    Cancelled Sector on Award Booking

    Hi all, looking for a bit of advice as normally don't deal with QF. I have a flight booked MSY - ORD - BNE - PER. Unfortunately the MSY - ORD has been cancelled by AA and I have been rebooked on another AA flight, which only leaves me with just over half an hour layover in ORD. It does meet MCT...

    First/business classic award release for Bronze FF

    With all my travel in premium cabins points only, and not enough paid flights, I'm also a NB. The only reason I collect QF points is for domestic only. Also being based in Perth, much easier to fly SQ around the world and get reward seats. Even looking at CX these days, I used to be able to get...

    Business class babies

    This thread reminds me of a red eye flight once with my children (aged 3 and 1, in J), and the lady behind us was laughing so much at a movie it was keeping my children awake! No one seemed to have a problem with her, except us,but I wonder what the reaction would have been if the situation was...

    Plastic bag ban...... meaningful initiative or just a feel good stunt?

    As a liquor retailer over here in WA, I have seen a big change. We would be getting customers coming in and asking for a double bag for just one bottle of wine. In the first month I would say that plastic bag use coming from our store has halved, and can see this trend continuing. If there is...

    Inconsistencies in airport security around the world

    I also had this, but in Perth. The only problem was I was the only one in the line before security, my wife snuck through before me, and the lady told me to wait until there were two more people to swab. Took another couple of minutes until some more people came through, did the swab and let us...

    Using QF points for AS

    Hi All, Can you use QF points to secure any AS flights. I can see availability for a flight that I want on the AS website using their points, but it isn't showing up on the QF website. As i'm only a NB, I don't want to call up and be on hold for who knows how long only to be told no. Cheers in...

    Qantas - Sorry But I Am Over You

    I just asked my 3yo if she knew who her parents are. Nope didn't understand the word, but knew who Mum and Dad are. You would think that staff would be able to use discretion and be smart enough to read the situation to use the appropriate language.

    Air New Zealand downgrading us for a leg

    Has anybody flown on the hi fly A340 yet? I'm flying PER-AKL in Y next week and was just wondering what to expect.

    Qantas Domestic Business Lounge Access Under 18

    More than likely the liquor licence the lounge would be operating under would be along the lines of a Tavern licence, hence the need of a minor to be accompanied.

    Last minute domestic award space

    Just read this thread and thankyou. Just double checked on a flight I was booked on, Per-Mel, T-40 and a business reward was available, which wasn't when I booked the flight about a month ago. Cancelled my Y and rebooked! Thanks again AFF.

    Suites savers now available

    I was very surprised I got them. I was booked in J for the same flight as the savers were initially sold out. I logged back in only a week ago (10 days before the flight) and thought I would check, and they had appeared as waitlist and thought what the hell may as well try. Only 48 hours later...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Recently read somewhere that you can let SQ know if your flight is for a special occasion and they may organise you a cake or something "special". I have a couple of J award seats booked through velocity for my wife and I's 10 year wedding anniversary to CDG. Do they do this for Velocity...
