    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Can anyone enlighten me on the allocation reasoning for four digit flight numbers on Virgin.? Not code share, not a subsidiary airline, not partner aircraft…… possibly regional, but Sydney to Hobart regional?

    Unfortunately, I very much doubt anyone posting here, will ever have any “experience” with this. Contact centre staff providing their understanding of this clause are inconsistent with their responses, indicating that a clear policy does not exist. As a result the first real “experience”, we...

    But if I read correctly, it does appear that the earn rates are tied to a per $1.60 spend not a per $1 spend

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    There are two interpretations of this clause - the one that says all good with FF points and the other one………… Specifically, I will paraphrase the clause in the negative interpretation, with respect to FF points: “4.) you pay the full amount of your outbound ticket”……. “i.) On your American...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    There does not appear to me to be any issue with respect to Amex insurance and the changes you have made along the way. None of these would appear to have impacted your coverage. The only untested area of concern here is with respect to award tickets themselves. I believe very clear coverage if...

    Easiest way to keep kids' QF points from expiring

    The Conga method above looks like your only option. You just need someone in your family to have the 5,000 points to start the conga and you need an account with non expiring points to land them all in at the end. If not your immediate family, look to your extended family to help.

    $15 Amaysim PAYG eSIM, 365/day expiry is what I have used to get a cheap additional number for such problems. Also if you already have a data SIM for a device (eg iPad) these usually will have a phone number that you can use, you will just have to move that SIM to a device that can take SMS's...

    QF (int) to AC (dom) at YVR - how long do I need?

    Yes, this is also my approach with managing this is, rather than pay extra via specific travel insurance for this scenario, to actually look to book both options and factor in paying small cancellation fees. Can book hotels with no cancellation fees. Just need to look at the timing of...
