    Qantas and Uber - Points partnership

    Hasn't been a long time, several months now though. There are 3 'ride-sharing' lanes outside the ParkRoyal, so you just message the uber driver the lane number you're waiting at. Easy-peasy. It's a real boon for families as there are commonly Uber XLs waiting in the queue. Sick and tired of...

    Qantas and Uber - Points partnership

    They have for awhile now, we’ve taken Uber x a couple times now. They have an Uber x queue about 5min away and pickup is outside the hotel across the road from the terminal.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Got an interesting domestic status run question for the gurus here: Does anyone know how reliable delivery of checked in luggage is when doing a status run? Based in MEL, I to need to spend several days in SYD and am taking the opportunity to do a quick status run via OOL. So MEL-SYD-OOL-SYD...

    Can Qantas still be classed as a truly 'International' Airline?

    I didn't know this either - thanks for the tip! The little snippets of info like this is one of the reasons I joined AFF :)

    Avoiding the Qantas 787

    A big tick of agreement here too - based in MEL, we have no desire to ever go to Europe via PER-LHR. I've got some J trips booked in 2018 on CX A350 and am very much looking forward to those......

    Qantas club lounge changed to CX at LHR?

    Hi VPS, how was the new club lounge? We're flying CX in J from Gatwick to HKG next year so keen to know what the story is there re the lounges.

    Qantas replaces Emirates on most Trans Tasman flights

    Couldn't agree more, and hopefully with 28 instead of 12 J seats there may be more upgrades coming through (haha, we can dream...)

    Qantas replaces Emirates on most Trans Tasman flights

    Thumbs up from me if it means QF replacing the B738 with A330 from MEL-AKL , would also be nice to see QF A330 on MEL-WLG too...

    New changes to QF FF account page

    Yep, ditto here. I have 160 SCs that have posted that 100% should count but says only 140 have counted to loyalty bonus. I've checked my partner's account as she's flown the same flights and all hers have counted to her loyalty count.

    Higher taxes in QFF redemptions . .

    That was a multi-city award redemption so we could have a layover in HKG for a few days, but one PNR for the 3 segments. Was very happy as we needed redemption for 4 PAX. Interestingly the HKG-LHR also had 4 * F award for exactly the same taxes, however the F was a 777 and the J was A380, and...

    Higher taxes in QFF redemptions . .

    Amen to that, this week I've booked award MEL-HKG Y+ and HKG-LHR J and LHR-MUC J for $420 total on a mix of CX and BA metal, compared to what, approx $376 for just BNE-SIN......

    Family transfer - limit to receive?

    Hi all, I know there's a 600,000 point limit to transfer to another family member, however can one family member receive more than 600,000 points if it's coming from additional members?

    Double Points and DSC [Book by 8/9/17, fly by 6/9/18]

    Ditto, the only reason my partner made gold was that I engineered it. :p

    QF to Europe returns to the Kangaroo Route (via SIN)

    Ditto! Especially if one is going to do a layover!

    Changes in QF executive team

    Hmmm....have we seen the last of the DSC promotions? What else, maybe no points or SCs for Jetstar flights, another halving of partner airlines SCs??.......no booze in the QP unless you've got a 'plus' or a 'max' add-on.....

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Does this mean that SCs from Jetstar flights will post in a timely fashion now?? :p

    Qantas Trans-Tasman Business Class

    Thanks Groundhog, we're travelling Thursday, though we'll be slumming it in the J lounge. We'd rather minimise time in the J lounge as the BOB* is better than the J lounge! *bubbles on board :p

    Qantas Trans-Tasman Business Class

    We've got J on QF153 MEL-AKL coming up soon, just wondering how early we should realistically get to MEL for the 7am flight? Anyone seeing bigger delays these days through customs etc.?
