arrrrghhh - I got the offer too but didn't respond in time (was travelling). I'm Qantas WP/LTG and I am travelling next month to Europe for business on Qatar with VA domestically (I class Qatar, D Class VA). Two questions - Is there any point in ringing VA and asking for the offer (or a...

I'm wondering what the current polly entitlements scandal will do to the F class arrangements. When there was a crackdown a couple of years ago on pollies and public servants accepting upgrades, I scored two A380 F (opup) upgrades from paid J class (one with partner). I'm hoping the same...

Red Balloon sells them - from $1100 for flights for two people, two nights 4 star accommodation and transfers https://www.redballoon.com.au/search?q=mystery I won one a couple of years ago and sent my DH and BIL off as I was too busy with work. We received an envelope 24 hours before from...

Yes 24J is next to 24K - I mean 24b is is the same type of seat (with no storage and the problems mentioned) as 24J. In my opinion 24 A and K would be great because you have plenty of room to get up, don't get stepped on and they have side storage. Also 24 D and F would be good. Yes in all...

Agree - but I usually take a largish but soft carry on bag (rather than a carry on suitcase because in J upper deck seating it means I can stuff it into the side bins for easy access). Lesson learnt. :)

I recently scored a points upgrade from Y -> PE. Was given 24J. I should have changed it! In case anyone is considering this seat (and its partner 24B) The good thing about the seat is the huge leg room. But I didn't need that. The bad things about the seat are: - Absolutely zero personal...

Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate I was lucky with 4 out of 4 points upgrades and one opup in November: QF27 4/11 Sydney to Santiago Y -> J Latam JJ8020 11/11 Rio to Santiago Y -> J (opup) QF28 11/11 Santiago to Sydney Y -> J QF1 Sydney to London 18/11 Y (sale fare) -> J QF2 London to Sydney...

I flew QF1 SYD to LHR on 18 November. No text received but upgrade appeared online (MMB) about T-18. I was initially given the same seat all the way though but received a phone call at T-4 asking if I would be willing to move to another aisle seat to let a couple sit together (answer yes)...

Yes - I had a ba classic award sit there for months and the date kept updating to the following month when the date had passed. I recently went in to manage the booking filled in some missing info (phone numbers) and it disappeared immediately

I would chase it with a polite email. A colleague of mine once opened his y class meal to find a fly buzzing around under the foil - he was sent a $100 restaurant voucher. Earlier his year I was on a Qf flight Hong Kong to Sydney and my ife stopped working mid movie and couldn't be...

Happy to report upgrade to business from y on QF28 today and even opup on feeder LATAM flight from Rio :) :) :) Thanks for the info Beautiful view of the Antarctic ice too http://vid1006.photobucket.com/albums/af188/jhumblej/ice_zpsklnroiga.mp4

We've done a few amtrak trips mixed with driving so you could look for somewhere that has mustangs and train it to or from there - remember you can get off at any of the stations. From the train you also see things you cannot see from the road. On different trips we've done the North East...

thanks again andy (and of course QF). Success to J at t-28 (upper deck as well!) :)

Earlier in the year Woollies had 20% off flight centre gift cards. Using the egift card 5% to buy them was a very good deal! I took about 20 cards in to pay for a cruise with cruisabout (flight centre) and I sat with the consultant and read out the numbers to make it easier on her :)

Thank you Andy!

Hi Could someone look to tell me the loadings and give an opinion on the chance of upgrade from Y to J for 4/11/2016 SYD -> SCL QF 27 (Sydney to Santiago)? Also QF28 SCL to SYD on 11/11/2016 Single traveller WP. Thank you!

yes you can break it - we did it last year. check the terms of the booking. We flew Sydney-LAX-JFK and then on the return journey, we stopped at LAX for a couple of weeks (took an amtrak train to seattle, an alaskan cruise from seattle and then spent some time in santa monica). If you have...

yes - same. we also booked it last year and stopped off at LA for a couple of weeks. Thought it was good value, especially with the QF flight from LAX to JFK

when you've sorted out the visa, research how to use the subway in NYC and look for hotels near the line for jfk. Staten Island Ferry is free to sail past the Statue of Liberty and the New York Pass is good value if you use the subway to get between the attractions. Qantas has a 'secret...

I have three: - Susan Boyle in the BA Terminal 5 First Class Lounge - Marco Pierre White on a QF flight - actually a colleague sat next to him in J and talked about it for the rest of the trip (I didn't know who he was at the time) - Sat next to Erykah Badu...
