    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    You can also spread out your meals - eat once in the dining area, rest your bellies and eat again perhaps in the wider lounge area.

    Velocity wants to know if you prefer bonus status credits or points

    I also received the email. The app didn't have this offer to activate so it must be automatic. But I did see a separate offer for bonus SCs for business. They really must need the cash hit? 😕

    Virgin 787s?

    IMHO many of us want to and wish VA would succeed, even if only to keep QF honest and prices not too extortionate. But history (and lots of discussion on identical or similar topics on AFF!) suggests overextension and ambition will only lead to disaster. VA had international and wide body...

    Qantas First class SYD-LAX

    Thanks for sharing :) Acknowledging how things are meant to work versus how they really do, I’ve flown many times as a P1 in F or J and have only had the host when actually in F - I snagged the spa a couple of times but only after reaching the lounge. And never pyjama sizes - on board there...

    Can you transfer Qantas status credits?

    And in case you wanted a second opinion, also no. Only points.

    Europcar caught scamming customer at Sydney Airport

    More than 10 years ago I wanted a luxury rental at SYD and hired a Mercedes E-Class from Europcar who seemed to be the only ones providing them. It was probably also when I was gifted Europcar status from VA? Returning the car they accused me of damaging it. They eventually relented but by then...

    QANTAS International Red Tail sale

    Just got an email suggesting the next DSC might be lobbing a few days after February 10 - not in those exact words ;)

    Melbourne Airport value parking

    I’m not sure about Sunday nights specifically but imho it’s up to you how you value your money and time, I’ve waited 0-10 minutes for the shuttle from the carpark, the ride takes <10 minutes depending on where you park and I’ve also waited 2-15 minutes at the terminal for the shuttle back...

    Qantas Cabin Baggage Survey Results Email

    Wow, BA’s cabin allowance seems huge and prone to nasty accidents! With QF I wouldn’t mind checking things in so much if they hadn’t taken so long to come out domestically even for premium. Things might have improved since.

    Unnecessarily complicated loyalty program rules & features

    Not all QF status credits are credited equal. Some contribute to lifetime and/or P1, but only if it’s not from a credit card/it’s called Loyalty Bonus/divisible by a prime number/comes doused with Neil’s vinaigrette. The T&Cs and list of ^*#%+ are long. VA’s rolling status credit earn also...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Interested how they'll respond and whether it's the pro forma 'Sorry we didn't meet your expectations, we'll provide feedback to staff...' The personable chats are nice but not at the expense of mismanaging the rest of the small cabin. I was the victim of an FA having an overly friendly and...

    MEL to IST return in J on QF points?

    Thanks! I didn't find availability before but that was on earlier dates and I've been able to replicate your results. I don't have enough VA points to get anywhere near my intended destination unfortunately. I've heard about those infamous EK taxes/surcharges and it looks like I face ponying...

    Article: The Benefits of Sitting at the Back of the Plane

    I’ve heard UMs and prisoners :eek: are to be found at the back… although the couple of times I ended up there, due to a last minute flight change, I haven’t sat near either!

    Do not disturb sign being ignored

    Had it ignored in Santorini and housekeeping inadvertently threw away my friend’s newly bought earrings which were in some tissue on the dresser. The hotel just shrugged and the friend was ropable.

    MEL to IST return in J on QF points?

    I'm aiming for two return flights in J from MEL to as close to Türkiye as possible this October, using QF points for CR or to upgrade (as opposed to paying $20k cash fares or excessive CR+ burn). Wondering if there are any clever ways to do this. It seems like reward seats to DXB and DOH don't...
