    Qantas Gold flying British Airways - Baggage allowance Question

    Thanks for the response, I think it should be 2 x 32kg luggage. But it also says "For everyone in your booking", this part is what I'm wanting to confirm if anyone knows.

    Trying to book a Reward flight MEL - HEL during end of year - results unavailable

    Thanks for the responses guys! So, I've just created an account on British Airways website to search for reward flights. Their search engine is much better than Qantas' If I'm not wrong, as long as I can find a suitable reward flight, I can call up Qantas to help me use QFF points to book it...

    Trying to book a Reward flight MEL - HEL during end of year - results unavailable

    Appreciate the response, is there a way to use QFF points to book a Rewards flight from one of the ports you mentioned such as HKG to HEL? It seems to be very difficult to try and get dates to match for a rewards flight for so many segments.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Not a major delay, but currently sitting on QF29 to HKG this morning. The 747 was taxiing out before it had to get rolled back due to one of the doors near me not being able to be armed. Engineers came on board fiddled around for about 15mins and it now seems to be working. 25min delay, no...

    Classic Reward Booking - result changes

    Thanks for the replies! There are some economy award seats available, but given the cheap fare price of under $1,000 plus my $400 travel AMEX travel allowance from my CC, I'm tempted to wait out for a business class award seat to use the points. May save my points for another trip!
