Currently travelling to the EU or UK it really doesn't matter which passport you use to enter...until either implements any sort of visa or ETA (which I think is in the works?) Australians can happily use the eGates and enter without a visa.

Yes, there's an option to bank for Xmas...you can use this to store them up until Dec 1st.

Can I ask why? I might show my British passport at check in...e.g. if we are going to somewhere like Vietnam that has visa free available for various passports, but not Australia...but I'll use my Australian passport at the eGates. I've always assumed the second citizenship passport would not...

We had a disappearing passport disaster in Europe last year and were able to burn LMs for last minute flights on LH/OS/TK to rescue the trip!

The thing you're so offended by is no different to using the Qantas points plus pay slider at the end of the booking process. It is simply the option to pay the cash fare in points. As for flexibility...you couldn't find the exact date you needed booking less than a month out but there were...

United generally offers up a whole lot of last minute availability. And now that is pretty much the default setting for Etihad too (for all EY partners, not just Velocity).

And here's the "reasonable" Qantas for 11 April

Melodramatic much? Booking less than a month out you could still find options around the date you've mentioned.

JQ will not through check your bags...so therefore, yes, all the other formalities and fees will apply.

SQ has no 787-9s.

Not really your error, it should be offered and you're basically at the mercy of the check in agent or lounge person. I don't think VA Gold and Plat ever has an issue accessing the Marhaba lounge at MEL when flying QR...and that's certainly a pay per use lounge. But obviously the staff (either...

For 4 weeks...not 4 months.

The draft decision and interim authorisation for the Air NZ partnership is overdue (planned February).

QR898 has a good on time record. If it arrives on time you're probably fine. Obviously there isn't much leeway for delays.

As I mentioned above...there's a suggestion you should collect an invitation at check-in...whether or not in the real world contract check in staff at outstations have ever heard of this, or have these to hand out I can't say. Of course you'd assume this isn't required at DOH where QR staff...

This should not be the case...QR allows access to partner / 3rd party lounges for Velocity Gold & Plat (unlike e.g. SQ where you only get access to SQ operated lounges). Where possible you should get a lounge invite at check in, if lounge eligibility is not shown on the boarding pass.

No you won't be able to check in via Virgin / Velocity.

People say this...but I don't think it has ever been 100% the case...I honestly wouldn't expect it to be...all frequent flyer programs do this (make more space available to their own members than partner programs).

I was more referring to the "is the reward flight forfeit" question. It needed to be cancelled 24 hours prior to the domestic sector. Or changed 24 hours prior to the MEL-SFO sector.

Cancellation needed to made at least 24 hours before the domestic sector...so the check in today doesn't make that situation any worse.
