    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    I’ve found most if not all of the lounge staff will do it without being asked given the whole group boarding situation. Only once have I been told to come back but they easily did it before boarding so not a big deal. Contact centre staff can also do it and if you don’t won’t to call and wait...

    Qantas running an A380 on MEL-SIN in May 2025

    Do you have QF status? Logged in with my Platinum number I can select seats on the main deck (first cabin) in addition to the upper deck when selecting a business fare. Then when selecting an economy fare can select either the premium economy cabin on the upper deck or the economy cabin on the...

    Sydney Airport announces overhaul for T2 Domestic

    I asked this in another thread: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/rex-flypelican-departures-moving-to-syd-terminal-3.117078/ No answer but as MattG pointed out most accessing the Rex lounge use priority pass so I wonder if they'll keep it open for that. Rex will still...

    I think they'll move more staff downstairs to the temporary desks near the baggage claim, they are hardly used but are setup with kiosks and bag drop possible for both VA/JQ.

    Does Qantas still provide customer service via social media?

    I used messenger on Wednesday last week and got a response in about 6 hours. I’m guessing a lot of the mess in SEQ is causing the longer delays right now. Assuming what I’m trying to do isn’t urgent then messenger is my go to as I can type it all in and wait. If talking about an existing...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    This is correct you’ll be upgraded, the website does provide a clear enough explanation of it. Noting that the 1500 must be earned by you (family pooling doesn’t count).

    Qantas' Impending Change to Tokyo Flight Schedule

    I had something similar on an NRT flight. It gave some great self service options including rebooking on JAL instead of QF but I decided to cancel the reward seat instead.

    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    An E145 under the rego VH-JGS just flew from MEL-SYD and is scheduled to fly SYD-WTB, I guess 145s are curfew exempt or they'll be cutting it very close to curfew?

    Up to 30,000 (extra) bonus Velocity points with credit card sign-up until 30/4/25

    Yep no intention of opening a new card just curious and trying to understand the promo. QF has had similar in the past with a 20k bonus and that bonus comes from QF meaning just 1 point from the card needs to post to get the bonus.

    Up to 30,000 (extra) bonus Velocity points with credit card sign-up until 30/4/25

    Are the bonus points coming from Velocity or the card provider? For example if I open an Amex but already have one obviously won't get the Amex bonus but if this comes from Velocity would get the "extra bonus" points?

    Hong Kong Octopus Discussion

    Digging up an old thread here but I've just been charged a commbank cash advance fee for using octopus mobile. As the transaction was under the limit I was charged a flat AU$4 fee on the card.
