    Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

    I visit AFF throughout the day very frequently (imho) but just look for new posts, so the 'new posts' link is essentially the only way I get here. So I don't see the credit card or other pages mentioned at all. Having said that, I've just clicked to revert to the old look for the first time...

    Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

    Another vote that this blue is very hard to read. The below text, both black and blue, is hard to read against the purple. And the toolbar looks extremely ghosted out and disabled.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Didn't get it here. Wonder if these are planned out well in advance and sent out by a third party? It should have been paused otherwise it reeks of tone deafness.

    Article: Should Airlines Keep Lounges Open for Delayed Flights?

    Great points brought up on this thread. It's not just a simple "Yeah bloomin' oath they definitely should." Of course I want lounge access if my flight's delayed - to be kicked out is just salt in the wound. I kind of agree with the point it's the airline's problem to get their staff to stay...

    Taken QF General Lounge Invitations × 2 expiring 8 August 2025

    I have two Qantas General Invitations to give away, expiring 8 August 2025. If you are interested, please post in this thread - do not PM. Strong preference for long-standing and contributing members, as opposed to just wanting freebies. Once I nominate the recipient(s), naturally you'll...

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

    Getting OT but they told me the spa closed at 5pm a couple of weeks ago

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Yet another for almost the full bingo card, save for meal preference (I’ve never put one down) :(

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

    Has anyone seen this 'F is no longer VIP' in the other F lounges? Qantas can decide who it recognises but I'm sure my commercial value (especially as a status runner) is far below regular full-fare F buyers, so it's a bizarre decision. I'm with those saying it's a miscommunication but you'd...

    Qantas Complimentary Lounge Pass Discussion

    Some experiences here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/unable-to-link-complimentary-lounge-invitation.103847/post-2401578 And a writeup here: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-complimentary-lounge-invitation-limitations/ Can be frustrating to not be...

    What's your golden travel rule?

    That reminds me of someone else’s rule I read - pack only the absolute barest essentials of clothes you’ll think you need. Then halve that, and also take double the amount of money you think you need.

    What's your golden travel rule?

    Get to the airport and gate early, and don't rely only on the times on apps/screens/via announcements.

    Airports absurdly close to the city

    Yes, post 51. I live vicariously through all these places I haven’t been to, Gibraltar included!

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    This will probably become very relevant again… Wonder if there’ll be significant impacts on the kangaroo route among other flights.

    What's behind your AFF user name?

    I couldn’t come up with anything better or witty. It’s been a placeholder (to denote I’m a fan of flying, not that I’m a cooling device) to this day. I used to have an even worse handle, eastflyer (because I’m on the eastern seaboard). I’d like a wittier handle - something like finalcall...
