Why not do a points plus pay?

Banana0692 why don't you just ask your employer for the name of the ff number? That will tell you who it is going to and whether it is dodgyish (the company) or really dodgy (PA or someone else). Then you can have a conversation with them about the merits of what they are doing. If they...

The Qantas Board will announce that they have finally figured out what a knob AJ is and that they won't be renewing his contract. Also that Emirates is buying a 25% stake and that they will use the funds to purchase 777's or 787-8/9's to breathe life back into QFi.

I was just perusing the VA website for flights to New York when I found SYD to JFK via LAX in J (bus saver)for $5,761 return. Dates I was looking at were 21 May to 20 June 2014 (on VA1/VA6690 and VA6572/VA2). It was about $900 dearer the PE saver both ways and substantially cheaper than regular...

I don't think so either. I'd like to see: 1. points upgrades from saver fares for platinums 2. Lifetime recognition 3. Upgrades with points on partner airlines for platinums (although with Virgin not being in an alliance, this may be difficult to do)

Got to agree with you wholeheartedly there drewbles. Is it a bummer if they start to charge for it? Yeah sure, but if we weren't supposed to be getting it (in some instances) and now they are just enforcing the T & C then just build a bridge and get over it. As drewbles said, it was great...

tinkybelle, how is this a big deval for you even though you don't use it much? Seems contradictory. This is no biggie for me. Have only had it suggested to me at check- in a few times, but not for a long while. If I asked and got rejected, then I would just shrug and make up for it in the lounge.

On a similar note, I almost didn't receive my points from a hertz rental because they thought I was trying to use 2 loyalty programs so I think they do cross reference. It took 2 weeks to sort out. I wouldn't risk it if I was you, just pick which ever one will give you the best results.

You can't get flexi's that cheap now especially from Sydney - $499 to $519 now. It was $449 when I booked in October.

That's unfortunate. I'd say that there wasn't many upgrades left then. Recently had upgrades for the family to/from Perth done over phone. Took 20 minutes but there was 12 upgrades available as advised by the Rep. Next time ask the rep how many are available as it will give you an idea how...

serfty, yes it usually would but if you are having issues with the website (and let's face it, who doesn't?), they usually waive the fee for you. This has happened a couple of times for me recently.

Ring the customer service guys whilst doing the flexi booking to confirm whether you can upgrade and they will be able to advise. Then either request the upgrade online or get customer service to do.

Ditto here too. Maybe they have gone quiet as they hoped the enhancements/redesign of the website would have been done by now and all the problems would have disappeared???????????

I use Firefox for the PC and Chrome for the tablet and haven't had a problem with either remembering details. I think if its the browser, then it will be good old explorer. Having said that though the VA website can be a very frustrating beast :mad:

I can't say that I have ever had a problem. Bags are usually in the first dozen or so bags out. Hope I haven't jinxed myself now.

Warks, at least they fixed the reward booking side of things. I was trying to book an award business flight for the family Sept/Oct and couldn't as the screen didn't show anything after the guests requiring special assistance statement, but it's all fixed now. I don't have any issues with the...

Yes it is a general offer. I have seen the ad for this on the VA FF website :D but have not received any personalized email yet :( Got trips to Brisvegas and Perth next Feb and March. This will help the re-qualification for platinum:D. Might even look at a trip to US/Canada.

The family and I have just come back from Perth and complimentary upgrades to go from flexi to business. Points were credited for the original flexi fare were credited 3 days later. If you have any problems just ring off customer service and they should fix it straight away.

The family and I went to Europe in May/June last year. The points & sc's for Abu dhabi to Heathrow were credited 5 days later and the return flights 9 days after flights. The points and sc's for outbound Sydney to Abu Dhabi took 4 months to be credited. Just keep pestering them. From memory I...

Hey guys, I have another question this time regarding the ability to do multi city flights on the VA website. I have found it frustrating not being able to do multi city scenarios and was wondering whether that capability was going to be added anytime soon? I am looking at a trip to US and...
