    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    I booked SYD <> HND Flex Y 240 SC. Considered doing via MEL for the extra SC but I knew i'd be hating life if I did that to myself. It wasn't very good value $2850 (used $450 amex credit to take it to $2500) but its a trip I plan on taking anyway, and hopefully I can get the upgrade to J to make...

    Qantas double status credits OR double points offer [book 23-28 March 2023]

    Webjet flights provide SC right? I have an Amex offer I'm considering using during DSC.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    I think the website is getting smashed tonight - probably with the DSC offer. Its been very slow and more buggy than usual.

    Traveling Business - directed to use Qantas Club at BNE Domestic

    I went through BNE twice in Jan and both times was asked to produce boarding pass to enter J lounge - as a gold flying J. I don't believe it was scanned, just looked at.

    789/388 Broken Business Suites Rife - PAX Involuntary moved

    While not the exact issue of the thread, this seat will likely contribute to a future person being bumped. I just got off QF82 SIN > SYD yesterday seated in J, and found my seat was in a pretty bad way. It wasn't "broken" but the support had started to go, when I would lean my weight into it it...

    Entertainment Lounge Experiences

    Yeah I have been a to a few of these and the food and drink has always been a paid offering. The only "on us" part is the entry to the lounge. Depending on the event sometimes its good just for a place to use the toilet and order without a long line, other times the entertainment lounge has felt...

    Qantas Premier Platinum Credit Card Instalment offer

    Holding a balance doesn't affect your rating. Missing minimum payments by due dates is what will affect your rating. As long as holding a balance doesn't give you a taste and you continue the habit after earning the points, it looks like a decent deal. Looks like QF money is dropping a few...

    789/388 Broken Business Suites Rife - PAX Involuntary moved

    A friend who was coming to meet me had this occur today. They were on the a330 QF81, J, bronze, reward seat. Was moved to QF1 first class. They said they had conflicting stories from the call centre vs airport and took a while to get answers but the outcome of first on a380 is a pretty good deal.

    New Amex statement credits

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    Same. I’m platinum, but only obtained platinum last year. Seems I only got the gold amount of 250, should I have got 500 instead?

    New Amex statement credits

    Only for “new” customers. If you click through the returning customers is much lower. Yes 12.5% for new customer is very high.

    Qantas to fly to Cooma

    Yeah I’d be interested to know if services to OOM will resume this winter.

    QF A350 First

    It looks like the IFE is positioned on the wall behind the chair. So this means no IFE during taxi, take off and landing? Also looks like flying backwards when sleeping. While just lying down during cruising probably isn’t that noticeable, Id still prefer to be faceing forward. It doesn’t look...

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    Looks like this move is going across all cards. Just received the same email 20 minutes ago about my QF Amex Ultimate Card for the $450 credit. My main concern about this change is what if you make a mistake with the transaction (not enough spend) and the credit doesn’t apply. Today you know if...

    Qantas Block Partner Earn on Competitor Routes

    QF are really making themselves hard to love. A solution is join BA executive club and credit to BA on both QF and QR. As far as I am aware BA don’t do any reduced earn gymnastics for OW members?

    Qantas Block Partner Earn on Competitor Routes

    Agreed. If I am a QR member clearly id fly VA now. But I think this on purpose QF clearly want to be as far away from QR as possible despite being in the same alliance. QF seemingly want to avoid the situation of paying for status earning on their flight but then the benefits can be used on VA...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all in the Qantas lounge...

    I do think Qantas Club dress code (when enforced) is on the stricter side so I would be ok with a slight reduction. That being said I do think there should be a minimum standard of dress and PJs don’t fit that. Something like footwear, not an excessive amount of skin showing (I’m talking muscle...
