    Qantas increases points required for Emirates rewards

    I find the seats in Emirates to become extremely uncomfortable after a few hours Y class seat width 43cm to 45.5 (17 to 18 inches) J class seat width 46.99cm to 50cm (18.5 to 20.5 inches) I don't rate EK J class seating at all. Plus there is also 3 across in the middle :eek:

    Qantas FF attempted hacking of account?

    Have had lots of SMS verification codes sent to me the last few weeks. Called QF, they said not to worry about it. Would be better if QF did hardware token security (Yubikey)

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    Changed my flight recently, put it back 2 weeks. On the original flight l had paid for seat selection (I think it was $10 or $20 in total). When l changed flight l lost that money and now can't do seat selection on the new flight. I can understand cancellation/change flight fees, but how can QF...

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    Called up Qantas last night to try to amend a booking. The wait time was....wait for it, "1.5 hours to 2 hours". I hung up.

    If you had a day to spend with AJ to fix QF what would you say ?

    Redeeming points on short notice is pretty much impossible and you have to be extremely flexible if you do find something. Some people on here have the luxury of booking F/J/Y almost 1 year in advance, l'd be lucky to know what l'm doing 2 or 3 weeks in advance - chance of finding F/ J (or even...

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Funnily enough, Qantas send me a bid for the way down (OOL - SYD), starting at $160pp.

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Agreed, but it seems like a targeted upgrade bid and Virgin doesn't have to give you instant confirmation either.

    Virgin Australia UpgradeMe pricing and success

    Booked SYD-OOL a few weeks ago for $99 per person (2 people on itinerary) one way. Received the upgrade bid via email tonight for a flight well over a week in advance. l'd bid "maybe" $80 - $90, but the flight is just over an hour, l don't see the value in this one at all. Minimum bid is...

    Recent disappointing SYD-SIN J catering experience

    Flew EK long haul the other day. Right near the front on 777. Y Aisle seat in the middle block. Was told only 1 of 2 options available (chicken). Other 2 seats in the block of 4 get served and old mate is eating the other option (fish). Hmm....had a half rack of BBQ Pork Ribs & chips before my...

    Benefits of virgin Platinum when travelling on Delta

    Check out the date. Also, my #FF number was in the booking and on the BP. Points never posted to account (still haven't posted to my Virgin account). Kind of sums up Virgin really....

    Qantas club on sale

    Seems like the joining fee is still up, under membership types section. It's only the membership fees which have been discounted. Pretty expensive. I think PP would be cheaper and in some cases, a better alternative to the Qantas club. What if you have been a previous QC member, do you...

    Qantas club on sale

    Maybe. Lots of companies have a policy of BFOD, so you may fly a mix of QF/Virgin on the cheapest Y ticket, no chance of getting status. l'm in that position myself. Have been flying a mix of QF, Virgin and sometimes the odd EK and SQ on cheapest Y. No chance of status in any of them. (Yes...

    Why takes so long?

    Virgin FF is a right mess. Points never posted, did a missing points claim. Points still aren't in my Virgin account and l did put my Virgin FF number in and was on my boarding pass. Virgin and Qantas points posting is like comparing Apples v Oranges.

    I think the connection is 10 or 12 hours, flying in Y (probably cheapest bucket).

    Dubai Connect

    Have someone doing similar (BUD-DXB-BNE) soon with a very long connection. Tried looking on EK's Manage My Booking, but nothing is showing up for Dubai Connect. Is it best to just ask a check-in in BUD? Ticket was purchased using cash, all EK flight numbers.
