    free Newcastle-Melb flight 5th July

    Unfortunately this is a budget ticket booked by work, no official name changes allowed without a surcharge. I'm happy to share the risk if anyone is willing to adopt the boarding pass as my own, but that's about all I/we can do from our end. Not a glamorous offer I know..

    Bangkok (BKK) lounge recommendations

    Hi all, I know this has been brought up a few times already but it seems a succinct answer is hard to find.

    Thoughts on claiming reimbursements for FF tickets

    Haha, yeah I can see why you would think that. The $1300 was a (bad) hypothetical... That said, I wouldn't be far off considering I live in Tasmania and cash tickets get pretty expensive 1740970237 Excellent strategy!! Thanks

    Thoughts on claiming reimbursements for FF tickets

    Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on claiming a cash reimbursement for a flight they might have booked using FF points? For example, a conference would offer $x reimbursement in 'travel costs'. A flight might cost $1300 (for example) but I can use 25,000 points instead + taxes. Have...

    Sub-forum for freebies?

    I'm not sure if this is to do with my internet browser, or simply becoming older and more computer illiterate, but it seems the "free" section on this forum has disappeared for me. It looks like we're about to embark on another big push of planning trips for this year, which means we might have...

    Does anyone know if we can access HK Int. Qantas lounge with complimentary pass, is flying Cathay?

    as per title. We are looking at booking a rewards flight Melb-Amsterdam via hong kong. It looks like the second leg has a Cathay ticket code (CX271) and I can only assume this won't change to a Qantas ticket code once we book it. However given this is booked through qantas, is a qantas lounge...

    Next Qantas CEO: Vanessa Hudson

    I'm probably showing my age here, but Alan Joyce has been CEO of Qantas all of my adult life, and there haven't been many changes to the company's loyalty programs other than a few additions here and there. Anyone have any thoughts on how someone from a finance background will lead the company...
