BA's was also the one I was thinking of that says "take nothing with you" in their safety briefing. Last time I flew VA (maybe 5 years ago) they had a fairly long bit in theirs, something like "for your own safety and the safety of others, please do not attempt to take any cabin baggage with...

I certainly remember hearing the phrase "taking nothing with you" from other airlines that I've flown recently, also to remove high heel shoes as they may tear the slide. Have to admit I don't remember the videos, as many these days are trying to be more entertainment than safety messages...

Correct, same as LHR-SIN-LHR, worked by London-based crew (who QF can pay less than Aussie crews, despite London cost of living being higher).

I flew Emirates on QF codeshares almost 3 weeks ago, ticketed by Qantas. The flights appeared in my QFF account and I even was able to select seats on EK metal using Qantas MMB. A few days after the flight I got a survey email from Qantas asking how I'd rate flying with Emirates, and if I...

I got a spend $50 to collect 1000 points Partner got spend $100 to collect 2700 points

I’ve gone to login tonight and after getting the SMS code it wants me to answer 3 of these questions to login. Is there a way to opt-out of this?

Mine is: 2x $50 spend over 2 weeks = 2,000 points 2x $90 spend over 2 weeks = 3,000 points

September 2025? As in almost 2 years time? Things may well change between now and then. Anyway, I recently witnessed someone in a similar situation and the lounge attendant said something like "and how will you be entering today?" to the 3rd person, and then clarified, to some confused looks...

After leaving Australia, I obviously stopped spending with both major chains and all their associated stores. Both started sending me generous bonus point offers, which I ignored being overseas. After a while, the Flybuys offers got less frequent. I rarely get anything from them now...

Works through there - thankyou!

Maybe I'm somehow doing it wrong, but I can't seem to get the upgrade request to load properly either on the app or the website. I've tried a few times over the past few days and keep getting random error messages that don't make much sense to me. Today's is "PNR was not found in the URL" Is...

I had the same issue + more. Not only was an old Australian address but also the tax details (Australian tax resident / TFN) from my old NAB account from over 10 years ago. Citi have my current UK address and foreign tax residency details, but NAB decided to override it with their own outdated...

I think it's unfair to call her a slow learner as she would have been reassured by the experience with Scoot that it wasn't actually a problem and something minor that could be fixed at check-in with little fuss and at no additional cost.

Turkish was approved for 21 weekly flights. Qatar already has 28.

I can't answer for CX, but I have done with BA as their redemptions are similarly better value than using QFF points. The trick with BA is to select that you're making the booking for someone else (not yourself), but then enter your own name into the passenger details. This way it doesn't...

VH-OQK is currently departing Dresden for Sydney as QF 6022

15 Dec - both LHR departures with significant delays QF2 LHR-SIN-SYD delayed overnight at LHR, now scheduled for 9am GMT tomorrow - 13 hour delay QF10 LHR-PER delayed by over 8 hours, now departing 8pm GMT tonight

I suppose one thing that hasn't really been mentioned is that delay compensation across all forms of transport is the norm in other parts of the world but unusual in the Australian transport market. The UK and Europe also have these 'delay repay' schemes for train travel, including government...

It's only a 4 hour flight, so not the worst, but agree not ideal. Is it at least a smooth transfer/transit in Perth airport? Arrive and depart from T3/T4. And does anyone know if there's decent shower facilities in the Qantas Club in Perth? Assume the International Lounge can't be used on...

Thanks all, the main reason not considering QF2 via SIN is the timing and jetlag. I'd prefer to avoid an early morning arrival into Sydney from a relatively short overnight flight from Singapore. Would be happy with a morning arrival from DXB, so will probably go with EK.
