airline status

In the past where possible I have tried to consolidate my travels on One World carriers to retain status. I now have a number of flights coming up on Star Alliance carriers in the next six months, some of which are in economy and if possible would love have lounge access. Can anyone recommend...

Hey everyone! First time posting here and I would appreciate knowing if anyone else has the same issue I have discovered. I was wondering if someone could explain to me what Qantas' Tier Status Bonus applies to? From their website the criteria are: Qantas flights. I am gold so would have...

Is there a value to have continuous status eg gold or platinum? Having had platinum for a few years I am going to lose it end of next travel year but more than likely regain the following year Wondering is it of value to do a status run to maintain? I will have 700 odd credits but not the 1200

Not that Air Italy status is of much use if you're not flying on Air Italy, but I notice that you can pay €500 to buy a year of Gold status in lieu of the usual qualification requirements. Now if only Air Italy would join Oneworld ;)...

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any experience on this. In relation to the guaranteed reward seats for Gold/Plat members; are these booked into revenue buckets and do you subsequently receive status credits on those flights? Thanks in advance.

Hi all. I've got a BNE-MEL return trip (Flexi and Saver) and BNE-SYD-CBR-BNE (Saver, 2x flexi) trip booked before I hit the last day of my membership cycle. I just noticed I was (sort of) tantalisingly close to hitting Platinum and needed 281 status credits to get there. I'm thinking there's...

As a retiree I usually only do one overseas trip a year and was surprised when booking a trip to Europe with Qantas recently to find the checked luggage allowance for Silver FF has been reduced to the same level as Bronze members. When did this change occur and why wasn't it publicized? Apart...

Looks like there is another double status credit promo coming up on Monday. Book by 27 May, travel until April 14 2020. https://experience.velocityfrequentflyer.com/offer?channel=agent&promo_code=VADBLSTAT

This thread is for discussion about the ongoing Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles status match offer. The following AFF article contains more information about this status match: Star Alliance Status Match with Turkish Airlines

I have an SQ F saver redemption (O class) flying MEL-SIN-BKK RT for next year with my VFF number linked to the booking. Will this flight earn VA SC's & if so, roughly how much? I usually hover around 100-110 SC's as a VA Red, but if the above flight does earn SC's I might book a few Dom...

If you join QF. FF in June and aquire gold in October when does the gold expire. In the following June or October, or is it June the year after. Thanks

Hi all My employer has a policy that does not permit me to accrue status credits or points for flights. Is there a way to get my WP number on the booking so I get priority seat selection and lounge access but not actually accrue any points or status credits in the process? Cheers m

Hi, we are flying one way from Adelaide to Singapore in Nov (cruise back). I am Silver VFF atm but hope to become gold in mid June, if I've done my calculations right. Flying direct out of Adelaide we have two choices Singapore or Virgin, but essentially only one as it is a codeshare flight...

This is just a hypothetical question, but how much would you be prepared to pay to buy status credits from Qantas outright? I recently received an offer from United (who I have gold status with) offering to sell me PQMs for USD150 per thousand (up to a maximum of 15,000 PQMs). To put that into...

Hi Guys, I have some status credits that are about to expire end of this month. If I was going to book some business or first class seats through KF points for a flight several months out, will that give me extra status credits / add onto my current status credits and let me move up a tier...

I received an email today from United with a "special offer" to buy up to 15,000 PQMs (Premier Qualifying Miles)/15 PQSs (qualifying segments) between now and 30 April. For those not familiar with the program, these count towards status (so it's basically like buying status credits). The prices...

Hi,new to this. I am booking a multi city flights all with Qantas through Skyscanner (Expedia) they are all Qantas ticketed but flights are with Emirate’s. Will I still receive status credits ? Sorry if I’m posting this in wrong section

I took a flight ASP-BNE on Sunday and just before check-in was notified of changes to the flight. Got to the counter and they were able to tell me the flight was now going via AYQ due to the need to drop off an engineer to fix a stranded plane. Must've been an urgent job since he wouldn't have...

Hello AFF Velocity experts My husband has retained Platinum and is about to get enough points to gift gold in his 12 months rolling membership (June). Does he need to gift it as soon as it's earned or can he do it before the end of the next 12 months June 2020? Does he only get one in his...

Jetstar is running some very cheap club fare tickets, eg $19 SYD-AVV one way that's 20 SCs with the $85 bundle, $5.2/sc. I just booked a 2-day return trip in August SYD-TSV $59+85 one way for 30 SCs, paid $258+$30 voucher from recent auto-renewal offer for 60 SCs, which is $4.3/sc. Quite good...
