    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Yep. Had enough at this end.... booked a $12K business flight to LHR and had somany troubles changing dates that I would rather sh&t in my hands and clap than try and fly qantas at the moment. The world is in a state that flights changes are inevitable and qantas is simply not up to the task.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Agreed Matt. I am the same.... About to hit Platinum QFF and its so disappointing that I have no choice. Changes are necessary in this point in time and Qantas are not up to the task and are just about the most expensive option globally.

    Finding reasonable award tickets to Europe

    You can forget getting replicated benefits at all flying with Velocity's partner airlines. The systems are isolated and you cant select seats despite the benefit listed on the VA website, plus the airlines themselves do not seem to recognise a VA Velocity +Gold Partner as a preferred level...

    Top tips - Virgin Velocity

    So I am a Velocity Gold member nearing Platinum after switching from Qantas in 2014. I have recently embarked on a European trip with Virgin Australia in which through the VA system I was only able to fly to Europe via Etihad as a code share partner but with a VA flight number. As stated in the...

    The Danger of Hoarding Points

    Already done Mannej. Velocity points on almost EXACTLY the same flights, times, class were hugely less with Velocity than QFF including Business Class. Frankly between Qantas failure with capacity for award seats, HUGE fees and charges that Qantas levies (which made up more than 70% of what...

    The Danger of Hoarding Points

    I am gobsmacked at the QFF devaluation of points in their system. I also have around the 400K mark (hoarder?) however this is because my wife is English so we use them for bi annual trips back sometimes with the kids. Last year I took all three kids and my wife to Boston and back using QFF...
