    How Early Do you Book a Cruise?

    Won't be an issue on Celebrity (different for 5000+ pax but that's not the case here). Visible from most of the open deck so there's more than enough space for all. Some will go on balconies, other areas in any case.

    Qantas to operate evacuation flights from Lebanon via Cyprus to Sydney

    They're just the company getting paid by the Aust government to do this. Not sure what reason they would have to refuse the job?

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    That would be the way. I've seen stories from others where they had a booking with their FF entered, but when they got their boarding pass had another FF showing. They then tried to correct afterwards, but found it was refused due to points being credited, and were able to find out that a fake...

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    If you know enough to make last minute bookings and get multiple accounts to pay for them, I'm sure they know the contact centre hours to know the best/safest time to get bookings when the office is closed and nothing can be done. Again, Velocity could do something about that - but don't seem...

    Fraud on Velocity Frequent Flyer accounts

    Add another one to the ones impacted. Last night got an email swarm (1400 emails in an hour, signing up to new email lists, password resets from unknown sites, email enquiries and other things), was working through them and found the 'your details have been updated' from VFF without saying...

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    On the topic of lounges, wonder if they'll stick with their 'no international lounge access policy for VA flights'... :p

    Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

    Not sure how much 'control' VA have here. Given that it's only on feeder routes for QR, and not even on a route that has a lot of destination traffic of its own, and not on any other routes, and not with any VA crew/personnel involvement, and where QR has long been seeking an increase in its own...

    Cruising Indonesia in December

    Depends on your aim - are you staying mostly on the ship, or in air conditioned tours? Or are you keen to spend a lot of time exploring the sights?

    Needed to be said….Mentour Pilot discusses the fall of QF

    Bias - or just doing their job? The media are not publishing research papers for academia. They are reporting 'news'. And they have an interest to attract attention, as well as the natural bias towards what's recently heard or already in focus that applies to all humans e.g. politicians, and...

    VA “secret announcement”

    Meanwhile they don't even mention/celebrate Australia Day, which is even bigger in terms of that market. Only inclusive for some apparently.

    VA “secret announcement”

    As always, the more hype tried to generate before the announcement... the more underwhelming the actual announcement that it's for.

    Booked velocity biz reward flights and just realized there is ONE letter wrong on the name a few days out... am I screwed??

    QR's rules say they won't make any changes/corrections to award tickets. However, per this older thread they say under 3 characters wrong should be okay, especially if it's not in the last name as sounds the case here, with only one character wrong...

    Velocity Award Booking - Force Connection to Specific Flight

    It's not something they offer. They can book them as separate flights (subject to individual availability), but not combine them on a single ticket. Only the connecting flights that are shown are offered.

    Air India identity theft?

    Terrible story to go through. Unfortunately the way that was handled by their support is quite typical.

    Article: Loyalty Program Devaluations Are Inevitable, But Not Giving Notice Is Poor Form

    Agree with the above. I also never understood the rationale. That is because the underlying fares paying for the points earned have similarly increased over time. So they have earned more revenue to pay for those points. Now, maybe lately more points have come from external sources than flights...

    Incorrectly upgraded to Plat due to Flybuys issue plus poor support

    Where does it say it terminates the agreement to share data - which in any case is company wide (across all members), not individual. I don't see anywhere that it backdates and overrides linkages in effect for transactions prior to the termination. 1723135729 Why would that be? The linkage...

    Incorrectly upgraded to Plat due to Flybuys issue plus poor support

    Not seeing it that way myself. The significant event is the accrual, not the posting. So as they were linked when points were accrued, they [eventually] flow through. This is consistent with many other aspects such as promotions and even SC and points earning on flights. i.e. you register your...

    15-20% bonus points when transferring to Velocity in May-June 2024

    Haven't seen anyone get any auto transfers yet, while lots of manual, so that would be the same I expect.

    15-20% bonus points when transferring to Velocity in May-June 2024

    No joy here yet - though it was auto set, in June.
