    Priority Pass - Change to exclude restaurants

    I've been using this feature of PP card in both Melbourne and Sydney airport numerous times now. It's particularly great when traveling with young toddlers and families we can all (2 cards + 4 guests) dine at a restaurant without paying a cent (well guess I paid the platinum card fee..).

    Changing seats with another passenger from different class.

    I did this once with my wife while we flew back from Hawaii on a QF flight. We booked economy with separate tickets, and I was able to secure an upgrade before the flight. We checked in normal, and only when entering the aircraft, I let the attendant know that even though my name is on the J...

    How to make enemies...! [by weighing carry-on]

    Sometimes I need to travel with 2 laptops - a 15inch macbook pro and a 13inch macbook pro. The 2 laptops plus a backpack won't leave much room for more carry-ons. Does Qantas consider the weight of laptops included as the 7kg limit or not?

    Does any JQ flight counts as QF 4 eligible flights?

    Thanks all for the help, guess bundle it is then. Not flying domestic flight frequently, but I still remember like a few years ago, MEL - SYD flight usually at $99, and only those expensive ones will reach like $129 or so. But these days, seems like everything is doubled or even more... You can...

    Does any JQ flight counts as QF 4 eligible flights?

    Hello all, I have a question regarding the '4 eligible flights' to retain QF status. Basically I had flew with QF 3 times now, and my status credit will be more than enough for Gold for another year. However, I am 1 flight short of the minimum 4 requirements. Have an upcoming trip that I need...

    Another one bites the dust, Amex dumped by CBA

    I have CBA credit card free with my home loan as well. Apart from the overseas transactions on AMEX, I do use the MasterCard quite often when Amex is not accepted (which is a lot of places, unfortunately, in Australia). I don't really want to have another Master card simply for the points but...

    Redemptions to Easter Island?

    I booked Easter Island flight a couple months ago for this coming April, and if your dates are right, the fare can be quite cheap if you book via their Chilean site. For a business class return between SCL and IPC, I paid about $700 USD, and this will earn you good Status Credits on QF.

    QF Silver to Gold with Points

    Well, basically the things I value most for my gold benefits is all the 'priorities'. I fly economy half of the times and most of my travel are interantioanl, so priroity check in and boarding is a major benefit to me.

    QF Silver to Gold with Points

    One thing i am curious to know is, did you just call their number and they offer you this points option? or like others reported here that you got an email? I'm in a very similar situation but my expiry is end of Feb. I am nowhere close to retain gold this year, but have quite a few coming trips...

    Where to transfer my AMEX points? VA vs SQ vs CX

    Thanks for everyone's help, I eventually converted all points to SQ. Did a few dummy bookings for the coming months, couldn't find any availability on CX, while there are a large number of seats on SQ. I am aware of the points requirement on SQ is higher than CX, particularly in a few days...

    Where to transfer my AMEX points? VA vs SQ vs CX

    Thanks, that was my strategy until now I have to close this account to free up some credit for a home loan. And it's a Amex Explorer card, so it's 4:3 to most of the airlines. In terms of availability, do you know which one is better CX vs SQ?

    Where to transfer my AMEX points? VA vs SQ vs CX

    Any other benefits of transferring to SPG apart from the obvious booking hotels with them? I am HH diamond, and usually stick with HH. Edit: did some quick research, it appears I can harbour all my points to SPG, and then later transfer out to airline programs if needed. Not sure if there is...

    Where to transfer my AMEX points? VA vs SQ vs CX

    I took the AMEX explorer card offer last year and got about 110,000 points under this account. Due to some reason, I will need to close this account, so now the question becomes where should I transfer those points to? A bit background of myself, currently QF gold, and have been predominantly...

    Overview of Best Qantas Status Run Options [not the discussion thread]

    Initially I put all the names in, but had a look at previous posts seems like everyone was not mentioning the details. I started to remember someone said better not to reveal those fares on a public website... so I edited my post... Anyway, it should be easy to figure those out by entering the...
