redeem points

Hi I booked a classic reward redemption on JQ domestic in Spt 2023 for travel last week. I expected it will be seat plus one checked bag and no food. My first flight had a time change of 4 hours and i accepted the change and got reticketed in October. When I was on the first flight the flight...

Hi, I need to get a flights for 2 adults and 1 child PER -HKG return Wanting to depart any date between the 8th and 11th of Dec, returning to Perth between the 3rd and 7th of Jan 2025. I have enough points for 1 adult return. There doesn’t look to be any availability. If I booked 3 premium...

I noticed that the Velocity website states that Premium Economy reward seats are available to book on Air Canada: However, I have never actually seen one available. Even when Premium Economy awards are available to book through Aeroplan at the lowest points level, Velocity (and all other Air...

I booked a reward flight on AA via British Airways EC, ORD-PUJ last weekend. It went through smoothly and I got the e-ticket confirmation. I've tried to manage the booking on AA to select our seats multiple times, but I just get an error message. I've tried with the booking reference and the...

Looking at SIN/MEL, I noticed that J rewards are 75,000 QF points (vs 68,000 on QF metal). Ok maybe EK (and BA) are more 'expensive'. But what's going on with taxes? QF redemption on EK404 SIN-MEL is 75,000 points + SGD 84.40 whereas EK405 MEL-SIN is 75,000 points + AUD1,217.67 !! Does...

Hi team, might be asking a bit much of airlines and airport staff, but worth asking you all. Snagged a Velocity reward seat on QR in J from Europe to ADL next year. Issue is, I live in MEL (there were no awards available the day I wanted). So, I’ll need to tack on a domestic flight home. I...

For my planned trip next year, the rarest of miracles has happened: Qantas has a classic J redemption available on the day I wish to travel! Praise the Lord! Unfortunately, things never work out perfectly. There is only a redemption available flying out of BNE-LAX rather than my home town of...

Received this email from Virgin Australia Business Flyer: Of course, I just transferred most of the points out of my account last week 🥹

First attempt!!!!! Was seeking Pixel 8 Pro 512Gb for best price..... Telstra had their Telstra Plus points and pay option that BF price started a week early and did not change Black Friday and I don't believe will change for Cyber Monday but ends Monday midnight. Rang Telstra Thursday and...

Looks like Qatar Airways and JetBlue launched a new partnership earlier this month which includes reciprocal award redemptions. This could be an interesting new option for people with Avios (or Amex points that can be converted to Avios) to book JetBlue flights, especially their trans-Atlantic...

Other than making a dummy reservation, is there an online calculator to compute QF points required to book an international multi-sector route on QF and partner airlines?

Bit of a strange one while doing some flight research. Male (Maldives) > Colombo > Melbourne on Sri Lankan Airlines is 100,000 pts +$247 in Economy or 86,200 points and $341 in Business. Wouldn't be a difficult decision if I was in a position to make a firm booking right now!

So I've just booked a flight on BA (with QFF points) in business class (rewards) on which I was able to select seats quite easily (QF Gold / OW Sapphire). Turns out that I had to make another booking for a family member on the same flight, and unfortunately they had no status so wasn't able to...

Hi all, looking for some advice. My Velocity redemption for SQ SIN-MEL was moved forward by 10 minutes, and this tiny change is leading to some unfortunate consequences. The current situation is: - I’ve noticed in the SQ online Manage Flight portal that there’s a banner saying I’m not ticketed...

Very excited to have just snagged 3 United Polaris reward seats from LAX to BNE in March. How good are seats.aero alerts! I only had enough Velocity points for one seat so booked one seat with Velocity (95,500 Velocity points) and the other 2 with Air Canada Aeroplan (a bargain 75,000 Aeroplan...

Howdy, I recently made a PE reward return booking SYD>LA. QF there, AA back.. Unfortunately I needed to update the passenger name (different person entirely), spoke to QF within 24 hours and they advised as AA was involved they were unable to change name but we could cancel, and the...

Hello all! I've currently got a J redemption SIN-MEL and looking at changing it to BKK-MEL. There's no longer J seats available on the BKK-SIN leg but I'm ok to take this flight in Y. Given the zones are the same, the miles required should technically be at the same rate right? I had assumed...

A lot of points collectors seem to think that a sign of success is having a balance in the millions. I don't subscribe to this theory - let me explain why. I've just spent every last point in my Velocity account. I'm very happy with this result because it means I've been able to spend the...

KrisFlyer is offering 25% off all Economy Saver awards across the entire SQ network, for travel between January and July 2024. Also 25% off Premium Economy Saver awards on selected non-stop routes from Singapore to the USA. Book by Sunday 22 October. Seems to be in lieu of the usual monthly...

Hi all, I was wondering what you all would consider a minimum threshold for redemption points value for it to be worth spending Qantas points on? Obviously different things will have different values, such as hotels, classic flight awards, upgrades etc. I'm mainly thinking of using my points on...
