    Just have to share this one :)

    Instead of ringing you can also add your QF PNR to a checkmytrip.com account. Bring up the booking there and the second line of each listed flight will contain the carrier specific PNR. Just be warned that if you book a codeshare (e.g. QF flight number, operated by JL) you won't see JL's PNR...

    QF SIN return from most OZ capital cities

    It's possible to get the best of both worlds by booking directly with QF and then using the price promise (not everyone has time for this, but you get credited 1k pts for your time). Bestjet, which IWTF often redirects to, has an ABN/ACN which makes it suitable for claiming. Avoid getting...

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

    So MEL isn't getting screwed after all. A choice of the A380 or B787 all the way.

    BNE-HKG-LAX with QF & CX J Class - why is it adding both segments individually?

    If you use QF and a partner airline the points are calculated separately with BNE-HKG on the QF table (60,000 pts) and HKG-LAX (104,000 pts) on the partner airline table, whereas if you use CX it'll calculate only from the partner table based on the total mileage (139,000 pts).

    advertised fare QF but can't actaully book?

    I've had a look for 10 minutes and can only get this to price using the direct AKL-LAX codeshare flight on a NZ PoS. Here's the permitted routing: 1 * AKL-SYD/BNE/MEL-SFO 2 * AKL-SYD/BNE/MEL-LAX-QF-SFO There's nothing in the fare rules that says you can't use the AU-US QF flights...

    QF J sale to Johannesburg

    It's a very good deal. The current sale is 4.3k but only if you're travelling with someone else, otherwise it's 4.4k. For comparison, last sale was Dec/Jan for 4.8k. Another sale back in Feb 16 was 4.7k. Just beware that QF have a tendency to put unrefurbished 747's on this route. Expect an...

    [QF] Taxes

    Re: Taxes Think of it more like a copayment. Since the charge never came off when the price of fuel dropped to pre-surcharge levels, it would be reasonable to assume that it's got nothing to do with the cost of fuel and more to do with padding QF's bottom line.

    Married segments - what does this mean

    Basically this means that if you want to look for flights in a specific fare class (e.g. business award class, or U class) from A to B on a specific airline, but it goes via some hub C, usually with a transit of <24 hours, then your search needs to be for A to B, and there needs to be U class...

    Connecting with QF in HKG from China ... a bit dicey? Advice?

    If you somehow get credited the SCs from the missed conx (and they're lower than what you'd originally have gotten) then you can ring up QFF and ask for the original routing points/credits. The explanation we got at the time was that it was an ATC delay so they were under no obligation to...

    Connecting with QF in HKG from China ... a bit dicey? Advice?

    In all likelihood you'll get put on CX161/CX101 then QF to BNE. It's up to CX/KA to reroute you so they generally put you on their own metal. Just don't do what I did many years ago. KA from mainland to CX101 (last flight out for the day) with a 1.5 hour layover. Missed the conx due to 3+...

    Double QFF points offer (book until 23:59 3rd Apr, travel 15th Apr - 28th Feb)

    It's the most unambiguous way to tell people when it ends. If you told people it ends midnight on 4th April then some people will assume they have the night of the 4th to do it, which is not the correct interpretation of the actual offer.

    Offer details Registration link Applies to all QF operated and marketed flights, as well as QF flight numbers operated by EK between AU and NZ. As usual, you have to register first - link is above. The nitty gritty (bolded parts are mine for emphasis):

    CX award on QF - aircraft discrepency

    From 25 March onwards it's all A359's, so QF MMB is correct in this case.

    Qantas to start Sydney Beijing service

    QF108 will occasionally depart PEK late and the delays can be in the order of a few hours like on the first day the route resumed, so the next QF5/6 rotation has to be run by a refurb. In the case of QF108 arriving into SYD on time like today they can use an unrefurb on QF5/6.
