Virgin Australia shakes up Velocity reward seats
Oct 18, 2024, 10:57 AMI can only speculate that this move is to prepare for closer alignment with Qatar. They'll want to encourage ppl to fly with QR over SQ etc, so jack up the points now, and then show that it's less with QR. This way they keep their relationships in place with their partners, but drive ...

Virgin moves to spend-based Velocity status earning
Oct 18, 2024, 08:27 AMI've long been a platinum velocity member, sometimes going 2x or 3x. But it was clear to me coming out of covid that the benefit of platinum over gold with VA was negligible. And without a proper international network, it just isn't worth staying loyal to VA. I now am still platinum w...

More Qatar flights to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth
Mar 24, 2024, 03:23 PMAm surprised they're not flying into the Gold Coast. Massive catchment region from Brisbane to Northern NSW. A demographic that has changed considerably over the years, with more and more business, government and premium demand, plus there is still a strong travel hungry base. For dema...

Rex aims for March 2021 start for Sydney-Melbourne-Brisbane flights
Jun 29, 2020, 07:40 PM737s and A320s make sense. Lots of cheap ones atm and I imagine certified engineers/pilots/dispatchers/cabin crew available to operate them. Good luck to them.

The Chairmans Lounge by Joe Aston
Nov 02, 2024, 08:46 PMI've just finished Joe Astons book, The Chairmans Lounge. As regular reader of his column in AFR I was looking for to his book on Qantas, Alan Joyce, and the other executives. The book did not disappoint and whilst I thought I knew a lot about Qantas, there were plenty of surprises. I won't s...

QF Status Credits on AA
Oct 11, 2024, 01:14 PMI'll keep an eye on it, but I've decided to fly via Sydney on QF. In addition to the status credits, I also avoid the A330 and overnight in LA. And it's significantly cheaper too. Just a shame as the AA option would have been great.

QF Status Credits on AA
Oct 09, 2024, 04:16 PMOdd is right. Whether I search via chrome or the qantas app I get the same results. BNE - ATL via DFW on QF4927 and QF4375 = a massive 20 status credits on a flex fare of $2,636.00. I tried to upload a screen shot, but doesn't seem to work.

QF Status Credits on AA
Oct 08, 2024, 05:08 PMUsually flying out of BNE for international flights to the USA, flying AA has never been an option. But as they're now flying into DFW from BNE, it's come up as an option via the QF website. I was just about to book when I notice you only get 20 status credits on an economy flex fare from BNE to...
