So basically if Platinum, for renewal of 800SC you need 400 SC on VA metal all flown by individual, 400 additional can be achieved by pooling or with partners (good luck with that with the partner earning reductions). Does that sum it up or am I missing something?

I think so yes. Looking at the redemption levels of the partners....probably find not many VA elites will have status going forward. The status earned on Singapore Airlines certainly in Y class ...they may as well offer nothing!! Massive reduction

Mmmm...so what does that all mean to current VARA staff? Pilots and CC?

Yes but having to trail all across the airfield to another terminal some distance away makes it also difficult. For me next time it's easy.....I fly from origin to Singapore, no need for bag pick up...and then connect directly to where I want to go in Australia ignoring the carry on at SYD.

Look it's possible....even with a tight turn around but it's never ideal. It's an awful airport with ridiculous international to domestic requirements especially and while the other way around at least no need to pick up your bag and re check in its not brilliant. Maybe one day it will all be...

Did this come to a reasonable conclusion?

Try and get public buses in Albania full stop!! I think using Albania is a poor example. It's not exactly a major European country.....in fact for many years was as socialist as it goes....and not that long ago really hardly had enough electricity to power the country never mind Tirana! But yes...

Yes that's the same as my current provider. However they do not ask where you are or maybe travelling. It's an annual one so who knows where one may end up. I'm not going to X amount of places I may visit in 12 months. 1741518312 Poor programming.....

Looking at the annual policy for Qantas TI...yet it seems to want you to put in your destinations...including stopovers. Why? It's annual policy for worldwide destinations. That's just ridiculous.

Yeah as a simple comparison...I was looking at some Singapore Airlines flights to Tokyo from Perth via Singapore and comparing Cathay flights via Hong Kong. Also looked at ANA direct from Perth ...all would be in Y class. I'm Platinum with VA and Gold (OW emerald) with BA at the moment ..final...

I have still refrained as the prices are far to high.

CDG has wonderful rail connections and Lisbon city is 20 minutes away by subway.

Absolutely. In fact CDG has a wonderful railway station.

The earnings were numbered for a while with the Alaskan involvement with Hawaiian. Also they basically offered nothing in terms of priority boarding or lounge access. I guess they will probably align more to QF.

I believe it's a contract between the Victorian Govt and Arnold Bloch Leibler who acted in the negotiation on behalf of Skybus. I suggest yes..exclusive rights.although for how long I'm not sure.

Most airports in Europe are privatised. It's competitive practices that helps to keep some with lower prices.

Competition is the key but say at MEL point to point with bags is really what people want. I think Skybus works reasonably well. Quickish and convenient but I see it's prices have risen again. Now a competitive company doing the same run would make a big difference.

I should think so....I was looking at this ex PER. Prices quite expensive still but triple.points is a good return (on a choice fare).

I tend to ask and raid the lower drawer and see what is found...,😁..sometimes.lucky!

Are we sure as yet that they won't just add an extra row in Y? It is after all what "we all want" isn't it....I'm sure they will tell us that sometimes. Still.mystified that they think on 24 year old aircraft in some cases it's worth all this refurb. It's certainly not for pax comfort.
