No need to tip in any lounge in the US (including QF lounges) unless you are purchasing something (which isn't uncommon in Admirals Clubs, United Clubs etc where top level drinks are not free).You can tip maybe the shower staff if they go really over and above, but do not feel obliged or require...

FYI: Mine still had not posted and so had to call VA and they manually added.

Hi All,Has anyone received the status boost bonus from March in their velocity account? I have not... It was the bonus where you needed to book during the promo period, and take a minimum of 2 flights to receive 45 or more status credits.Thanks

Thanks all for the answers.Does anyone have any insight into Question 2? Why those specific A380s mothballed?

I have two questions- 1. How many A380s does Qantas have in service currently? I read a report only 6, but that seems very low to me?2. Does anyone know why the two that were scrapped, were the chosen ones to be scrapped? I don’t believe they were the oldest, so wondering what made the choi...

Just a warning to everyone- double check your points posted from Virgin Australia post flight. I took 2 flights this past week that were supposed to net over 6000 points, however only posted at about 1500 points. Rang Velocity and they mentioned a glitch in the system. Just a warning to keep an e...

This question is really dependant on your own situation. You should do some research into what cc right for you, but with a few questions to ask yourself first.

At least their loyalty program rewards points based on the cost of the ticket. I earn a hell of a lot more points than flying QF!

You are best off to just change your booking with QF to include the second leg. Might cost you 5 or 6k more points, but worth the peace of mind knowing your booking is all on one PNR

Yes - you will have your bags checked all the way through and receive your boarding passes for all flights on the same ticket at checkin.

A huge part of the problem is also the fact that they A) have made it so incredibly convoluded to find classic award seats on the website that most people don't understand the difference between classic awards and any seat awards. To the everyday person, the website is very difficult to navigate,...

Mexico is great- feels very far for Australians but Mexico are very used to English speaking tourists- think all of US and Canada flying south during colder months. You will be fine without a guide as lots of people in the bigger cities speak English. Do some tours in English of places you want t...

If you book/booked both through qantas you shouldn’t have any problem connecting the two and checking bags all the way through.

If you are checked in all the way to Paris (ie. Bags checked through), highly recommend leaving the airport - try and stick to a back pack and go have brunch somewhere - go down to Venice and have something to eat and get some fresh(ish) air and sun....Otherwise, I would recommend paying for loun...
