I will look into this. It seems the joining fee is AUD$50 but I have no idea what status the ticket is. I'd say the bottom one at these prices. The flight itself is around 16000 miles return, would I get access for that flight or just flights there after?

I'm a noob and have no idea what those acronyms mean

Thanks for the info trooper. Ill definately drop in on flyertalk, if not just for the possiblity of more great information. I don't mind going via Aukland if it's going to save me $1000 :D

Im sorry Dave, I should hve phrased that better. The air NZ fare is $1000 cheaper in economy. Thats a fair chunk off. I was only going to fly GF business if I could get the points upgrade. Seems that is very difficult to do.

Hi, I normally fly with Qantas everywhere I go and are a member of QFF and QC. I am planning a trip to SFO in June and was looking up the tickets. I planned to use points to upgrade my ticket to business class but it seems that there is slim to no chance of that happening due to my FF status...

HI, Im flying ML-SFO in June this year and I'm about to book my ticket. I loathe to fly long distance economy but for the cost I can put up with it. However I was deciding whether to book a business class ticket on points and spend 192 000 and pay the taxes or buy an economy ticket and use...

I hate flying Jetstar but when they are the only carrier that flys direct to my parents place I have a lot less choice. I noticed the last 3-4 times Jetstar has departed over 3hrs late. Each time the excuse changes weather, ATC, unserviceable aircraft, etc. I thought it was becoming too much of...

Hi, I have alot of Yen I want to exchange for AUD. I bought it back from Japan with the intention of returning but that will not be happening any time soon. DOes anyone know the nest place to exchange currency when it comes to fees/commissions? I know the exchange rate will screw me but I...

I remember reading about priority baggage been removed from one of the QC features but I couldn't find reference to it anywhere. But I suspect it doesn't actually mean anything even if it is still a feature. Twice in the last month I have flown BN - MEL and on both occasion on the MEL end it has...

A comedy of errors all cause by "bad weather". I'm sure that the weather doesn't discriminate against Jetstar and that this may be a case of more than just "bad weather". I curious as to what day the flight was experiencing bad head winds flying up to Sydney as 99% of the time they are tail...

So that's where that flight goes, I always wondered how 2 LA flights escaped out of melbourne with me only noticing QF93. Good point, does anyone know which days of the week are less full on this sector? I noticed last year flying to Japan that Tuesdays were a good day to fly, but...

Thanks guys, its comforting to hear that its not general practice to shaft people. On a side note, flicking through the forums shows alot of people here fly to LAX reguarly. Would you recommend going business or perhaps saving the points and taking 2 economy holidays? :lol:

Hi, It's been a while since I have posted however I'd like to pick the brains of the wealth of knowledge available here. I'm planning a holiday to the US nexy year and was considering using my points for the flight. Originally I wanted to fly business class but the award seats are few and far...

Update: I flew Tokyo - Mel last night and they did show WTC on AVOD. It was edited however, they did not show any footage of an aircraft crashing or hitting anything.

I am returning to Melbourne from Japan next week and was curious as to what would be played on the flight. I looked up Melbourne - Tokyo November in economy and was surprised to find that World Trade Centre was the second movie on the list.... Now the blurb doesn't match the movie but the...

Then again $2500 10 yrs ago was worth more than $4200 now days. Or so my parents keep reminding me :lol:

I don't mind Pepsi Max by itself, but does anyone here actually drink Pepsi with alcohol? However I would much rather drink Pepsi max and mix it myself than the dodgy premix cans they are selling atm.

You shouldn't have to be Emerald / Platinum to be treated with respect....

I am in the same boat as you, I vowed never to fly Jetstar again after I was offloaded on xmas day last year for missing the 30min checkin cutoff. Just wish I didn't spend 40mins in the line at Melb airport to be told I was 5mins late....not happy. However as they are the only carrier to fly...

I must admit I pace when talking on my phone too. Usually on the cordless at home. I think its because when I talk for more than 2 mins its to my mother or sister, perhaps its anxioiusness to get off the phone :lol:
