    Qantas Past Positive Medical Clearance form

    I submitted just the NSW Health Clearance Form (without the Qantas form). Got a response within 6 hours clearing me to fly without a test. QF website says “Qantas form OR a signed medical certificate”, so looks like they accept either.

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    Happened several times even on orders that show all items in stock, because the store that fullfills the order may sell out of the items by the time the order is fullfilled. Web chat with a rewards team has always resolved that for me and points were manually credited.

    QF Upgrade Success - discussion thread

    SYD-HKG QF127 (333) vs QF118 (388) Considering a FlexY fare on QF127, with an upgrade lottery ticket. Because J suites. Alternatively, W is slightly more expensive than Y but if the upgrade does not clear than at least PE which is a plus. But if it does, then a SkyBed which is a minus. :-/...

    Qantas new website messed up?

    Same here, my bookings disappeared too. Search for a booking by PNR reveals it, still linked to my QFF#. But attempts to do anything in MMB on the website or the app (tried a classic domestic upgrade) results in "Sorry. The system is currently experiencing difficulties"

    Domestic J loads

    Hi, road warriors! :) Gathering some statistic for a uni case study and interested to compile stats about domestic J load factors, intra-day and day-of-the-week. So if you a regular flyer (or even an occasional one but have flown recently), could you please comment your observations regarding...

    QF Double Status Credits (SC) offer for all :)

    Not exactly the same but similar. I had to split the original DSC booking into two (the second passenger wasn't travelling) and to cancel one ticket. The agent cancelled the old PNR, and created a new PNR for mine, although I specifically asked for the old PNR to retain. I called the FF team and...

    QF2 Passengers Stranded in Dubai

    Call me a cynic, but I just don't buy the story of a holiday ruined by Qantas for a couple who supposedly "saved up to go to fireworks in Sydney", so they booked a flight that arrives in Sydney at 6am on 31st Dec? To go watch fireworks same night (likely, jet lagged)? Yeah, sure...

    QF ticket cancellation

    Yes you can - i did it not long ago. As long as the refund goes onto the same credit card that was used to make the original payment, I was told. I did it over the phone, but the operator told me that even if i did it online and it got converted into a voucher, I could later call and they would...

    QANTAS fares to LHR

    Seems very reasonable. For Jul/aug 2016 best fares I saw were $7,500 in J in a companion sale about 3-4 months prior to departure, after the sale ended the price went to $8,200, which suggest Qantas discounts J sales on AU-EUR at about 10%. At present fares are at all times low, but have been...

    QF Vouchers with Multicity

    I concur with PF - I have done an open jaw using a voucher over the phone, the fee was suggested but waived as soon as I mentioned it couldn't be done online.

    QF1 business meals

    I personally enjoyed J meals on this route (sept 2016). They did change the J menu recently, and my favourite chicken schnitzel sandwich is no longer offered on QF2, only QF1. But other than that, all was very tasty. I personally find the catering out of SYD doing a better job (by Q catering)...

    "fly ahead" with Qantas?

    I had no problems on a business fare both in the lounge and at the counter.

    Qantas 787 Event

    OK I'll try to do a bit deeper analysis here... The new typefont is certainly a nod to the past. The now ex-typefont was rather an oddity when first introduced, with its leaning and curves, it felt fresh and I personally liked the softness of it. It's like the edges were polished off. Yet at...

    Award booking cancelled without notice

    in fact, it could be argued that the effort and the opportunity cost to the business (QF) in chasing QR or coming up with an alternative suitable itinerary is now greater than the forgone revenue of an award F seat they would loose by offering it as an acceptable alernative. The customer is...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    MEL-SYD 30 Sep 16 QF464 19:30 (Dinner) I was originally on QF462 which was cancelled and I got moved to QF464 which was the refurbed A330. Needless to say I did not hesitate to use the points to upgrade my Y ticken on that flight, as I have never tried the new suites :D On offer was the...

    19 Sep 2016 QF553 BNE-SYD 19h25 (Dinner) On offer was lemongrass chicken (hot option) or a greek style lamb? salad (cold option). I went for the hot option and wasn't disappointed - the dish was tasty and fragrant, and worked well with the bubbles. A white wine offered was S+S and red was I...

    QF Double Status Credits (SC) offer for all :)

    I had a similar situation when a booking for 2 pax made during the double SC promo had to be split as my partner is no longer travelling. When I called to split and cancel my partner's ticket, I specifically asked to ensure that my booking reference remained as per the original booking to be...
