    Platinums can now use complimentary upgrade from a Choice fare

    Used 4 today - quick and easy. Agent knew totally about the new deal. All the Qantas current deep woes no doubt will see a few more crumbs dropped on Elites. Nice time for them to do another double status credits promo etc. I'm amazed they have not rolled out a status match to steal some...

    UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Anyone have experience with Pacific flights? Flying SYD-SAMOA Tuesday 8 am. 2 pax. Biz cabin still showing totally empty - hours after all the below scam. Bid days back at the minimum $200 offered. For a 5 hour flight worth it for sure. Today go into the ebay bidding war type scam when...

    General Virgin Australia Lounge Discussion

    Was certainly possible for Plats until recent years, way after 2012, as I used it a few times, maybe as an 'exception' who knows - just around COVID hitting as I recall was when it was tightened, along with lounge visits on Arrival for same stated reason. Then it was canned 'due to social...

    General Virgin Australia Lounge Discussion

    I recall Plats used to be able to access lounges even if not on same day flight? And with guests if they were flying Virgin. In ADL soon and driving 2 colleagues out flying Virgin same day, and ideally would like to be able to guest them in for a beer. 2pm flight so will not be a busy time in...

    Everyday Rewards launches Everyday Extra subscription product

    Signed up for a year Pet insurance in May. A few $100 a year. The 10% a month off Woolworths online shops made it a non brainer as we spent ¬$250 a time to get the free delivery. So the insurance was free basically. This is highly deceptive advertising - they offer the discount as the big...

    $4,800 Etihad MEL/SYD to Copenhagen Business Class

    We flew SAS from Copenhagen to The Faroe Islands in recent years. An absolute gem of a place to visit - highly recommended. Trip report here - https://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=77446 I've been to about 150 different countries, and this is top 3 at least. :D

    $4,800 Etihad MEL/SYD to Copenhagen Business Class

    Certainly came up for me in last hour SYD-CPH-SYD for many dates in August for about $A5000, with connections via SAS and KLM and Air France for the short leg. This on Etihad website. Odd it would not ticket - did not try, as in Samoa in August, and any other later month would have worked...

    Will Virgin's Premium Lounge Entries open back up at some point?

    Well given reports here that some days Premium Entry was open afternoons, who knows what the current schedule is, hence the question.

    Overbooked flight - laughable compensation offered to be offloaded

    A new penny pinching low. Laughable. :( Jayney's Jetstar background is permeating all levels! Tiger #2 is here. I've had numerous bump offers flying United domestically. Mostly they were $US400-500 vouchers, but Gate Supervisor has almost total control over this, depending on how desperate...

    Return of Wifi on Virgin Australia

    Roll the roulette wheel - 55 planes and ONE it seems finally with Wi-Fi after what - a 2 year absence .... spin that wheel. :(

    Will Virgin's Premium Lounge Entries open back up at some point?

    What a sensational idea - and thanks for the link to the Virgin lost property office phone. :( Who of course had no idea, other than 'I think they are open in morning and afternoons, but not sure'. So again does anyone know for sure what this week's random schedule might be?

    Virgin Australia Involuntary Cabin Downgrade

    Good luck with that one! Spent an HOUR on the phone to some drone in a random overseas country last month over this. Endless earnest promises - nothing happened of course. The very SIMPLEST of things they're not empowered to do. :( Welcome to Tiger #2!

    Will Virgin's Premium Lounge Entries open back up at some point?

    Flying SYD-ADL tomorrow midday with no bags - any updates on what the bunged on-off-on Premium entry is now? Morning only? Afternoon only? All day?

    EWR no longer NYC after OCT 22

    I've flown in and out of NYC area about 150 times as I flew 2 million real miles on CO and UA, and personally I preferred EWR to LGA and JFK. All dumps pretty much! (Like LAX) There is an airport bus service that is cheap from EWR to downtown Manhattan and v.v. - $9.30 seems low to me, as...

    Virgin Australia to lease more 737s

    Had identical issues at same time. We were all upgraded using Plat Upgrades both ways. ~3 hour flights each way. Then in comes the FOKKERS and A320s. At totally different TIMES to the booked fights, which were connecting to and from the SYD flights to make it worse. :( Hotels there are...

    Virgin does it again - will no longer fly with them

    VA have totally vetoed spending a few bucks on newspapers or any magazines in lounges nationally, or in business cabins (which they get near free from publishers) - more Tiger #2 thinking tightwad nickel and diming. They generally do the very simple things BADLY. :( Sydney kerbside lounge...

    Virgin does it again - will no longer fly with them

    Yes have met Tom. I recall United threw a huge function for him when he hit the 15 or 20 million MILE mark. They were real BIS miles, not with any tier or class bonuses. I thought my 2 million UA miles was hard work! CEO of UA was there at airport and all top brass, and much media etc...
