    I've just found that Turkish will upgrade to Elite Status with a business return from Australia. https://www.turkishairlines.com/en-int/miles-and-smiles/campaigns/ The link on TK's website is not working, but a thread on FlyerTalk from paul00 provides the following : 'Turkish Airlines...

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I'd focus on an Orange-backed e-sim (largest provider in France, all my home services are with them) and they have a very strong 4G network. 5G is being installed progressively. Very similar to Telstra. Quite expensive but the network quality is there, all across France. Buy a SIM or eSIM -...

    Etihad Guest status match for Australian residents [improved offer as of 22/11/24]

    https://www.etihad.com/en/guest/program/tiers-and-benefits Correct - you must choose Custom benefits and those are locked for your membership year. They have removed and re-added quite a few quietly (thinking of First Class Check-in for Platinum members who travel in any booking class).

    Also limited benefits on ANA if flying on an EY*NH codeshare. Saudia also offered lounge access - it however looks like it got scrapped ? Cannot find any references about it on Etihad Guest's website anymore.

    Credit Card Offers 100k Velocity points offer with ANZ Platinum card (apply by 15/11/24)

    My understanding is that the ANZ Travel Card is under the same program as the ANZ Rewards Platinum so I'd think no bonus will be awarded. ANZ Adventure Travel Card uses the same Rewards website that you need to use to enrol into Velocity automatic point transfers. ANZ only has Frequent Flyers...

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    I got dinged on my CBA's Ultimate for a cash advance fee with Octopus on Mobile. Went all ok with my French credit card and no fees as expected with Macquarie Debit. The Octopus is great on mobile, ensure to top up more than the actual fare to ensure you can continue your trip if you take the...

    Seat Allocation for QF Booking on Cathay Metal

    It should work instantly with the QF ref as soon as the ticket number is produced. I flew CX last month on two tickets and in both cases, I was able to manage my bookings with the Cathay website.

    Crediting VA and QF flights to QR

    That would only work if you book domestic to international QF tickets and QR tickets with VA sectors marketed as QR. No status earning flying VA crediting to QR if VA-marketed sector(s). Same reasoning as crediting VA to Krisflyer, no elite miles if VA-marketed.

    Etihad Guest partners with JetBlue

    What has oneworld has to do with EY and B6? I was fortunate to redeem my EY miles on VA, NZ and AA prior the redemption changes. I used a bit for VA with the dynamic pricing but not as attractive as it used to be. I used the remaining ones for a J award LHR-SYD 2 weeks out before flying - was...

    No lounge access for SkyTeam Elite Plus on domestic itineraries

    Completely domestic - CDG-BIQ-CDG or CDG-BOD-CDG usually. AF's website does not mention that it needs to be a international // domestic connection or vice-versa.
