Oh Dear. Here we go...

Some of my flights have started crediting. Some haven't. Doesn't appear to be any pattern. I will give it a few days and make a retro claim if it comes to that.

Same issue here. Since last Thursday I have flown NTL-MEL, MEL-BNE, BNE-MEL, BNE-MEL, MEL-PER and PER MEL and none of those flights have posted. (the last one was so today so happy to cut some slack on that!).

Got the details and very much looking forward to it. Thanks Redroo!

Always good to have more novocastrians!

Yes, I'm waiting on details before booking my flight up too!

Looks like I will be seeing you all there! Thanks Red Roo.

OK i'll bite. I can think of at least 2 reasons: 1. It is a dilution of benefits for everyone else (for example long haul upgrades have limited capacity and should be reserved to those who have actually earned them, finite amount of space in lounges, the front rows, etc). 2. The more a...

I booked mine for my wife (who has a different surname) without any question.

Starts 30th of April: Virgin Australia furthers loyalty partnership with South African Airways | Miles Down Under As far as i cam concerned they said "early" 2015 and it is starting as promised. After this and the SQ transfer overreaction fiasco the problem is not that Virgin announces...

Agreed. I've thought the same for a very long time.

Back online this morning.

Definitely try Virgin Australia. Their availability seems a lot better than NZ.

If you insist on dividing the year into "early" and "mid" and "late" which one are we in?

Clearly i'm literally the only one around here that actually appreciates VA flagging these things before they come to completion. Id rather know than not know. I had the same attitude to the SQ transfer issue which sent people apoplectic because it didn't happen sooner. In this case i think...
