Joined, just put in a retro claim for flights within the last 6 months... we'll see if they get approved.
Not a chance. Rex lounges aren't something to get excited by.Quite. But it might help reduce overcrowding in QF and VA lounges…..
I’ve seen it mentioned that they are will match both QF and VA Golds to to Rex Diamond.Well tier benefits don't kick in until February next year so a while away to wait.
Even then, I can't see them matching to diamond tier and dishing out free lounge access given how small those spaces are.
Per reports from various Fleet websites/forums, ZL are set for more ex-SQ/MI 737-800s leases from SQ.Personally, no, I am not joining REX Flyer.
Flown them once a few months back, it was a former VA plane.
Will wait till REX gets more planes, and their frequencies gets better.
The remaining SQ leases come off between Sep 24/Jan 26, probably up the lessor not SQ, you would assume they are happy with Rex having already offloaded some, no reason why they wouldn’t give them the rest. It does appear SQ have done a deal with the leasing company for an early exit, they are only flying the -800s for a couple hours each day at the moment.Will be interesting to see how that goes for them, and whether SQ will lease out their remaining 800NGs to Rex eventually.
Any unsold seat will be available as Ultimate Rewards on the day or departure. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.Interesting Last Minute Flight Rewards rules for Ultimate seats (lowest points required)
At 48 hours before departure: All unsold Economy seats (except 5) will be available as an Ultimate reward
This meant for anyone to score a single Ultimate reward seat in a regional route (Saab 340 capacity 36) you must have at least 6 unsold seats or 17% unsold seats.
This may only happen on non peak schedule flights, since the usual early morning late evening flights are rarely that empty, unless they are on unpopular mid week routes (and trust me, if they are not turning a dime, they will either cut frequency or the entire schedule of the route)

I suspect they've compiled enough data on it. And to be frank if they have no external partners then it's a hollow offer as so few people will have any points to spend anywayThat is a bizarre commercial decision. Last remaining seats in the last 48hrs can be a significant chunk of revenue if sold at cash price. Why would they throw those seats away for basically nothing?
I mean, during peak peak periods, that will be handy.
Well, they are still accounted for as revenue. And in peak periods, they may be harder to come by.That is a bizarre commercial decision. Last remaining seats in the last 48hrs can be a significant chunk of revenue if sold at cash price. Why would they throw those seats away for basically nothing?

If they get it wrong, I guess it'll disappear (err, be enhanced) in six months.
Thanks for the response, agree that the day of flight clause pretty much released all seats including the 5 seats previously embargoed at 2 days.Any unsold seat will be available as Ultimate Rewards on the day or departure. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
Well… remember the meltdown a couple weeks ago at SYD… everything cancelled left tight and centre. My friend was on the 4pm VA, with baby. Flight cancelled and offered 9am the next day.That is a bizarre commercial decision. Last remaining seats in the last 48hrs can be a significant chunk of revenue if sold at cash price. Why would they throw those seats away for basically nothing?

Maybe FFers for other airlines are too stubborn to fly rex? or they just don’t know/didn’t think? But certainly they won’t be giving away seats they think they might be able to sell!
I was thinking this but had to read it a couple of timesJoined, just put in a retro claim for flights within the last 6 months... we'll see if they get approved.
they now have this tip if you don't pick a suitable password, the requirements are interesting.. had to shorten up my usual passwordsThe earlier tip about not starting with number was useful.
Excellent work Rex, so what that tells me is that the search space for passwords is between 6 and 15 characters, with a possible 70 characters for each required to work out the password for any given email address, subtracting guesses where the first character is a number. With that sort of info, anyone with the means could very easily crack a user's password if they know their e-mail address.Use min 6 and max 15 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, symbols $@$ ! % * ? & # uppercase characters. The password cannot start with a number.
This is the part that confuses me.Also just realised the points amounts are all flexible based on cheapest fare in the relevant booking class.
Very misleading given they've published an award table when in reality it's the published fare, discounted by between 35-50% (depending on fare class) and then multiplied by 100.
How long before the Status Match promo?
