I assumed my first international destination would be SIN - both from my preference for SE asia and covid-safe reasons. But looking at pricing in January..... round trip pricing is less than a $1000 more to fly to YVR. Now i have to decide if i want to go to canada in winter?! :eek:

Got platinum for first time SEP19 after completing a grand RTW trip in QF and AY business! :) I will be plat for longer with borders closed than i was prior (6 months). Used status for a first lounge visit on a international JQ flight stopping in CNS Nov19. And then again on a dogleg...

wow... i am in shock...... i dont know how i did this but i have somehow paid for 2 o/w MEL-CNS non refundable fares worth $480 with 64,000 QF points!!! o_O From all accounts, they saying it was a points and pay scenario, and therefore is not a reward booking. So QF is saying nothing to see...

I just attained platinum April 2020 for the first time .... useless for me after just cancelled 2 international trips already. A completely wasted year What happens if I've already retained my status, will it still be extended by 12 months? No. If you’ve already retained your status then you...

good evening. Have started a dialogue with travel agent re RTW and it is proving to be difficult with availability for september (in and out of USA, and into japan). After much too-ing and fro-ing i thought we had it in the bag, but then when it was on paper, i had overnight stay in HEL for...

re: Avianca "Lifemiles" - Questions and Discussion was able to purchase 2 X 5000 just now, and stopped at third attempt. I did not purchase my full allocation first time around, so with this discount, average cost is back to the 2 for 1 rate for me, so im happy!

We passed thru Changi last month enroute to Vietnam, and took advantage of picking up $$ when connecting on the way thru, and shopping when departing after stop over on way back. First time we were able to utilize this nice perk. Line was not too bad - 5? maybe - except for the 1 "numpty"...
