An interesting question. Just yesterday someone at work raised the fact that I've routed via Sydney on the outbound for an upcoming trip via Perth to Paris so I can visit the first lounge. Fair point, for a nice lunch is it worth the extra flight and the waste of my time? I could balance that...

my bad tl;dr

Just checked my email and this offer also includes double qantas business rewards points. Might have been nice to include that detail here. Registering for the double business rewards points also then put the business into the draw for 1 million points.

🤔 😂 Third party global systems that do not understand timezones. ok then (actually, this is precisely my point. These are global systems, it is illogical to suggest they can't do timezones) Maybe it's just you, 'cause I had no such problems in 2017, 2018 or ever.

A question for both of you: Do you understand how timezones work? Do you think that Qantas, an international airline, does not understand how timezones work? Are you seriously suggesting that Sabre, Amadeus and the other one have developed these systems used by 100s of airlines and they do not...

There is a weird school of thought around here that somehow Qantas set up the start time based on midnight UTC (not Midnight Sydney) but some how manage to set the end time based on Sydney and not UTC. It defines logic. But sure play it safe. For example: Really? so I can book flight based on...

Having got PC+ this year, I've come to realise it's worse than PC for me. I'm LTG and Platinum. The two lounge passes are more valuable to me for gifting to family than qantas club membership that cannot be used.

Always pays to get on top of VA's cough. Had my daughter's bag come out opened on arrival last year. This was departing Sydney. Went to baggage services to query. Superficial everything seemed to be there. the baggage services didn't say anything about submitting an incident report. Got home to...

I would've thought more like 4-5 mm for strength and rigidity per divider, 2 -3 per locker more likely 3. there are maybe about 10 lockers per side on a 737, so upto about 300 mm of divider per plane? One Bag? I'm really not sure what this would gain. we now have 3 or 4 sections per locker to be...

I wanted to pick up on the last point in the email. Don't Qantas already have free checked luggage on all fares? So what is the benefit of free check in at gate? Are they wanting to charge for checked luggage? That would take a heap of overhead space in total across the whole aircraft. Also...

Cheers I forgot the exact days. Yeah, Woomera is pretty much dead. Hard to believe they had something like 18 footy teams at one stage. I reckon the town opens up more in the cool months. I was there for a week or so doing work in 2023. That was around September/October and the flies had started...

The OLP footy club was pretty good last time I was there. I heard the Roxby Club went bust, but might have re-opened. The Tavern has ups and downs but is usually pretty good. I've heard the Tuckerbox at Andamooka closed (burnt). The Eldo at Woomera has been done up a bit, and is pretty good...

hmm Qantas has a partnership with Uber. Bet the contract says they must refer to Uber... der...

Pretty common overseas I don't think I have had a bus departure from DOH, but a bus on arrival in DOH is common. In fact I'd say I don't think I've had a gate arrival in DOH (maybe 1) Looked to be busses this week in Sydney on the interational side. A Finnair aircraft in the qantas freight area...

Well, yes, they've clearly added as much as they can to get a magic number. I think it might be a bit more complex, in practice I suspect they're including premium economy. So that's ~3500 seats in the entire international fleet, not including 737s. There are 22 Tasman and Pacific routes from...

I see a few comments about the 20% increase in classic awards. The email I got also mentions an increase in popints earn in the air. It does say up to 25% for domestic flights but then lists an example of SYD-LAX... huh? Domestic? Thats a bit of an offset with increased earning. $4000 co-pay on...

Oh, great thought process. Based on my numbers oist up thread lifetime plat would cost me $676000. I really should do the numbers on the next 6555 status that I've earned... Stopped tracking after LT gold, figured LT plat was unattainable.

MY work funded travel is funded BY ME. Many, many, many of my colleagues are EXACTLY the same - funding their work travel by themselves. This is how small business works. - NB I pay for my ACN EVERY year Please stop making assumptions.

Ok seems that you're not really getting the point. A $200 fare difference is NORMAL. Usually much more of a difference.A trip I have in the planning Sydney Adelaide 9 January at a decent hour. VA Flex $259, QF Flex $709 - more than double. VA business - $660 QF business $1359. In ten months...

Going back to you earlier post. I'd say someone that chooses to fly qantas for their one #10K business trip EVERY year is showing loyalty. Cost of lift time status is interesting. It cost me, on JQ QF and other one world carriers, $39000 to go from 1846 status credits to QF lifetime silver...
