About 20 years ago I purchased Life Time Qantas Club, then 7 or 8 years ago achieved the LTG level, how would they calculate a "pro rata" in this case? From memory cost was about 4K for self and partner for LT QC

Just thought I thought i would share this itinerary which has just been ticketed as a pretty good example of maximising value from Classic Oneworld redemptions. The following currently only has one economy sector from LAS to LAX which I suspect will be able to be changed before travel date to a...

Lets see, think I will cancel and get full points refund, my problem is that I live normally in 4217 and booked my runs from OOL but I am stuck in Perth for another six months so I also dont know when we will have unrestricted travel to/from WA?

I booked a few reward tickets when the last DSC offer was current for flights taken before the end of Feb 2022. Given all the current lockdowns etc do you think there is any likelihood of QF allowing a date change that would take the date AFTER original final date and be when hopefully there...

Just been updated on board, we Aussies and ALL OTHER pax will be allowed to disembark in Freemantle on 18th, Australians are being directed to self isolate for 2 days, being 14 less credit allowed for time travelled since last stop in Columbo, even though nobody came aboard or left the ship as...

Out of the sky and onto the water, I am on a cruise ship that left the Seychelles 16 days ago, stopped in Columbo for bunkering and resupply where no one came on board or hopped off as Sri Lanka had closed it borders to cruise passengers. We were heading to Asia previously but with current...

Maybe we could all use a VPN to book our QF flights and make our booking appear to be coming from a country in Europe, if we were downgraded we should be able to claim compensation under the Euro system?

My understanding (information provided to me at one time by QF reservations premium) is that QF control the inventory on the LAN code share flights from Aus. Surely this would make QF responsible to offer compensation for denied boarding?

I remember a year or so ago checking in AKL-MEL (overnight stop MEL)-KUL-AMS-LHR then to Pisa Italy and they held the checked baggage overnight and transferred to MH as far as AMS then transferred to BA for the next two sectors and when we arrived in Italy the bags were there to meet us, not...

Just noticed that Mac Bank do not offer the Hilton card any more and I called them to confirm and it is not even available to existing (other) card holders with Mac. I think i wont be letting mine go as an easy way to Plat. each year and I have also confirmed that the "year" for the 40K spend is...

Yesterday I was lined up at gate 22 in CNS for JQ flight to OOL and at the boarding desk, when my boarding pass was scanned, I was asked (as I had exit row seat) had I sat in an exit row previously, I responded "yes" and then I was asked what I thought was a strange question "How long ago" or...

I have a booking AKL-SYD-CGK (overtnight in CGK) then next day to DOH, after arriving DOH I have a separate booking (QF points redemmption) to MAD. The transit time between flights is only 60 minutes, the minimum Qatar allow. Travelling all sectors U class What are the chances of bags being...

I have a US account (denominated in US$) and was hoping to be able to withdraw $US without any conversion costs, but if I withdraw max allowable the local AUD fee of $3.50 would be OK.

Thanks pjm, did you by chance withdraw any US$, as I was wondering how the conversion (if any) would work, ie would they change the say $100 US into AUS and then back to US at their rates or if I used a US based card, would it just be a "stright deduction" from the account, plus maybe an ATM fee?
