    New Amex statement credits

    Woolies gift card portal is not the super market so no dice they use a different MCC but can buy a card instore no problems.

    New Amex statement credits

    Exactly the same as the Woolies specific but locked to MCC rather than just Woolies. I’ve successfully used at both Coles and Woolies.

    How does Accor treat you as an Elite guest?

    I stayed here earlier in the year and one noteworthy thing is the lounge has alcohol (beer/wine) during all opening hours but then this is upgraded to include some spirits and sparkling between 5-7pm.

    Fly domestic international Thursday 25th Dec?

    Still hoping my final JQ4 on 20 October sticks! I guess JQ34 the daily MEL-CNS works but with a 6:25am departure time you don't get a lot of lounge time. The MEL F lounge is currently opening at 4:45am on all days except Wed/Thu where it's 5:30am. Finally QF33 still running SYD-PER 3x per...

    Virgin Australia flights to Doha

    Probably not, when VA operated long haul on their own aircraft it was a similar setup whereby only status holders could upgrade.

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    This is no longer true. QFi uses 3xx flight numbers on QantasLink operated flights. The Palau route uses QF165/166, Norfolk Island uses QF183, QF184, QF179, QF180 and they are all gov contract flights (operated by a 737) meanwhile QF357/QF358 to/from HIR, QF359/360 to/from NOU, QF355/QF356...

    Qantas WiFi (aka Qantas inflight Internet)

    Not a major issue. Amazon’s LEO network plan to use Ka Band meaning the current antennas on Qantas aircraft should be able to work with them. Also as Viasat launch more Ka band sats including over Australia it could mean that Viasat and Qantas are less reliant on Skymuster noting that they...

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    Some are showing landing into T1 unless they've figured out a way to depart from T4 and land back into T1?

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    They might have fixed it but when first released it wasn't possible. Should be T1.

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    VA flights start at $556 oneway PER-CCK ($559 CCK-PER) and $608 for PER-XCH ($570 XCH-PER). QF flights are now loaded with award seats on most flights. On all flights it's it's 20,700 points and $51 taxes oneway but do note it's currently not possible to book XCH or CCK back to Perth as a...

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    Well aware. I'm coming in from Brisbane the night before landing 10pm then flying out the next morning at 8am so I'll need to figure out the logistics. Will be interesting to see how QF reward seats stack up and the promised price drop on the route as QF claim they'll be able to charge less.

    QantasLink to fly to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands

    I've got a VA flight booked in Oct. I've been to XCH so this time it's CCK. Would highly recommend Christmas Island! As a side note I wonder if QF will do a deal with the aspire lounge in T1.

    AccorPlus China

    Throw on a different accor subscription and it meant one could reach platinum without ever stepping foot in an accor hotel. Accor plus is cracking down on this saying max 30 and apparently the plan is to roll that out across the board.
