Speaking from recent experience where I needed ~140 SC's out of MEL... Anything out of CBR in J is worth a look, must be outside of Parliamentary sitting weeks though! I also incorporated a JQ JetFlex into my SC run which was pretty good value. Also CBR-ADL via SYD in J is ~$700 for 100 SC's...

I've been tossing up getting ticket's so this could be a go. Does anyone know anything about the Webber stand? I don't recall it from past races. The QF Hub just seems to be a slightly closed door catering tent, no? Finally, I can't help but wonder how fast the 'fast track' will be at gates 1 &...

Interesting thread. I definately agree. My one and only op-up came last year in my last earning period, which ended last week :(. I got Y to Y+ LHR-HKG-MEL, standard you may think, however as an NB I was quite surprised. I had been away on uni exchange for a year in UK and done some...

Hi, Until now all of my earning has been done on direct sectors - Mel-Syd, Mel-Lon, Mel- Sin etc. etc. Now I'm doing a bit of indirect flying and earning: Mel-Canb via Syd. So because I'm fairly new to this I am wondering whether I will earn points for Mel-Canb (as that is how the flights were...

I agree with everything said here. I also add that midweek flights especially at the peak morning and evening times are understandably more hectic in J with many more platinum/emerald not to mention chairman's lounge pax flying, while not often acknowledged publicly such members will often...

...meanwhile back on topic:D;) Yeah was about to say...you pay an initial joing fee and then the renewal fee is much less and the more years you join for the less you pay and can be paid out of FFP...would pay to check though as this may ave hcnaged with the new QF FFP;):cool:.

I was in the there (MEL) wed morning, thurs midday and evening (delays) and friday evening and quite liked it. I didnt find the food to be anything special or a world different from that of QP same goes for the service aswell - it wasn't bad just no different from the QP. The fact that it is a...

Hey everyone, In my experience as a QP member and regular all the factors stated below can play a role. However in my experience it most often comes down to just how full the club is, what time your flying and also what level FF you are, silver will help your chances - anything less (trying...

Happy Dude, Welcome to Jetspotter.com then go to the forums section and then to melbourne. As for 722 at YMML, the only ones there now are those of Australian Air Express that do, as serfty said, maninly YMML to YPPY and occasionally Brisbane, Darwin and Tasmania - but they now use their 737F...

Agree with everything said. The QF J lounge is fairly aged with some updates and fairly limited business facilities. I too have found it quite crowded at almost all times and unlike even domestic QF lounges there really isn't anywhere to get a bit of quite time to chillout and relax. Food and...

Hey all, New here and its a great forum:cool: Secondly, im travelling to YSSY next week and its been a while since ive had to commute to the city from the airport - i usually only transfer flights there. Anyway can anyone recommend a hire car/chauffeur/limosuine service that is quality...
