    Jetstar Flight Options Cheaper on Qantas.com

    was quite surprised to find 'seat and bag' fare on qantas.com ($535) cheaper than the equivalent on jetstar.com ($574) (Mel-Dps) - not much difference but always thought Qantas was higher, and it seems that the qantas.com booking includes QF FF points + status credits which the equivalent...

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    I just pay 2 x personal car registration fees in Vic on the card, will that count to the $4000 spend? I note 'government fees' are excluded but was unsure if a car registration was a 'fee'

    What's your Uber experience?

    its a catch 22 - certainly sometimes at MEL the queue for UberX is very long with few cars coming to pick up, so I thought reserve maybe better - perhaps this is more in peak hour rush as opposed to Sunday afternoon - but clearly the airport has stuffed up (again) the physical pick up...

    Possibility of reaching Platinum

    If you select a seat in Y often the seat next to you be blocked so it cannot be selected by another pax, but this can be released by check in personnel if needed for capacity reasons

    What's your Uber experience?

    yes in this instance I was disadvantaged by reserving as I had to wait and look at the long line of 10 UberX empty with no pax

    What's your Uber experience?

    yes given there was so many uberX lined up, and the stupid narrow entry at the new T1 rank, the uber reserve had to stay stall in a traffic jam until a security/customer service officer walked to the end to clear the cars...

    What's your Uber experience?

    Tried Uber reserve ex-MEL on Sunday around 2pm. Hit the 'I'm here' button once had bags, then stood for about 12 mins outside waiting whilst there was a long line of Ubers empty - watching the slow progress of my reserve uber making it to the pick up point - why could uber simply allocate the...

    Possibility of reaching Platinum

    The best benefits of plat are the Qantas first lounges as mentioned above plus access to EK first lounge in Dubai...and the welcome on board by CSM that you will get on EK and most OW airlines (but sadly absent from QF). The other benefit is the shadow seat which may be of benefit for Y class...

    Qantas rebooked Classic Reward itinerary - entitled to refund of difference in taxes/charges?

    slightly different query - I had CR flight MEL/SIN/DPS with last flight on 3K. As a result of the shutdown QF moved me to direct MEL/DPS flight which is great. There is a difference in taxes & charges (ie I paid via SIN which is high (circa $240) and now going direct which is low (circa $110))...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I think the Finnair product better when it has the proper Finnair mattress and pillows designed for the couch - the ill fitting Qantas mattress and pillows do not work with the hard product. I am still not a fan of a long day time flight when you are sitting most of the way - I find the lack...

    Strategies Flying Qatar/Virgin Australia

    I have tried the switching FF numbers before QR flights, using QF number for seat selection and then VA for crediting. It seems to work if you change it from QF to VA just before checking in and getting a BP. If you change it too long before checking in, you will lose the OW seat selection. In...

    Jetstar Asia to shutdown on 31 July 2025

    I have a 3K flight early July as classic reward - SIN-DPS last flight of the day, flight still shows as operating, but I am thinking of whether QF would change me to JQ36 (pretty much same departure time) - I am concerned that 3K will start cancelling/consolidating flights.
