    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Do I get my QF Gold baggage allowance benefits if I'm flying Qantas Melbourne to HKG and then HKG to Taipei via EVA Air? I'm looking to book on the Qantas website as one trip, and I am assuming the baggage will be automatically transferred onto the 2nd leg.

    Advise needed on our itinerary below - Dubai, Maldives, where else?

    haha! it was actually her who thought the 5 nights in the Maldives might get boring. 5 nights seemed to me like the sweet spot for value since hotel award bookings offer 5th night free, and I have plenty of points to use. Perhaps i'll look for some day trips out of Dubai city.
