Frogman - you must be VETA HKG. An email was sent on Friday night to saying all VETA employees - even in HKG must use paypal. Thanks for the great notice period! No more direct debit.
looking at the upside - at least you get credit card points for using CX staff travel if you pay by credit card through paypal.
Listing - I understand if you use "iFlystaff" the tickets are "Flown" but you have to list with the airline (e.g. BA listing site) except CX/KA where you list on iJourney.
If you use "My ID Travel" you are dealing directly with the airline, pay by card and list all in one go. Incidentally I think you wait 4-6 weeks for refund if not used.
I think iFlystaff vs. MyIDTravel is a VHS vs. Betamax type thing. One will eventully dominate.
It does seem we have lost the ability to see DOJ/priority of other staff travellers - hopefully only temporarily
