    Qantas Entertainment App: Is it worth installing?

    I would, well have. I like options, so I've got it installed on my iPhone (never used) and iPad Pro (have used) and have used the enterainment 'portal' on my laptop. If there's no seatback IFE, then I prefer to use my device to a QF supplied iPad.

    Is QF considering Lifetime Platinum?

    Having read all the comments here and on ausbt, there's no doubt QF are losing at least a little revenue from not having LTP, though whether it's enough to warrant it's intro is a complex business analysis question that QF may just not be bothered calculating (other lower or bigger hanging...

    Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

    Yup, I've done it. Though I split the return to an o/n in Sydney. :-) Since it's the same plane you can't miss it. :-P

    Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

    Hmmm, might be a gotcha for me - I received a targeted 50% bonus SC offer yesterday morning for bookings made 31 Jan - 6 Feb and naturally registered straight away. So now I'm thinking that registration will take precedence over the current double promo which I've just registered for? Any thoughts?

    Ditto. More than happy for QFF to have my answers, particularly as some of my answers were intended for that audience... :)

    10,000 Bonus QFF Points for opening an IG Share trading account

    Seems quite hit or miss, I registered on a Wednesday earlier this month, bought on the Thursday and my 10k +25 came through the next Monday.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Halliday gave the 2015 a good rating, not sure about the 2016 but I ordered a case anyway It's still 'processing' at epiQure, will let you know when it arrives as I'll be cracking a bottle straight away. BTW, just noticed Dan's sells it for $20 bottle, $19 in a six pack, so the 8000 points come...

    Misleading Qantas bonus points offer

    I agree on both accounts. My gut tells me that I've spent more than appears on the woolies tally, and likewise not worth the effort to chase up. I buy 700+ bottles of wine a year, so whenever epiqure has points bonus for wines I usually buy and at a similar price to Dan's then it's a no-brainer...

    Boeing vs Bombadier

    I suspect you're spot on. I've only been in a QF 717 once and I was glad I had my noise cancelling headphones. Still cracks me up though that Bombardier makes aircraft, they were the 'other' snowmobile company when I was a kid. :p

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Too tempting, ordered! During the 90's WW Church Block was my go to for a quaffing blend, then Miss Harry came along... :p

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Will do, should arrive next day or two. Apparently much of the vineyard is now 18 years old, so not so baby anymore! Might get a case of Miss Harry as well. Always a good 'un for a ready to drink cheapy-ish wine that's got some personality. :)

    Chasing the Qantas 787

    We flew on it yesterday - QF439. Funnily I had know idea before hand, thought we were flying A330 but when I was selecting seats was a little confused that I couldn't select a seat row lower than low-40s but once on-board saw the Y+ and the bigger windows and thought ah-hah! The plane we were on...

    Qantas and Uber - Points partnership

    I used it yesterday at SYD. Strange though that the pin drop was miles from the airport in the Uber app after clicking the Uber book button in the Qantas app and being passed through to the Uber app, even though I was standing in T3. Once I moved the pin and ordered, I was correctly directed to...

    Qantas and Uber - Points partnership

    Hasn't been a long time, several months now though. There are 3 'ride-sharing' lanes outside the ParkRoyal, so you just message the uber driver the lane number you're waiting at. Easy-peasy. It's a real boon for families as there are commonly Uber XLs waiting in the queue. Sick and tired of...

    Qantas and Uber - Points partnership

    They have for awhile now, we’ve taken Uber x a couple times now. They have an Uber x queue about 5min away and pickup is outside the hotel across the road from the terminal.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Got an interesting domestic status run question for the gurus here: Does anyone know how reliable delivery of checked in luggage is when doing a status run? Based in MEL, I to need to spend several days in SYD and am taking the opportunity to do a quick status run via OOL. So MEL-SYD-OOL-SYD...
