Not sure if I am posting in the correct thread - apologies if not Yesterday I booked online with Velocity points two J seats IST-SIN-HBA for June 2023 (about 135,000 points each). Received the E-Ticket with the 6 digit booking ref plus 13 digit ticket number. When forwarding the flights to...

I cancelled some flights last week - the points arrived about 10 days later (still waiting on the $ reimbursement though)

A couple of weeks ago Virgin changed an upcoming business class flight in August. The BNE - HBA leg was cancelled of a TSV-BNE-HBA flight. When I rang (as the alternative offered flight did not work), the CSA eventually worked out an option that did work. I took the new flight, then she...

That was my problem - i didn't realise that (and now i finally understand what a married segment actually means 🤪 - thank you!). Anyway, flukeing a Hobart agent who knew it saved me giving up and booking a Doha stopover, because I would never otherwise have thought of cancelling the IST-DOH...

I have just booked the return leg of our OWA from Istanbul. An interesting experience. There may be some of interest /help to others here The most straightforward route was IST - DOH - ME/SYD or ADL. The leg from IST - DOH opened up several days ago so I first booked that to lock in the...

No - at a guess on accents it would have been South Africa. (And I am Silver, so no bonuses there). Still a 6-8 week wait for the cash component, but the points should be back with 48 hours.

Qantas surprised me in a good way today! I rang QF 13 13 13 this morning at 09:00 (about a refund) and got straight through. At the end of the call the CSM Joe asked me how long I had been on hold - When I said no hold time, he said that was good - and that Qantas is having a renewed push to...

Thank you all so much for your combined wisdoms - I now have a trial subs to expertflyer and rejoined AFF (the adverts were giving the xx_s) and I'm now studying ++ - return flights should open for me from IST to Aus in about 3 weeks🙂

I have gleaned heaps of helpful info over the years from this thread - thank you all. I'm in the throes of booking a OWA for next year and have the flights over to Europe booked (hopefully nothing nasty happens to change them). Something I have not been able to find - a website that gives a...

Bummer - thanks anyway

Forgive me for being slightly off-topic, but a quick question.... We are flying from US to HBA next year - I initially booked JFK-HKG-BNE-SYD-HBA business award flights, then found two first class award flights on QF8 for an extra 5000 points pp plus change fees. ( Sooo very excited about...

Its now sorted - a suitable flight found by this CSA via BNE cheers

Can someone please advise me on my 'rights' with my current booking issue? We have a J award booking JFK-HKG-ADL next year. I received yesterday a change of flights email from Qantas - which has us arriving in HKG at 14:00 and leaving again at 09:30 (same day). I can't find any other...

We could almost start an Oceania love-in! We have our second Marina cruise coming up August 1st, and I'm v excited!

Magpie10 - agree all the way re Oceania. Can't wait for July We cruised the Inside Passage on Oceania/ Regatta in 2015 - 10 days Seattle to Seattle. Max 684 passengers. It is a really great 41/2 star cruise line and it suits our pocket and the style of cruising that we enjoy. And the dining...

Thanks for that. But I just went to book them - and they were $140AUD each :eek:- so I'm prepared to live with whatever I can still manage choose 24 hours in advance. Wasn't expecting that!

Thanks for that :-) Yes I have, but I was hoping for firsthand knowledge if possible. Last time we had 53A & 53B - I was in the A seat which collapsed under when I put my foot in the wrong place as I was trying to get out quietly in the middle of the night - which tweaked my back a bit and...

Hi everyone We have just booked BA12 SIN->LHR in July and would like to book our seats - the only previous time we have flown BA we found the layout difficult getting in and out of seats. Neither of us is quite as agile these days, but we don't want middle seats This is the current seating...

Re: Who on AFF are the cruise gurus and what are your preferred cruise lines and ship We started our cruising life with a HAL cruise, then converted to Oceania (Marina firstly with 1250 passengers) then to the smaller 'R' class Oceania ships - Nautica, Insignia & Regatta (with 680 pax). This...
