Emirates first class has been a great way of burning QF points for me. Had to fly into BNE last time but it was worth it. Need to use the multi city tool too as searching normally often doesn't show up. SYD - CHC is a fun redemption, had also booked SIN - MEL but for April next year, have a...

SCL isn't an "ego" destination, there's lots of South Americans in Australia, tourist demand in both directions and not many options across the southern Pacific. QF also partner with LA on the route (even after LA left OW), so there is still capacity if things go awry.

The CGK route is great! Did that to Spain earlier this year. Spent a night in Jakarta just to smooth things out, some decent 5 star hotels on Amex FHR/Virtuoso to relax in even though that city isn't amazing.

I don’t doubt you’re right here but a lot of airlines make their rewards programs into their own profitable schemes. Qatar have joined forces with BA and other airlines, have good availability outside peak times in Q-suite, only 90k points one way to Europe….whereas Emirates even charge their...

Emirates rewards even in J aren't worth it with the surcharge anymore which is why it's such a shame this route is going. On normal routes the only rewards worth chasing are F given the carrier charges are the same for a much better experience

Food isn't bad at all on UL but some of the spiciest meals I've had in the air!

Great news this has been extended. I doubt they could come up with a better offer dollar for dollar given the typical interests of the average Plat card holder!

The flight will still be running first week of November for sure. They'll give more notice than 4 weeks.

Just did ICN - TPE - SYD Overall a very good experience so it's a shame they've reduced availability. Had 10 hrs between flights though and left the airport to go into Taipei - seemed a fun city. Lounge in T2 was horrible though, windowless, hardly any toilets. There's also an apparently...

Booked EK F on this route with QF points for April. Assuming it'll be canned by then which is a shame, is it probable they'll offer to switch me to QF J and get a points difference refund from QFF? Or will they just cancel given it's a points ticket? Wouldn't mind being switched to QF F SIN -...

Does anyone know if the $200 Australian/overseas dining credits will be back again next year? The offer is due to end 31 Dec 2024 with nothing apparently replacing it...

So does the arrival flight not matter? I’ve done seamless transfer a couple of times now but can’t recall if they checked my arrival boarding pass (and it didn’t matter as it was QF both times). Should add they’re separate PNRs too…

Arriving on China Airlines on QFF booked ticket. Not OW but partner airline. Transferring to QF domestic. Can I use Seamless Transfer?

Getting a lot of phantom availability for Velocity awards. Is this a problem for anyone else? Looking at LHR to MEL/SYD/BNE for late July this year (wasn't expecting anything at all) and seats aero seems to show multiple day Velocity availability in J but nothing is actually available on the...

What lounges are people doing pre flight out of BKK in J? Qatar seems best but not open til 16:30. Is EK fairly close by to spend time in before?

Any updates on whether this is changing back to QF9? Seems like things are clear for now between Israel and Iran...

Ah, yes you're right - 22,000 vs 38,750.

If you have Amex membership rewards then it's around 20k BA Avios (which is the same currency as Qatar now) in business across to Perth from the east coast. One of the sweet spots on their award chart!

You can search it on QF, you just need to know how to get around the bugs. Adding a stop before DXB on the multi city usually will solve the problem.

Yeah this is a major bug on the website. Annoying it doesn't get fixed though selfishly it probably means fewer people redeem these seats. To fix this go to the multi-city tool and have your trip originate somewhere else - often London airports have reasonable availability, Amsterdam isn't bad...
