For flights where there are 4 saver business awards through KF but only 2 available through velocity, any chance that booking 2 with velocity might release another 2?

I think I had something like this happen once, and an online chat person was able to fix it.

Plaza Premium closing too.

What's worse, a foreign government owning an airline here, or a foreign government owning a major telco? (Singapore, Optus.) Or is there just a particular issue with Qatar...?

I just kept trying with some combination of refreshing and going back and trying again, for pretty much every step. This was in an incognito window, in case that makes a difference. Eventually got to the end. May also need to use an email address with no "." in it. It's appallingly bad. Also...

VA lite fare was $55 in the last happy hour sale, but that's pretty rare.

https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/offers/tier-extension-2024.html?cid=EMALL5060#terms-and-conditions Perhaps the free renewals are coming to an end? I've used my benefits a tiny bit but never credited anything to them, now I see to get a soft landing one needs to earn or redeem...

Yes I have flown out of SYD in economy on a QR flight, crediting to VA while showing my digital QR Platinum at the desk at the QF F lounge. They entered something on their computer and let me and a guest in. Also did it for a QR codeshare operated by CX at a Cathay F lounge in HKG. I gather this...

Don't change anything about family pooling, one of the best features of the velocity program.

eek, I was hoping I could have my QR number in right through to check-in then have them change it to VA. Is that because the check-in agent didn't actually do it? My first leg is VA-operated, dunno if that will make a difference. And I wonder then what's the solution? Just have the VA number on...

Is it possible to select seats online on a QR codeshare VA domestic flight? Doesn't work for me on either the QR site (with QR platinum FF number in) or the VA site (for which I found the record locator only after changing my FF number to my VA one, QR PNR didn't work there).

If one were lucky enough to buy two adult seats through this, would it be possible to add child tickets afterwards?

I'm in a similar position so interested to see the brains trust's advice here. In my case I'd like all status benefits to come from the QR platinum, but to credit the flights to Velocity where possible. Never had Oneworld status before so will be a novelty, tempted to fly via Syd to visit the...

For those with QR status, how easy is it to credit QR flights to Velocity while making use of the QR status benefits? And would it be possible to credit some legs to Velocity and some to QR or even QFF?

Not sure, but there's a double Avios promotion: https://www.qatarairways.com/en/Privilege-Club/Virgin-Australia-Offer.html

I ran into the booking error on the passenger page, turned out the problem lay in using an email address with a dot in it: using one without (and for gmail users, that means just deleting it), it worked.

This plot is a good summary:

A small survey on the Gold Coast would suggest this is indeed the case: COVID ‘more widespread than thought’ as Qld records 9 more deaths "The study, an Australian first, saw 117 homes randomly tested on January 22. Of those, 20 people returned positive PCR tests, but only four were displaying...

Then you'll be pleased to know that the QLD govt is saying this daily, people are getting vaccinated (blah blah slow start but they'll get there), borders will open.

Niche cases aside. (Sorry for your difficulties, public health measures are always coarse.)
