Has anyone transferred QBR points to their account? How long do they take to post? Find myself in the unexpected position of possibly hitting PC right before my membership year ends but would need to top up with about 10,000 points.

The booking system for credit vouchers does not always show the same fares you would see advertised when making a new booking through the usual method. You have to call QF, explain you cannot book the advertised fare and have them book it for you. They should waive the assisted booking fee. Be...

I definitely would agree with this based on my experience yesterday with a Cape Town agent. Had a $180 credit vouched I wanted to book a sale NZ trip with. Of course the $499 sale fare advertised on the web that I could book normally is not shown when trying to redeem a credit voucher. First...

This is probably a basic question, but if you have a booking on QF3 SYD-JFK, can you request an upgrade for just one leg of the flight (e.g. AKL-JFK)? If you did request a straight through upgrade (SYD-JFK) would that be prioritised over a SYD-AKL request (assuming both have the same booking...

Technically you should get one extra piece of baggage (up to 32kg) on top of the standard 2 pieces for non-status domestic business. This is essentially the same as QF Platinum status pax. If you have issues at check-in you might need to have them take a look at this oneworld page: Frequent...

Never mind. Figured it out - not an option when checking out, have to add it from the green leaf choices (I think 🤞)

I'm trying to combine sustainable delivery with either the home offset or the give back purchases, but I'm not seeing how you can add that as an option when checking out. Any hints?

Yes, saw this on Reddit this morning and received a message in the AA app. I'm one of the legacy multi-million milers (some credit card but mostly EXP for 10 years from when that level was introduced. Plenty of bonus miles awarded for premium cabins etc.). Assuming the million mile counter is...

In my experience the voucher portal does not match sale fares (at least in J). Provided you get a competent agent, you can call & explain that the fares don't match. The agent should be able to book the sale fare you see and waive the booking charge.

I have done similar trip last year but from Koh Samui. Bangkok Airways through checked the luggage and issued boarding passes for the QF flight. We asked if we could access the Blue Ribbon lounge (PG's business lounge) but were politely turned away as we were not in Business on the PG flight...

Make sure to check the price of flights using the regular booking page first. Sometimes the voucher booking process will only offer flights that are priced higher than what can be booked regularly. When this has happened to me, I call and the rep can book with no fee the regular priced fare and...

Thanks Airwin. Pity about EconomyX, but if I can get an aisle seat upfront I'll be happy.

Sorry for the basic question, but can someone enlighten me as to how seat selection (or not) works for Lite fares with SG status? I understand that before check-in I have to pay for a seat if I wish. However, when check-in opens at 48 hours, can I then select from any open seat no charge?

I had a lot of trouble getting info on what the maximum dimensions would be accepted as an oversize item by QF international. When calling, operators would keep referring me to the web pages (which are not specific enough). There is info on bike boxes, surfboards & skis can be up to 277cm in...

Gone in about two minutes!

First to respond with DM (I don't check this particular board often).

I'd be interested to try this out. Would be also great to offer an optimisation service. e.g., I want to go from ABC to XYZ - here is the best routing I can find, can AFF find something better? (could be judged by a few metrics, maximum SCs, $/SC, minimum segments, etc.).

Generally, yes, DSC has been happening around Feb for the past few years. Of course, no one knows for sure what timetable QF will follow in the future. With DSC, the lowest I have been able to get is $2.63/SC. However, that was a six segment itinerary to go somewhere I could have flown direct...

Anyone have suggestions for creative routings with the current Red Tail sale offerings? (Preferably J). I usually find something ex OOL with a few sectors but not coming up with anything reasonable this sale.

We were flying Y and not offered lounge access at USM at check-in. I popped into the lounge to see if we might have access and they said no, but we could pay for access if we wanted to. TBH, it didn't look like anything special and there was plenty of seating at the gate, which while in a hut...
