Bit off topic here but I seriously can not work out the business logic of Air NZ in running flights within the Pacific Islands at ridiculous times like this. I regularly fly to PPT and my 2 options are Air NZ or Air Tahiti. I would like to build my status with Air NZ but I will never fly with...

Adding in my part here: Flight from SYD to ICN included the same 3 options as others have mentioned above: Lamb Shank, Salmon or the pasta. I ordered the lamb which was surprisingly tasty, the salad was excellent and the sourdough was really good. A surprisingly enjoyable airplane meal! The...

I too have Suica and also Tap card (LA public transport card) but the problem is, as they both have a balance, I cannot get rid of them! My apple wallet screen is getting far too cluttered for my liking.

I faced the same problem when booking, the China Eastern website flat out rejected my Qantas frequent flyer number. Something to do with the format not being correct? I actually called the contact number listed on their website and spoke to the most helpful customer service agent who knew...

I should have mentioned this - these flights were booked directly with the other airlines and are not ticketed as QF flights (They are BA and MH flights). The only link to Qantas is when I put in my Qantas frequent flyer number. I am not a member of British Airways Executive Club, so that will...

Not too sure if this is related to the app update or if it has always been a thing: but my upcoming Malaysia Airlines and British Airlines flights appear in the app under "Trips". The reverse does not occur within the BA or MH apps. Interestingly my upcoming China Eastern flights does not...

As many others have said, Jetstar do monitor bag weight most of the time. As for dimensions, from my experience staff will make an assessment based on the look of the bag. For those with bags that are obviously larger, or other items that are clearly larger than what is reasonable, I have seen...

Best they have had is 110k but it’s pretty rare. Regardless, they will need to wait for the current Citi velocity promo to end before launching a competing offer.

From the Amex website: "We are making some exciting changes to the American Express Velocity Platinum Card. Watch this space to discover refreshed Card benefits launching soon." I really hope the refreshed benefits are actually better and not just an increase in annual fee coupled with less...

Ahh, I had an absolute nightmare trying to get VA to do this on a SYD-SIN-LHR route not so long ago. Did you ask for anything in particular or have to speak to a supervisor to do this?

Both Saver and Advantage were available when logged in to Krisflyer and doing a search. I have noticed similar to North America when searching SQ via Velocity - though there is usually some availability via United - albeit last minute bookings as rewards seats to Velocity don't seem to open up...

Yes, I should have pointed out that these flights are available as a reward through KrisFlyer. It has full availability and not a waitlist.

Update on this one: After 5 attempts to the VA contact centre to book the flights under one ticket, it is apparently not possible. The first customer service rep couldn't locate the flights (I quoted both the VA and the SG numbers of the exact flights I needed). The second and third said that...

Funny you said that, my flight is booked on an aircraft with the 1-2-1 layout and I had selected my seats at the time that I made the booking. I checked again today as the trip is coming up soon and the aircraft has magically swapped to the older 2-2-2 layout. No email notifications about it or...

When it comes to all things flying, most 'other options' are better than the Qantas option 😂

Cancelling the onward flight and then having to pay a full fare at last minute prices undoes the whole point of a points redemption. Not a bad point about a second night in SIN but it does add additional cost and time to the journey (I only have limited amount of annual leave otherwise I would...

Thanks very much for the suggestions all. I really didn't want to have to do this, but it looks like I will have to call the VA call centre and hope that whoever answers knows how to process this. I am assuming that it would not be possible for VA or Singapore to 'combine' the two flights on...

Looking to redeem some of my Velocity points to make a reward seat business class booking on Singapore Airlines. The route would be Sydney - Singapore - London. There are some rewards seats available around the date range I am looking which is always a hurdle in itself. Where it gets complicated...

This is great news. I travel across the ditch frequently needing to visit the central North Island area and absolutely loathe the commute down from Auckland. Now for the other airlines to join on so I can keep my status with Qantas/Air NZ. Though I am not hopeful this will happen.

Hey OP, can you please double check your eligibility to access the lounge (I assume you are referring to the Qantas First Lounge, but I could be incorrect). My understanding is that you will not be eligible for the Qantas First Lounge when flying a Jetstar flight, see the post here. Did the...
