    Query on SQ redemption for Thai and Air India

    I understand you are redeeming miles , however it is not very clear if you are redeeming both the itineraries as part of single PNR or different PNRs.

    Virgin Australia Platinum Plus Status Discussion

    It will be interesting to see if it will happen. Other scenario is for QR to increase their stake in VA and scrap VFF altogether by moving all the members to QR status.
