FYI: Singapore Airlines has responded to my enquiry. Luggage allowance is per sector... So, even if two sectors are on the same ticket, I will only get 30KG on the first economy sector and 40KG on the second business sector (effectively making it 30 kg luggage allowance for the flight). Seems...

I will be flying Singapore Airlines to south-east Asia shortly. I have a flexi economy ticket purchased already, and I noticed I could upgrade one, or both sectors to business class. Both sectors are on the same ticket, and there is a two-hour layover at SIN. If I upgrade JUST the second sector...

This is correct. My first flight will be in 8 months from now and my last will be in 20 months. (EG: Fly out the 15th of October 2019 and make sure I am finished before the 14th of October 2020)

We need to be in Canada in October and current prices appear to be close to $3k each in Y. We have hundreds of thousands of points in QFF, Krisflyer and Virgin reward programs so I started looking into RTW trips and think I could find something that also gets me a Euro holiday the following...

Well yea. I had been hoping to find a cheaper price given SIN could usually be used as a hub. At this stage, price wise, I'm better off returning home and doing a separate trip to SIN. Is this because Air Canada offers a better product/service? Or just because of the non-LAX transit (and...

I am looking to fly to New York in the first week of November and the two best looking options I've found are Qantas (via LAX) and Air Canada (via YVR). As an extra bonus, I would love to stop over in Singapore for a week on the return leg, but this seems to be beyond most booking sites ability...

Will I get any love as a QFF Platinum?

If I use the current 25% off Qantas Reward Bookings, am I able to change the flight on the same day? EG, book the flight 4 hours from when I land. If I land on-time and transfer airport successfully, can I ask to be bumped up to an earlier flight (space permitting?)

Those were the most optimistic flight options I have. What would be the minimum time you'd allow for? 2 hours?

We am flying out of SYD international (with an infant!) at noon on a China Eastern flight (booked via CEA) I now need to book separate domestic tickets to get to SYD. If I arrive into SYD at 1040hrs, would that give me enough time (1hr 20mins) to collect bags and make it over to the...

Feel free to transfer it to me :) /s Spoke to another customer service rep, and again told that 'only the computer' can give out Explore Gold. No one is willing to budge or even look at my current spend at Qantas.

Sorry, should have mentioned I was asking in regard to the try economyX promo. I'm QFF WP thinking about making the switch (but VA make it so hard! I just want the 'explore gold' option so I don't have to start from scratch)

Quick Question... If I am flying CBR-xSYD-DRW, which leg(s) need to be YX to get access to the lounges? eg, if I upgrade the xSYD-DRW leg, will I get lounge access in CBR? What if I just upgraded CBR-xSYD, will I get lounge access to SYD on my layover? And can someone explain the seat...

Does anybody know how to get 'targeted' for Explorer Gold? No such luck with my flybuys, and their facebook rep wasn't the most helpful.I'm a Platinum QFF looking to make the switch. Happy to go with Explorer Gold as I have several domestic legs and half a dozen international legs I need to book...

Have an Aussies applied for the card through their own start up? I own a very basic business (importing items and reselling) and I'm trying to work out if it is worth attempting to apply for the card. I meet the travel requirements (5 trips to 4 different APEC economies in the last 9 months)...
