Yes and it's surprising because AC has been very aggressive at developing airline partnerships, so surely status benefits/frequent flyer integration would be something that they're well used to doing? Perhaps it's the VA end that's problematic? Maybe something that requires systems investment...

Just adding to the data points here - online check in completed today as a VA WP and no recognition whatsoever on the digital boarding pass at least. Velocity number recognised and accepted but "frequent flyer" details under the special remarks section of the boarding pass has no notes, and...

Can't remember if AC is one of them, but a number of airlines use the same fare classes across all of their economy options (basic, standard, flex, comfort) and just differentiate them by their fare basis (which you can see using something like ExpertFlyer or Matrix- e.g. basic is TBASECA...

Could it be that your reservation needs to be reticketed and this hasn't been done? That sometimes prevents you from selecting seats (system allocated seat assignments will often stick even without ticketing, but changes can't be made until after ticketing)

I didn't have to pay postage - I believe all PC and PCP members get a complimentary premium membership (which means free delivery on all orders) Oh interesting! I logged into my account and it specifically said my two vouchers did not come with a minimum spend requirement - and I was able to...

For those with complimentary $50 Qantas Wine vouchers in their accounts, this is not a bad deal: Buy Dandelion Vineyards Dandelion Grenache Faraway Tree 2020 | Qantas Wine $65 (or $58.50 for PCP members) for a bottle, so $15 (or $8.50) after the $50 voucher. The purchase comes with a serve of...

No they don't as they're partners with VA now - but that means you can just use your velocity gold status directly on those QR flights

This is one of the reasons why I wanted to do this actually! Why not open your own "agency"? I get so excited about "boring" things like fare rules, and love handling tickets and bookings (even if I'm not the one flying), so am exploring how I can do more of that without necessarily committing...

It's not a lot of time to transfer but should be sufficient if you hustle (as a reference point, the "minimum connection time" between a flight landing at one airport and the next flight departing the other airport is 3.5 hours). The transfer options are set out nicely here: Narita Airport . To...

Thanks for your thoughts everyone! My takeaway of the cons are: Not really profitable Friends and family may come to expect too much Won't get access to the really good deals/valuable benefits Financial risk associated with making a mistake To be honest, none of the above seem like a huge deal...

Yep there would definitely be some fees, but they don't seem awfully high - a couple of hundred bucks for ASIC company registration is the main one it seems. AFTA is no longer a requirement for setting up an agency, particularly if you don't intend to sell to the general public anyway, so no...

Question for this very wise community: Given all the experience and knowledge a lot of us on this forum have in terms of flights and travel, have you ever considered opening up your own "travel agency", potentially even just to organise flights for yourself/friends/family? Why I'm thinking...

Contributing in this thread for the first time! Flew MEL-ADL, ADL-DRW about a week ago and had the Thai chicken/truffled mac combo on offer for both legs (the ADL-DRW leg came with an extra dessert). No complaints about either choice really as both were very satisfying, but the Thai chicken was...

It's technically possible, but as noted above may be risky given agent incompetence right now. How it should technically work is AF opens up positive space on the alternate flights, confirms your seat and update the record locator, at which point you can call QF to just reticket the flights (or...

Always looking for more - but it's always to help out friends and colleagues, so more than happy to yield to others on here :) either way, thanks for your generosity!

So is it everyone's opinion that applying for an ITIN by yourself is too complicated? It looked doable: 1. Send passport and bank cheque to US embassy in Canberra to certify identity document 2. Send W-7 along with form 1040 to IRS 3. Voila! Step 1 is pure admin but would cost around $90 and a...

Yep Priority Pass is accepted with any airline, but just check the lounge hours to make sure it aligns with your departure time. There are some funny rules using Dragonpass and Priority Pass at this lounge- you have to pay a $20 surcharge if you want premium alcohol, anything off the a la carte...

Would love to grab one for a work colleague, so all three of us can get into the SYD QP at the end of the month. It's not terribly exciting though I know, so more than happy to step back if someone else has a more interesting use for them!
