One thing to watch out for is non-earning booking classes. You may end up earning 0 tier points for some of those flights if the red e-deal books into E class. You're fortunate actually, because PER-BNE earns the same in discount economy as it does on QFF (20). If you were doing BNE-MEL or...

Has anyone else had one of these offers and had either the same experience, or no issue? I'm honestly surprised that Qantas would intend it to not apply to sale fares. They're usually pretty clear when they're excluded. Could they just be backing their initial mistake in this one case? It...

I remember catching QF10 from DXB to MEL a number of years ago, leaving early in the morning, and arriving at about 8pm. We were told to keep the blinds down for the entire flight. So I slept a bit, but not well, but upon getting home, had great trouble getting to sleep. It would have been much...

That's certainly a valid criticism, but just wanted to point out that they do offer a more secure option, which Qantas should also do. Using a standard protocol would be much better. As far as the app, I don't know what people are talking about, it was super simple to setup, and I just checked...

There is an authenticator app for MyGov! Not sure about ios, but here's the Google Play store link

Fortunately Qantas are trialing an enhancement, whereby you'll need to pay to select row 9 if you don't have status. I imagine they'll be receiving great feedback from the trial. https://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-trials-preferred-seating-fee-for-economy-passengers

Given that sharing your PIN with someone else is against the T&C of the program, I'm not sure what the issue is. Your DOB is at least something you're not forbidden from sharing. I'm surprised there are so many people here openly admitting to giving away information they've agreed not to. I'm...

Are you sure they're standard SMS messages, and not an MMS? Also, are you turning the entire cellular part of your phone off, or just the mobile data part? There's no need to do the former, and it would explain why you're not receiving SMS. I have two phones here next to me that are roaming...

They have an app you can use to generate codes. Not quite as nice as using TOTP so you can use your choice of app, but they certainly don't require the use of SMS. Ideally Qantas would allow the use of something like a Yubikey, but I can just imagine the complaints here if they insisted on...

Got caught up in this while taking my wife to the airport on Sunday morning. On her way into the terminal she walked past the driver being questioned by police - it seems they were texting while driving. I'm still not quite sure how you can end up with the car like that though! Perhaps the kerb...

A heavy bag fee would normally apply, for bags up to 32kg, but since you're travelling in business class, the fee is waved. Details at the bottom of: https://www.finnair.com/au/gb/information-services/baggage/checked-baggage

Not sure if this is what you meant, but you definitely have to add the Max bundle to get points and SC on a Jetstar Business fare. I'm pretty sure I've seen larger differences before. It seems to match up to the way other airlines would normally price it, with the Max fare essentially being a...

If the consensus is the comment in question is fine, I'm going to give thought to leaving this site and not returning. I don't expect anyone here to care, but I suspect I'm not the only person on this site who wouldn't be here if they thought it was a comment worthy of being here. As far as...

You should be able to see the breakdown of total and status bonus points on the points activity page on the Qantas website when you log in. Just enable the "Show Status Bonus points" option. Flights that don't earn the status bonus (eg. non QF flights) won't have the bolded part listed. So...

Only one of those articles has anything suggesting the world is going to end in 2030 - the Bob Geldof one. Even then, he's simply stating it's a possibility, which is technically correct, and I'm sure even he would agree the probability of that is so low we can ignore it. To state the obvious...

I don't think these questions are relevant. If you aren't willing to change your mind no matter what the evidence is, or just don't care what happens, then just be honest about that.

There appear to be a lot of posters in this thread who aren't interested in Australia taking action on Climate Change. I'm curious though - what would it take for you to decide we need to take urgent action? A 2°C rise in average temperatures in Australia? A 4°C rise? A 10°C rise? And don't...

Those figures come from a report commission by the Minerals Council that was released over 2 years ago. I think the solar figure includes feed-in tariffs, which aren't really relevant to federal policy, and the high end of which are being phased out. The wind figure seems to match with the price...

We seem to have gone from predicting a recession because the ALP (or should I say "Unions") are going to win, to now saying things are already so bad we're heading for a recession, with international factors also a problem. I'd suggest the government has far less influence over business than...

But the claim was that forward sales died when the election was called. But there was no new information introduced by it being called. Perhaps the date being called made people come to the realisation the Coalition weren't going to propose any significant changes or direction. I presume we're...
