Overseas based members, such as myself, have exactly the same rights as Australian or NZ based members. We are all governed by the same T&Cs which IIRC operate under NSW law.[/b]

No one that I can see above. Question remains - were you offered the job?

From the QF website Forms of Identification If you have an e-ticket and are travelling domestically within Australia (flights QF400 and above), you are required to produce photographic identification at check in. If you do not have any form of photographic identification contact...

If you are considering relying on a CC policy check the definitions and the coverage. "Trip" is usually quite interesting - I doubt it covers a taxi fare in your home town. Also make sure you read any flyers that are mailed with your statement - they may make changes to the coverage at anytime...

David QF make something like 80% of its flying business's operating profits from the SYD-MEL, SYD-LAX & SYD-LHR routes. Accepting that and assuming that all routes are contributing to overheads on the basis of ASK's (Available Seat Kilometres) then their must be many routes that are marginal...

Did you ever post anywhere a trip report on the Mt Hagen Show/Festival?

They were award flights. :wink: The QC T&C's now read "flying on Qantas or Qantaslink".

Ozstamps, what thedocta says above is CORRECT. International - the <24hour rule applies - this includes Dom-Int and VV Domestic - if travel is not scheduled to recommence on the same calender day a stopover is incurred. See QFF T&C's 10.4.5(c)(v)(d) [/b]

Generally speaking the most value efficient way of using points is to upgrade. Then follows awards that are booked in F or J. You can only use QFF points to upgrade QF flights. If using your points to get a either 2 Y awards or one J or F award you might want to investigate QF's one world...

Whilst Thedocta is in SW19 calling "out" & "fault" with those fancy arm signals here is a lead http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum39/HTML/001222.html I am sure Dave will have the original post by Kawoh where he went and deleted all his posts.

In the T&C's it states that points and SC's will only be given for flights actually flown. This has no relationship to whether you are on a refundable fare or not. You have to fly to get points & SC's for flying.

Still down on Thurs 8th at 17:30 EST

The QF points for any QF flight usually post very soon (probably instantaneously) after the flight is 'closed' from an operational point of view. I am not sure of when this is but it is sometime after 'door closed' and before 'door open' at destination.

NO QF Club entry either when travelling on staff tickets (non revenue or sub load is the QF term I think) unless you happen to be Platinum and then you have right to roam in QF Clubs.

Another quirky Travel Insurance story - my Mother in law had a fall and broke her false teeth. When reading the fineprint of her particular policy I discovered that dentures fall under the optical cover - strange one but covered all but $50 and the excess of the policy. Moral - if you...
