Just noticed this thread. Definitely appealing to the broader central Vic area. My parents live 2.5 hours from Melbourne but only 1 from Bendigo and fly to Sydney semi-regularly. The potential savings in time and carpark fees is nothing to sneeze at!

100% agree and ditto! Was 15k short of J rewards for our family of 4 from Italy to KL last week. Two cases later and voila! Booked and 4 happy campers!

We've been at Signal No. 10 for a couple hours, surprisingly windy in downtown Kowloon, peak gusts of 194km/h at Tate's Cairn above Kowloon with139km sustained winds. We're getting a little water ingress through the aluminium structure of our hotel room window on the 37th floor but nothing...

So we're booked on BA32 on 17th Sep which is still listed as 'on time'. BA32 on 16th is cancelled along with just about everything else for the 16th. Fingers crossed flights on 17th aren't affected too much..... Currently cosy on the 37th floor of Cordis Hotel, Kowloon (formally Langham). Air...

Thank you for the response, we have an award booking, booked via QF, MEL-HKG-LHR-MUN on the one PNR. MEL-HKG on Friday with CX, HKG-LHR-MUN on BA, leaving just before midnight on Monday.

Yes, I've received SC from using the $450 credit, make sure you enter your QFF number in Amex travel though when you make the booking.

Hi all, We're flying CX into HKG on Friday (from MEL), flying out on Monday night on BA32 to LHR. Seems in the middle, Typhoon Mangkhut is due to pass rather close by on Sunday: SUPER TYPHOON MANGKHUT Tracker | Cyclocane It's currently a Super Typhoon Cat 5, though likely to be maybe +/- Cat...

Ditto here, flew Sunday, DSCs hit today.

I'll bite... My partner and I typically make it to midway between PS and SG every year through regular flying. I chuck in a little status run every year to bring just me to SG. This gets us domestic lounge access as we fly together, fly red-e deals and are, umm, lets say solid imbibers. The...

I think you're onto something here. I've been SG last 3 years and have used DSC every year but they've made very little difference because of timing. Last year I think I managed a miserable extra 40SC from DSC promo. DSC's are not going to get me to WP any time soon however if JASA's were still...

Domestic travel? It's really the only reason we're going for it, otherwise I suspect BA might have been the target.

I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment for international travel, however I think a sweet spot for LTG is domestic travel. I can see a time in our latter years when most travel will be domestic and we're no longer on the QFF points gravy train, so the odd international trip we'll pay for...

How about this for a base line: 700 Red e deals SYD-BNE-SYD = $196,000 for 14,000 SC (assuming cheapest standard red e deal of $140) 700 Red e deals MEL-SYD-MEL = $252,000 for 14,000 SC (assuming cheapest standard red e deal of $180) Then one could do all sorts of other best case 'baselines'...

I'm seriously starting to wonder about the utility of it too. In my mid-40's but only got onto the QFF bus a few years ago so only have 2500-ish SCs, gaining SG every year looks to continue indefinitely, so by the time I gain LTG in about 18 years at the current rate SWMBO and I will be in a...

Whilst the behaviour witnessed by the OP is clearly at odds to efficient boarding but common sense is just not that common. Thing is this 'human element' factor that airline training and rigour is supposed to minimise seems to be increasingly more common. Personally though I see a greater hold...

Last four orders posted in 3-5 business days; most recent last week, and then going back two months. Up until this year I was consistently getting points posting within 24 hours and very often the same day (<8 hours).

I agree and I'm only a recent (last 4 years) member of the FF bandwagon and have also run that path. I'm "loyal" only because I need to stick with one airline for any sort of status as we don't fly enough for multiple airlines status. Pretty soon after I joined AFF, in conjunction with increased...

I think a DeLorean at 88 mph is required so that the flights can be unflown back in time...sorry if that makes as much sense as QF's IT change management.... :p

Well I've just managed to log on, despite the outage notice still being up on both the IOS app and the website. Looks same same, but they've actually fixed the issue with Jetstar SCs not being added to the bonus SC tally. Wonders will never cease....

Just to add a data point for those considering tag-teaming the St George and Bank of Melbourne signature cards, I had a St George Signature card about 9 months ago, got the 90k points and then cancelled. Four months ago I moved my home loan to BoM and got the BoM Signature card thrown into the...
