I booked a few weeks in to the announcement of the border bubble with New Zealand and Australia which to me seems mostly successful and booked Qantas flights with preferred times coordinated around my 1 year old. I have already had two cancelled flights and bumped to new flights either on...
Hi All
Bronze Q Club member with a question re: Domestic On Departure Upgrade Rewards. It says via the QF website
that Platinum One, Platinum, Gold and Qantas Club members with a paid and confirmed ticket can request a Domestic On Departure Upgrade Reward at Australian domestic Qantas Club...
I have one American Airlines systemwide upgrade to give away.
It's been that long since I used one that I sadly can't really remember the ins and outs of the benefit. From what I remember, though, one SWU is good for a one cabin upgrade on up to four AA-marketed and operated flight segments in...
So checking my account this morning I am showing 8 of 8 available. Not sure how they have accumulated so if I can use them would be great. Has anybody else have more than 4 showing available. Maybe the recent 18 month extension has something to do with it.
I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the upgrade process. In the past I’ve booked a domestic flight payed with cash and was able to immediately upgrade with points. I’ve made a recent domestic booking with points for economy but have been waitlisted for an upgrade. Is it as simple as...
As Per Exec Traveller
Qantas app will soon include upgrade alerts within hours of a flight
Thoughts ? Comments?
Would this only be an option once all waitlisted upgrades are cleared?
Not sure how many upgrades this will clear - I guess will give people the opportunity to snag an upgrade who...
Thought keep all rolling updates in one spot, with the statement that Virgin will convert all lounges to the new livery.
I have not flown and stepped inside a airport since December of 2019! I’m not sure what lounges are currently in the progress of conversion to the new livery.

Hi All,
I have just attempted to upgrade a couple of flights I have booked with my future flight credits (elevate fares) and it says that they are not eligible for an upgrade. I find it odd that VA would restrict this.

Just curious about what peoples understanding is when offered an upgrade for $ when picking up your rental car.
Last week at the Coast i was offered an upgrade to a brand new Merc GLC for $30 per day. My original rental was $221.00 for 4 days including charges.
When i got my invoice my cost...
Hi All
I'm heading to Exmouth next week and I've booked car hire for a few days. PC+ says you are entitled to an Avis one class free vehicle upgrade. Has anyone had this offered to them or asked and received the upgrade? It doesn't mention it anywhere on the booking I've received.
Thanks in...
Kind of academic just now, but the QFF T&Cs have been quietly changed, viz.
Old version:
16.3.3 Classic Upgrade Rewards will be awarded to Members according to their Qantas Frequent Flyer status levels in the following order: Platinum One Members first, then Platinum Members, then Gold Members...
I managed to book some Y tickets for Apr 2021 using my travel bank credits. Hoping that things get back to normal by then , when will be the best time to request free upgrade from Freedom fare to Business. Right now we have row 3 and flying return from MEL to OOL. TA
Velocity Frequent Flyer is now offering 30% off the points required for Velocity Reward Seats in Business class, as well as UpgradeMe Points upgrades. The discount is applied automatically, and is available for bookings and travel until 24 October 2020.
You could say that the discount reflects...
We are flying to Bali at the end of the month, my Significant Other has never earn't a QFF point in her life before but I have just signed her up. We are both travelling on the one PNR, I know how to apply to upgrade myself but how do I apply to upgrade her given that she has no points? (happy...
I’ve never used point for an upgrade before so have no idea what I’m doing
if I bought two tickets one for myself and one for my child from Canberra to Los Angeles what fare do I need to buy if I want to use points to upgrade us ?
How many points do you use for an upgrade to either premium...
Ciao Friends!
Have a flight coming up, MEL-LAX-JFK. The MEL-LAX is in T (PE) with QF, the LAX-JFK is a QF codeshare operated by AA on their A321T. I have a Y (flex economy) on the LAX-JFK leg.
I have no elite status directly with AA, though I can get access to AA miles through purchasing...
I have an upcoming booking from MEL - CNS and return. The fare class booked was elevate . When I logon to Velocity portal and try to bid for upgrade using points , it says my booking is not eligible for points upgrade.
As it is a domestic flight , not sure why my booking is not eligible for...
Been googling and can't find anything recent about the AA instant UP fares.
Tried looking on the AA.COM site doing an advanced search but don't see anything to look for an upgradeable fare.
I recently updated my Qantas marketing preferences. I'm surprised that for a return BNE-SYD that I would receive 9 emails over 7 days.
Regardless of how many offers the minimum bid of $120 still doesn't get me for a < one hour flight.
I guess I'll get at least another one to make an even...
