2013 has taken me to the following international airports: Asia-Pacific BKK, SIN, KUL, HKT, USM, HKG, TPE, KIX, NRT, GUM, ICN Europe MUC, TXL, ZRH, FRA Americas & Africa EZE, AEP, MVD, SCL, BOG, JNB All personal travel, with 12 of them new ports, a very memorable year for me.

Not too many options will return of you plug in OZ-Sth Am. as your search. you need to go via Nth America, Europe or Africa. Examples: SYD-LAX-EWR-EZE SYD-YVR-YYZ-SCL/EZE SYD-ICN-NYC-xx_ SYD-BKK-FRA-xx_ SYD-BKK-FRA-LIS-GRU SYD-BKK-JNB-xx_ SYD-AKL-PER-JNB-xx_ Yes some very crazy routes, but...

Got the email today too, just put in my claim. Nice Christmas bonus!

If this is an official new policy by QF, then absolute garbage!!! I would be prepared to cause a big scene at the lounge if this ever happened, unless the website T&C's stated this. If this is indeed a new QF policy, what's to stop a person not entering a FF number in booking, showing their...

Yes just 1.

For a moment I thought Darwin Airlines was an Australian airline lol. They fly to mostly secondary destinations. This is being reported as positive as it takes the Etihad brand to ports that are too small for EY to serve, the opposing view could be too small to make any significant impact.

Great work. I just came back from a very similar itinerary in Oct (which I forgot to post here). Instead of HKG, I had NRT-TPE(overnight transit)-BKK. 4 day stopover in KIX, including nice side trip to Kyoto. My original itinerary was: SYD-BKK (TG F) BKK-KIX (TG F) - 25 hr stopover ITM-cough (NH...

PER-xSYD-JNB lol On the bright side, it's all QF metal and more QFF points.

Though there are some shortcomings: - no champagne for WP/F pax - limited non Asian selection (not an issue for me personally) - crowded in peak times (of lounge had this issue too). Despite this, IMO the new lounge is a significant improvement to the old offering. I recently visited ANA KIX...

Very well said. For me, the comfort if a relaxing seat, nice drink and snack is what a lounge is for. Yes a great hot meal is nice but is a bonus. An International lounge is a little bit different, more substantial food as well as comfort is expected.

That's interesting. This could either be a one-off case by the lounge dragon (angel) not knowing the OW rules, or a case of general CX unpublished soft benefit.

A few years ago I had the IB lounge in MAD all to myself for almost an hour before a coue of people showed up, around midday. It was not in the main terminal, maybe the satellite one.

Good to see ANZ giving OZ and PER some love. Wishful thinking, but imagine if it continued onto LON.... For new plane lovers on the east coast. Let's do EK A380 to AKL, then connect to PER :)

Got the offer too today. I had participated in last months share offer, as well as the previous 100% buy bonus offer. Also redeem points for award flight in Oct, if that helps identify trend of whom this offer is being targeted too.

That's plain and simple bit good enough by QF. It's not like there are too many QF F passengers to manage, come on QF. On many occasions I have seen reserved signs on tables, which were then taken up by passengers whining assume we're flying F. My one and only experience flying QF F out if Syd...

Hi Martin, hopefully not too late to join in the fun. I'll be in Melbourne Wed night for work, staying at the Novotel on Collins. Flying back to SYD Thu night, but managed to get the last 9pm flight. Will drop by at approx 6-7:30 for drinks. Thanks for organising, look forward to meeting everyone.

Re: Rumour:[Denied by RR] Qantas to ban JQ SYD-MEL pax from F lounges & send to J lou Would be dissappointed if JQd access to F lounge is removed, a nice little perk for WP's, but fair enough IF QF decide to do this in the future. As a general comment, I still don't understand why some people...

Transited through KUL in June this year. EK flight from MEL arrived in Satellite terminal, connecting flight departing from main (regional) terminal. SG/J access at the time. I had read online that Satellite lounge much better than regional, off I went to Satellite J lounge. Angel reminded me...

Agree the QF bar/lounge area is not extravagant, but I still appreciate the space to get up and about. A few years ago in overnight SIN-LHR flight, I woke up early and could not get back to sleep. I went to the lounge for a stretch and chat and a couple of other early birds were there to chat...

My experience has been Qantas will not check baggage if doing and overnight transit in an oz port, even if arrive last flight in, and depart early next morning. Would be good to know official policy.
