I did two VJ BNE-SGN return in J class last year. Helpful staff and convenient timings. The priority shuttle bus was a to saver in SGN. Upon arrival back into BNE cabin staff cleared a path though the economy section so that J pax were still off first. I will be flying with them again.

There are some good prices for connecting BNE-MNL (I saw $396 return!) with this service. I'm interested to get a couple of free nights in China as I haven't been for 15 years. I could eat my fare at breakfast. I believe my fare will qualify. Any reports of people using this offer yet?

Definitely some unusual and possibly predatory business practices going on. What I discovered was they reduced the number of houses being raffled each year while they had also increased the ticket price. So a monthly subscription that we had for years had increased without our permission while...

I have travelled in Mindanao but not in the area you are going. My unsolicited thoughts: I don't think any travel insurer would know how to price such a policy.. You may have to shoulder that the risk of that portion of your trip. Insurers would consider it a war type zone when on Sunday this...

Every day there are hapless souls turning up 24 hours late for PR221 MNL-BNE departing 12:15am. I know two infrequent travellers that have been stung by it. Really needs to rescheduled to 11:59pm the previous calendar date.

Sadly just last week booked a set of February flights BNE-SYD for the exact MARCH dates I actually needed. To be fair on myself I was booking flights for Mrs and I and using a combination of Gift voucher for 2 pax (couldn't easily split that) Gift voucher for 1 pax return Points redemption for...

I know Greenland is becoming popular

In the last calendar year I took 3 day time flights and one overnight flight from Asia to BNE. SQ now have two day time flights SQ265 Dep 0705 Arr 1635 SQ245 Dep 0955 Arr 1945 VietJet VJ83 Dep 1045 Arr 2210 My experience is it is very hard to take these flights unless you are in these cities...

It's actually not so bad and very refreshing. In the past two membership cycles I've gone from Gold in both QF & VA to nothing. Last year I even stuffed up the family pooling so that I missed VA Gold. Anyway, fast forward the wonderful experience of flying SQ J RTW. Choosing convenient flight...

I am becoming convinced that we have allowed the banks to create an electronic payments system which has removed the last physical barrier. As the OP points out they have their ePayments code and a solid system that allows them to prove it was the OP that gave the go ahead BUT how can the OP...

Had an acquaintance driving Uber where he would go Brisbane city to the BNE Domestic. He would take a particular surface route (toll free) but the Uber app added the tunnel toll. I'm not sure if this driver 'hack' is still being used in Brisbane. I'm thinking he had a surface route (orange)...

I'm also with Amaysim and received texts in countries they say thy didn't support. This is different to Aldimobile who say they don't cover Vietnam and in that country their sim doesn't even connect to a network. BTW I've been using the Amaysim $25/12 months roaming package which gives me bits...

Being based in Brisbane I didn't bother with the Kris+ app. But does the JB Hi-Fi offer work outside of our southern capitals?

On my recent RTW with SQ J BNE-SIN-LHR/FRA-NYC /SEA-SIN-BNE the J cabins between BNE/SIN were completely full and had been for many months. Unlikely to see much availability in this sector. The other sectors were also very full but some available seats. I wonder if this holds true for Suites...

You are certainly not getting a list of 'available hotels'. You are getting the personalised 'subset' of hotels according to their algorithms and experience that will most quickly guide you to a booking. Maybe that's a good service but please do you research. I hate booking hotels through...

The more I delve into these sites Booking and Expedia the more I start to realise how bad they are for consumers by creating a false narrative of 'available' options. Another nasty nasty trick they have is to show you 'relatively' priced hotels in your search area. By this if you were to first...

Have you checked you aren't having both 'bucket', 'jar' terminology conflated here. You can have USD Jar (inaccessible by card) and USD Balance (accessible by card) I do note that they have recently improved the money transfer functionality within the app to/from Jars. Originally you could...

Seems I will add to this body of knowledge and say no luck either. I did try. Already switched the FF program for the rest of the itinerary to another earning partner.

Anyone had any luck getting VA to retroactively send SC across through family pooling? In what can only be described as a massive SNAFU, Mr Albatross didn't have Mrs Albatross's family pooling, even though he had months to ensure it was all set. Consequently after starting their RTW SQ journey...

Just to update on this the check-in staff were able to add the different VA and SQ earnings to each sector of my ticket and the points and SC posted as expected. Unfortunately I screwed up the VA family pooling setup and now we have two family members with VA Silver and none with Gold. Kicking...
