    Qantas lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    They will by COS on a OneWorld airline as they have a J ticket.

    Qantas Seat Selection Costs

    SYD-MNL is probably A330 for the dates. QF have a nice little rort going for Row 30 which is the first row presented to an NB (it is actually the eighth row in economy) is a "preferred" seat that they charge for "to be closer to the front to disembark earlier". My bet is that they have...

    QF with Alliance Airlines [Connecting with QR at ADL]

    Whilst it probably ends up the same, as it is one ticket and connecting to International, the baggage allowance would technically be as per the Qatar website. Baggage allowance should be 40kg for J, and as it appears you have LTG there may be some additional baggage - but it is very murky...

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    Another long term holder and cancelled. Couldn't put all foreign purchases through it anyway (need to put car hire on Amex for insurance etc.) and the difference between zero foreign currency and the 3 to 3.5% but earning points, less all the hassle with dealing with Latitude means that the...

    Adding domestic leg to Qantas Rewards flight

    Or possibly phantom availability. A bit hard to guess what the website issue is (it has so many). The fact that the previous attempt that didn't meet MCT failed and said that was the reason gives some hope that it is not a block on a domestic connector.

    Adding domestic leg to Qantas Rewards flight

    That's when you call up to get it done over the phone - and get them to waive the assistance fee as the web site won't let you book it.

    Adding domestic leg to Qantas Rewards flight

    Does seem long, but it is the filed MCT for UL-QF D-I in Melbourne. They are the only incoming that QF have filed with such a long MCT - everything else looks like 90 minutes/

    Article: The Ultimate Qantas Economy Seat Guide

    The other thing you have to love about QF on these A330 - row 30 set as preferred seating ($20 trans Tasman) to "sit closer to the front so you can disembark faster". For a non-status, this is the first row shown in Economy, so probably lots of people thinking they are paying for the front row...

    Article: The Ultimate Qantas Economy Seat Guide

    Got to love QF consistency - may be free on the A330-300 on longer routes, but being charged on the A330-200 AKL-BNE and vice versa.

    QF New Zealand aircraft use

    Makes sense. Looks like the plane departs BNE for AKL at 9:05 arrives 15:15 local, turns around to depart back to BNE at 16:35 (scheduled for 80 minute turnaround), arrives back in BNE at 17:20, scheduled to depart for LAX at 22:00 (longer 4 hour 40 turn) which arrives 17:30 and then turns...

    QF New Zealand aircraft use

    QF119 BNE-AKL turns around and comes back as QF126. Looks like (at least for the one we are booked on in November) that it is (at least sometimes) the long haul version of the A330-200 with the seat back screens in Economy.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Yes. Depending on the bank that issued your card, and who Rex banked with, you may or may not encounter push back, but if goods or services are not delivered, that is ground from a credit card chargeback (but you would need to wait until after the flight was due to be taken). As most travel...

    Points strategy on a car purchase

    Disagree, That dealer sounds like they understand risk and are managing it appropriately, Selling something like a car you want to be sure of payment. Cash or bank cheque (provided not stolen) are guaranteed payment methods. Direct transfer into a bank account fairly safe as well. Credit...

    Passport with >6months remaining - Europe trip

    There is no leeway, but the requirements are straightforward. For Italy, Australian passport holders require the passport is valid for a minimum of 3 months beyond the intended stay. For the United Kingdom, the requirement is simply valid for the period of stay. You will be fine BUT it is the...

    Lay Over Times/Connection Times in US

    In other words, you wanted a cheap option that was not available. It is not that it is impossible to use QF points to get an award to LAS, just that it was not available to you. Airlines (not LCC) that offer other than point to point and protect when the segments are all on one ticket will...

    Lay Over Times/Connection Times in US

    What does the PDS for your insurance policy say? If it only mentions "connections" but the reservations are on separate PNRs then it is not actually a connection, but simply two separate flights. If they are willing to cover more than this, then it would be unusual. What airlines consider...

    Article: The Worst Ways to Use Frequent Flyer Points

    I always laugh at these so called "valuations" because they are so subjective, and most of the higher values (those that the airlines would like to promote, and sites like points hacks that look to attract interest) do not apply to most people. The value of a point to any individual can be...

    Reselling wine

    I think ebay iis out Selling Alcohol Policy unless you happen to have a liquor licence. Langtons is an option, but for so little quantity and not particularly expensive, unlikely to be practical. Gifting or drinking are the best options.

    Help! Points for QR flight not credited. Still being accused of lying.

    Looks seriously like an IT glitch to me. Something is mismatching sessions and applying updates from a different session that overwrites the FF number with one of someone who was also using the system. Could be a cache issue, misconfigured server, or one of a server pool out of alignment...

    Qantas Hotels no longer supplying Tax Invoices

    You are correct, but not understanding the technicalities. You are entitled to a receipt that states X has received Y dollars from Z. (and in this case, it is X acting as agent for W). This is indeed what you get. A Tax invoice is different from a receipt - it states what supply has been made...
