    Lounge access while transitting

    Hi team Fairly sure I know the answer to this one but wanted to double check. I have business class tickets with QR into Singapore and then connecting on the same ticket with Bangkok airlines. Am I right in thinking I have no access to the QR or other OW lounge in Singapore? Bonus question...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    I have an upcoming flight on the old layout. Can someone remind me if the bulkhead rows in business have enough extra legroom to get in and out of the window seat without having to do the leap over the aisle passengers legs?

    Star Alliance - which program has the best redemptions ex-AU?

    Hey guys Having not travelled for a few years I've started a new job which will have frequent (2-3 times a year) travel to the US. Travel will generally be on United. Company policy is all travel will be in business (mostly P class I think). I've previously been a OW flyer though my Qantas...

    Super simple interlining bags question

    Checking into a Paris to LHR flight with BA can they through-check my bags onto that evening's QF2 departure (both flights were booked as separate award bookings). I'm fairly sure the answer is yes but would like to be certain... Edit - oh there's another thread on this live at the moment and...

    Platinum [benefits]

    I find this absurdly petty and entitled. "Of course I ​deserve status, but these people over here who fly as much or more as I do do not"

    TV didn't work for entire J Flight LAX --> MEL

    re: TV didn't work for entire J Flight LAX --> MEL When this happened to me in Y on QF from SIN to SYD they gave me 15,000 points. The CSM on board also offered me my choice of the duty free aftershaves for free which was a nice gesture. On Etihad in J AUH to LHR I was given a bottle of NV...

    Few questions about QF2 First Class

    Platinum award seat release is now my favourite WP benefit :) I had held a J class LHR to SYD award booking for September flying BA to HKG then CX to ADL and finally QF to SYD. All up this was around 172,000 points, and a less than ideal routing, but for a LHR to SYD itinerary put together at...

    Amount of Qantas Points in Your Acccount

    Currently just 12,000 �� Though I've burned 95,000 on international upgrades since January and a further 157,000 on a J award on Cathay LHR - ADL. ����

    ALL QF's 330's to get lay flat Business seating - Including Domestic

    Got to fly this for the first time today (well, yesterday's QF82). It's a nice seat. Plenty of room, length and width in bed mode are both first rate. Bed is only moderately comfy though. I might be imagining things but it feels firmer than the skybeds. Plenty of room for my size 12 feet lying...

    QF selling more "extra legroom" Y seats - 80A/K,71D, Int. bullhead & Dom. Exit

    Re: QF selling more "extra legroom" Y seats - 80A/K,71D & Dom. Exit As a platinum I can select international bulkhead seats at no charge. As a nearly 6'5" flyer I wouldn't actually sit in them on most aircraft however. Whatever happened to the leg cut out? I do pay for exit row seats and...

    Codeshares and Elites

    Correct. As with the question about priority checkin etc this would be extended to higher cabin passengers regardless.

    Codeshares and Elites

    Despite the fact most airlines don't officially offer this I've never been turned away by just joining the business class checkin/boarding queues when booked on the codeshare and handing over the appropriate coloured QF FF card along with my passport with an appropriately DYKWIA look on my face...

    Just hit WP...

    Cheers :) Most important/valuable benefits to me are: 1) Upgrade priority 2) Not having to queue any more at airports (it's been so many years since I flew anywhere without priority checkin/security/immigration/boarding privileges this was probably the single biggest annoyance when I started...

    Just hit WP...

    Just thought I'd share my excitement to have hit this milestone with QF... Have been Platinum with VA since they introduced the tier but changes to travel patterns etc has seen me switch back to Qantas as of January, having not flown with them for many many years. I've been flying monthly...

    QF seat selector on flights operated by another airline

    Speaking of partner seat maps (though largely off topic for the OP) - tomorrow's 9W-75 (codeshare QF3953) was showing different seat maps up until about 10pm last night - seats available on the 9W coded seat map showed occupied (not blocked, occupied) for the equivalent QF flight number. The EF...

    Non-refurb 747 - Row 4 or upper deck?

    It is indeed 1-2-1. Window seat row 4 is the best I can do in that cabin. Other choices are various window seats on the UD or an UD aisle seat exit row. Tough call... but I think I'll stick to 4K and hope to tick off the UD bucket list item on the next trip. Cheers

    Non-refurb 747 - Row 4 or upper deck?

    Quick sanity check ahead of tomorrow's QF127 which looks to be a non-refurb bird (front cabin is a 1-2-1 configuration). Currently in row 4 but have a few options upstairs too including the exit. I've lots of J flying experience but never on the 747 before and upper deck on the 747 is a bit of...
