    Short turnarounds: Have you flown back from your destination with the same crew?

    Same as drron above, I've had the same plane/crew when going PER-MEL-SYD or something similar (booked like that to get more sectors rather than going non-stop).

    Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

    VA558 PER-SYD 18 Dec Creamed spinach gnocchi (vegetarian) with the option of bacon. I really enjoyed it. My order was taken first in 2C, presumably as a Platinum, but served 6th as she served 1ACDF and 2ACDF in order. The CSM mentioned she added extra bacon since only me and my seatmate in 2A...

    Double Status Credits - October 2023

    Not that it really matters (they both get different exclusives throughout the year), but ET was definitely at least 45 minutes behind on this one...

    You could split the booking and then go ahead to upgrade yourself?

    Virgin Voyages Access Keys for 79,999 points on the Velocity Store

    The media release from Virgin last Friday really hyped up the 'cashless cruise' and 'no cash required to book' angle, so it should be points only. Airlines would usually mention fees and taxes in the T&C's if they are applicable.

    AirAsiaX seating

    It's a leased plane (unsure which one, but I read previously it was Philippine Airlines A330. Those flying in AirAsiaX Flatbed get a proper lie-flat Business Class seat!

    Question about VA Platinum free flight or upgrades?

    It appears the Business rewards are being drip-fed. i.e. on some routes, you book one and another appears shortly after. Can't get two at the same time. But there's no guarantee another seat will appear as someone may have already booked the first one.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    There needs to be 'N' class availability in domestic Economy to request seats. Unfortunately, there are also a few more Red e-Deal fares above 'N' class so looking for that on the website is not a reliable indicator. None of the SYD-CBR flights on 4 June have 'N' Class at the moment.

    I am waiting for the Android app. Until then, I use the free version on my partner's iPhone for the nice graphics and tracking.

    London to Adelaide via Perth

    Your bags will probably be tagged to Adelaide if all flights are on the same reservation. But since Perth to Adelaide will be a domestic flight, you'll need to collect your bags in Perth, go through customs with them, and re-check them. You don't mention which airlines you're flying – that will...

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    For what it's worth, flighthacks now is reporting the same information: https://flighthacks.com.au/qantas-removes-guest-lounge-access/ So I guess it's a matter of interpretation of these new rules and whether QF needs to refine/clarify the rules around Qantas Club flying JQ international and...

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    https://www.pointhacks.com.au/news/qantas-changes-domestic-international-lounge-access-rules-2023/ A poll at the bottom of the article shows around 78% of respondents (around 170 so far) don't mind the removal of the domestic lounge access for non-travellers. Also on the PH Facebook page, one...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Where's everyone getting this conclusion from? I'm under the assumption that VA Platinum on a VA international flight MEL-DPS currently has no lounge access, based on the website info. SQ lounge access is only before SQ-operated flights MEL-SIN.

    Access to MH Platinum Lounge at KLIA

    I was at KLIA last weekend. Yes, the transfer train (Aerotrain) between the satellite pier (C-gates) and the main contact pier is still down, so passengers need to catch a bus. Immigration, luggage pick-up and customs are done at the main contact pier. As most MH international flights land at...

    Access to MH Platinum Lounge at KLIA

    Unfortunately, that's still a no. AirAsia flights depart from a completely separate terminal to the one you arrive on with Malaysia Airlines. There is no physical way to get to the MH lounge once you've cleared security for the AirAsia X flight. Even if there was, the lounge would not let you in...

    Access to MH Platinum Lounge at KLIA

    No, there is no on-arrival access. When you clear customs and get your hold bag, you won't be able to re-enter the KLIA terminal airside where the lounge is. You'll need to make your way to KLIA2 – a separate terminal on the other side of the airfield – and check-in for AirAsiaX there. You may...
