This seems to suck significantly, as we can't book using the flight credits without having to call!

Supposedly they are coming back in 20??, so might want the A380 carts again at that stage.

Brief bump - I see Amex is offering a "Spend $100 get $20 back" offer for Rockpool group. Maybe not wanting everyone to change their habits too quickly when the points stop? :)

Looking at the newspapers today, looks like NP might be having to do a few backpays to his staff, and could use the Qantas income!

Nice diagram Happy Trails. And the airstairs take me back.... was it the 727 or DC9 that last had that here? :)

I've had several SMS with verification codes when I haven't accessed the website of been using the app. No points activity when I've checked the site. I wonder if AwardWallet is triggering this if trying to background update the points balance? Anyone else had these mystery SMS codes?

They used to have a sign for the Skip pick-up point - might not have been re-installed?

After reading and enjoying the back and forth on this thread, I Just had to add the data point that staffer with a Dyson vacuum is busy in the sydney J lounge right now. I’m sure it’s usual, but can’t help picturing them reading these threads out the back and resolving to clean harder!

I'm sure I've seen a Dyson come out in the Sydney lounge when it's not too busy. Maybe having the QC crowd in meant there wasn't a chance to clean as much as usually.

Looks like a good day out, but arranging BNE connections would be a bit more to consider. And have to suppress a twitch in the Frequent Flyer nerve at seeing the "No points or SC earn" conditions..... ;)
