I wonder if this means 40 SCs on Qantas once HA joins OW.

The business lounge is a oneworld lounge so oneworld rules apply. Yes I know Qantas operate it but it’s technically not Qantas owned. As a result Qantas club members get access as if it’s an associated lounge.

Some new perks announced today including seat selection, upgrade options and baggage benefits plus an odd US$20 voucher but only if booked on the VA flight number. https://www.pointhacks.com.au/news/virgin-australia-doha-flights-dining-voucher-velocity-benefits/

Nope, QF extra allowances (that aren't part of the wider oneworld benefits) such as QF Silver or QF Club only apply to Qantas operated flights. Being the same ticket QF becomes the most significant carrier and therefore their luggage allowance applies to both flights which is 40kg for business...

Can pay cash for lounge access to Emirates lounges https://www.emirates.com/au/english/experience/our-lounges/paid-lounge-access/ US$157.5 if a member of skywards.

I haven't spoken to anyone in an Australian call center post covid so I'm kind of surprised they still exist. I've now got enough SCs to retain Plat through to Aug 2026 and then will let it drop off to nothing.

Nope as points upgrades aren't linked to award space and rather are space available in the week leading up to departure. If the flight is really empty it'll clear far out otherwise it could be right up until the gate if you've ticked that option.

Sure I kind of agree but that's missing the a big part of a loyalty program. I think I've shared this article before: https://edition.cnn.com/travel/airline-loyalty-programs-points-2025-changes/index.html Some interesting comments from Air France/KML about gamification and this is effectively...

Not going to try and hold onto QF WP?

A new BSB I wonder if that means a move away from EML?

I'm sure I've spoken to Hobart staff who've been working from home in the past.

Wow some of the earnings to see on paper are shocking: This is a Brisbane to Sydney, the lite fare earns a massive 4 SCs: I think we might also have a winner as the current sale from Sydney to Byron has fares for $49 earning a huge 2 SCs No surprises it also swings the other way, a SYD-MEL...

New details here: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/book-a-trip/flights/skytrans.html My flight in a couple of weeks now operated for Qantas by SkyTrans. Notably no classic rewards next year when SkyTrans fully takes over.

Does QF forget they also had flights stopping in Darwin during Covid?

Mentioned in several posts including #1 and #4 Really not just a “Brisbane” deal as you can travel anywhere on the TransLink SEQ network to DFO for 50 cents. In my testing it adds about 30-45 minutes to the total journey.

Nope, and I couldn't clearly see a reader either.

Today in Brisbane the train is not operational and so the rail replacement bus is operating. A first for me at Roma St (Stop 125) they are asking people to touch on to a reader thats on the roadside before boarding the bus. It was pouring down rain so I just shrugged my shoulders and got on like...

Can you tell who hadn’t had their morning coffee yet 😂

China Airlines keeps their website very up to date (when they changed lounge in BNE website changed same day), it seems they are still using the ITA website: https://calec.china-airlines.com/bvct/atairport?country=us&locale=en

Sure could but at the same time I don't think they're too concerned, slot is open to an AU based carrier who can operate it. At this stage we're left with just VA (who's now passed) and the QF group both of which are the only two unless you look at Skytrans (and their new A319) or some other...
