50k Card (ie. to invoice Air Canada for lounge usage).

    Velocity points flight on Etihad

    The Y experience is much nicer if you can get a 787 to/from Australia to Abu Dhabi.

    Adding etihad guest account to virgin flight

    That's odd - make sure to keep your boarding pass and then retro-claim with EY. Should be no issues.

    What is up with Etihad's Australian operations?

    There were some reports that it might be sent to JFK and/or SYD with the newly re-activated airframe that flew back to AUH a few days ago. JFK would make sense - SYD would be great. Please report on your experience on the A351 - I've thoroughly enjoyed my J sector on EY32 - the cabin is...

    What is up with Etihad's Australian operations?

    Yes - there is a 'wall' that separates the Business Cabin from the Economy Cabin. See below a high-definition seat map of that EY J config. https://www.aerolopa.com/ey-773-2
