    I caught the booking reference but that was it. What's PNR again?

    Qantas and Zip + DSC

    Morning all, Bit of an issue. Was booking flights last night in time for end of DSC deadline. Booked the bulk of them with my CC with no problems, and they all showed up in the QF app as confirmed bookings. However, for my final booking, I used Zip Pay. On the Zip app it's telling me that...

    When they're bad, they're infuriating

    Respectfully, no it doesn't sum it up. As per my introduction years ago when I joined, I have a rather debilitating skin disorder, disability, disease. Call it what you like. Sometimes I function fairly normally, and at other times, (when the inflammation gets out of control), I'm a mess, am...

    When they're bad, they're infuriating

    In my personal experience, QF have been pretty good to me over the years. On THU for example, security at MEL locked my carry on, despite me telling him not to as I didn't know the combo. He had to rummage thru my stuff for some reason. Customer Service bloke inside QP ran the bag over to intl...

    Receiving a lounge pass (QF)

    Question, according to Qantas, they say that Complimentary Lounge invitations may take up to 14 days to show up in your account . Is this realistic? What are your experiences regarding amt of time taken to receive lounge invites that are in your QFF account ready to link to a booking? TIA

    Powerbanks & chargers

    G'day. Just wondering, I'm aware aware that the limit for lithium ion powerbanks being carried onboard an aircraft in Australia is ~28,000 mAh at >140W. If I bring my 25000 mAh100W powerbank, plus a 20,000 mAh 45W bank, but I ensure that the latter is fully depleted, is that acceptable...

    I'm in the QF Lounge thread

    Is anyone going to to be in either MEL QF QP or J lounge this Thursday from ~11am onwards? I had a chat group going on fb with hundreds of people sharing passes etc, bit it literally just disappeared. Would be highly appreciative if anyone feels like guesting me :) QF 616 to BNE dep 1220 will...

    Straight swap from QF award flight to another?

    No, one is qantas direct MEL-LAX and my current is mel-nan qf then nan-lax with Fiji Airways. Booking was made on the qantas website though, for the EXACT same amount of points. The only option at the time on the Qantas award booking page was for me to take the ex Fiji flight if I wanted a J...

    Straight swap from QF award flight to another?

    Hey all, Got a question. So, I'm travelling to the USA in June, departing MEL and connecting at NAN, then flying through to LAX on Fiji Airways. At the time. This was the only reward booking I could find for required dates. Flight arrives into LAXat 1255PM, which is an absurd time, considering...

    Is this doable ?

    But at least you are there. I have a separate Question. There is a reward flight for the day before I'm due to leave on QF. That MEL-LAX flight arrives at 1830, and would allow plenty of time for tfr to a red eye to PHL,BOS,JFK etc. Would jump on a plane to buf the following morning. Will I...

    Is this doable ?

    Hey all, Have a question for you to try and figure out if this is doable, or too risky. So, I'm travelling to the USA in June, departing MEL and connecting at NAN, then flying through to LAX on Fiji Airways. At the time. This was the only reward booking I could find for required dates. The...

    Fiji Airways to LAX?

    Right, I've got a bit of a query regarding the arrival time of this Fiji airways flight FJ810 NAN-LAX (Flight I booked this morning). It arrives at 1255PM. Strange. I need to make it to BUF, and a 1255 arrival doesn't make for a timely tfr at LAX (from TBIT to T3 - AA) for example. Last year I...

    Fiji Airways to LAX?

    Well Done! Unfortunately this was the only award flight from MEL-LAX from mid June, which is when I need to depart. I'm wondering which seat I should go with from NAN-LAX? I've caught 2 or 3 ultra stunning views of sprawling LA on arrival sitting on the left side of the aircraft. I usually...
