I visited both earlier this year at around 2pm. I didn't mind the EVA Air lounge but the Singapore Airlines was better. It was empty once the SQ flight around that time left! Neither were crowded mid-afternoon and both had pretty good food and I rated the ice cream in the EVA Air lounge. Why...

This card currently has a 130,000 Qantas points offer running until 14 Jan 25.

Yes indeed, a very good point! Here's the exact wording from the Westpac website:

This thread hasn't been updated for quite a while, and I couldn't find another recent thread about the Westpac Altitude Black card offers, so thought I'd bring it back to life. Westpac currently has 120K points offers on its Altitude Qantas Black and Altitude Velocity Black cards. You get...

The Citi Rewards credit card has a limited-time offer on it for 100,000 bonus Flybuys points. That's worth $500 at Coles or 50,000 Velocity points (I would be taking the latter!). You need to spend $5,000 within 3 months of approval. The annual fee on this card is $199...

This card currently has a 100,000 bonus QFF points offer on it. Need to spend $6,000 within 3 months of approval to get 70,000 points, then renew it for a second year to get the other 30,000 points. From the T&Cs on the Citibank website...

The offer on this card is now 125,000 Qantas points (down from 150K).

The offer on this card is pretty good at the moment. 130,000 bonus Qantas points (90,000 if you spend $5,000 in the first 3 months and another 40,000 points if you keep the card for a second year), and $200 back. https://www.anz.com.au/personal/credit-cards/frequent-flyer-black/

Virgin Money has an interesting offer on its Velocity High Flyer credit card. Earn up to 80,000 bonus Velocity points + 100 VA status credits. You need to spend at least $3,500 each month for the first two months to get the bonus points. This offer expires on 31 January 2025. The High Flyer...

The Bankwest Qantas Platinum card (which I have) has had a 50K Qantas points sign-up bonus running for the past 3 years or so. Finally, the World card has an offer too of 100K Qantas points. This offer requires a bit of commitment though. You would need to spend $35,000 (not a typo!) within the...

With the changes to Virgin Australia airfare structures recently, I assume these free flights still book as Economy Choice fares?

Quite a few A321LR routes in there to "secondary" destinations in Asia that probably lack demand to support daily wide-body flights. Good to see the A321LR being used as it's designed and resulting in actual new routes! As a side note, there were quite a few red herrings in the Etihad teaser...

There is (for example) F available on CDG-AUH when booking within 30 days. Currently, no.

NZ AKL-LGW via YVR or PER could actually make sense. YVR probably a bit more so.

Unless they codeshare on each other's flights? 🤷‍♂️ But I take your point. Not sure there's a more logical stopover point, unless they return to going via the USA (which some people don't like due to the lack of international transits there).

Not sure how long Aeroplan members were unable to book EY rewards, but I just wanted to mention that EY J/F awards are currently showing on Air Canada's website for close-in bookings again.

Air NZ just received new slots at LGW (after being unsuccessful applying for new ones at LHR). They've been a bit cagey on what, if anything, they plan to do with those slots. But my guess would be a AKL-SIN-LGW service.

I don't think Air New Zealand would be able to make this work. For starters, AKL-LHR is even further than SYD-LHR which is already marginal. But secondly, and most importantly, there isn't enough premium demand to/from AKL for NZ to be able to sustain the high yields they would need to make...

In my opinion, the route will probably still be running in early February.

You would need to select the flights you want upfront at the time of booking, choosing a longer connection in Istanbul. You may need to use the Turkish website's multi-city function for a stopover of more than 24 hours, or to be honest, it's probably easiest if you just go to a travel agent for...
