    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Couldn't agree more. Although, I feel like there is no hope. QF just don't care about the customer. They have been found out and have been publicly called out - but nothing will change IMO.

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Well the rates for 'classic awards' system isn't changing, but its very likely that the number of seats available will decrease. The reason I (and possibly others here) believe there will be a massive devaluation is that the new 'product/tier) will provide more availability at much higher...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    I think it seems almost certain that it will be multi-tiered rewards similar to that of SQ KF, which in essence means a devaluation. QF FF doesn't release many premium seats as it is, and F is nearly impossible to get. This will mean that premium seats at the current classic rewards rates will...

    SQ First MEL Lounge, Private Room Menu and Suites

    Thanks for the review! You mentioned that you basically had a bed from 1 am to 7 am even though the lounge was closed from 2.30 - 5.30 am? I have a layover from midnight till 12pm soon (flying in F) - do you think I would be able to get a room with bed throughout the hours when the lounge is...

    Lounge Access twice in a Day

    Hi All, I land into Sydney Airport soon early in the morning from LHR (7am) and have a Virgin Australia flight to Melbourne at 6 pm on the same day on a different ticket. I have to go into Sydney for a couple of hours for a meeting before my MEL flight. Would I be allowed to use the VA...

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Where are you seeing the validity? Because with HH, this doesn't seem to be something easy to find. In any case, if you got HH Diamond now, it should be valid till end of March 2025.

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    Fair enough - keen to know how you get along. I've got till Jan to figure out what I'll need to do.

    Hilton Diamond through Velocity Platinum status

    I'm in a similar position. I will be Hilton Diamond till March 2024, but my VA platinum membership ends in Feb 2024, so not sure if this is an issue?

    Credit Card for non-residents

    Hi All, Not sure if this is the right place to post this thread or this has been discussed/asked. I'm an Australian living in the UK - are there any Aussie credit cards (with bonuses) at all I'm eligible to apply for? I have an Australian licence and Australian address. Cheers.

    QR MEL Check in Times

    I'd have to completely agree with you re CDG - without a doubt one of the very worst airports in the world.

    QR MEL Check in Times

    Nope it is 3.20pm departure I'm fairly sure - so 3hr 20min. Even though I checked in at basically 12pm on the dot, I didn't get into the lounge till 1pm. Baggage security at MEL is a mess and I have no idea when they plan to fix it. Priority lanes are 'open', but they just awkwardly put you in...

    Qatar upgrades

    It is the Marhaba lounge at MEL - I can confirm that for you. Regarding the lounges at DOH, I'm not certain, but I'm fairly sure @jase05 is correct. There is also a combined Plat+Gold Lounge near the C gates in DOH now which you can also use and this is probably better than the South Platinum...

    Melbourne International Airport 3D CT Scanners

    Hi All, Why does security at MEL (international) still require pax to take out liquids when they have new 3D CT scanners? At every other location I have used these scanners, including London City, LHR, FCO (Rome) and domestic terminals at MEL, literally NOTHING is required to come out of the...

    QR MEL Check in Times

    Not sure if you're still flying, I just took this flight yesterday and I can confirm the counter opens bang on 12pm - so only 3 hrs 20 mins. Just further on this as well, the staff isn't the most competent here either. Firstly, the check in agent wasn't sure if someone with an Australian...
