Lol. That’s me. I’ll give myself a slapping. And apply for a VA-earning card.

You know what, I am one disappointment away from doing this. But for me I choose Qantas for their safety record so the $RRP whilst painful would become somewhat irrelevant in a mid air issue. But, as you have pointed out loyalty and status means nothing and flying J on BFOD will give me the...

Good call and one I wasn’t aware of. The e-ticket received was actually an itinerary receipt and does not have the actual ticket number or costs populated. The last one had all that gaff. Rookie mistake learned. Made me check my own current OWA deets and it is an e-ticket itinerary and receipt...

All calls are to HBA. I try not to deal with any other call centre. The schedule change (was actually of AY doing I put that as QF incorrectly) was dissed as 'too bad', and I was welcomed to look for another reward seat. This particular agent was known to the many others I spoke to as being...

I really had to share this, even though all I'm doing is wasting airwave space. Received an email from QF Customer 'care' this morning, responding to a complaint lodged and apologising for 2 rewards flights being cancelled, after they had already cancelled one other leg of this same trip...

Is early check in available with luggage? We'll be there in June for QF12 and need to plan my day.

Did you find anything that suits? I'm starting to research for next year

O M G. You are the the real Insider....

I was the same. Bronze for years but still managed to get J RTW seats for about 2 or 3 trips over 4 years, albeit basically not on a QF plane and well before The Vid. I made my points by credit cards and chasing every point possible. It can be done, but you need to spend hours researching...

all this for 578,400 points and $2,128.04 cash. You can put your CR+ right where the Irish sun don't shine

In what mindset would you have any thoughts that CR+ is 'good'? Hugely higher points cost which is only good for people with a lot of points, and even then, someone with that many points to burn would be plain stoopid to think that using triple the points to get to their destination would be...

I saw QF11/12 and AA LAX/LHR legs. I'd probably take that combo if I had a need to be in the UK then. Which I don't.

Seems to be more AA reward seats available at the moment. Searching SYD-LHR return Jan-Feb 2025 has some good J seats going.

Got there last week at 9.45am. Breakfast about finished, not appealing. Coffee machine broke so went to main lounge for coffee and they had the same food. Lunch menu of pork stew slop with couscous and the NZ-tradition of minestrone soup. Soft cheese slabs all stuck together and some salads...

Is there a comparison on Award programs on here? I am considering loosing QF as an airline but wonder if the alternates are much better. As a bronze, I think we managed more J flights more direct into Europe 5+ years ago. Now as a Platinum I am on a flight next month which is syd-hnd (qf) -x-...

Mine have both been about 15 minutes. Not complaining, a 15 minute massage is better than none.

0815 arrival for a 1320 flight and got a spa spot at 1100 the week before Easter. Happy days, in between the Dallas flight and QF1.

Based on my current experience with QF staff cancelling a CR leg then being told to find my own alternatives, which I did, to now have 2 legs just disappear from all airlines MMB on the same booking, I think anything Qantas do won’t make me stay with them. Currently WP, can’t get seats on...

Thanks. Didn’t want her to lob and be embarrassed if the allowance for J was not for awards. QF is miserable about most other things, half expected this to be one such area.

I can’t find a yay or nay on this. My sister is on a J reward Syd-Akl. Can she guest her bestie flying in Y on same flight into the Sydney J lounge? Or does the bestie need a lounge pass gifted? QF are a bit vague on rewards flights eligibility.
