Happy Friday! I'm flying Qantas Business from Melbourne to New Zealand tomorrow. Two questions for the brains trust: 1. There are FF articles around saying the Melbourne International lounge/dungeon will be refurbished in 2024. Did this happen? 2. With a business ticket, can I visit the...

Something I've never come across in my years of churning, so I thought I'd share. I just stated applying for the Westpac Velocity Platinum. Provided, name, address and verified mobile number. Clicked next to be told: I thought it was a glitch, but I also got an email saying a team member...

This has been on my mind for a while, ever since a 20 something AFF member mentioned their midlife crisis (apologies as I don’t remember your handle). It sticks in my mind because AFF members pointed out that there was plenty of time for that later! I have a great family and have done well...

My flight is at T80 and I've logged in to select the best seats at the front of the aircraft. Being a rural, travel hours a day for school kind of kid, it occurs to me "when did it become cool to sit at the front"? Many similarities exist between the school bus and aircraft. ie. you board via...

I’ve noticed some decent points offers for personal loans recently and was wondering if people were churning these? https://www.nab.com.au/personal/personal-loans/qantas-points-offer?own_cid=shortURL:plqantaspointsoffer 110k QF points for a $55k personal loan with no early exit fees. It has a...

Can you load you 28D card into credit and withdraw that at the start of your trip?

Hot off the press, redemption rates are increasing. New charts are here https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/sg/ppsclub-krisflyer/latestnews/kfchanges22/?utm_source=OP9103_KF&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=RevisiontoKrisFlyerAwardChart&utm_content=CTA Upgrade charts are also increasing and...

Hi fellow AFFers. I’ve searched here and on the google machine and can’t find recent experiences. I have paid J MEL to PER and separate PER to XCH in Y (aircraft only has Y). Officially, VA website says that I need to collect bags and recheck them in PER. Any chance of the J checkin staff...

Hi there. I’m at Las Vegas and about to connect at LAX to QF12. Our bags are checked through to Sydney but we need to collect LAX to SYD boarding passes. I was going to use tunnels to stay airside, but where do I get BP and do vaccination checks etc? Hopefully, I don’t need to go landside and...

A legitimate question. I’m not scaremongering! In light of Covid19, the impact on travel numbers and Virgins overseas ownership, how are we feeling about having stores of Velocity Points?

Christmas Island is an usual destination that many AFFers have been to. It’s the type of destination that would get differing reviews depending on what you would expect from an Australian Island. I have been three times, but invite anyone who has been to contribute.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-28/boeing-whistleblower-dreamliner-production-issues-safety-threat/11904396 I thought the headline was a beat up, but there seems to be substance. showing on 7.30 abc now.

Anyone shed some light on the ‘switch’ in the middle of the screenshot? It’s for seat selection in F on a Qantas A380. Cheers, Steven.

I've booked my fair share of Singapore flights directly with KrisMiles. But, I always thought if a Y or J reward seats was shown as a "saver" on the Singapore site, it was also available on Virgin's site and bookable with Velocity points. Obviously, the benefit of booking with VA is that you...

I am having trouble getting taxes refunded for a cancelled classic reward. I know that this is a well known issue, but the overseas call center operator wants me to provide the credit card numbers so they can process the refund. i Haven’t changed credit cards or anything like that. I’ve had...

I have 2 Qantas lounge passes that are free to good home. They are digital and you need to be flying by 10/12/19. Please post interest here.

Are mixed class reward bookings possible on VA? I’m looking at Melbourne to Christmas Island (via Perth). Reward seats are available the whole way in economy. There are also business seats available on the Melb to Perth segment, but the website and call centre say I can’t book Melb to Perth...

G’Day all. Having booked my fair share of premium rewards, I’m looking at paying for 2 J seats for my parents from Melbourne to Larnaca, Cyprus. Having never paid before, are there any tips for where to credit points earn (QR ‘R’ to Qantas seams to earn something) or for avoiding the credit...

I have one Qantas lounge pass to give away (expires End Feb 2019). I will have to post it from regional Victoria, so travel late in the month would be better. First in gets it. Just let me know who you're giving it to or where you are going etc.

I need to cancel a QF Reward flight that was originally charged to an AMEX companion card (from ANZ). This card was cancelled by ANZ on 5 August with the recent RBA changes. Letters from ANZ state that "purchases or refunds' to the AMEX card will decline from 5 August. I've contacted QANTAS...
