    Has it got much harder to get decent points value for 2024?

    I am not what availability is like, but Virgin/Velocity now have a tie-up with ANA, so could definitely look at transferring some of your Amex points to Velocity for Tokyo flights. Plus I believe there is a 20% bonus on transfers to Velocity from Amex at the moment.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    This is a slightly different issue (or perhaps a sub-class of the same issue) - QF for a while have deliberately blocked people adding domestic sectors to major airports (eg. Syd, Bris, Melb, Perth) onto an international reward flight from or into another major airport. It is a form of...

    Might also note you can book each flight as soon as it is released with separate bookings, as opposed to having to wait for the last flight to be released with a single booking.

    Qantas classic reward seat release

    I think things are pretty variable at the moment. In the middle of the year I picked up 3x J for SYD-NAN-YVR on FJ at 10am at 353 days. For some reason no return flights from YVR ever opened up on FJ (or QF). About a month later I got 3x J for LAX-SYD on QF12 at 10am at 353 days (although...

    Qantas classic reward seat release

    Ignoring the above responses (which are accurate), IME the time seats are released is 11am AEDT or 10am AEST.

    Bonus Points and Family Pooling

    Couldn't you also have her apply for the card and then just transfer you the points?

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Pretty sure it is 13 for the wellbeing app. I can't really see a reason you couldn't transfer them some points/cash (if they don't have them) and have them do the normal easy steps to get the leaves?

    Flight to Malaysia (KL) - looking to spend lowest amount of points

    Probably not worth using points on this one, when you can get one-way flights from ~$190 incl taxes on Scoot if you are flexible with dates.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    About a month or two ago I managed to have a SYD-CBR connection added onto a LAX-SYD reward flight after the fact using FB Messenger.

    Best way to get some points

    I tried a bit, but QF call centre basically said call Westjet, and their website said no (using the booking ref). I figured there is no real chance of QF being able to force them to give it to me, and didn't want to pay for baggage myself when I turned up at the airport and then try to get...

    Best way to get some points

    As a bit of an aside - I recently booked Westjet economy reward flights through QFF, and despite it clearly stating a number of times during booking that baggage was included, it did not include any when checking QF Manage My Booking or on the Westjet website. These were Canada to USA flights...

    Sixt - Loyalty Program?

    How did you actually do this? I tried through a google link but it seems to be US based and nothing ever came of it.

    I got two of these within the first hour or so of listing a car on FB marketplace, exact same link address and everything.

    Using QF frequent flyer points to purchase American Airlines flights- does it include baggage?

    IMHO the AA website/booking reference is the key source here - obtain the AA PNR as outlined above, and see what it says. If it says no, then it doesn't include any. I had the same argument with Qantas after booking Westjet reward flights through QFF. It repeatedly indicated baggage was...

    AA domestic has always been at 330 days through QFF when I have booked it. Not sure on international but would assume it is the same.

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Can't speak for X/Twitter, but I have had a couple of issues dealt with via FB Messenger recently. One interaction involved them calling me for credit card details to pay some additional taxes. The person who called said 'I am XX we have been speaking on Messenger about YY issue', and she...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Gold definitely doesn't get Hobart, and I think Plats or higher have reported having to HUACA a number of times and still not getting Hobart.
