    Bonus points after lost baggage?

    That must be it, thanks!. Alright I will just take these 20,000 points with a smile and see if the car seat is able to eventually reconnect with us.

    Bonus points after lost baggage?

    So I've travelled with my family (2 adults 1 kid) to BNE early this month during school holiday, and on the way up we had a half hour delay plus the car seat was lost (or delayed?). Reported to the baggage service at BNE, and up until now (exactly 21 days past) the status is still showing not...

    When to arrive at the airport (MEL) for SQ flight?

    This is a question not really related, but why laminated vaccine cert? Won't a plain printed A4 paper work (with a few spare photocopies in the bag)?

    Hilton Brisbane vs Sofitel Brisbane Central

    I have an 2 nights stay in Brisbane this coming weekend, and I have booking with both at the moment (need to cancel one). First time travel into BNE city so mainly as a tourist for a few days. Both are central so locations wise not much difference. I’m a diamond with Hilton and an Accor plus...

    China - what is actually the reality there?

    I'm from Wuhan and migrated to Australia for 10+ years, and travel regularly to China. Early Jan I transited back to MEL via CAN from DXB, so didn't get a chance to feel what's happening in my home city. My parents are here in MEL as well, so again no first hand information. However, we do keep...

    Award booking one middle sector change/cancel?

To fully enjoy the trip, the whole route is a bit fun which consists QF MEL-LAX (stay LAX) JL LAX-NRT-TPE (stay TPE) CI TPE-MEL The booking was made before coronavirus became a thing, and now thanks to...

    Contact Centre Madness = Unnacceptable

    Everyone here is either a WP or SG, so for non-status passengers who'd love to get some help from Qantas from the call centre, the wait would be 24 hours minimum, I guess...... It's just simply ridiculous for an airline to provider service in such a terrible manner. Plus you know what, some...

    Qantas cancels Beijing flights from March 2020

    On my few experiences flying between SYD and PVG on QF economy, there are but only a couple or so, probably one in each section of economy cabin. I didn't really pay much attention since I can talk in English, but for other travellers, who can't speak English at all, it's gonna be hard to wait...

    Qantas cancels Beijing flights from March 2020

    Not really surprising. Even I am a Qantas Gold for many years, as a Chinese, based in MEL, I prefer fly to China using China Easter business class, or China Southern Economy class. The lack of Chinese speaking flight attendants, and lack of authentic Chinese food options make Qantas a really bad...

    CBA World Debit Mastercard invitation

    Saw the same thing this morning when I logged into CBA Netbank. As already mentioned above, the best thing about this card is the free international transaction fee. I've already got a diamond card with CBA thru my mortgage so not really interested in the travel insurance, and the lounge access...

    Adding a return award flight to a one way booking

    Yes, I have the same thought always, until the agent started to tell me there is no way the 8000 points service fee can be waived. But after a few mins, he told me it will be waived because of its business class booking. Yes, my original post is Tax & other charges with QF award flight on EK vs...

    Tax & other charges with QF award flight on EK vs CX from DXB

    Another update from myself, I chatted to QF online support, and managed to add the return leg by updating the existing booking. It costs only 5k points for the change fee per head (8k points fee waived because booking business class) plus cash of approx $130. Lesson learnt today is always...

    Adding a return award flight to a one way booking

    OK here is an update of what happened today after online chat with QF support. Basically I am able to add the return leg plus 5000 points for the change fee. I was quoted initially with another 8000 points per head for a service fee, but upon knowing the flight is a business class, the agent...

    Adding a return award flight to a one way booking

    Hey @renatts, I am in the same position at the moment, and wonder if you had a success in changing this from one way to return?

    Tax & other charges with QF award flight on EK vs CX from DXB

    Now I looked at it again, if I had booked the flight as a return instead of two one-way tickets, the tax would be significantly cheaper (about $250 for one person for 2 flights). This is really making me sad, should I just cancel my original booking and rebook the whole flights as return again...

    Tax & other charges with QF award flight on EK vs CX from DXB

    OK, so I might have to go with CX, not that I don't like CX, but travelling with a 3-year old toddler with reverse herringbone seats is never my preference. I'd actually love the 2-3-2 EK 777, which most people trying to avoid.

    Tax & other charges with QF award flight on EK vs CX from DXB

    Was about to make a booking from DXB - HKG using QF points for 2 Adults and 1 kid of the coming new year. Plenty of availability so on that front all is good. However, just found out there are huge differences between tax and other carrier charges between booking with EK or CX. With EK, it is...
