    Discounts for Buying a New Sony Phone?

    Yeah, the HK/TW version has better 5G band compatibility within Australia, specifically because the JP version is missing band n7 and n26, and likely some CA combos involving those. I still ended up getting the JP version because it ended up being cheaper back when the Yen was weak + tax free...

    Discounts for Buying a New Sony Phone?

    The new Xperia 1 VI (I've got one that I picked up in Japan) works fine with VoLTE on Telstra. Regardless, I would strongly recommend against importing a non-AU phone unless you are aware of the technicalities of getting them working (if you that's even possible). Also, even though my Xperia 1...

    Chicken on last night's SYD-MEL. Not bad, wish there was a PDB though.

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    I assume Qantas Group are using the new aircraft as a chance to do their usual thing regarding employee benefits (I think the contract changes when they move to a new aircraft type?)

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Not sure if this is an IT issue or an intentional limitation, but it's currently 12pm and I have two flights coming up - one domestic at 5pm, connecting to an international flight tomorrow at 9am. Same PNR. Using Online Check-In and entering the PNR, it only shows me the the domestic flight. No...

    Question about Domestic/intl flight

    JQ and QF flights have seperate pricing tables so won't be priced together anyway. Even if it was QF+QF, I think it'll only charge you J points for the economy leg if that's cheaper than pricing as two seperate legs.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Every time I fly to/from Japan, I end up sitting around for at least 30+ minutes after finishing my Japanese entree before getting the main. The Japanese entree is always served before the other meals, and the main is always served after the other meals. I now avoid the Japanese meal if I know...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    IIRC There's two showers male, two showers female, and one unisex shower. The annoying thing is rooms are combination toilet/showers so people will hog them even if they're just using the toilet. Additionally, there are no paper towels just a cloth towel, so after someone uses the bathroom and...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I don't believe so, although I do wonder if it's smart enough to price the CRs instead of you're building an itinerary where it'll be cheaper (even if it won't be on an individual flight basis). Probably not.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    The multi-city tool may help, but again the domestic leg must be connecting to/from a Qantas international flight. You cannot add your QF number to a NZ flight unless you're booked on the QF Codeshare.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    You can only book certain domestic NZ flights (usually regional) when connecting from an international QF service. You cannot purchase domestic NZ flights by themself through QF/as a codeshare except as Classic Rewards (which won't be the QF codeshare anyway).

    Qantas First Lounge Syd vs JAL First Lounge HND?

    You can check in the luggage early yeah. Everything I mentioned is before immigration though.

    Qantas First Lounge Syd vs JAL First Lounge HND?

    I like the JL F Lounge, but wouldn't go through that early. I'd check-in your bags and then go check out the Haneda Airport Garden shopping mall, check out the Onsen at Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Haneda Airport, or go to the Terminal 1 observation deck which will offer you a great view of Mt...

    Latest QF App update shows call centre estimated wait times

    No, it's likely a case number generated by the app that lasts a short while before expiring. Your personal info will be linked to that case number, and will be pulled up by the agent when you call. You can generate one on web as well if you follow the flow in...
