    QFF status on JQ

    Yep still get lounge access for QF SG and above travelling Jetstar. Don't need the pack for that! If you're WP flying to HNL out of SYD or MEL - the deal is very, very good!

    Qantas Lounge Dress Standards- a QF response at last.

    Does actually sound like quite a reasonable deal if you happened to be in the market for a pair.

    Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

    No worries today in SYD in shorts, t shirt and what I call thongs (promoted as Adidas slide thongs or originals). The definitions are bizarre. All they are looking for to deny entry based on wearing "thongs" is the big toe being separated from the others! So my Adidas slide thongs are perfect...

    Wifi in India

    Not sure about that company but the place I stayed near Shimla advertised free wifi like many hotels but it frequently didn't work (albeit during Diwali so not sure if it is a regular problem outside that time). Also there were fairly regular rolling blackouts, which was the same in Nepal so I...

    EY Gold Status match

    Just reading back through the thread - seems status matches in the past have been valid for the rest of calendar year + 1 year + 3 months. So we are looking at 03/2017 expiry?

    What would you be happy with in the real world ??

    Did you manage to get this the other way (PER-AMS-PER)? I'm getting big prices for anything not originating in AMS.

    What would you be happy with in the real world ??

    On short flights under say 5 hours, I'm after the cheapest price. That's pretty much it. The rest is just troubleshooting - I don't want to wait 4 hours at check-in/security or end up sitting next to crying kids but that's mostly luck of the draw. On longer flights say 9 hours or more, the...

    What's your prediction on the Australian Dollar?

    Well all AUD cash, property and stocks have dropped 25% x whatever % you intend to spend/invest outside Australia, before inflation. Had a good chat with a Chinese investor on the weekend which brought home the impact. He sees the Aussie housing market as a goldmine right now. Every house that...

    Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

    It's not cut and dry. As we've seen so far, thongs are usually fine but not always. Depends who you get and what they think of your face. There was something in one of the above articles about revealing clothing being blocked which I guess could include some shorts at a stretch, but you'd have...

    Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

    The mention of the science fiction convention there is classic! Interesting these stories coming out of MEL where we've already had an account of numerous people being allowed in wearing thongs the same day. And word from SYD that thongs aren't part of the crack down. I wonder if it is just...

    Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

    Thongs aren't on their hit list according to a brief chat with a SYD staffer. Men in singlets will be the borderline one I think. Anyone see anyone turned away today?

    RSA MEL F Lounge Qantas Official Response (Refused Drinks)

    50-50. The main alternative being a particular employee misunderstanding their RSA training and thus incorrectly applying it on various occasions outlined here. 100-1 on either of those being admitted in an official capacity - thus the official silence on the matter.

    Single male seating

    This doesn't match my experience. I suspect it's just a short-term coincidence.

    Am I really out $1600 - Jet Star

    I bought a Pepsi for $1.49 last week. This week they are 99c. Have been on the phone to IGA for 6 hours demanding that they refund the difference! Talked to 3 supervisors - nothing. I am a valuable customer! How dare they! It's not even about the money anymore. Just awful customer service...

    Need 70 Status Credits to Make Platinum - By 30 March! Help!

    You'll get the soft landing next year, and probably another year comped on top of that if my experience and that of many others this year is reliable. In the US, requalification is easy in domestic first class, particularly just for Gold, which also gets you lounge access over there (as long as...

    JQ - QF Gold

    When flying Jetstar: Qantas Club access for Qantas Gold. Business Lounge access for Qantas Platinum (domestic). First Lounge access internationally. No check-in, luggage, boarding or other benefits.

    RSA MEL F Lounge Qantas Official Response (Refused Drinks)

    It's starting to sound like it was one particular staff member who misunderstood the RSA rules and affected a few people. Perhaps a new recruit? Hopefully this thread has ensured the misunderstanding has been corrected and we're sweet from now on.

    ex USA class action - airfare price fixing (no admission of liability by QF)

    Looks like some airlines are more culpable than others here. JAL set aside $10M. Thai and Singapore over $9M. Cathay $7.5M. The rest under $1M.
