    Rex and its Saab 340s... what next?

    Keep the Saabs for up to another 10 years, pending electric aircraft. I'll re-mortgage the house to invest.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    But like the scenarios when call centre staff maintain the rules are X when in fact they are not, if they don't know how to do whatever needs to be done quoting a policy mightn't be much help. I've tried referring to websites etc this trying to get into the EK lounge at Sydney on a trans Tasman...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Separate PNRs on QF to QF should be able to through check. Linking them can't hurt but may not be needed. The time gap between flights may ( I don't know) be an issue. Is the one day stopover an overnight or same day? 24,36 hours that type of thing. They might not want to hold your bag past a...

    No priority seating for Qantas Platinum on Emirates Flights code shared with Qantas

    QF is hosted by Amadeus and EK self hosted so a duplicate booking sits in the operating carrier's system including a reference to the marketing carrier's record locator. But a separate record locator nevertheless. Many codeshare bookings are managed this way. Have read where the QF reference...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    You can contact QF and ask or complete the green tier qualifications. One of the green tier activities is carbon offset a flight, the flight does not need to be by 30 June. Just the offset payment I believe.

    Link Airways baggage

    Just guessing here without knowing aircraft specs, maybe payload concerns are behind the limitation?

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    Agree about the overall safety of the country being a consideration, I differ over qualities like religious or sexual identity freedoms ( or lack thereof) being a significant factor in the pilots decision making. If the airline does this in their policies and procedures, then all credit to them...

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    I think a passenger has some responsibility to try and avoid routes that have a reasonable chance of going to such places that they don't feel safe going to or feel strongly enough about. Acquaintances of mine have done this for years. It's a bit of a stretch for an airline to try and factor in...

    Classic Rewards available only when not logged into QFF account?

    I've seen Classic Reward showing on the top banner and find out its CR + when looking at the flights quite a bit - both logged in and out - for a couple of months. Also the 'lowest' $ fare is not always available for any flight.

    QF2 diversion to Baku

    All the crew have the same sign in time, so the clock ticks the same presumedly. I believe QF crews normally consist of 1 captain, 2 First Officers and 1 Second Officer, so not quite 2 sets of crew in any event.

    Budget Mystery Car

    Don't know about EV, but in one instance (not with Budget) I got a Hyundai Staria. While not a bad vehicle I did ask about any other vehicle available - not the easiest thing to reverse park and when you're the only occupant not what you need - and was told no other vehcles available. Truth or...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    If one booking is revenue and the other an award then through check to another OW carrier is excluded from the restriction according to that policy quoted. In practice there seems to be a mixed experience from posts in these forums.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    To my knowledge there is no phone menu option for release requests, so new points booking seems the most relevant.

    Australian Passport question

    Maybe an issue with the airline, the default view for some is need the 6 month minimum validity. A discussion or phone call will sort it but but best to be prepared for this at check in

    Regent returning to Australia and new InterContinentals in Australia

    A typo on my part - many MPs don't stay in hotels. The staffers and lobbyists is a different matter.
