Re: have Velocity put up there award taxes??is this a mistake or are they copying Qan Similar happened to me a week ago. My EWR-MEL J itinerary showed taxes at $529. When I called Customer Service (Manila) to ask a question, they told me taxes were $572, but then we she did a dummy booking, it...

Is this still the case? Checking the BPay website, all of these funds are only listed as accepting debit cards, not credit cards.

Travelling May or June. The JAL reluctance is primarily due to the amount of hassle, having to fly via SYD, then having a long transfer between NRT and HND (outbound > 7hrs), and (just realised) JL departs SYD too early to make a morning connection from Melbourne possible. Current events are a...

Looking at a fortnight in Paris (ex MEL) and have been investigating mild improvements in comfort for the trip. I hope the list proves useful for others, and of course I'd appreciate feedback for my own decision. No premium economy sales of any attractive value. QF/AF is over $4800, VA/EY is...

Thanks chrisb, but as mentioned, the pacific circle fares tend to be more expensive than point-to-point tickets for fairly simple itineraries.

My partner and I want to travel MEL-SFO-Japan(any city)-MEL or vv in Dec/Jan over 2-3 weeks. Flexible about intermediate stops, prefer not to backtrack much. I'm acutely aware that prices are all over the place for that period depending on travel dates, so at the moment curious more about what...

Re: QR Melbourne to Brussels - $783 Economy Return-Valid til Mar 31, Business Class $ QR business class is pretty good. Food was excellent, while entertainment was fantastic if on the right aircraft. From memory, some of the A330s weren't fitted out like the rest of their fleet, with poorer...

Just wondering if there is any site (or thread here... haven't found it) that tries to keep track of the ancillary (add-on) fees being levied by LCCs in/serving Australia? I avoid the LCCs, but was trying to check the JQ fees for various add-ons on a flight to/from Japan and it seems the *only*...

As with all things, I guess it depends on what you like. I found a fair number of things recently in the Reward Shop that were attractive ways to spend miles and shippable to Australia.

Well I'm off to Europe on Monday and keeping an eye on the situation. I have no intention of cancelling. It'll be interesting to see if my full C cabin flight has emptied out at all (due to nervousness, not in infection!). I believe the WHO is scheduled to make an announcement today European...

There's now a site for the card: http://www.wizardclearadvantage.com.au It has a fees section which is mercifully brief because the key benefits of the card haven't changed.

Many short-stay apartment sites have onerous admin stuff. Yours sounds a little worse than usual, but faxing contracts and doing separate payments (often only by $$$ bank transfers) is very common. I'd recommend looking at other sites for Paris. I've used rent an apartment in paris and would...

On my last trip, I certainly used more than my credit limit after loading the account with cash and using both ATMs and CC purchases. However, I think many Wizard customers have experienced a degree of unpredictability about how Wizard administers limits. As for holds, all I know is that the...

To my mind, this comes pretty close to self-abuse. Flying to/from London multiple times voluntarily? Eeek. For Paris, Eurostar is without doubt the preferred solution for general convenience

I find the constant frustration of ?never having been given a useful tip or other valuable contribution to a proposed itinerary (simple or complex) by a TA a real deterrent. I walk into a TA's office with anticipation of the lack of knowledge or the automaton-like "customer is an idiot" approach...

Bookings can't be "merged", but the passenger record can have other data added, such as your booking number for the other flight. You would also need to contact SK and ask them the same thing for the return. Writing up one itinerary is unlikely to be of any greater benefit than presenting the...

Hej Tina123! As indicated by JohnK, they have an interlining agreement and this shouldn't be a problem usually. Safest? Call SQ and ask them to note your onward flight/reservation to ARN and ask if they will check all the way through. They'll most likely say "yes, under normal circumstances this...

Hi everyone. I found that Etihad's C-class fares in their current specials were surprisingly good. MEL-Europe-MEL for circa $6220 inclusive. Cheaper from jetabroad.com.au (I paid $6044 incl for LHR/CDG) and travel.com.au. Only valid until Sunday (18/1) -- I'm posting this cos it hasn't been...

Hi all. Next June I'll celebrate my 40th. I'd like to head off for 4-5 weeks in May (flexible). I'm an experienced independent budget traveller. Not scared of odd ticket combinations, novel suggestions, etc. Would like this trip to be nice and comfortable in the air, but I'm always travelling...

There are no fees associated with using the card. Full stop. An ATM owner might levy a fee directly as per info on the ATM, but Wizard does not.
