Should be mine too but I couldn't beat the route & time FR offered for these flights.

BNE dom next 5 mins :) So over the same tiresome food offerings in every VA Lounge. Would it kill the local staff to offer one unique offering each for some tiny bit of variety!

Selected "randomly" for explosives testing (as happens to me 80% of the time) at CBR when I was cutting it fine for a VA sector to MEL. First test positive so we started a long series of retesting. From the CBR security entry I could watch my flight board and close. My name was called over the...

As I have a few FR flights booked, that is genuinely concerning.

Well it must be coming up to renewal time for the "new" Accor rules, under the calendar year status points calculation. As an Accor WP now, currently in a Sofitel, who has already earned over the required status points to requal on 31 December 2017, i could only chuckle at how badly Accor does...

For my impending US trip I've settled on Tmobile and will buy on arrival - saving about 20% on the SimCorner equivalent, but won't have any access to phone or data until I get it - Google tells me theres a Tmobile shop right across the street from my hotel! Not sure but I assume US carriers...

It seems most people compare the value of award flights (points + $) against the cost of the same QF flight (and sometimes adjusted to allow for points and SC that would otherwise be earned). IMO the value must be compared against the closest equivalent flight option, including other...

Do you know why? Eg. Is your name difficult for some check-in staff to spell or ... how shall I say this diplomatically... would you say you might fit a profile? FWIW, I get asked about 5% of the time. My name is fairly common in Australia, and my profile is prob the least interesting from any...

Your passport is valid ID for domestic travel.

Thanks for the info and reminder. I'm vaccinated but wouldn't have a clue where my certificate is. Anyone know where you can get a replacement certificate or do I just need the vaccine again (or do a test to confirm immunity like the TB test).

Yep, I never expected to book it but had a data point relevant to this thread in another tab so thought I'd mention it :cool:.

I hope MrsG is ok and has a speedy recovery. You take care too, even if you weren't involved in the collision, it must have been a shock for you as well.

Navigate to the page you want to "bookmark" on your phone, eg. What's New. Then use the "add to home screen" function. When launching AFF it goes right to new posts. Alternatively, if you meant that after reading a thread you then want to quickly return to the list of new posts, these are my...

Thanks for the heads-up on this @Irishbazz which makes it a bit more complex getting the UK version to use in IE before I travel to LON the following week! Data point, I found Vodafone.ie have a SMART EXTRA pay as you go plan, 20 Euro with 4 week expiry has 6GB data and includes EU roaming to...

Thanks @Bill W. I hadn't come across OneSimCard before. Found their deals quite restrictive and overall more expensive than some of the other options here (for my needs). If I were travelling frequently to quite varied destinations it would be ideal. The option of Personal Extra Number (PEN)...

Just did a dummy booking, simple BNE-CBR sector... TT total price $139 pp, VA $213, QF $250...QF classic award 12,000 pts + $87 tax. In short, blowing 12,000 pts would save $52 or 0.4c per point. No thanks. Even wasting 35k points on an ASA would be better, same point value but at least you get SC!

I'm not sure if this is related but - in the booking screen where flight options are showing - I can't click on anything related to Frequent Flyer login, eg. "View in Points" or selecting a Classic Reward seat. The page seems to want me to login, but I am already logged-in. Options just remain...

As a QF WP flying QF ticket & metal will I have access to: 1. Any LAX arrival lounge? Even a partner lounge. 2. LAX J or F on departure? 3. For either of the above, can I guest my partner and 4 y/o child travelling on same flights? Thanks in advance. This thread is too long (at 20 posts per...

This is the new Qantas... literally the moment you step off the aircraft all the smiling FAs and "call Australian home" flag waving is done, over, kaput... in essence, you're a liability. It is a shame that "fob off and hope they go away" accounts for majority of the QFF customer experience...

How long is it taking for stays to appear in your "Accelerate" progress page. My recent Brisbane stay was posted almost immediately in my IHG "Recent Activity" but still hasn't shown up in the "Accelerate" page. How long would you wait before chasing it up?
