    $360k Super contribution

    I have no idea on the answer but I never thought about earning Qantas points on super contributions! Following this as I make super contributions too.

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I travel regularly on fairly tight schedules and always prefer the most direct option over a stop. I personally haven’t done PER > LHR as my home port is SYD and I prefer the a380 experience but I am looking forward to project sunrise. Having to be woken up/ disrupted mid journey for landing and...

    No alcohol for QF87 dinner service

    I’ve certainly had alcohol during the second meal service on this flight. I remember making a particular note to do so because it’s a rare double “dinner” (not breakfast) flight (compared to the usual breakfast/ dinner that most flights end up doing). Side note, it’s going to be a shame when...

    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 April 2024

    I am on this plan too. The unlimited roaming is really good and the only reason I am still on it. I do suspect they will do something about trying to get us off it/ increase the price soon enough.

    Sydney airport Baggage system outage

    Looks like the notice is still in the app today. Can someone who goes through today confirm if it is still down. Will be going through tomorrow and this will affect my flow forward plans (if activated).

    Baggage interline - separate PNRs - QF award flight on AA metal to QF award flight on QF metal

    A question I have failed to get an answer to all this time, is there any way to get an award ticket and a commercial ticket on the same PNR? All the wording from the airlines always say "just book it all on the one PNR" as if it is really easy. When to my knowledge this is impossible if trying...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    So I have a classic award seat on QF1 SYD > LHR and was considering changing the flight by a day (but not availability). Received the involuntary schedule change email today by 20 minutes, however it says it will be automatically reticketed and I don’t have to do anything. There is no option to...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Judging by the comments in this thread, maybe I am alone with the experiences I have had. I have only flown Finnair a330 J once and the experience was good. My poor experiences have been in Y and mildly poor in PE. I would agree QF a330s are very tired and the Finnair a330s are certainly better...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Oh god please no. Thailand and Singapore are already my most frequent destinations so I have to take the finnair services regularly. I can’t do it on even more routes. Yes in “some” aspects its better than Qantas but in many it takes the worst aspects of Qantas and Finnair and puts it on one...

    EK Lounge General Discussion

    I can’t seem to find any information reported on this (maybe it was obvious and I missed it). It appears the emirates lounge in BKK is permanently closed. I was only here a couple months ago and it was fine. All the signs for the lounge are blacked out across the airport and the lounge is...

    Alaska Airlines no longer shows any Qantas award availability

    If this isn’t an IT issue QF really need to start working on their issues with other airlines. First we had QR effectively remove (almost) all availability for QFF, I feel like another airline has played games with QF reward seats too, but who that is/ was escapes me at this time? And now...

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    This year I have flown J between SYD and HND, ICN, SIN, YVR and had 0 hot towels. For further details, I only started flying QF post covid and have never received a hot towel on QF ever. SQ on the other hand even do (did?) in PE

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    To follow up I returned on 296 BKK > SYD in Y. Almost identical experience but with drink + snack service after take off. Main meal, snack, breakfast. 0 platinum recognition again. The meal service including plate collection took 3.5 hours until the plate was cleared and almost 4 hours until...

    I think I lucked the holy grail….

    As a seasoned QF Platinum FF and a very diligent FF points user. I have never been able to score a EK F from Aus to London. I’ve never even travelled EK. So it certainly isn’t “nothing”. Good job and enjoy the trip. Not sure how many points you have, but I recommend a reward seat (in any class...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    I flew QF295 (Syd > Bkk) earlier this week in Y and actually had a very different experience. The boarding gate was a normal airbridge gate and staff actively policed the business class line/ priority boarding. Even rejecting non premium passengers who made it to the scanner. Once on board...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I got F in QF2 31/07/25 released 🙌 (Platinum) Unfortunately QF1 every date I wanted was declined in all premium classes. Economy was available, so took that and will try for an upgrade.

    Qantas International Schedule changes

    I hate how Qantas leans on jetstar like it’s part of the same airline (yes they own both, but as a passenger it’s a very different experience). Calling this a positive move that now jetstar is daily to “allow” Qantas to redeploy its aircraft. No, Qantas are leaving a route, jetstar isn’t a...

    New Amex statement credits

    Like all offers.. not like the good days. At least its better than last year but $10 off hardly makes a dent on the purchase. Hopefully the retailers have some good in-store deals too which usually helps.

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Aren’t cabin crew rotated through routes (at least with the same aircraft type)? I thought each day they arrive at the airport they could be rostered to go virtually anywhere. So the QF crew could be BKK today, HND tomorrow. But yes I also got yelled at twice in J once because I couldn’t...
