Flying MEL-BNE this afternoon and had an upgrade of minimum + $15 accepted at T-25. Only booked the tickets at T-26, J was going for nearly $1000(!) so bought a Choice fare and rolled the dice with the upgrade. Happy to fly J for well less than half the (somewhat ridiculous) asking price.

Hey, been here a little bit now but looking at booking my first real international reward flight using points (done a couple of domestic ones with no trouble). Looking at Europe in May, to either CDG or GVA ex BNE, for two adults and a two year old child. I can find flights very easily for one...

Flew VA336 BNE-MEL yesterday (23/11) and the experience overall was very good. Dining options were Kung Pao Chicken or the Yellow Veg Curry. I opted for the chicken, not bad, a little bit of spice, but a bit salty. Would have like to have tried both but my (junior) travelling companion slept...

Glad to hear that. I have always wanted to take my partner (who is a Coeliac) with me on a J flight as she's only ever flown Y before, but feared there was little point if she couldn't have a meal. I've heard it's hit-and-miss though about how much GF they can provide, varies flight to flight?

I flew standard Y CNS-BNE (no upgrade) two days ago but have yet to see points hit either, maybe there's a delay at the moment? By contrast, the flight I took 10 days ago going the other way the points hit almost instantly, as have all the others in recent months (including upgraded flights), so...

Finally got my Silver tags, was about to nag them this week but didn't need to in the end. Attained Silver: March 28 Received pack with tags: May 30 Maybe they send the Plat/Gold ones first? Would make sense I guess...

Glad to discover there is a thread on this. I went Silver for the first time in late March but have yet to receive anything. I know Silver isn't much to crow about compared to some, but given it's my first ever status upgrade it'd be nice to have the physical recognition of it. How long do you...

Yeah, I took the young man with me on that last J flight I did, he got his boarding pass scanned as well as mine to enter the Lounge. Got looks from my fellow passengers of "isn't he cute"/"what is this baby doing here" in equal measure. Fortunately he was well behaved for the flight (and boy...

Hey all, newbie here and relatively new to making the most of my VFF membership (despite having had one for years). I just chalked up Silver thanks to a J flight during the recent DSC promotion, and am trying to figure best uses of the perks/ways to level up. I normally travel with an under 2...
