Correct, I don't think Q earns according to the earn table.

It is a little confusing admittedly, but I think you can stay in the country for 48 hours on a transit visa for free, and then pay $35 USD, if I remember correctly, for up to 30 days.

Thanks all, that's put my mind at rest. This is a snip form the confirmation I received. It does clearly say I'm not permitted to enter Sri Lanka but I'll take the advice of those in the know here. Thanks again.

This talk of shoes etc is nonsense. There shouldn't be glass on the floor in the first place, and regardless of who's fault the glass was, QF should have to take responsibility for it. If airlines give out slippers/socks before flights, then passengers would likely think they were acceptable...

I have an upcoming trip to Columbo planned and I'll be in the country for just under 24 hours. I did a bit of research and discovered that I could get a transit ETA for free rather than paying for a tourist ETA. This has now been granted but it appears that it doesn't entitle me to actually...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options If you're on the East coast a trip to Perth and back would net you 40 for about $700 in economy. Not sure it's great value but relatively straightforward.

Ah OK. Thanks.

Hi All, I have some upcoming flights booked directly with MH. I entered my QFF number when I booked them but they don't appear when I check my upcoming trips on the Qantas site. Question is, should they? Is this something to be concerned about? I need the Sc's from this trip so just want to be...

You're absolutely right. My laziness got the better of me. Here's one I found in case anybody else is interested. http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/introductions/careers-jobs-of-frequent-flyers-29255.html pretty interesting reading.

I've only started flying regularly in the last 2 years and am currently at 785 over that period. With booked travel in January before my anniversary at the end of the month I should finish on a total of 1095 and hit gold for the first time. I'm staggered (and strangely jealous) by the amount of...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Ok, so firstly thanks for all the responses everyone. This forum is just so helpful! I've got my first status run booked and I went with PER-KUL-BKK-KUL-CMB-KUL-BKK-KUL-PER over three days. This should see me comfortably reach gold for the first...

I've never actually done this before so quite interesting. 20 sectors - 35634 miles - 6 Airports - 4 Countries - 4 carriers

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks snabbu. I do enjoy the odd fling;) The option I'm looking at would involve a few hours in the daytime in MNL. Can I ask, what are the reasons you'd avoid it? Having never been myself I'd like some insight if possible? Cheers.

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options The Malaysian Airlines site doesn't give me the flights I want. They're only showing on Sky Scanner. Thanks for the advice re booking classes but my understanding is that Z class does earn business SC's as long as the flights are intra-Asia. If...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks for the suggestions! I can see the flights on Sky Scanner and I think it's a pretty good deal. I'm saving about $200 all up so it's definitely attractive. I don't mind KLIA either which is good as I'll be spending a bit of time there! I'm...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Where are you seeing these options? As far as I can see there is only a flight each day that leaves BKK at 11.05 arriving in MNL at 21.20 meaning an overnight in MNL until the first flight leaves at 06.40?

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks but please see my initial post. I'm looking at 310 SC's for $1450.

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Not just the UK trip. I'll have at least 3 trips to Asia (SIN, KUL, BKK and MNL are likely destinations) along with at least 2 trips to the east coast. I've got sale Y fares to the UK for $4,400 for three of us. The $1,500 wouldn't go far in...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Scheduling mainly. CMB gets me back in BKK by 10.15am, meaning I've got 4 hours before departing for PER. I looked at MNL which would have saved me a bit of cash but I wouldn't make the next flight out on the same day meaning another layover.

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options PER - AKL isn't viable. I'm looking at $1400 one way for 160 SC's with a stop in SYD. I think for the cost my MH run is viable. I'm flying economy out of and into Aus so 70 SC's for these segments is acceptable. The J return for 240 SC's is where...
