    SkyBus gone up again [Up to $23.90 one way]

    Only downside with Didi is you can't prebook. I often get a 5am Uber to the airport in Sydney, can't use Didi because at that time of the morning without prebooking it is a lottery of getting a car to arrive.

    Have Virgin cancelled the 'Fly Ahead' benefit again?

    No chance of fly ahead today on MEL-SYD flights (and lounge!) are chockers.

    No Virgin Happy Hour…

    Well no Happy Hour today, but even better with the current sale and using code SVX26 choice fares are down to $115 each way on MEL-SYD. Also succumbed to booking 1 business flight for $275, as the economy seats when I wanted to travel were all $200! Flex was $400! So business was a no brainer...

    Juneyao - How to pay for booking…?

    I tried WeChat earlier this afternoon...but had zero idea what I was doing and couldn't make head nor tail of it... 1729592000 It's just crazy to me that they would launch in to a market like Australia (they only start flights in December from Sydney and Melbourne) and they wouldn't engage...

    Juneyao - How to pay for booking…?

    Edit: Just checked, and e-tickets issued! AUD$2870 for 2 Adults and 2 Kids for SYD-PVG-KIX-PVG-SYD 11/01-25/-25/01 is a steal! Overnight layover where we will book hotel on the way over. Straight through on the way back.

    Juneyao - How to pay for booking…?

    Ok, I have made a new booking with www.mytrip.com. It was USD$1912 rather than the $USD1835 that I was getting direct. But I think that may have been due to inventory.... As I think as of right now I am actually holding 3 x PNR's for the same booking on the same flights.... Am expecting the 2...

    Juneyao - How to pay for booking…?

    Well this is quite amazing to me...the airline telling me to book through a third party, like trip.com, etc.

    Juneyao - How to pay for booking…?

    Hi, I have made a booking on Juneyao Airlines for January, but NAB blocked my card for fraud prevention so the payment didn’t go through. I have the PNR and booking is still there when I look up on their website, but I can’t figure out how to pay for it so it gets ticketed. I have called...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    An interesting quirk to this, they could lose revenue as people who used to book Choice to get the extra status credits just make do with Lite if they know they aren’t going to get there with the status anyway. I am thinking about it. The costs differential on MEL-SYD return for Lite to Choice...

    I don't understand the problem with what RIC did though? Still interesting enough if one of the bottom teams wants to chase that single point.

    I didn't mind the fastest lap. Adds a bit of spice of people potentially taking a gamble and making a mistake. Especially if the championship is tight and someone takes a gamble to pit and put softs on at the end to try and get that extra point.

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    A lot of info to absorb! As a weekly golden triangle flyer on choice fares it is a bit of a kick in the gonads. As my MEL-SYD choice fares are usually $110-$140 range, which will only be 9-12 SC’s (do they round up or down on the devision…haha!). Rather than the fixed 15 currently. Also sux now...

    Triple status credits on Virgin Australia

    It's the zero availability bit +/- 3 days that is the tricky bit, especially when trying to book early for say school holidays. From my experience there may be zero availability on the flight you actually want on say SYD-DPS on the Friday or Saturday at the start of school holidays, but there...

    Triple status credits on Virgin Australia

    It's not about pushback or debate. That isn't what's happened here in what's been described. It's more that the benefit only applies if there is no award seats +/- 3 days of the date you want. Whilst online this has been the case (none available so benefit should be used), when calling up, the...

    Triple status credits on Virgin Australia

    I had same thing trying to use that benefit. Nothing online, but in the end managed to get all the flights I wanted for our family of 4 to/from SYD-DPS without using the platinum guarantee benefit in the end. Bit odd really how they could see more reward seats than what was shown online for...

    2024 AFL Grand Final

    I managed to pick up a couple of freebie corporate tickets today for my old man and I including brunch beforehand at the Park Hyatt with Kevin Sheedy, Jonathon Brown and Dermott Bretton on stage, hate to know what the $$ cost of the package would have been, but pumped! 1727354249 Even if they...

    2024 AFL Grand Final

    Restricted MCC members don’t have access to the GF. So weren’t in the ballot. It only gets determined about 11am on the Saturday if they open limited tickets up to restricted members. There is a returned tix process for the MCC reserved seats, particularly as it gets decided before the teams...

    2024 AFL Grand Final

    That is specifically for the MCC. Not from the MCG. So is another 1000 reserved seats for MCC full members (rather than them being walk up), so the try and make sure they fill the reserve. It doesn't change the number of seats allocated to clubs, MCC, AFL members, etc.
