    Taken 320 PlusPoints expiring 31 January 2024

    It's a United MileagePlus thing that Platinums and 1Ks earn that can be used to put in for upgrades. https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/mileageplus/awards/upgrades-types/pluspoints.html It apparently replaced some other system (Complimentary Premier Upgrades) a couple of years back. Edit...

    Taken 320 PlusPoints expiring 31 January 2024

    I have 320 PlusPoints expiring at the end of January that I have no chance of using, and which I'd be happy to apply to someone else's booking. Edit: 300 remaining.

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    Marhaba Lounge in Melbourne is pretty ordinary too. But when flying CI, they do give you a little paper voucher to order a beef noodle soup, which visitors on other airlines presumably don't get.

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    Just returned from a three week Taiwan holiday. Used QF points to go MEL-TPE-MEL in J, and this was my first time flying CI. (Previous trips have been MEL-HKG-TPE on CX.) Service was attentive. Food onboard was plentiful, and not bad. For dinner on board last night I had lobster, and you know...

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    Great news! I'm heading back to Taiwan for a few weeks late April on CI reward flights. Will be nice to be able to tack on some other hops, if not for this trip, then next time I'm visiting.

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    App also can't find it. Does VA and UA use different PNRs? Is there a way to find the VA one online if so?

    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Hi, I've just booked return MEL-CBR award flights in Economy on VA using my United miles. After booking, the United site said: Should I be able to select seats through Virgin? I tried to the manage the booking on Virgin site but it didn't recognize the United PNR. If not, is there a timeframe...

    How risky is it to book an award flight on CI with QF points?

    Thanks for all the reassurances! My situation is about as simple as it could be (lots of availability, no connections, no other airlines involved), so here's hoping.

    How risky is it to book an award flight on CI with QF points?

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking about heading back to Taiwan for a month, maybe in March or April next year. My partner and I have built up some QF points over the last few years, so I'd like to use them for flights there and back. There looks to be plenty of J availability on CI's MEL-TPE flights...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Finally managed to complete the Enrolment on Arrival this morning (Sunday), just over three years after registering with UK Border Force! I landed at LAX at around 6am and proceeded to immigration. The border official noted to me that I had conditional approval and said I could complete the...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Not according to their answering machine message. But who knows... Good to know! I ended up booking trip next month via LAX, with ample layover time. This is on the Sunday after thanksgiving so hopefully they haven't taken the whole long weekend off. 1666934659 For me it's just going to be the...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Planning next work trip. Just called the phone number listed on Enrollment on Arrival for the SFO Global Entry office to confirm when they're open. I got a recorded message giving their "tentative" opening hours as 7:30am – 10:30pm every day, and that they are not taking any walkins at the...

    PJ's in United Polaris Class SYD to SFO

    Well since I don’t remember it, or whether I had it at all, I’m going to assume jakeseven7 was asking a trick question!

    PJ's in United Polaris Class SYD to SFO

    Didn't take a picture of the starter so I forget now, and didn't opt for the dessert. I'd order it again!

    PJ's in United Polaris Class SYD to SFO

    They did serve a midnight snack but I was asleep so I don’t know what it was. And some usual uninteresting snacks like chips or cookies at other times.

    PJ's in United Polaris Class SYD to SFO

    PJs were provided on my MEL-SFO UA flight a week ago. What I didn't get was a mattress. FAs handed out a few to select people after boarding, and later in the flight when I asked I was told they didn't have any left. The meal I got was nice though. Fish of some sort with a lemon cream sauce.

    Arrived this morning at SFO with the intention of doing enrolment on arrival only to be told that they're no longer doing it on the weekend. 😐

    Testing out a OW Circle Pacific itinerary online

    I was having trouble finding options using matrix, but maybe I was using it wrong. So I was reading the rules at https://www.qantas.com/content/dam/qac/oneworld-clue-cards/oneworld-circle-pacific-27Apr22.pdf and looking for individual flight availability on ExpertFlyer in D class that I thought...

    Testing out a OW Circle Pacific itinerary online

    Really I was hoping that I could find an option that was both cheaper¹ than the most straightforward one and also on OW flights. The former since I think it's good to select cheaper options when they're available and reasonable, the latter so I can get a head start on SCs for next year (as my...
