I asked the helpful agent at check-in to use those two commands and she didn’t see any problems with it. They had to check their SOPs but it all went well and they’ve learnt that ITA was actually recognised by CI systems. (they weren’t aware).

3 out of 4 flights have successfully been posted to my Flying Blue account while using all Elite Plus benefits throughout my journey. FQTS - ITA/AZ FQTV - AF

Nothing apart from cancelling your ticket and rebooking it with VA flight numbers.

I can safely report that China Airlines has integrated ITA in their systems and my SkyTeam Elite Plus status is recognised - printed on my boarding passes, got lounge access in Brisbane and Taipei and better seats with more legroom on my two legs to Asia. Currently at the Plaza Premium at BNE...

I read somewhere that many EY-operated partners awards redemptions were cancelled after too many were released to partner programs (?). Unsure if that’s completely true but that might why you might not see any availability.

I see plenty of availability using the mobile app but nothing via the desktop version. That’s quite bizarre

Can confirm as well !

Yes - create a revenue search ie. BNE-AUH anytime in the year. Once the booking system has returned results - Go to the top right - Click edit search Tick book with miles Edit the city pairs (BNE-SYD for VA as an example or SYD-LAX for AA). Click search again. I found the new system great...

I’ve had overpaid monies paid into my credit card cashed out to my Westpac cheque account with no fees by just going into a branch. That was last year so processes may have changed but someone with common sense will be able to sort it out in 2 minutes. Their call centre is not very good. I’ve...

Thank you - have learnt something today ! I usually always go with the fare letter and all my flights were correctly credited.

Choose the flight you are interested in. Then - click on Fare Basis at the right of the screen First letter is your fare class - in that case L here. Ensure the fare class earn miles/status by checking the QF website as explained by a fellow member several posts above. Enjoy !

You'll receive an automatic email from VA Travel Bank - it's tied to your Velocity number.

It’s super easy - once you have your e-sim set up - go to settings and cellular - and ensure that you choose the eSIM for data connection. You can have both SIM cards on at the same time.

Hopefully will be back in the next few weeks. FlyerTalk users mentioned that the offer would end on 30SEP.

No, unfortunately not possible to transfer anything between Privilege Club and Virgin. You would however be able to transfer miles from Privilege Club to the British Airways Executive Club.

I think it's more of an IT issue in the background. I am Plat on EY and my boarding pass in the VA App - GWallet or Apple Wallet is always red I am however sorry to read that this happened to OP - would not have expected it from an airport Staff.

I don't think that would work - the personnel at MEL airport are outsourced to dnata if I remember correctly and won't be able to do much. Maybe the station manager might be around but he/she would be too busy to look at it. I'd look up management on Linkedin - the best possible solution.

I am just wary of the additional premium they seem to be charging on premium awards: 'A premium redemption fare will be applied based on demand and availability.' I read it as only applicable for EY (?). Typical Etihad - but let's see how it goes. I'd like to see as well what the availability...

https://www.etihadguest.com/en/spend-miles/new-redemption-tables.html It's not as bad as I was expecting... VA awards are now a bit costlier for anything above 500 miles compared to the token 6900 miles in Y. Need to check through the usual others routes I fly with VA.

I have just received my $95 VA credit today. Time to close the card.
