I am not really trying to estimate the odds. I agree the chances are small however spend anytime on Flyertalk and you will find a lot of stories of people losing points, status, and other benefits due to having a duplicate account. People get in issues with it all the time. As for the bonus, it...

You're analogy breaks down here. The same person still exists. Simple question: Did she have to re-sit the drivers test when she got her license? If she did, you're right she's a new person. If she didn't they just updated her details with new paperwork.

Mine have now posted. Thanks to the VA rep for the timely follow up.

It's technically a violation of the Terms and Conditions. You risk having one or both accounts suspended or cancelled (or even an account it pools to). You are fraudulently receiving a benefit that you're not actually entitled to (if you get a new member bonus for someone who already has an...

Probably could have done a name change in the time it took to post/ read this thread.

I wouldn't have even considered it on the 747. We snagged the bulkhead on the side for me and 7.77 and mum has the bulkhead in the middle with the bassinet spot for the baby. Not too worried about getting into the SQ lounge. NZ is fine as long as they let us in with two kids.

I'm having the same issue here. Several family flights haven't posted from last monday and my flights from last Wed and thursday haven't posted yet. It's usually the case for me that they post in about 2 working days. I will do a retro claim if they don't go through (although it's a pain as it's...

19/50 here. No one will ever agree on these lists.

Thanks for that. I'd probably think that the NZ lounge would be OK with kids as they have been when i've been in there before via other airlines status. But i guess we will see.

For my sins (and the ludicrous price i got the tix for) i'm taking myself, Mrs 777, young 4yo 7.77 and 5 month old .777 to the US in United Y. I am wondering if anyone has any tips on how we might survive it? We've manage to do a few things to make it less sufferable: * Upgrade the...

Re: Virgin Australia streaming IFE Doh. Just started a separate thread reporting this. Mods please feel free to merge. A thought about content: the content needs to be better matched to the stage lengths and ideally searchable by time. No point in watching a movie on a 1 hr flight. It is...

I thought folks here might be interested to know that i flew MEL-CBR on the EJet on Wednesday and the wireless IFE was working. According to the cabin crew it was the first flight that it had been operational. I assume it will be through the rest of the fleet soon but my E190 flight back on...

I might be able to come. Make me silver. I have an event earlier in the evening and may be able to join people for a drink if you are hanging around for dinner.

Curious: how many times have you died and how many passengers have you killed in the simulator over your career? :)

Several reports this morning that CASA is about to lift the restrictions on PED (in flight mode) from gate to gate. Details here: http://www.casa.gov.au/wcmswr/_assets/main/lib100247/003.pdf Basically, it's now up to airlines to show they have safe procedures and CASA can now give the green...

My Mother in Law (VFF Plat by virtue of my +1) stayed about 10 hours in the First lounge in AUH. It had day beds and she found it perfect for an extended stay. Theoretically you should be able to guest your wife and your daughter will depend on her age and their flexibility. Otherwise you could...

Hand > Bush.

Hmmm. 1000 point bonus to sign up = 6 or 7 water bills. Seems like a no brainer to me (you don't even need to use it). But each to their own.

An olive branch to BA that doesn't break the EK deal?

Much nicer than the Hobart Virgin lounge.
