That's good news. I quite like the hotel although airport facing rooms are jolly expensive!

I had none on a max between SYD and PER a few weeks back. The max was one week old at that time. I messaged VA asking them to tell me why I should not just dump them for QF who offer now probably a much better experience, at least down the back although I did happen to be in biz). After the...

Funny that yet they can't be bothered with dividers to differentiate biz from Y!! ,🤔

Yes. BA ruby can pick up seats without charge 7 days out.

Or Silver ...(Sapphire).

That's the joys of the BAEC. At least it's a perk that is simply BA ...albeit you can also choose on AY and IB even on their cheapos. Award tic with QF....no chance I guess although does he have BA status? I would.have thought it would work once BA FF is added.

Of course BA don't charge their Frequent Flyers at Silver or Gold for seats....in J or Y, Domestic, European or long haul...Just saying...., 😜

If you are with BAEC and buy flight with AVIOS through BA, then subsequently cancel you get all.your AVIOS back with a flat fee of 30 pounds (I think it is).

For clarity though....this must be only once ticketed and SQ PNR provided. Going through the process for seat selection at time of booking, on VA, it says seat choice not available.

Did you at time of being the VA redemption enter SQ Kris number and this potentially opening up the availability of seat choice? Just trying to understandetand all the stories or failure and sucess and why I was not unable to select seats when I did dummy run...simply said seat choice not...

I transferred VA points to SQ and then suddenly everything opens up for availability. Indeed now have just booked for two persons PER-SIN-HKG and back again for the equivalent of 250,000 VA points (162,000 Kris) and 400 AUD for both. I think that's not too bad. Seat choices and book the chef...

Im guessing that with reward flight it does not matter entering KF numbers as not earning anything at all via VA so entering actual carriers FF programme is possible to choose seats? . Can this be done via a dummy booking as I see quite good availability down the back on SQ using VA points...

Yep understand that points is less as Plat but not worth the stress until VA allows for seat selection on SQ or even NH metal. The SC is what matters here.

I am struggling to find a definite answer on this so hopefully some knowledgeable people can enlighten me. I think I'm going g to fly PER-SIN-HKG and back with SQ. I don't want to buy this via the VA website. It sucks! It costs more and there is no seat selection . It's annoying because people...

Any further developments recently on VA booking SQ flights with seat selection in all cabins? Probably just as bad as my recent experience with VA flight number on NH metal flying biz. . Hopeless outcome despite best endeavours.

Yeah I get that also...but it's always pretty much occupied hence i assume customers buy unless everyone is Platinim. It's not as if it's actually a cost to VA to have X seats..they receive revenue from it but perhaps not as much as even basic lite fare for extra row. Funny how they strip away...

Brisbane to and back from Vanuatu ofcourse. It's good.

Excellent review and photos.

To be fair it is not that VA have a vast array of international flights to fly them do they? ,🤔🤭

Oh gosh have they really? I feel sad. It's a shame that Australia just can't hold 3 airlines plying the market. I know.peole blame management but frankly is QF and VA managed any better?
