Hello, first time flying Jetstar in a very long time, I have just tried to make a Sydney-Melbourne booking which was $181 (before Plus bundle) and allegedly "7 left at this price". Went through to pay and chose PayPal because it was lower fee than using my credit card directly, but PayPal...

Surprised they didn't claim this was IT error and quietly change it, instead their statement doubles down that they're intentionally inflating the price for people who are rebooking from credit vouchers? Edit: Are other airlines doing this as well? A quick check of BA's policy suggests not -...

My preference (pre-covid) was QF via SIN to LHR and into the AA arrivals lounge in T3 for a shower and breakfast before heading into London. Sadly Qantas ended that contract in early 2020 and QF passengers no longer get access to the arrivals lounge. On the return to Australia I'd normally...

For flyers from the east coast I never quite understood the appeal of Perth as a stopover, unless you wanted to avoid transiting another country? DRW actually seems favourable to PER in terms of time/distance but the schedule is not much fun - QF1 lands at LHR around 4:30am (and Qantas no longer...

My upgrade came through this morning - thanks everyone!

Success for QF11 SYD-LAX on 6/08/2019, PE to Business, SMS at about T-27 hours. Edit: Concerning though my points balance has been decreased by about 66,000 points when it should be 49,500 points, and the upgrade transaction does not appear on the activity statement.

Thanks both! Interesting that F looks pretty full, so I guess there won't be any last minute J to F upgrades that help free up J seats. I made the upgrade request a few weeks ago (immediately after booking), so fingers crossed.

Could I please get the loadings for QF 11 SYD-LAX on 6/08 next week? And for bonus points, any opinion from the brains trust of chances for upgrade to J from PE Sale. Thanks! (Edit: despite having an upgrade request pending, Qantas just sent me an email to pre-select meals in PE for the...

From Friday 9 November more altitude points will be required to convert to airline programs except for Airpoints. Westpac Altitude Rewards - Changes

First time flying to the US with Air NZ (from Sydney with the Auckland stopover). I selected 3A when I booked a few weeks ago, but when I checked in I'd been moved to 7J - next to the toilets and galley. Not a great spot and didn't get much rest. I asked about it in the lounge - they told me...

Qantas booking website says QF133 BNE-CHC and QF134 CHC-BNE earns 0 SC. That has to be an error with the site right?

Yeah that makes sense, but I much prefer the evening departure from Australia across to LAX than the early morning. The only QF option is now the QF95 flight ex-MEL. They axed the afternoon flight from Sydney.

I fly for work and with our travel budget I just scrape in for Business when QF run a good Business Sale (not at the moment sadly). On current pricing, PE Saver is what I usually pay for Business Sale! I don't know my exact travel dates yet so I'm trying to work out if I buy Economy Flex now...

Thanks, under multi-city is the functionality I was looking for as it gives the option to change flights on each individual segment. Annoyingly it seems to come out slightly more expensive this way, even if I select the same flights that were offered under the normal return booking. And on the...

When I try to book a SYD-LAX via MEL the booking website only gives me one option from SYD-MEL which is a 60 minute connection in MEL - I'd like a bit longer. Is there a way to get more options for the SYD-MEL sector? On the return flight I'm not even presented with an option via MEL, but am...

Thanks everyone for the tips. I've thought about trying AA. It's hard to book anything other than Qantas with my company, but I could probably get an AA flight on QF codeshare ticket. Yeah, nearly all the recent flights have been on the a380. Is this something unique to the a380 seats? Would you...

I do the trip between SYD and LAX a few times a year for work, and travel in J. QFF Gold status for a couple of years now. I've been really disappointed with the service and overall experience on recent flights. The 'lie flat' beds aren't really flat, legs and feet half sagging down to the...
