    Advice: re pursuing possible misleading Economy X pricing display on Virgin website

    Not to mention wasting the time of the public servants - in the end that increases our taxes if they spend time pursuing frivolous complaints.

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    This post has me concerned but I don’t think it’s correct based on QF’s own FAQs on the issue.

    Advice: re pursuing possible misleading Economy X pricing display on Virgin website

    Unfortunately, while misleading, I think you misunderstood the VA promo. You will see each of the discounted seats has a red symbol on it. None of the forward Economy X seats have that symbol. Looks like $50 was correct and only the exit rows were $15.

    Qatar Airways Lounge in Singapore T1

    To be honest, if you’re in J or F just skip all the other lounges and head straight to QR if its open. (unless on QR or AY business light fares) If you’re WP - QF First is best. If you’re SG - EK is best.

    Qantas Passenger Discrimination Case

    I’m glad QF has a policy and enforces it, although it needs to be simple and fair to deal with. I don’t want US-style flights that look more like a farm than public transport for humans.

    Velocity Platinum Complimentary Upgrades

    Yep. Not to mention half the time Flex Y can be close to or more expensive than Discount J. Good for corporate pax who cannot book J I guess. Not sure if it was a mistake, but last time I redeemed it to CNS I was able to upgrade both legs despite Business Rewards seats only showing one-way.

    Permit Needed for Medications brought to Thailand ?

    I don’t know but there does seem to be a lot of weed dispensaries in bangkok. I assumed it was legal. Maybe they sell something else.

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    Interesting. Considering there are credit cards in the US that hand out free HHD, I think that seems like a low estimate. E.g. per AMEX financial statements, there are apparently 60m+ Amex cards on issue in the US. If 0.5% of those are Hilton Aspire cards then there’d be 300,000 HHD right...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Unless you’re WP1 or your agent doesn’t want to wait, they’re all pretty much declined on the spot. October also represents the Northern Summer / Winter timetable reset (although its end of Oct not beginning) but that can influence what’s released and when.

    Etihad Terrible Customer Service

    Agree with @Scr77 … you have only one flight, good time to quit while you’re….Behind. Why so desperate to give EY more of your hard earned when it treats like garbage?

    SQ First MEL Lounge, Private Room Menu and Suites

    A few more pictures from the latest trip: SQ262 SYD-SIN 777 First It was breakfast in the SYD SilverKris First Lounge so nothing special. But it was serving up Charles Heidsieck 2013 which was impressive for a lounge outside SIN. First up the refreshment. Khao Thom Kai served with Krug...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    I would check begs almost every time if airlines met this standard. I think Delta used to have a 20min guarantee. However, if implemented today, QF and VA would be in administration by Christmas from losses on points.

    Subscriptions: Lies, lies, and more lies from Qantas Wine

    Three grand is a lot of subscriptions. I had no hassle cancelling mine last month. You may have just been unlucky.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I sought seats for a sibling for next year MEL-SIN-LHR in Y. August 2025. MEL-SIN N9O9Q9 - 1x X approved SIN-LHR N9O9Q9 - 1x X denied LHR-SIN N9O9Q9 - 1x X approved SIN-MEL N9O9Q9 - 1x X approved Very odd. Tried multiple days and SIN-LHR no go. Thought Y would be no problem. EDIT: WP

    AFR's Joe Aston goes BAM!

    Our defamation laws are absurd and have a reverse burden of proof. I’d be amazed if a modern writer put anything to paper about someone else without a folder of evidence to back it up. Agreed, we will find out the truth soon enough.
