    SA are 3 down and need less than 100 to win. This has been a fabulous final and maybe there are some more twists to come but SA are now firm favourites.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Article: Should Qantas Have a Minimum Reward Seat Guarantee?

    I fully support @Mattg proposal and have voiced that opinion on multiple threads here over the years.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Mrs SS has earnt a Qantas award choice of 50SCs or 8k points. She has already maxed out on the 20k points from flying but wonder if the award points will count towards PC qualification or whether they count in the flying bucket. Anyone know for sure?

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    In my experience; 1). Yes. 2). No idea but has never worked for Mrs SS requesting for me or the cygnets. Only successes have been for herself.
