    where to buy a single LAG resealable bag?

    That's what I do. I buy the higher quality ones like these: https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Slider-Storage-Quart-Value/dp/B00HXCNRZ8/ref=sr_1_4_a_it Don't need that many obviously, but find they work great for repeat use. I have a few boxes at home in case they tare, but I have 2-3 bags all ready...

    This was first time ever for me!

    O/T but that was just marketing and media. They actually flew in the cargo hold (they were just photographed in the J cabin for publicity) :)

    Q bag tag disappeared

    Thanks for the reminder! Just rang to request some replacements. Under 2 minutes from answer to done. 2 re-issued no questions. Very easy!

    MEL-JFK Qantas(J+Y) or Cathay Pacific(J) ?

    Having flown CX on JFK-HKG before in J, i'd rate it as far superior seat wise to QF. The 1-2-1 layout is superior, the seat isn't narrow (I'm a big guy) and I find the CX to be the best J seat in the air that i've flown in (not tried EY, but been on many others). ex-PER via HKG makes a lot of...

    QF Complimentary Status Retention

    Concur. I've had this 3-4 times over the years. The renewal membership kit is sent with a 'Although you did not meet the requirements, we are glad to recognise your past flying with us and have extended your membership' letters. I had travel booked to re-qualify anyway, but it was clear they pay...

    Parking Scam at MEL

    Interesting that they recommended Parking Port rather than another company they own (Busy Beaver). Perhaps they were full too.

    New Charge for Velocity Bookings on EY

    For anyone who made a booking pre-points increase (and surcharge), here's a data point for changing bookings. I had a MEL-AUH-LHR booking with a very long layover in AUH. I called them (for around the 10th time) this morning to see if I could get an earlier AUH-LHR flight. I was told 'oh but...

    Change Frequent Flyer no

    I've done this frequently. Not once have I had them incorrectly credit. Just hold on to your re-issued BP's just in case.

    Whoops... what did you forget you had?

    The recorded announcement on the bus at LAS from the Rental Car Center to the terminal reminds you that if you've accidentally taken the keys from the car with you to leave them with the driver to take back. I'm guessing it happens frequently (and would in LAS). That said, I use National...

    QF to sell lounge passes

    Thanks for that David. I wonder if that means the bank issued ones and complimentary ones for PS will now only move towards being electronic? I'm willing to bet QF is keen to cease the sale of vouchers in general.

    QF to sell lounge passes

    If they're extending the invite only 2-3 days prior to travel, I wonder if this is a move towards e-vouchers like VA use? It would stop the gumtree/ebay sellers, and simply move the revenue to QF.

    Velocity Points about to expire

    I think the OP assumes you need the Global Wallet card. Owing to too many confusions at small DL lounges in the USA (the Global Wallet card has no mention of it actually being Virgin Australia, just Velocity), I actually went back to the old style card. number8, your son doesn't need a chipped...

    Travefy: Great way to log and share you itinerary

    It's been quietly implemented. My TA bookings do similarly. I know TripCase are pushing for more market, but TripIt got an early start. If only it had API's into the GDS directly (with your permission) to monitor the booking in real time (As opposed to simply monitoring the flights from more...

    Travefy: Great way to log and share you itinerary

    I've always been a fan of the TripIt Itinerary. I forward a link to it to my parents and it 'just works'. And being dynamic, if anything changes, every time they visit the link it's as it should be. As for a 'day view' I have the Cal feed from TripIt in my mobile and laptop calendars so I can...

    Velocity & Alitalia partner

    I thought it was Air Line In Tokyo And Luggage In Amsterdam ;)

    Velocity Frequent Flyer Program Update

    This is exactly the opposite of what I was told: There's an entire thread on this here: New Charge for Velocity Bookings on EY I posted in there the process they follow to do it, and they were reading from an internal memo directly to me. As it's actually ticketing a new cabin, they were...

    Qantas Platinum debate with Qantas FF team

    There appears to be two non-earning buckets on RJ. From QF: EF shows two others, assumingly Z is award and I is a deep-discount J (random date for AMM-IST on RJ): The OP needs to advise what fare bucket it was in, but willing to bet it was one of these two unfortunately. QF Earnings can...

    Question for platinums - how many points from flying do you get per year?

    Thanks to the Double SC (and Aquire 50% SC offering) I've done well this year. 14 Segments for QF (of which all but 3 flights were on QF), a touch over 1200SC's and only 74k points. I'm only 4 months into my year as well, with at least another 880SC's/60,000 points to come by end of December...

    No more animated inflight safety video?

    Quite possibly one of the worst and most 'amateur' videos i've seen in a long while. It's like a media projects production from a high school kid learning how to do things. So many things wrong with this I don't know where to start, but the creepy looks on the crew faces for doing the demo...

    Melbourne Airport promotion? ['mystery' points credit - now resolved]
