Hi everyone - I am working on an itinerary to the UK for December 2020. I have most of the pieces in place but I cant see any availability for BA on the Qantas site from any European city. I have tried multiple cities, dates, one passenger etc but nothing is coming up. The BA site shows plenty...

Primarily to give it a go, but also getting into London a couple of hours earlier was a big plus

I don't recall seeing any but that doesn't mean they weren't there!

I flew QF9 from Perth - LHR last week in J (connecting from Sydney). Just a few observations:- (Not 787 related but need to vent) - chauffeur pickup from home didn't turn up... fortunately I had booked an early time but ended up arriving at the airport 5 mins prior to boarding thanks to some...

Yes - I flew on QF9 in J last week, (connecting from SYD) and the doors to international transit remained shut until 2 hours prior to departure. There was no signage or staff on hand to let you know when the doors might be open so I just sat there like a lemon instead of backtracking to the...

Thanks - great info as I was weighing up options for a trip to the UK in July with the family. Suffice to say that I'll be going on the A380. However, I am doing QF9 to Heathrow in J for work next week so if anyone has any burning questions they want me to answer let me know (although I am sure...

Its a very, very broad question! Can you give us a few more pointers - budget, what else you might want in a destination, preferred time of year, do you prefer warm or cold weather? Off the top of my head, North Island NZ for kingfish, Patagonia for trout, Baja, Mexico for big game, remote NT...

If you want to be hands on and have control but without the costs of seting up a SMSF I would also recommend taking a look at ING Living Super - lots of flexibility with regards to share trading etc.

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo Just to add my 2c - cards arrived early this week and welcome pack 3 days later. I don't have a transaction account and the letter mentions fee fee for the first year.

Received my sign on points today with the first statement. Applied on 20 June, approved 27 June, the only slightly painful bit was having to call to opt in and provide QFF number which took 10 mins or so.

Thanks - much appreciated

Hi - can anyone let me know the loadings for QF1 on the 16th January please? Much appreciated

Happy days. Just received a voicemail from the lovely people at qantas who have bumped me up to WP for next year... Thanks for all the advice

Thanks for all the responses. I have called them and the response was that it was possible, but on a case by case basis to be assessed by the supervisor. They asked me to call back once my next trip is done so that the SC shortfall is less and by which time I might have a couple more September...

Its 1400 to get to WP for the first time - have been silver for a while before though, but just doing a bit more travel now.
