Thanks for the replies. I may have been thinking of the oneworld rules and just assumed they would apply here. Sounds like the QF/EK lounge access rules aren't quite so generous. Haven't travelled with the EK/QF partnership before.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a little surprised about no F lounge access in Melbourne as I thought the rule might allow it given we're connecting to First on the same day, same ticket. I've another points booking later this year for Mel-Syd (economy) - Sin (business). Does this mean I won't get...

Upcoming MEL - AKL QF J connecting to AKL-DXB EK F. Reward ticket. Can we: 1. Use QF F checkin in MEL 2. Use QF F lounge in MEL 3. Arrange a Chauffeur via EK in MEL And: 1. Is there any particular F lounge in AKL worth using Thanks

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hi all, this may have been asked before, but apologies, I cannot see in the thread. I've an itinerary confirmed (but yet to be ticketed) with Qantas which contains 18 individual sectors. Qantas have just called me and said...

Just wondering if Qantas are still allowing all-day check in for international flights? If so, is it just from Sydney or has it been extended to Melbourne as well? thanks.

Hi, looking to book a oneworld award from LHR-HEL in J. 2 options on the route, BA or AY. ITA Matrix seems to show no fuel surcharge on the BA ticket, and approx A$55 fuel charge on the AY ticket/flight. I always understood BA to have high fuel surcharges/taxes. Am I missing something - has BA...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I've nearly finalised my 280k trip later this year, just a few segments to add on airlines that haven't yet released award seats, so fingers crossed they do! Anyway, I'll have plenty of headroom in the mileage limit and...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Ah, so because the QF website won't allow changes to the tickets, there's no way of avoiding calling up each time and paying the fees and FF points (the last agent I spoke to said 3,500 points per person, plus $80 per...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hi, thanks to everyone on this thread for the great advice. I'm in the middle of arranging a J/280k trip for Xmas 2015 and have a leg to europe booked just before Christmas. Still trying to sort the intra Europe then back...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I've read in this thread that I can 'add' later sectors to an itinerary - i.e book the first flight, then when availability opens, book the second flight and so on... eventually it becomes a oneworld award (i.e. the...

I'm looking at booking a flight in Y, first leg is FlyDubai (with their flight no), second is Emirates (EK flight no). I'm currently QFF WP. From what I can see on the Emirates and FlyDubai websites, I'll have to collect a boarding pass for the EK flight once I get to Dubai, however the...

Thanks everyone for the info. Good to know I'll at least keep gold for another year. I still have a few months to maximise use of the F lounge! Any suggestions 're which airline is most likely to status match? The other alliances are all fine for getting me where I need to (europe) , but I...

I'm currently WP with Qantas and have been for a few years now. Looks unlikely that I'll earn much this year with them, possibly not even enough for a Gold status... And possibly not even get my 4 qualifying flights. (Most of my travel is with ow partners, so I'll prob switch after the recent...

Thanks for the replies. I've not placed the order yet, just wanted to confirm before I do that A. Apple Aust online issue gst receipts with an abn and that I'm not actuall purchasing from an overseas site disguised as Australian, and B. That the TRS works for internet purchases. Thanks!

Hi, has anyone purchased from the Apple Australia Online Store, then claimed a refund via TRS? I know the TRS just requires an Australian ABN on the tax invoice - am I right in assuming the Apple Aus online store is an Australian entity with an ABN? And is there any problems with buying online...
