    Amex Platinum Charge Card Travel Insurance

    Thanks Quattro. We have a family trip booked over Xmas/New years and we'll be flying JFK-LAX on AA in J connecting to LAX-BNE-SYD on QF in J. These were booked separately. The connection is approximately 12 hours but you just never know with weather at that time of year. Are there any insurance...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    I booked SYD-LAX QF17 in F on December 22nd to avoid the skybed. If the aircraft is updated then I may change to J as I don't see much of a difference between J and F on the upgraded A380. Thoughts?

    Any experiences with transfer times to CX? I recall last time I transferred it took the full 3 business days but wondering if it's now sped up.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Ramen broth was a bit flavourless but the pork was fork tender. Beef brisket needs a sauce as although its tender I found it dry. Club sandwich and S&P squid good as usual but the lamb bao was just ok. Chocolate cake and pavlova for dessert were both excellent.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Thanks snabbu. Will be heading in this weekend so keen to try a couple of the dishes but I agree with Berlin that the menu is lacking variety.

    QF-AA connection

    I was able to snag award seats for SYD-LAX-SYD (return via BNE) over Xmas and returning in the new year in F on the way over and J on the return (booked via QF). The plan is to book separate internal flights on AA in J to NYC and back and the JFK-LAX flight I have my eye on arrives at 12:41pm...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Thank you both. Unfortunately the 4.45pm and 5.25pm are the only flights which will work for me in terms of timing. I’ve found a seat on VA via ADL with a very short connection which works so I’ve booked that. I’ll ring Qantas daily to see if anything has changed as they’d be my preference due...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I’m trying to request a Y or J seat SYD-PER this Friday 30th August on either of their 2 late afternoon services but they won’t budge. They still have red e-deal seats for sale but apparently the correct fare code for requesting the classic seat isn’t available.

    My experience booking four round the world OneWorld reward flights with Qantas Reservations

    I feel a really underrated perk of Gold/Platinum status is being able to speak to the local premium phone support teams. I’ve booked my fair share of Oneworld awards and in my experiences the South African call centre was useless more often than not. Ditto for Manilla. The online chat was a...

    Lounge access for QF Platinum travelling on FJ

    We are flying on Fiji Airways LAX-NAN in business class in January which was booked as a QF classic award. I am QF Platinum so just wondering will I have access to the QF F lounge at TBIT? I recall from a few years ago that there was no lounge access for QF status members unless booked on a QF...
