    How does Classic upgrade rewards work?

    Also, assuming you're bronze, while it's not impossible it would be pretty unlikely to manage an upgrade to J on a premium long haul route. You might get an idea from this thread.

    Help regarding grossly inflated airfare now on special

    IIRC that was only allowed for specific COVID credits. I believe the general rule is equal amount or higher, and you can split the passengers into separate PNRs/vouchers

    Early Qantas Domestic to Board 30 Minutes Beforehand (8am and Earlier 737 departing MEL/SYD/ADL/BNE/PER)

    I don't have a problem with them having more generous weight limits over JQ and VA, but they should at least actually weigh them consistently and ensure dimensions and bag counts are within the rules.

    Has flying J ruined you?

    Isn't Ms Sudoer flying JAL F soon? You'll ruin her from the get go 🤣

    Has flying J ruined you?

    After about mostly domestic flights in Y (and a return Y from BNE>LAX on the A330 which was by far my worst Y experience) we used points from churning to fly BNE>LHR on QR Qsuites, and back from CDG>SIN in EK F (A380). Both flights were an amazing experience - have since tried to use points for...

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    When it happened to us we naively assumed a name correction would be fine - but that's not the case for partner bookings. My wife didn't issue a new birth certificate (no need to actually change the name), so while it was a little hassle, she was still able to obtain a new passport in her...

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    Not sure how the birth certificate comes into play with a name change due to marriage - did she go through with an actual name change which issued a new birth certificate? If you can't issue a new passport with the name on the booking, your only option might be to cancel them. For the reward...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    From ET's article: Sounds like it'll at least be enforced by design.

    Reward Flight Questions

    190k for business, sounds like Classic+ not Classic Rewards. Also, Qatar is very difficult to find reward availability through Qantas.

    Recent SYD-MEL fly-ahead/standby experiences?

    I've never been offered it (in the app) in Brisbane, Sydney almost always when flying in the evening, especially on a Friday, and have had it appear a few times out of Melbourne in the afternoon. From my experience I've always been offered an earlier flight if I ask nicely at the lounge...

    How early can I enter domestic Qantas lounge?

    Yep for $116 it is absolutely not worth it.. Expect salads, a toasted sandwich and basic beer and wine. Airtrain is $55 for two to Eagle Junction if you book online. Spend the remaining $61 at a cafe (Let Minnow is great) and you'll be immensely more satisfied and enjoy a couple hours out of...

    How early can I enter domestic Qantas lounge?

    Definitely give this a go, I've had pretty good success with this if you're friendly and early.

    CR strategy to Europe with infant

    Thanks all for the great advice. I had forgotten about Finnair and their new J lounge style seat. Our plan would be to visit Scandinavia / Central Europe so flying into Helsinki and nearby would actually be very convenient. I might look into focussing on flying via SIN or other East Asian...

    Best Economy Seat Qantas A330-300 Economy

    My guess would be 44B and J. At least on the A333 the 2nd exit row aisles have unlimited legroom. The window seats (A and K) are very cramped though.

    CR strategy to Europe with infant

    My wife and I are planning on travelling to Europe in Nov-Dec 2025 with an infant (under 1yo). While we'd be happy buying a return PE cash fare, it'd be great to try and get some value out of 400k QF points with SG status. I'm interested in other AFF'ers experiences travelling with infants in...

    WARNING : Cancellation of one leg of a status booking, error with Qantas system

    This is why it's often useful to book international reward flights as separate one way bookings.

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but you can't change the name on those code share rewards flight. We made the mistake last year - EK and QR J rewards then a number of paid cash flights. My wife ended up reissuing her passport back into her maiden name (for a fee) so we could travel...
