Has anyone tried pulling money out of Qantas Pay via bank transfer? I've decided since it looks like travel to the US is off for the foreseeable future I may as well pull my USD out of Qantas Pay, but the transfer keeps failing with a generic "We're experiencing technical difficulties" message...

Where were you flying to? Reciprocal benefits only apply on some routes IIRC.

The 'C' in that standing for 'Cupboard' 😄

The FAQ on that page says Classic Plus will not be available, it makes no mention of Classic awards. The "further information" page specifically says Classic awards will still be available on codeshare: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-experience/network-and-partner-airlines/skytrans.html

Playing with the "measure distance" tool on Google Maps, I can't get a route from SYD-LHR that goes anywhere near Antarctica without it being > 20000km, significantly longer than the A380's range afaik.

Well I have to say I quite like the A220. Economy legroom seems quite reasonable (my last Y flight was on BA intra-Europe and it's chalk and cheese compared to that). And the new J seat is pretty good too!

The decor is nice, it just "feels" small. The old QP felt spacious and had various corners and nooks and crannies you could head for to get away from the throng. The new QP is pretty much just one room.

It always seems that the DSC periods fail to coincide with sale periods, completely coincidentally I'm sure!

I had that recently after a cancellation and my theory is it's because the only seats available were ones I couldn't select (row 1). I called them and they put me in 1D. I was a bit worried it meant the flight was overbooked though!

Chargeback or small claims court.

Don't forget you need 4 flights on QF metal as well as the SCs.

They really should do this, 12 J seats hasn't been enough for years.

Unfortunately QF won't accept responsibility for "consequential losses" like your extra hire car fee. You could investigate whether travel insurance would cover the extra cost. If Australia had something like EU.261 your compensation payment for the cancelled flight would probably cover it!

It took 27 minutes today to board a full 738 flight, which makes me wonder what the point of the new system was. Doesn't seem to have sped things up at all.

Ah that was a fun time :)

Nope. Qantas Club if on a QF flight code, otherwise Gold and above.

They'll just roll out the fuel surcharge again I'm sure.

At least if you die while waiting for the lounge upgrade your beneficiaries can inherit your points now 🙃

Only risk I can think of would be if the account you transfer to has no recent activity, it could cause the points to evaporate on arrival. Presumably the official transfer method prevents this risk (or you'd hope it would, anyway).

Yes from memory this was their first big post-Joyce change as a demonstration of their committment to improving their reputation and conditions for their frequent flyers. It was swiftly followed by... er... and... also... um.... Well anyway, this was their first big post-Joyce change!
