AFR article now effectively confirming the rumoured changes: https://www.afr.com/companies/transport/qantas-closes-in-on-biggest-revamp-of-frequent-flyer-program-yet-20240313-p5fc0o

Qantas points can be easily acquired for 1c/point (or less). Qantas holds the value of unredeemed points on its balance sheet at <1c/point (~0.7c last time I checked). They are never going to release so much premium seat inventory that the redemption value of Qantas points goes above those...

Hi Mickey, I've recently flown a number of QF marketed EK F and J flights so can help here. Basically all you lose out on is a chauffeur transfer and free Wifi access if you are a Skywards member. Lounge access is based on class of travel, or on status, so no change QF vs EK. You can purchase a...

I was surprised to read this - thank you for sharing. My data point is that I emailed the new address 3 weeks ago, and this was my exact situation. I agreed to a flight change for a QF booking on a partner airline, and the revised e-ticket has "not come through in a prompt manner." 3 weeks on...

I have not, and haven't heard of anybody else receiving a response either. The jury is still out on the thread title claim of the issues being fixed

Well done to the AFF team on this work and a very interesting article. I have emailed that address after checking and seeing that a booking I made is not ticketed correctly, will report back with any progress.

Qantas values unredeemed points on their balance sheet at 0.7c per point - this is freely and publicly available in their annual report and other releases. I find it amazing that people think Qantas will make it easy for them to redeem their points at many multiples of that value on business...

What did they claim were direct costs and what were consequential? I assume the flight costs (which you say were 3x) were accepted as direct? However nothing else was?

I made several unsuccessful attempts to offset flights after booking, and never got a green leaf. This week I booked a classic flight reward, paid for the offset in cash, and received the green leaf a couple of days later. Tragically my flight plans have changed and I will have to cancel the...

Thanks for posting this one Tommo, was able to pick up a few bottles at what I felt were very good prices. Louis Roederer NV at $54 and Bollinger at $58 with the discounts. Unfortunately Veuve Clicquot Vintage wasn't available in my area

Has this wine been identified? I have had my best crack at attempting to determine it but so far unsuccessfully. A guess is Balnaves the Tally which scored 94 points from Halliday for the 2010 vintage and is from Coonawarra. I also found a Di Giorgio Cabernet Sauvignon that won a blue-gold medal...

The Epsilon that is being discussed is here: https://vinomofo.com/wines/red-wine/epsilon-barossa-valley-tempranillo-2014

I am too, bought some from MyCellars and most were a real hit at their ~$10 price

Follow these steps: https://help.getadblock.com/support/solutions/articles/6000082125-a-website-is-telling-me-to-disable-adblock-before-it-will-show-content Took a couple of minutes and the AFF site has gone from completely unusable to working fine again

Here's another Dans 6 pack which I haven't seen mentioned yet. Not as high level as the all-reds pack that has been mentioned: the 2010 Grey Label, the Chris Ringland and the Yering Chardonnay are all solid wines and then there are 3 fillers...
