    Taken Qantas Lounge Invitations

    Thanks again richh1833! Step 1 was successful - attached one pass to MEL Int J lounge and another to SIN J lounge with no issues. Confirmation emails received for both. Step 2 will be to see if the dragons honour it when he flies in October. Will post another update at that point!

    Taken Qantas Lounge Invitations

    Hi @richh1833, if you have no use for the lounge passes, would you mind passing them onto my family friend? We've been meaning to do an experiment on attaching lounge passes to Jetstar flights scheduled for after the expiry date of the pass to see if that works, so this would be perfect for that...

    Do I cancel last leg of classic reward booking?

    Can you potentially capitalise on this and move the final segment to a future date after you arrive in Melbourne? Even with a change fee it still makes for an almost no cost one way domestic J ticket!

    SAS - Direct airline refund even for agency bookings

    Thought I'd post this for interest & see if anyone else knows of any other airlines that offer this. I booked some flights on SAS through an OTA and those flights have since had a major schedule change. The OTA is working on an alternative but, having little faith in them, I decided to reach...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Yes that's right, CX has a destination guide for MEL on its website and lists The House as one of the designated lounges, and opening hours are stated to be "3 hours prior to scheduled CX departure time". The website only mentions silver MPC members being eligible, but I think that just refers...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    The QF int J lounge currently closes around 9pm, when QF93 departs for Los Angeles. I'm not sure if FJ has alternative arrangements for business and elite status passengers though. In terms of pay per use lounges: Plaza Premium won't be open The House is open Wednesdays and Sundays until...

    Partner award on SQ badly affected by schedule changes - chances of getting it fixed?

    Success! After several tries, I managed to get VA and SQ to co-ordinate and change their respective flights. Feeling very very lucky, as both VA and SQ had to convert revenue inventory to get the new itinerary to work. For anyone caught in a similar situation, the age old recommendations from...

    Partner award on SQ badly affected by schedule changes - chances of getting it fixed?

    Had a beautiful set of flights booked for end of the year - MEL-DRW on VA, then DRW-SIN-MUC on SQ, CPH-SIN-PER on SQ, PER-MEL on VA. SQ's revised winter schedule now sees: DRW-SIN flight moved forward by a day, and is now before my MEL-DRW flight SIN-MUC flight remaining as is, creating a 2...

    Velocity reinstates Singapore Airlines redemptions

    If you haven't already tried it, perhaps give the Singapore Airlines app a go? Though it really should just function in the same way as the website, since the app effectively just loads the MMB/seat selection page from the site. I just loaded an upcoming trip (VA J award on SQ) through both the...

    Economy Basic with one world Platinum

    Per the comments earlier in this thread, just note that status passengers do not get any luggage benefits on basic economy tickets

    Early check in - is there any advantage?

    I'm assuming you inserted your QFF number into those BA bookings? In which case your free seat selection status benefit would've kicked in. Seat selection without status on BA is chargeable in my experience.

    Economy Basic with one world Platinum

    I just checked the policy again and it's actually 23kg for the underseat bag plus 23kg for the overhead locker bag - crazy! Handy for those who need to urgently transport some bricks I suppose 🤣

    Economy Basic with one world Platinum

    I think @clifford just meant the cabin/overhead locker limit is much higher on BA than other carriers, since many limit it to 7 or 10kg. The cabin bag weight limit is the same for all economy tickets and doesn't change with status. So yep I think we're all in agreement that there's no checked...

    Nope, you'll need to cough up the money or rely on carry-ons instead

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    Yes I think that's because the "Citi Global Transfers" service (effectively the intra-company money transfer service) has ceased in Australia, causing all transfers to now route via the standard telegraphic transfer service - so Citi US would treat it in the same way as any other incoming wire...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Assuming there's no one around to guest her, Dragonpass offers two options - the Al Maha Transit Lounge (which is a conventional lounge) and the sleep 'n fly Sleep Lounge (which offers small cabins/pods to rest in). Al Maha can get very popular during the interchange period with long queues...

    BAEC contact email?

    Don't have an email address but their Australian contact number does run on different hours to the UK one, so may be more specialised in handling queries from Australia/Asia-Pacific?
