I am also a seat belt nerd and always have it on. I am still surprised once we reach required altitude and the sign goes off, that I still hear a handful of clicks ! I am terrified of turbulence and I travel a lot for leisure. I am probably going to dehydrate myself on my Singapore- Istanbul...

LAX to SYDNEY in J

Hello, we did Zambia (South Luangwa National park, and a trip to Vic falls)... I wanted to do it all in Biz on points....had QF & VA points...I struggled to get it all on points and to line up.. So we did a bit of combo: We flew as follows, and you could slightly modify to suit your African...

So far so good, I purchased 3000 points, they showed immediately in my Bonvoy account. I was able to transfer them to Virgin, and just waiting for them to arrive in the Virgin account !

thanks, did you need to transfer a minimum amount ? The Bonvoy will let me buy 1000 points for $12.50 USD... seems pretty risk free as long as it will allow a trf of only 1k of points to Virgin Alantic

Yes, I was thinking of that, thanks for the heads up that it's only 2 to 1 transfer rate. The Amex plan fell over as my last Amex card was closed less than 18 months ago, so I wouldn't get the sign up bonus anyway.... however I will keep this in mind when the 18 months is over and get the card...

Hmmm, maybe you are right. I only need 90k of points for my redemption flights and I think there is an Amex card for about $395k AUD annual fee and 100k of bonus points (minimum spend $3k)...so if the points transfer at a rate of one to one.... then this would cover all of my flights

Thanks, but a credit card option will be too slow I think...by the time I apply, wait for card, do the minimum spend... wait for points could be over month at a minimum. I just googled Marriot Bonvoy points... i think perhaps I can just buy a small amount of those points and then transfer them...

Hello, I joined Virgin Atlantic so that I could purchase points when they have them on sale from time to time and then redeem on one of their partner airlines. It wont let me purchase points unless I have at least one point already. I cannot see any method of obtaining any points without a hotel...

Hi, a quick report back, the Oman Air flight out of Muscat was delayed by around 4 hours, so the connection from KL to DPS was missed. However we were put onto the next MH flight from KL to DPS and still in Biz so it all worked out ok. (I thought it may have all come unstuck here). Check-in at...

Hi FF helpers, I went "old school" and booked with a Flight Centre branch with a very efficient agent. I am happy with the price paid which was the same as Aunt Betty online. Thank you for all the help, I would have had no idea re Aunt Betty to even know about the cheaper price in the first...

The Muscat/KL/DPS combo isnt even available on the Oman air website, even for a higher price, they simply dont sell it. This is what is making me nervous buying it off webjet or other TA. 1678846761 I've found it for $2317 now on Aunty Betty...but worried about all the awful reviews of that...

hi Everyone, just about to book it on Webjet, the price was $2550 approx AUD per person one way in early August and it was approx just 11 hrs or so Muscat to bali....which is perfect...if it all works ! I think this is cheap compared to alternatives that i have seen and nothing that streamlined...

That's what I was wondering too. I called Oman air agent in Sydney and they said MH would accommodate if missed due to late first sector. I still don't like to use travel agent though as really dislike multiple layers of ppl involved in my bookings (except chatting about it here, ha ha)...but...

Hi there, I am looking at a flight from Muscat to Bali (via KL)which I located on webjet in J class for a pretty good price (and awesome short 1 hr 5 mins layover). When I try to book it (or even just locate it) on Oman air site it doesnt bring up the flight combo...same if i try the MH...

do you think Velocity call centre could/should be able to split the legs and allow me to redeem a sector...very strange no originating in AUH allowed

I cannot see any award availability on any dates ex Abu Dhabi to Europe (tried multiple cities and multiple dates) on Etihad using Velocity points. The search engine only spits out flights on QR via Doha which i dont want to use. 2 calls to the Velocity call centre didnt help either. Does this...

Sounds Like a good lunch option. I know we've been to a food court often at changi, but I think it's a touristy one, it didn't have a staff canteen vibe..and the food was just ok.

Hi Travellers, We are staying at the Crown Plaza at Changi o/n enroute to Maldives in April. We need a good dinner option. Love Chilli crab, but last time we went to one of those places like Jumbo seafood ? on the water, near a whole heap of similar places... it cost a fortune...well like $200...

Have the QF PNR as well, it wont work either.
