I am travelling to the US for a number of months and want a decent travel insurance policy that doesn't cost the earth. Any advise post COIVD? Cheers

Hi. Does anyone know if the travel insurance you get with a platinum Qantas credit card is valid if you buy award tickets and pay for the extra with your platinum card? Cheers

Sounds like neither AirNZ or QF have got their cough together with this one.. would be good if both actually sent an email to all lounges informing them of this.. But that would be hard work!

What is interesting is that the system is not allowing QF into the lounges, which says to me this is an Air New Zealand system failure.... so why is QF not chasing this up?

Am following this up with interest with Qantas!

Well, an interesting development. Just got a reply from Qantas and they state “With our codeshare agreement with Air New Zealand, they have only agreed for our Platinum members to gain access in to their lounges.” So there it is, not sure if air New Zealand gold gets lounge access in Aussie or...

Yep, flew domestic within NZ then transferred at Christchurch to Qantas for flight to Melbourne. All purchased thru Qantas with QF codeshare flight number. I’ll send a query to AirNZ and Qantas for clarification. Cheers all!

When the codeshare arrangement was released to the media in ausBT mag, lounge access was supposed to be part of the arrangement for both QF and AirNZ gold and above in their respective countries...

Even the staff were saying they were surprised Qantas Gold etc weren’t admitted when it was first introduced.. and they read through all the rules just to make sure..

Invercargill of all places... decent koru lounge, never really busy..

Yep, which is why I questioned the ground staff.. they looked in to it when the code share arrangement started and were surprised qantas members didn’t get lounge access in Koru lounges, just thru ticketing arrangements..

Sorry, meant QF gold.. lol. Interestingly enough I took a regional flight today ticketed with a QF number and on to a trans Tasman flight and it was a big ‘denied’ to Air New Zealand lounge access... from both ground staff and electronically..

Hi. I am interested in the newish codeshare between Air New Zealand and Qantas. Does anyone know if QA gold gets reciprocal access to koru lounges in New Zealand when flying Qantas codeshare flights as part of a connecting flight to an Australian destination? AusBT was reporting last year we had...

Interesting the takes on QF 1st and business.. Have flown QF business A330 and and the 787, I found it to be comfortable without being over the top (both new suites). Emirates business was less private, the 2-2-2 setup wasn't the best for access to the window seat, but they still had the...

The only reason I say forget PGR is that for stays in Rydges, there seems to be a concerted effort to ignore GHA black and go with PGR instead. I have found that with a few Rydges now and the last one specifically said they could only see PGR status and that it pretty much didn't matter about...
