    QF DSC - Domestic only | Book by 30 Mar | Travel 31 Mar 2021 to 28 Feb 2022

    Thanks for the info - much appreciate your reply. (Actually I thought I'd replied earlier, but apparently not. My apologies for that oversight !)

    Bumped from Row 4 at the gate

    I had a pre-covid experience of being "bumped" by Qantas on a flight to CNS. Mrs Dalmunzie and I were booked into seats 2A & 3A respectively (it was on a 330) and after check-in we were called to the desk in the business lounge. The lady on the desk asked if we would like to move to make way for...

    QF DSC - Domestic only | Book by 30 Mar | Travel 31 Mar 2021 to 28 Feb 2022

    This may be a dumb question but here goes: To take advantage of the DSC offer by Qantas I've booked a return flight to CNS - outbound in discount business and return using using points. According to my calculations this should give me 60 x 2 SC's - sufficient to maintain Gold through the status...

    What's your favourite 747 memory?

    So many fond memories of 747's..... First time ever was in March '73, BA LHR - SYD, in Y,via goodness knows where (probably SIngapore, although I used have a habit of choosing flights based on the number of stops on the way - the more the merrier !) I do remember commenting to my Dad when I got...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    HA ! Since my original post less than an hour ago, I have now received the following email from Qatar. I wonder if it's just coincidence or whether my follow-up had some immediate effect. Job done ! Dear Mr W Membership Number: It is our pleasure to welcome you to Gold membership tier...

    Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

    Hi - my status match application was acknowledged on 2 June but on checking my Qatar dashboard it stated the "Service Request" was "Resolved" although I'm still shown as Burgundy. I sent the a follow-up today and that has triggered an "New" flag being placed on my Service Request. We'll see...

    Keep Virgin Australia in the Skies

    There are so many different aspects to consider as to whether the Government should assist or not. The short answer is absolutely ! Therefore petition happily signed by another from the "flurry" of 5-6 times posters !

    Virgin Australia launches 'coronavirus status extension' plan

    It is 1st April - maybe that had something to do with it ? (Albeit a bit late in the day !)

    London Hiltons - Which is the best

    Hilton Paddington is my top pick, at least for the first few nights in London. Access from Heathrow is brilliant via Heathrow Express - 15 mins and you’re there - the hotel has direct access from the station. In fact, if you’re not too worried about the cost, it’s worth ditching the chauffeur...

    Business class - worth the points?

    Hi Have you tried using Frequent Flyer Solutions ? I know this doesn't directly answer your question but it may be helpful when deciding the value of J vs Y They came up with some amazing deals for me in Oct for a mid Dec trip to the UK in J. Their Report back to me was not simply an email with...

    Qantas intl - baggage

    I haven't flown QF International for quite a while now, preferring some of the better deals with Etihad, Emirates & Singapore etc. However, I arrived back in SYD yesterday on QF118 from HKG and whilst the flight was relatively on time there was no gate for us, so we were parked over in the cargo...

    Different Treatment as an Upgrade Customer

    Hi to all AFF members, Here's my first post on this wonderful site....... I joined the Virgin FF program 5 years ago when they offered a Status Match and that, at the time, suited me greatly as my business flying days were almost over and I was about to lose my Platinium status with Qantas...
