    My WP renewal date was always June until the COVID events caused this to be shifted to 28th February (along with many others). The June date was because I attained WP during June over a decade ago.

    Assessment for requalification is based on 12 month periods from initial status level attainment date. Assessment for Qualifying (to a higher level) is based on the previous 365 days of travel. Here's an example. Between September 15th and September 28th last year someone earned 500 SC's and...

    I believe you are conflating issues. Once you attain a status you have 12 months to earn the needed SC to requalify that status. You might call that a "Benefit Period". To attain a status on any one day, the number of SC's earn in the previous 365 days are taken into account. Here's the...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    I tested this by searching online with multi segment (economy) before posting. MEL-(QF)-LHR-(AA)-LAX-(AA)-NRT-(CX)-HKG-(QF)-MEL - all stopovers. It priced at the oneworld award 35K mile price of 132,400. Went back and selected MEL-(QF)-LHR-(AA)-LAX-(FJ)-xNAN-(FJ)-NRT-(FJ)-HKG-(QF)-MEL and as...

    What's your golden travel rule?

    I can and have done so in a QF Business "Suite" - more than once. Discreetly done with effective use of the blanket.

    Indeed, the online tool does not currently 'see' FJ as a oneworld airline.

    That's always been a possible situation when qualifying for higher levels. I requalified WP in late January shortly before my end Feb review and now have bookings that would qualify me WPP in mid-January, taking that travel again into account. I.e. That January 2025 travel should contribute...

    Los Angeles (LAX) Transit Questions & Tips

    Once you collect bags at the arrivals level you will then be landside. It's nicer to then use an elevator/escalator to head up to the departures level walkway, head left once outside and around the road to TBIT. If it’s raining you can stay down at the arrivals level and use the transfer bus...

    Qantas' Schedule Change Fails MCT at SYD

    I believe to read MCT, one first ignores the ONLINE/OFFLINE content then read down the list until a match occurs. In the case of QF588 to QF63 the first match is this line: QF-QF DI 1.30 TRM 3 - 1

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I received both emails; originating as described by @Princess Fiona . The only thing I could really do is change my email address; fortunately I was planning on doing this anyway as I was preparing in the next few months to break the shackles of the ISP email I have been using for three decades.

    What cheeses me off

    I have just returned from a staycation in Melbourne CBD. Near the hotel in a laneway and just off little Bourke street is an automated recyclable collection.
