    Cannot Purchase Jetstar Excess Baggage

    You have hit the limit of how much they allow to be pre purchased. Anything over the 50kg will need to be paid at the airport per kg and this gets expensive fast $20 per kg for domestic and $30 per kg for international flights.

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I think it was to be a cash booking, I was the one who mistook that for a reward booking and posted the multi city reward screenshot.

    Ah yep, my bad. I was thinking of the 3.5c per accor point not CBA point.

    Qantas status on AA flights

    If I put in my QF Plat number at booking I can select the preferred seats for free but not MCE. Did it kick in after ticketing or take some time to come through?

    Express Path. Is it operating?

    QF Mobile/pdf home printed boarding passes have it on it but yes connecting you won't get one unless asking. That being said in both Brisbane and Melbourne I've had no problems showing just the business class boarding pass.

    Qantas starts international wifi

    TR had wifi that used to be cheap, on first launch it was unlimited data for US$22 valid over 24 hours (also working on connecting flights). Now US$31.80 for 1GB or US$9 for 200MB, those are the pre-purchase prices it jumps to US$55 or US$30 for the two packs if purchased onboard. Compare that...

    1 Oct 2025 Changes to CBA Award Partners

    On some cards you'll still be able to opt in for $90 per year to earn Qantas points then other options like points for hopper flights/hotels (giving a terrible 0.47c per point value), Myer (also 0.47c per point), Cashback to card (even worse 0.35c per point) still exist. This made Accor...

    Qantas starts international wifi

    The A330s are now the same as the 737s whereby it switches from Skymuster to Viasat after leaving Australia. This means that on A330 flights to Asia and beyond you'll get a connection where fitted. 81% of the A330-200s 13 of the 16 is fitted with wifi. VH-EBM, VH-EBP and VH-EBQ are not fitted...

    1 Oct 2025 Changes to CBA Award Partners

    Just noticed quietly hidden away in the awards section of the CBA app a significant reduction to transfer partners. "From 1 October 2025 members will only be able to transfer with Velocity in the Frequent Traveller Conversion list". This means a loss of Air Canada (Aeroplan), Air Asia, Accor...

    Qantas using 737 without seatback IFE for international flights?

    I'm now a couple of flights on 737 internationally and the wifi drop is 5 mins max so if longer I suspect something else was at play. That being said I do think on one of my devices I had to watch the ad again so when it does drop it pays to wait 5 mins then hit up the wifi.qantas.com website again.
