Here's an idea for an enhancement Qantas. If you want to increase the loyalty of your shareholders (and perhas the shareprice) why not offer frequent flyer points to Qantas shareholders? Offering 1 or 2 QFF points annually for each share owned (say with a max of 100,000 points) might encourage...

Looks like I have had my status extended to January 2015 as well despite being 430 status credits short of Platinum. I have a status run booked for tomorrow (with the double status credit offer) and i am wondering whether i should go ahead with it or cancel as i have already had my status...

re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? Oops the routing should have been MEL-SYD-ASP-SYD-BRI-MEL for 450 status credits

re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? Yes that's what i thought as well but couldn't find any for anywhere near that, all the classic award ones were 72,000 so would be interested in knowing whether anyone has been able to book flights for this route in...

re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? Booked a Jasa yesterday as a staus run MEL - SYD - ASP - SYD - CBR - MEL which should net me 450 status credits (with the 50% bonus promotion) for 86,000 points and $597 in taxes so happy with that. Qantas agent said she...

Called to cancel the card on the day after being charged the annual fee. Told the agent i would be paying the balance less the annual fee but she said she couldnt credit the annual fee so asked if i would mind paying the annual fee as well and they would send me a refund. No i told her i would...

Similar to the recent Captain's Choice trip to South America competition where you had to state in 25 words or less who you wanted to sit next to on your next Qantas flight and why. I said the Platinum Shadow and didn't win :lol:. Red Roo do you want to enlighten us on what the winning entry...

I was able to obtain travel insurance for my 88 year old mother-in-law recently with 1cover. You will need to complete a very detailed medical questionnaire and get it signed by a doctor. However they will not cover any pre-existing conditions, even if the condition or illness occured many...

1300 SC's self funded leisure travel for me this year (including some JASA's and double SC promotion) and 0 SC for work

Re: Pilots stood down after dispute in coughpit We were fortunate to be flying on QF8 the following day so weren't affected by the delays, but as an aside, I wasn't impressed with DFW when coming off QF7 on the 4th of August. The queue for immigration was extremely long and even though we were...

Had a massage in the Sydney lounge couple of weeks ago and must say it was disappointing, was offered a foot massage and it lasted barely 15 minutes.

We are on QF7 with you and if our upgrade request doesnt come through then you can find us in 72A and 72B!!

Received the email this morning as well and have put through an upgrade request for SYD to DFW next week, had to do it over the phone as Qantas are having problems with their website. Also didn't realise that you can now request upgrades at the gate but only if one passenger is on the booking.

re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International Yes, i did hear a rumour there may be a few other AFF members in the lounge, so for those of you in the Sydney lounge, if you see a group of three women having lunch (one of whom has quite a loud laugh!) please come and say hello.

re: Strategy to get "Early" JQ check-in for International Oops I was planning on doing the same when we do the JQ36-JQ35 run on 21 July, so thanks for the warning. We are going to go to the J lounge in Melbourne as there are three of us and i only have one extra F lounge pass that we'll use...

Perhaps we can suggest to Qantas to buy a pink noise generator and run it in the lounges, its meant to eliminate someone being able to overhear conversations. Saw a story about it a few weeks back and it was claimed to increase productivity in an open plan office

My husband is a coeliac but has recently cancelled his gluten free meal preference with Qantas as he thought the food was awful and like you he hated the flight attendants making a fuss and serving his meal so much earlier than everyone else. The gluten free meals my husband got in J last week...

Funny neither did our dog, continued sleeping on her bed in the lounge room... I thought dogs are meant to sense an earthquake before it happens?

We felt it in Maribyrnong, the house moved from side to side, quite an eerie feeling, don't expect an earthquake in Melbourne!

Saw Matt Moran in Broome airport boarding a plane back to Brisbane on Sunday. Stephanie Alexander was also there and sat in front of us on the flight to Perth.
