| Virgin
Velocity Status Challenge |
Platinum
status with Virgin Australia's Velocity
Frequent Flyer program could be closer than
you think!
One member has received a "mini status
challenge" from Virgin. This member has just
re-qualified for Gold Velocity status for
another year. Now, Virgin has promised to
upgrade their status tier to Platinum if
they earn an additional 21 status credits in
the next two weeks. These status credits
could easily be earned on a short domestic
trip.

| Using
Qantas Points to Hawaii in
Business |
| Hawaii
is a popular destination for
Australian holidaymakers.
So, it's no surprise that
Qantas' Sydney-Honolulu
flight is an extremely
popular route for frequent
flyers hoping to use their
Qantas points for a Business
class reward. Unfortunately,
Qantas rarely ever releases
Business class award seats
to Hawaii. Point upgrades
are also extremely difficult
to score on this route. Less
than Platinum and your
chances are more...

| How
to Spend 11 Hour Bangkok
Layover? |
| Eleven
hours is a long time to
spend in any airport. But
that's exactly what our
member MH_fan
plans to do in Bangkok.
Their inbound flight from
Europe arrives in the
morning, with the onward
Qantas flight to Sydney
departing late in the
afternoon. This leaves our
member with 11 hours to
spare. I have almost 11
hours to kill at BKK in a
couple of weeks more...
