    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    Yes, after failing to see the flight combos on the VA site, I tried clicking on the "Book with Virgin Australia" button and it just showed the booking page with a list of flights for the outbound trip to select (both non-stop and connections via MEL, but not the flights as shown on Google). As...

    The Velocity Status Run Master thread

    I am a complete newb as far as booking Virgin flights, so hoping someone might have some insight. Trying to book some flights for 200 SC's. Started in Google flights and found some good business fares for SYD-LST (via MEL) & return with reasonable flight timings. However, when I try to book...

    A question about the rollover of DSCs

    Is this new in terms of the rollover process? The SC's that rolled over for me as part of the last status extension did include DSC. Wondering if QF have changed this for latest round of status extensions.

    Will Qantas in CFS check bags through for EK flights next day?

    If you want to maximise time in the lounge airside I would advise checking in as early as possible for the 6am flight. My partner took that flight recently and the queues at check-in were very long. Business was not too bad but still a queue. The kicker was security as everyone was funnelled...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    Also had my bonus post yesterday. Though I'm not sure how it was calculated as it looks like I received a few more miles than I was expecting. Not going to complain though!

    Yep, mine has just come through. Now to figure out some flights before 21/12

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    Think I will need to follow QF up on this. From the example above it looks like if you got the bonus points they posted at the same time as the regular credit card points. My Amex & ANZ card points post at the end & beginning of each month respectively. No bonus points on either.

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    Applied last Thursday and received approval email yesterday. Status not updated online as yet but email said it would be within 48 hours.

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    That's interesting. How did they know you were a member of the Etihad program? I thought the match is supposed to be based on having status with a program that doesn't partner with Velocity. So, even if you have an Etihad membership, if is not higher than the basic tier it should not matter (at...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    No email and no points, even though by my calculations I exceeded the goal that was set each month.

    Travel Pass Expiry Date Extended

    Hmmm, I wondered about that too. However, the TravelPass is just a payment method, like a credit card. I'm wondering if the system will check the expiry date against the travel dates. Will have to test around mid January next year.

    Travel Pass Expiry Date Extended

    Had some travel passes with DSC issued last year (can't remember exactly when) which were due to expire end of this year. Just received an email from QF to say they have extended the expiry date until 31/12/2023. Hopefully the DSC will stick with the change. Little bit of extra positivity for...

    International Economy Dinner Disasters

    Pretty disgraceful. Maybe post on Instagram tagging #QF - would be interesting to see if they justify this kind of quality.

    Have I been joyced by Qantas ?

    I've just had this happen on a multi-sector paid J ticket (albeit a sale one). Originally booked through Amex to use my travel credit. Wasn't contacted by QF, just an email from Amex to say one of my flights had been cancelled and was put on one an hour later (no choices given). Didn't think...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    I was wondering if anyone had bonus points today. My cards (QF Amex & QF ANZ) post in the first couple of days of the month but no bonus points from QF even though minimum earn was more than achieved on both cards. Interestingly I have been getting some kind of bonus points from ANZ for the past...

    Domestic Upgrade From Premium

    I could be wrong, but I thought the 787 services operating domestic flights (i.e. > QF399) didn't have premium economy for sale. Interesting that you managed to get that sold - perhaps because it was one part of an international booking? Have you tried just booking the leg by itself for that...

    20% bonus Qantas Points from credit cards [targeted, with personalised minimum points earn for 3 months]

    Interesting to see all the variations. My offer was 800 points a month for 25% bonus. Also wondering if the bonus will apply on multiple cards.

    Brisbane to Miami via Los Angeles

    Without oneworld status and as it seems like you haven't done this transfer before, it is probably best to try the transfer desk just after customs. Check the how much time you have before your next flight departs, keep in mind that you have to go through security again (and this can be quite a...

    Brisbane to Miami via Los Angeles

    Yes, you will need to go through immigration, pick up bags and go through customs on arrival at LAX. Which airline are you booked on from LAX to MIA? Do you have oneworld status? Answers to those questions would then influence what I would advise you to do. Generally, if your booking to MIA is...

    Points on Flights promotion (25 March and 1 April 2022)

    I just got an email reminder about this from QF (unsurprisingly I didn't get any notification originally). Agree that the wording is confusing, but I am erring towards it being per booking. I will be splitting up bookings to be one-ways based on that. However, will know for sure when I do a...
