    U Classic Reward - Downgraded with 24 hours notice

    That's pretty sad. But not unexpected for Qantas.

    I won't be in Australia then, but of course any other AFF member is welcome to plan a catch-up for then. ;)

    Using points to Solomon Islands

    If it's available to book with Alaska miles, it should also be available with Avios but you will have to call BA or QR to check/book.

    This increase didn't end up happening last year, but the domestic change/cancellation fees will now increase from $99 to $110 on 30 July 2025. https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/ticket/guides-and-information/change-fee-information.html

    Using points to Solomon Islands

    If there's availability with Qantas, you can book with either BA or QR Avios but it won't be possible to book online! The reason for this is that QF flights don't appear on the Qatar Airways website, and because this route is operated by QantasLink, it also won't appear on the BA website. I'd...

    MEL-SIN Jetstar "J" OW $609

    I booked a similarly priced Jetstar "business class" fare on this route last year, and paid the $200 more for the Max bundle to get the 125 SCs (and some points). I thought it was great for the daytime MEL-SIN flight. Qantas wasn't that much less in Y for a one-way ticket.

    Canberra lunch - Saturday 12 July 2025

    Called the restaurant, and it's all good. You've both been added to the booking :) The booking at Sammy's Kingston Foreshore is under the name "Matt" for 12pm on Saturday. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Just a heads-up for everyone that the restaurant doesn't allow BYO, unfortunately.

    How to opt out of adjoining hotel rooms?

    One thing I dislike with hotels is when you book a single room and get given an adjoining room. Sure, the door between the rooms is locked on both sides, but you can still hear a lot of the noise coming from the neighbouring room. Do the main hotel chains offer a way to state in your...

    Canberra lunch - Saturday 12 July 2025

    Oh, I might need to confirm with the restaurant. We now have several more people than what I booked for. I think it will be fine though.

    Not too late. I might have to amend the booking if we get any more takers though!

    QF10 Jul03 delay question

    Good question. This seems to be the plane: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/vh-znf But Flightradar24 doesn't show how it got from PER to LHR.
