    United Airlines new Virgin Australia/Velocity Partner

    Maybe this is a married segment issue but I can see SYD-LAX-LHR on 22/5 in J. But there's no LAX-LHR on 22/5 in J or Y (or for any date I can see, really).

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks. Surely it's not normal to be queried about credit cards that predate the existence of the ITIN though?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I just (tried) to check the equifax score on a newly minted ITIN (via MyEquifax) and it asked me to verify by confirming several lines of credit taken out in 2020 and 2021. Anyone had this happen before? I denied all of it and was met with a screen telling me to call up.

    No ESTA but BP issued

    UA staff in Melbourne rebooked him for tomorrow which was very nice of them. I'm assuming they had no obligation to do so. edit: And his ESTA arrived just as his bags were offloaded.

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    This might be the wrong thread, but my partner is flying QF SYD-ADL tomorrow evening but it's on a CX flight number. She's having trouble linking the pass - is it possible at all to show the pass on her phone at the SYD Qantas Club lounge to get access or it won't work like that?

    Seperate VA and UA bookings

    I have a VA Y ADL-MEL booking (arrives 9.05am) and a separate UA J MEL-SFO (departs 13:00) booking (both award seats) on the same day. Is it possible to link these two flights? I'd hate to miss the MEL-SFO flight due to some delay. I could also rock up earlier and try to get on an earlier flight.
