Are Virgin Australia’s 777s on the way back?
Oct 04, 2024, 06:37 PMThose ex-VA 777s are being used on low yield leisure routes ex DOH for some years now and I wouldn’t hold my breath so see them back on higher yield DOH-Australia long haul.

Qantas is cracking down on illegal buying & selling of frequent flyer points
Dec 31, 2018, 08:03 PMOh for goodness sake get real, the QFF program is for members to enjoy and extending points to your close family and friends is acceptable, on-selling your points in a commercial capacity to all and sundry is not in the spirit of the program and I’d be surprised if legitimate status members...
