Hello folks. I need to get from Europe to PER on or soon after 13 Oct. I have 400k+ QF points and would like to travel Business or First. I don't have a login for any other FF programmes but am happy to get one if it can be done without flying. We'll be in Portugal, but could do a single flight...

Yes, I was trying to book any carrier for money. No, I wasn't suggesting it was the insurer of the passenger causing the problem, though of course most have quietly side stepped their obligations in small print back in September (though would happily sell a policy excluding volcanos without...

On a previous Bali weekender, flying jetstar, we noticed that air Asia were the only airline operating in the wake of some volcanic activity. All other carriers had canx citing safety concerns. A pilot friend of a friend suggested the real reason, which sounded reasonable to me, was that it was...

Cheers. Already holding an amex amex, signed up the BW product too.

Well I got the money back, but had to threaten to close the card. Which I will anyway. Thieves. While we're at it, I could use a zero annual fee keeper visa or mastercard which doesn't attract this kind of stupidity, any recommendations? Cheers

Bought some return flights ex PER on MK. Advertised in AUD, can't spot any small print saying they'll charge in any other currency, and transaction value on statement is identical to the displayed value, to the cent - however the bank have charged an excessive transaction fee. Anyone...

Thanks all.

So I've been trying to book some J seats on the forthcoming QF9 PER-LHR. No such thing it seems. However, one can book J redemptions MEL-LHR. Now I'm obv not going to fly to MEL to come straight back, but what if I book the MEL-LHR ticket? Can I still get on at PER for the PER-LHR leg?

QF PER LHR still not for sale So the long awaited (at least by some) PER LHR direct slated for March 18 still isn't for sale, though we can search for March 18 flights on qantas.com If I were to guess I'd probably go with the idea that the aircraft delivery schedule isn't looking good. Seems...

Re: Macquarie based cards glitch Got some emails today from macquarie based credit card entities telling me I'd been 'approved' for new cards - thing is I haven't invited any financial institutions to enjoy a percentage scrape of my spend recently. Called them and they said it was a glitch and...

So I called both the border force office and the airport, neither seems able to tell me. Does anyone know what time the passport checking guys get started? Got an early departure soon, and recall last time I turned up to Int'l departures early in the morning I joined two hundred others outside...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I wasn't going to chase the SCs this year, until the double points offer came up. 135 would get me over the line this year, any recommendations for an inexpensive way to get them ex PER ? Cheers

Thanks all.

I have a 5y.o. Kelpie cross. Considering subjecting the poor sod to six hours in a crate. Any accounts of recent experiences with pet travel, especially ADL PER would be welcome, good or bad. Cheers.

Re: Qantas American Express Premium card /82,500 QFF points / $249 / $3k spend 3 mont Thanks Kelvedon, there's the answer.

Re: Qantas American Express Premium card /82,500 QFF points / $249 / $3k spend 3 mont Outside of 24hrs now, and looks like the itinerary I booked is considerably more expensive- thanks anyway.

Re: Qantas American Express Premium card /82,500 QFF points / $249 / $3k spend 3 mont Cheers. What's a cost effective way of doing this? I've stupidly just booked flights yesterday and used the wrong card. How about a hire car through qantas.com.au ? Has anyone seen a document that specifies...

Re: Qantas American Express Premium card /82,500 QFF points / $249 / $3k spend 3 mont Does anyone know if Jetstar flights are a qualifying qantas spend to get the lounge passes/additional QF miles bonus?

You're right, thanks, I had confused the two. FF points earn rate from flying is immaterial for me as I don't fly much and flip 4-5 credit cards every year.

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth coughing the extra for a flex ticket for more SCs. I've got 290 this year, and am booking another itinerary of 6 flights which would earn me some more. Say for argument's sake the itinerary earns 200 points, but I hit silver after ten of them, does the...
