We're on QF108 JFK/LAX and then QF94 LAX/MEL 26 hours later so obviously that's okay as well. ...and before you ask, yes I know I can get more SC's flying AA JFK/LAX, but well... that means flying AA and I'd rather have 50 less SC's.

I took 52 flights last year and racked up 102K miles and 2,725 SCs. Nearly 40 of those flights were with Qantas. In addition I booked around 400+ flights for other people. I'm flying to Tokyo on Saturday on a DONE4 and yep... I'm gonna use the first class lounge. I'll be there for about...

I use my Vodafone blackberry as an alarm. Guess who woke up an hour late in Melbourne yesterday morning.

If I get I choice I alwasy opt for LGA. Closer to Manhattan, smaller and easier to get around and cheaper cab ride of course. I can't comment on the lounges there, never bothered looking.

I've booked 2 x DONE4 in the last 12 months. The first was work related with 16 sectors (quite a few added as a SC run) in May 07. The next one is a genuine 16 day holiday starting this Saturday and therefore just 8 sectors. Anyway, both of these were booked via Qantas and I paid over $11K...

Thanks turtlemichael. I did purchase the Ambassador card after the reservations - will see what happens. Will report back on all hotels at the end of course.

I look after 4 small businesses (1 is my own) and I'm employed by the other 3. For all four the policy is whY, but mostly because we send an average of 6 people per flight (there's approx 20 of us in the four businesses combined) and we book an average of 18 flight legs (x ave 6) a month. - too...

Is anyone familiar with the upgrade chances at any of the following hotels? I'm a Plat PC member and I just purchased IC Ambassador as it quotes "Guaranteed room upgrade at time of check-in" - let's see if it happens at the IC's then. I will report back of course. ANA Intercontinental...

Not sure I like the idea of eliminating WPs from Qantas F Lounges. That would mean if one took a trip SYD/LAX/SYD, that one could access the F lounge at LAX, but not the SYD one. That wouldn't seem fair.

Thanks Mal. I'll enquire about the express pass for sure

Thanks all for your suggestions. I have changed to QF400 which will give us an extra hour in Sydney and less stress too of course. Serfty: Any reason why you think the express pass won't be obtainable for the JL flight? It's a JL flight number but the whole flight was booked via Qantas.

Because we're from Melbourne so it's in our blood to avoid Sydney as much as possible :D I go to Sydney once a month or thereabouts already. Thats' about 10 times more a year than I'd like.

I should have been more specific on times. It's more like 1h25m in Sydney: Sat April 05 QF408 MEL 0700 / SYD 0820 JL 772 SYD 0945 / NRT 1720 I booked a DONE4 - I assume I can change the flight time for Mel/Syd quite easily? Other than 4 days off in Cairo last year, this is our first...

Thanks so much for that. I'll definitely remember to ask for the Express Passes at the transfer desk to help minimise transfer time. It's an early AM flight - I'm not so desperate for hubby to see the lounge that I'm willing to get up an hour earlier :)

QF408. Domestic.

I'm a platinum and hubby is a gold QFF. We're travelling business class MEL/SYD/NRT on Saturday. We normally fly direct internationally out of Melbourne. On this occassion, the MEL/SYD is a standard domestic flight so we'll transfer to the Sydney international terminal on arrival. With only...

We moved house and did only domestic travel Oct-Dec last year and I didn't log it, but I actually enjoy the way this post (thanks Lindsay) keeps you more aware of your activity. No international travel for me until May :) JAN 2008 QF MEL-BNE 859 miles 0 QFF points 0 SC QF BNE-MEL 859 miles 0...
