    QFF Membership Year definition? plus appalling QFF call centre service

    I have heard stories of people managing to cancel and re-sign up.. not sure if it's actually possible (or even what the T&Cs claim).

    Sounds like another false alarm, sigh

    For those who have been comped status

    Earlier this year I started a new job with quite a bit of travel for internal meetings (most of us work remotely). Starting with 0SC & Bronze (hadn't flown much for a few years, but been silver previously and a member for 10 years) -- I flew 510 SC in Y between 30 Jan & Aug 1 which is right on...

    AMEX not accepted or surcharge

    I am sortof happy about the new RBA surcharge rules. The rules are interesting in that you cannot charge an average fee, only the exact fee for that card type, or the lowest of all card types you accept. I also understand why they have the fees in some industries, PC hardware has been one one...

    2016 F1 Thread

    This is honestly what I expected out of Baku after all the issues in practice & qualifying.. not only general breakdowns but nearly clipping some of the hard walls, etc... then went off without a hitch lol

    Now Boarding ... Chicken or Beef?

    This confused me flying QF in Y on the way to london, made no sense. Was in J on the way back and it suddenly made a lot more sense. They went on about it in person about 3 times separate to the safety video so much have been a big problem or at least focus.

    Maiden to Married name on Tickets

    Changing in Frequent Flyer won't make changes to tickets. 30 seconds of googling suggests to me that they will need to cancel & re-issue the tickets to change the name, but they might waive the fees in doing so. so I would suggest staying on hold for another two hours :-)

    Has anyone flown Qantas business to London lately

    Flew DXB-LHR in J earlier in the month.. menu was as above, I got the chicken schnitzel sandwhich for supper and would highly recommend it. Cooked breakfast has no bacon, so I gave that a pass.. however the non-cooked options are quite nice (unlike in Y). Highlight was the waffles with...

    OneWorld Emerald luggage allowance on QF marketed ticket and EK metal

    A few notes: (a) A quick search suggests that EK don't actually operate a direct SIN-SYD flight, but codeshare a QF metal flight SIN-SYD (EK5062). You may however fly EK metal ex-SIN if you transfer through some other airport like PER or MEL. (b) Best I can tell Qantas allowance would be...

    Looks like quite a bit of stuff has just taken off recently, so hopefully you'll be back on track shortly.

    Which cards have you applied for this year (2016)?

    ANZ QFF Black.. primary motivator was however Apple Pay (which I use more than my actual cards, leave the home without my wallet most of the time). Did want (and didn't currently have) a QFF card though. Despite the good points earn, I could really do with pairing it to something else for...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! It can do, in some cases. Because SCs are usually calculated per flight segment and rounded it can work out better. For example I recently flew PER-xSIN-xDXB-LHR because it netted me 75SC instead of 60SC. Price was the same and it was 25h vs...

    Priority Pass - BNE lounge

    Yep :( Interesting to see them open an independent lounge in Australia! Sydney is they only other one but they appear to be operating the AMEX and Sky Team lounges with no direct brand and despite direct sales to the Sky Team lounge, no Priority Pass. Though the price is $66/2h or $130/5h...

    A380 routes to/from USA

    Something Qantas do have in Y, is a small self-serve section for soft-drinks and snacks. I honestly quite like that.

    where to use Q club pass

    For clarity, the QF Lounge at LHR is run by British Airways, as a partner/associated lounge. So these passes are not valid for that. See here: Lounge Locations | Europe | United Kingdom | London Heathrow Airport | Assosciated Lounges | British Airways

    Bonus Sign Up offer from FlexiroamX - a new alternative to a Travel SIM

    Looks dead on to me, I've used 1.1GB so far... I got about 400MB free so far including referral bonuses and paid for 1GB (Seems I accidentally streamed some videos yesterday, woops.. but it matches up against my iphones recording of usage).

    DFW arrivals compared to LAX?

    My personal tip, is that if you are transiting on to another destination... you need to clear security before you can get the train to the other terminal. This was poorly sign posted and not clear to me, once I figured it out I got to join the back of a very long 1+ hour TSA line. Doh.

    Bonus Sign Up offer from FlexiroamX - a new alternative to a Travel SIM

    Will this beats the 100MB offer code I was posting also.. :-) First trip using this for me, so far tried in SIN, DXB and all through London. Generally it's working very well, and got 20+mbit/s on 4G in Singapore. The only gripe I have is that my iPhone 6S (Plus) seems to frequently drop...

    Luggage allowance on mixed class travel?

    I believe that you would get Economy allowances for the internal flights, basically it's re-assessed every time you check bags. Luggage fees can be quite hurty, so you should definitely check your weight and maybe take a set of travel scales with you. It surprises me how easy it is to go from...
