    Major 2025 Qantas Frequent Flyer program changes

    At least they've basically stopped lying and calling this a fuel surcharge.

    Minimum Connection Times - Sin QF/AY Points tickets

    Hi, In final stages of building a 4-Pax itinerary to Helsinki. Looking at connecting QF1 Classic Plus reward (21:05 arrival) with 2xAY132 Classic reward (22:05 departure) and 2xAY132 paid fares. System won't put them on same ticket because it's a mix and match. Getting QF1 for 44,000 points...

    Ah, you're right sorry. Missed the two-stop part of the routing on Emirates website.

    Qantas and Emirates partnership extension

    Haven't flown internationally since 2016, (kids and job changes). Looking at planning a Christmas trip to Europe next year right now. What on earth has happened to the QF/EK partnership? No EK options offered for cash or points bookings across multiple dates of the year (too early for dates we...

    Thinking of switching from Qantas Ultimate to Explorer

    I've had Qantas ultimate since 2008. Probably about 80k spend per year at the moment. Very disappointed with the current Qantas situation. I'm at 5000 odd LTC but can't see myself heading towards 14,000 anytime soon as I don't travel for work anymore. And I have upwards of 800,000 points...

    QF to Europe returns to the Kangaroo Route (via SIN)

    Excellent news if the Emirates network is retained fully in terms of points and award availability. Last year we flew SYD-SIN-DXB-CDG QF/EK/EK with the first leg economy on points. From recollection the EK flight left Singapore about 12:30am. This would be a perfect itiinerary with A380 on...

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    Re: Woolworths rethinking Qantas - or a slow news day Hadn't thought about that. Good point but convenience still stands.

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    Re: Woolworths rethinking Qantas - or a slow news day It is loyalty to Qantas. Not necessarily profitable loyalty though they seem to be getting the better end of most of these partnerships. Points aren't Qantas tool of loyalty anymore though. That's status credits. Points are just an...

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    Re: Woolworths rethinking Qantas - or a slow news day I live at Bronte and have shopped at Woolies for most of the last 15 years because they've always been the best store in whichever locality I was in at the time (Campbelltown, Balmain, St Leonards, Marrickville). The added QFF was a bonus...

    First Ever F Flight - What not to miss?

    Well, experience was great in-flight. Guess I'll have to wait and see for the Dubai Lounge/Sydney F Lounge experience as the Emirates Lounge at BKK is pretty basic in terms of services. Moet & Chandon Imperial Reserve was better than the Dom Perignon. The seating comfort is a definite step up...

    First Ever F Flight - What not to miss?

    I'm making my first ever F Flight from Bangkok to Sydney tomorrow evening with Emirates. Tickets were bought last Friday (work paying). I haven't had any contact directly from Emirates, what should I not miss out on? Pre-flight - Are there any hidden perks? Additional lounge services not...

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    Flew my last JASA last week from LAX to SYD. Thanks for everyone's help booking. Great finish to honeymoon and points / status credits credited 24 hours later.
