    How to get 3 people into a lounge strategy

    No - you need a J ticket for Qatar's BKK and SIN lounges (it's an exception to the usual J lounge rules). (There's also a CX lounge where you can get 1 guest in flying J... probably...) https://www.qatarairways.com/en-au/lounges/bangkok-premium-lounge.html...

    How to get 3 people into a lounge strategy

    This isn't about which seat on the plane is taken by what person, but rather what lounge access there is beforehand. If the OP keeps their ticket, they'd be able to get one person into Qatar (and maybe Oman) by virtue of flying J, two people into Air France (by virtue of SG/QP status) or two...

    How to get 3 people into a lounge strategy

    The OP should be able to get into the Air France lounge as a Gold or QP. Also worth noting name changes are only possible up to 24 hours before (and they'd need a ticket themselves, given paid fares don't permit name changes)...

    How to get 3 people into a lounge strategy

    TBH, in the wake of BKK booting out lounges other than its own from Priority Pass/Dragonpass, your best bet is to burn off your two Dragonpass entries on a Coral or Miracle lounge and pay for one more admission. It's a shame that the BKK airport authorities decided to be a***holes, as the Air...

    Accor Plus Digital card/dining

    That's slack! (When I was in the Movenpick opposite Southern Cross, the waitress jotted it down.)

    JAL 777-300ER back on Sydney route

    MEL certainly has had Apex suites swapped out for Shell Flat Neo while the normal plane was in maintenance. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/jal-shell-flat-neo-advice-please.108519/

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Finally showed up in the wee small hours this morning. Week 2 done. No sign of the 2000 points though. (It may have been rolled into the Friday order? Again, who knows given the coughpiness of Flybuys/Coles systems compared to Woolworths.)

    Qantas Hotels / Booking Cancellation (am I screwed?)

    Dark mof_ is good fun. Suggest contacting the hotel and seeing if they'll reschedule to another date. It won't be Dark mof_, but at least you won't have to write off the booking.

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    This is usual for Coles/Flybuys. It'll reappear later in the week. (Coles and Flybuys have rubbish technology. As well as the vanishing 4 week spend, there's still no invoice available for an order I had delivered yesterday evening to check how much I will be charged and that I'll meet the week...

    Who else still holds the Citibank Free For Life Premier Card?

    Technically it's get paid $20, pay 5000 points now, and get 5000 points back... ;) And it turns out my 'business transactions' were PayAll transactions that were immediately paid back.

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    Screwed up a Qantas Hotels booking from a previous points promo by putting my dad down as the lead traveller on his booking with my FF number attached. I got the standard points for both bookings but was wondering why I only got one lot of 3000 bonus points. Re-read the T&Cs: "In order to be...

    Flybuys Targeted Bonus Promotions

    Compared to Woolies, Flybuys is practically throwing points and other discounts at me. Had a 2000pt/$80 (unexpectedly) post as 4000 points last week as the pre-discount spend was ~$157, on top of the Coles Plus booze bonus points (on whisky that was already $50 less than Dan's was asking)...

    Everyday Rewards Targeted Offers

    2x points. Yawn... (Fortunately, I placed a click and collect order with last week's 10x point offer stacking with my last online $50/2K points offer.)

    Use velocity points for on board purchases!

    Looks like the redemption value is 0.5cpp (so 2400 points will get a $12 combo). A complete ripoff... From this article in the Oz:

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    That article assumes that Qantas couldn't re-time flights. I'm not familiar with the nuances of route planning, but if they were to switch to an A380, couldn't they re-time QF35 and 36 to meet the QF1 and 2 schedule (e.g. leave MEL at 14.00, arriving SIN ~20.00, and leaving SIN 21.30 arriving...
