Hi there! An update - we didn't get an upgrade because our flight was bumped from an Airbus to a smaller Boeing 737-800 :-( We were told by staff that the allocated Airbus had an aircon failure so the Boeing was a substitution, to their credit Qantas sorted all this with minimum fuss and...

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I've decided to use the points on the flight to Perth business class upgrade! I submitted an upgrade request, the person on chat support said there are plenty spare on our particular flight. I have flown a lot in my lifetime, but only ever in economy class so...

I know... Dr Ralph - tough choice haha! We want to go to LA in a year or so, be good to upgrade to Premium Economy or Business on that (but not sure on how many points are needed) I've put in my request for upgrade, I can always knock it back if I get an upgrade offer right? Graeme

Hi Craven, Thanks for the info - I can confirm it is A330 at the moment.. Flight QF653.

Hi there! Firstly, thank you all for your great advice over the years, this site has been such a fantastic resource for my wife and I as we plan our next adventures! OK - my question is - We are flying MEL > PER on Economy for our Christmas holidays. I was thinking of surprising my wife by...

Hello there :-) My wife and I are planning to go to Hawaii and USA later in this year (anytime after July really). We would probably want to spend around two weeks in total, so we would go Hawaii > LA > New Orleans. I was wondering a couple of things: What would be the best time between...

re: Strike by customs & immigration workforce ½ day - 1 July Hi there! Anyone with any experience of these kinds of strikes got any advice to share?! We are flying out tomorrow at 11:45am from Melbourne Tullamarine. I figure we need to arrive really early to get through, probably 7am...

Hi there! My partner and I are going to the UK and Italy next month, and I am wondering what would be the best way to get around. All our accommodation is already booked. We arrive in London on the 31st of August, and then our itenary goes like this: London > Liverpool - 5th Sept Liverpool >...

Hi everyone, Thanks again for all the great suggestions! I had a dig around Bangkok Air and Air Asia, and after crunching some numbers decided to go with flights via Thai Air to Koh Samui. MEL > USM cost around $1100 each, including tax. We get 20kg luggage (not that we'll be taking much, but...

Thanks! A great idea. Yes - I forgot about Air Asia - perhaps we could get a discount MEL > BKK return flight and tack an Air Asia flight to Koh Samui. I have flown them before too - they aren't bad!

Thanks for that info - I had a feeling they would have a time when flights were discounted - I was hoping it would be something not so close!

Hi there! Late last year I got on the Frequent Flyer board to ask questions about a holiday that me and my partner were wanting to take to the USA, using our FF points. Everyone chipped in and gave some amazing advice! Thank-you so much. We had a great time, the highlight being I popped the...

Hi there! Only 5 or so weeks before we go! I have a little bit of a conundrum I need to work out and was wanting some suggestions. We originally wanted to drive up the west coast from LA to SF on the 14th April, probably staying the night of 14th in the San Louis Obispo area, then...

They love to give a massive limit, just in case you DO use it one day... they really love to give consumers a long, long rope to hang themselves with!! :shock: It's a bit irresponsible of lenders to do this, IMHO, and there should be legistlation which forces banks to offer limit ranges to...

By "Fixed" does that mean you asked for a credit limit reduction? I just got this card and was very surprised at its high limit! I'm thinking of reducing the credit limit as I'd never use it anyway.
