Only 9 days left for this offer - this is the one card I have retained while churning others for over 10 years thanks to the great points earn and QF flight credit. Throwing my referral link into the ring: Great offer for my friends and family!

Flying Sydney - Nadi with my Partner & Mother in law tomorrow morning and as Platinum can only guest 1 of them into the Sydney F lounge... 😱 if anyone happens to be in the F lounge early tommorow (Friday 29 April between 5.30am - 7.30am) and has a spare guest spot would be super appreciative!

Thanks for confirming mate! Good to know for sure!

Just wondering if anyone can confirm this info from personal experience? Curious if they actually start setting up the counters earlier so they are ready to go at least 3 hours out. Flying Q Suites this week for the first time and want to maximize 🥂 time in the First lounge 😁

Hi KSC - Happy New Year to you! Such a kind gesture! I am just looking at blacklane for a trip to NYC in Feb so would be very grateful for 2 if possible!

Only a small correction, but I flew on VH-EBS on Monday and can confirm it received cloth covers on the J Suite when it converted to International, which is much more comfortable in longer sectors!

It appeared as though Concorde didn't have a horizontal stabiliser. Assume this was due to her unique wing? Is she the only passenger jet to date without one?

So woke up this morning and checked FlightAware only to find OEB was halfway to Tokyo! VH-OJU has stepped in to take us to Avalon - am guessing she was the one meant to go to Tokyo last night and had an issue that caused the sub! Just taxiing for take off now after a great breakfast in the...

Booked today and can’t wait!! Perfect avgeeks day out!! PS although the booking engine indicates it’s an upgradeable fate type, when I went to put in an upgrade request it has a message that no higher travel class available :( maybe J will be full of invited guests or they will auction off the...

Had a change notification on an existing booking for June so did a little searching and it looks like Qantas are upgrading Sydney - Bali from a 737 to A330-200 from 31 March. Seems to remain A330 right through to 26 October. Haven't seen any news of this change online yet so curious where the...

Just thought I'd share some of the phone only deals currently available.

Can confirm it does not have personal air vents in J! I have just done 2 sectors on it in J and can't say I was at all impressed. I just don't get why airlines don't think personal air vents matter - they can make such s huge difference to comfort! Also don't think the seat holds a candle to...

CBA Diamond Amex has no forex fees and gives 1.2 QF points per $ on foreign spend - great card to have solely for this purpose (not worth using at home).

Well excited to report that we have confirmed a full day private tour with La Vigne du Roy taking in a Dom Perignon experience, visit to Hautvillers, lunch as well as tastings at 3 smaller champagne houses! Really starting to get excited now!! We have also booked in tastings at Taittinger and...

In addition to being Uber excited about our upcoming first ever trip to the Champagne region, on the same trip this April we will also be spending a few days in Paris for the first time and a day trip to Versailles is high on the 'to do' list! Like in Champagne I am looking for a really good...
