    Finding discount paid J fares AU-EU

    If positioning on Jetstar from MEL-SIN to catch a flight on a seperate booking to Europe, is 24 hours considered long enough between flights to allow for potential delays on JQ?

    Five-digit flight numbers?

    Not a new problem, been discussed at IATA level for 5 years or so.The standard for a number is set in the IATA document - Standard Schedules Information Manual and is up to 4 numerics (letters that occur after the number are called 'an operational suffix related to flight number'. This won't...

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    Spot on, ABF made it happen once the money and direction from government was there. Not much of a choice, they do set minimum requirments on layout,infrastructure they need etc.

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    Fair enough, was unaware of that purchase. I think entrusted is a bit strong of an adjective. I reckon contracted is more appropriate. But I'm a bit of cynic with these sort of things having spent years in system and vendor management space with the public service.

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    They certainly are not, Amadeus send PNR data on behalf of their client airlines, but have no role or input on ABF/ HA systems or processes. SITA are contracted to run the APP system, which starting from scratch now probably wouldn't be the case as their infrastructure was the quickest way to...

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    That was not ABF doing something special for QF. It was QF and WA interests putting up money, lobbying the political side of Government, who in turn instructed the admin side (ABF) to make it happen. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but it wasn't ABF saying lets help QF get a commercial...

    Is the Australian Landing Card Still Necessary in the Written Form?

    What information will be on a non govt app? A QR code which if deciphered or followedwill have secondary processing codes (out the door, go the Quarantine etc) and some bio information which the airline already has. I'd have more concern( even then not a great amount) of the contractors used to...

    We’re launching a Qantas Status Run service + free giveaway

    Absolutely interested. Godsend to those like me who prefer not faffing around with dates and routes trying to find the elusive balance between $$ and SCs.

    Ask The Pilot

    Air traffic controllers sacked for bullying and sexual harassment It wouldn't surprise if some people behaving in ways outlined on this report were made redundant instead of dismissed or disciplined. It's easier to do in some cases although more $$ up front.

    Question about Domestic/intl flight

    Try the call centre? QF website doesn't support mixed class itineraries for QF to QF connections, so unlikely to support QF-JQ (for revenue fares). Help and Support | Qantas

    787 or A380 to USA

    Good points, although the OP is flying Economy.

    787 or A380 to USA

    Ditto. I've always found the 'environment' on a 787 much the same as A380. Still feel but like a zombie after a dozen hours on both, with the 380 much quieter. Perception or reality I don't know.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    If there is I class available (understand it is bit more nuanced than this), is it viable for a WP to request a seat upgrade for non WP family member who gets put on the waiting list when they try to use points for an upgrade on a domestic flight?

    Fiji Airways July 2025 seats not being released.

    As you are seeking revenue flights, this reply is redundant, but my thinking was maybe FJ were not releasing reward seats yet due to expected demand.

    School holidays in the east coast states?

    Fiji Airways July 2025 seats not being released.

    There are FJ reward seats for last week of June, so reckon it's unlikely. Never say never though.

    Fiji Airways becomes full oneworld member and adopts AAdvantage program

    The official reply from QF is the partner must be on QF,JQ or oneworld metal to be guested in.

    Fiji Airways becomes full oneworld member and adopts AAdvantage program

    Thanks, Part of me says that * note refers to the WP gaining entry not the guest. Otherwise, what's the point of the first point re guest eligibility? Its not like QF to have clear as mud explanatory information contradictions published is it. 🤷‍♂️
