so today i just decided to randomly give VS a call and see whats what and to my amazement there were not one but two Gs available outbound and inbound, so what else is a v-flyer to do lol
So now the countdown begins.
Also there was no mention of seat selection? do i still need to wait till T60?
Also now that i rinsed a massive portion of my airmiles im thinking about miles booster, would i be right in thinking if i buy double that i would in effect triple my airmiles for this flight?
i have even booked two of the hotels already lol and glad i did as the rate has since gone up!!

Well done!
We always boost our miles after a trip, as the ad says...get to those rewards faster!

Well done on getting the reward seats.
I have never done a miles booster, but it certainly looks good value.
I will do it in future.

Seat selection will be from 25th June like all seat requests that aren't at T-60 at the moment, then for all pax apart from those not paying to select seats in Y it will be from the time of booking.

Additional: just checked my MMB and my FC number is not associated with my booking? hmmm t would have expected it to be automatic given that I did call the AU line to book and redeem miles in the first place.
Minor detail I suppose as I can just enter it myself.
Anyway just glad to have got the Gs!! Thats the most important bit. :-)

I'm so jealous. I'm so busy trying to maintain AU that I never get to book reward flights. I miss my red and AG days when all I cared about was using miles to get bookings.

But hey ho. I'll look at the miles piling up as my retirement savings

Well done!

So pleased the Upgrade Fairy has waved her G wand upon you. y) ;)

I always do miles booster & always before we fly as I know I'll forget afterwards.

Don't forget we'll be waiting for your TR.

Happy flying

@roxy-popsy thanks :)
I will definitely try to do my TR a bit quicker next time. I did do a TR for the outbound but I think I have forgotten to do my return TR from my previous trip :|
I will defo do the milesbooster this time!! its coming out at £248 to double the base miles of 12,000miles

@tinuks - yes you can look forward to using them all one day, thats a good idea and also if you have the flexibility then usually easier to redeem
