Ye Yes that will be super interesting. Let’s see if they will become a full member or a Star Alliance connect partner.

I am sorry to read this :( I would continue to try every day and maybe reach out to their Sales Teams from Australia. Usually via Linkedin, could be a possibility.

Have you been able to book a room at the end ?

Etihad has been teasing an event on the 19th of October. See below on their Facebook page : 'We trust the stars to define our journey. A new constellation will soon adorn the skies...

If you can buy the phone and the watch directly - I would suggest at looking at Boost Mobile. Prepaid but has access to the full Telstra Network + pretty much unlimited calls to many destinations. I use it all the time to call France and Europe. The cons are - no roaming yet + no connected...

You can book QR metal flights / VA marketed on VA website but I struggle to find a full list of destinations served. BNE-CDG always results in BNE-MEL-DOH-CDG when I can book BNE-DOH-CDG on QR operated/VA marketed with Amex travel. Seems that some work is still necessary.

Usually, with EY they always check through the bags to the final destination. If it's the same flight I was looking at yesterday (albeit was too late to the party) - it has a 1.15h or 1.35h layover time in BRU so it might be hard to convince the ground crew at MEL. Please report! Very lucky to...

Good morning, I flew to Paris in July and had a 24h layover on my way to France and 14h on my back to Brisbane, used the hotel twice and it was great. Once arrived in France, I waited 24h before booking the return hotel room - as you cannot have two hotel rooms reservations at the same date...

Bonsoir, I have 2x QF lounge invitations (General) to give to a fellow member or members - have not used them as I have elite status. Expiry date - 21st of September 2022 - so hopefully someone can make good use of them before next week. Merci! :cool:

Is there a list somewhere of VA/QR codeshares? The VA newsrooms article only lists a few but not all. When I try to book BNE-CDG - it always routes me BNE-MEL-DOH-CDG instead of the direct BNE-DOH flight that pops up when I search BNE-LHR on the VA website. I hope that EY will stick around -...

https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/our-partners.VA.html#poi-tab-BW0BV Looks like you can only earn status on QR marketed / VA operated and not VA marketed AND VA operated for Privilege Club card holders. Just like SQ.

Yes - because VA allows you to use your points for cash - which is a terrible use of points. On this case, no rewards seats are available. Try to look an other date to find a Y/J/F reward seat.

Should be no issues - did it several times for BNE J DOM / SYD J DOM / SYD F INT / HNL J INT / LAX J INT

Correct - I only used my card for my ticket purchase and Woolworths and those are correctly reflected on the DC statement - last page of the PDF. Ironically I still have all the paper receipts from my UAE purchases with the DC details. So maybe it might be retrospectively added to my next...

Following up on this : All the purchases I made in the UAE on my way to Europe and then back were charged to my DC. They showed up correctly within the app for the first 5 to 7 days and are now completely dropped off. I also got my statement last week and those charges are no-where to be...

Yes - but they also are allowing wifi calls overseas. As long as your phone is compatible in Australia and has Internet via wifi or the 2nd sim card in your phone, your phone will display Telstra Wifi Calls and you can receive calls as if you were in Australia. You can also call Australian...

I was able to have a shower Saturday 6th around 0600. Was great after a 14h flight.

Etihad recognise VA status very well and you should encounter 0 issue. Etihad contact center is a bit useless - as long as your Velocity number is entered into your booking - it will be acknowledged. Currently on IPhone, but my Manage My Booking Etihad shows my Etihad Platinum extra baggage...

I've used the DC a lot in the US and used it yesterday in the UAE. The charges were very similar to my Macquarie Mastercard for the US. Will wait until the pending drop for the transactions I made yesterday and will report back.

Free seat selection opens at check-in, 30 hours prior to the flight departure - this is correct. Otherwise, have to pay. I think Etihad still makes you pay if you choose an Etihad Space Y Seat at anytime prior to the flight departure.
