Thanks for your responses. It seems clear enough that we are not eligible. Although I still don't see the logic of why. We are on a single QF ticketed flight in J from London to Sydney. (no stopovers) Their routing happens to go via Singapore, so all of a sudden we are not eligible. I...

Thanks for your input, but I rang the premium line and they said 'any flights from Asia are not eligible, irrespective whether my flight originates in Europe. I find that hard to believe, but she was quite adamant. Do you think I should try again later? Has anyone else had a flight from...

Does anyone know if there has been a policy shift in how Qantas is supplying catering to the domestic J lounges? There have been NO hot nibbles for months now, and no antipasta. The addition of a sandwich maker with nothing to make sandwiches with is a bad imitation of already poor lounge...

Does anyone know what happened to the Amadeus timetable search engine? Until recently one could look up any 2 destinations and it would give all options for travel between. The same address is now re-directed to some sort of social network. It's still an amadeus site, however you can't look...

It's definitely a continuous journey from London to Sydney. I'll give the Premium line a ring. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for looking into this: The first two sectors are LGW - DXB on QF 8010 (EK 010) connecting to DXB - SIN on QF8404 (EK 404) then connecting onto QF 6 from Singapore to Sydney. I'm allowed Chauffer drive in London to Gatwick, but the booking page advises I'm not eligible when I arrive on...

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I've looked and couldn't see any details. I'll be flying in j from London to Sydney on QF ticketed flights, but there are 3 legs to the journey. The first 2 are on emirates metal, with QF numbers, connecting to a QF metal from Singapore to Sydney...

Note that this includes the VirginMoney Visa cards marketed by Virgin Australia (managed by Citibank)

Update on Citibusiness rewards ATO payments: I paid my tax using my Citibusiness rewards gold card last month, but they didn't credit ANY rewards points. After writing to them to find out what was going on: See clear response from them below:Now that Amex no longer award points for ATO...

Yes it does seem over the top, however it wasn't my idea to lodge the complaint. It was a suggestion from the Airline Complaints Authority. In any case, if Virgin wants to be treated like a 'grown up' airline, they need to start acting like one. If Qantas can cater for religious or dietary...

I've recent'y complained to Virgin Catering about their refusal to cater any sort of 'Special Meal' in either Business or Economy on Domestic Flights. On a 3 hour flight SYD/CNS last week it was only beef stew or a cold salad in Business class. My complaint was responded with a statement to...

From what I can tell from doing some research, it looks like Citibank VI/MC product is still offerring 1:1 QFF-earn on their Platinum Visa, or 1:1 Velocity or Krisflyer miles on any of their VI/MC products. ... Unless they are about to change too. Does anyone have any info regarding possible...

Hi Sonja, I also have an irrational fear of flying. I'd guess there can't be too many Platinum F.F. with this condition. I've tried the Qantas Fear of Flying Course. Helped a little, and don't get panic attacks any more, but I fly at least once or twice a week and just have to deal with it...

Just thought that people might like to know that Amex is being accepted, and although it mentions the trial date end being 17th April, I've just successfully paid $10K on Amex and it's well past the trial end date. Ant

Is anyone regularly earning flying club miles from Virgin Blue? I've taken about 7 flights in the last 6 weeks on Virgin Blue, and selected to use my Flying Club account on each occasion, but miles have only been added to my account for one of the 7 flights. What sort of time-frame should I be...

It's not so simple as switching to BA. All BA and Qantas flights to Aus. via Singapore & Bangkok will be departing from Terminal 4 until Terminal 3 is ready, unless you decide to go BA via another city like Hong Kong as stated above. I agree that the T5 First lounges are great. I even prefer...

Thanks for the info Serfty. It astounds me that in the current market Qantas are comfortable to lose customers like Sydbloke, and I'm sure many others, (let alone all the p..ed-off customers departing and arriving LHR without realising how bad the accommodation would be) because they can't...

I've checked both the Qantas and BA websites for information and neither gives any advice except "Terminal 4 until further notice" Even when I try to book a ticket up to a year in advance on either airline, the Departure Terminal is T4. I can't believe that Qantas customers, even paying for 1st...

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like I'm stuck in LHR for 6 hours. Might go into London for dinner.

I've been reading some very poor reports about the current status of the Terminal 4 Lounges at Heathrow, including 'standing room only' in the evenings when most Australian flights depart. I also note there is no separate 1st Lounge. As I will be arriving at Terminal 5 (BA) for transfer to...
