I was in the CBR QF Lounge – last night. With Mrs and the 7 year old, trying to go CBR-BNE. Many SYD flights werr canx First, with the strong winds in SYD, operations were cut down to one runway. So backlogs inevitable. All day. Why the announcements were so late was a mystery to me and...

Thanks All The MH schedule looks achievable - but dumb question, how do I book it as classic? ( I have 250k points) I try to book on the QF website but MH doesn't show up as an option. Gary

Agoda AFF - "This Promotion code has already been used" great offer - I just tried to book for a promotion eligible hotel but something is wrong - it wont accept the code as it has already been used? sounds like they set it up as a single use code only? Screen shots available...
