  • Here are the new Amex Velocity credit cards

    Nov 06, 2024, 08:25 AM

    So pay $12,000 per year buying Choice/Flex fares for Gold Status, or pay $440 per year with this for lounge access and just buy Lite fares. I have no idea what's going on at VA.

    Are you sure thats for QF Lifetime Gold? I can't see that anywhere, though I know its a requirement for P1.This is what I found on the QF Lifetime Gold page "Status Credits are earned on eligible Qantas, Jetstar, oneworld® member and oneworld connect® airlines only" - so looks like all On...

    Great that they've introduced lifetime status though the 75% of SC having to be on VA is a bit hard to swallow. I've been VA Platinum for close to 10 years and many of the routes I've earned SC have just not been able to be booked as a VA ticket. And even if I could have booked as VA, there was n...

  • Fare codes and earning status credits on Oneworld intra-Asia flights

    May 11, 2024, 03:10 PM

    If you book via Expedia it will show you the fare codes when booking, and sometimes allow you to choose different fare codes too (obviously at a price increase).

    I did US pre-clearance at YYZ in October and they didn't even need my passport! Scanned my face with a little webcam, asked why I was going to the US and walked through. Never seen anything like it. Sure beats the lines at LAX!

  • Etihad lounge access for a guest

    Dec 15, 2023, 08:48 PM

    As a Business flyer you cannot, but as a VA Platinum member you can, so in your case the answer is yes you'll be allowed one guest. I'm a VA Platinum based in Melboune and Etihad is my go to airline for EU travel. The Melbourne lounge is called The House.Note as a VA Platinum when flying out of A...
