There are also award seats for both at 7,900 points each way plus taxes...

Still available through JAL that I can see. (Award space is trickier of course.)

Status only affects QF's own award seats. Having said that, I can't see either airport in Qantas' systems. You may need to call up.

Just had a bit more of a play around. Annoyingly, the multicity booking engine is broken (for me at least), but not surprisingly there are no J or F award flights from Dubai to the eastern seaboard until the second week of February, at which time you can book from DXB-SYD in J (or F on 11 or 12...

2x points. Yawn…

It could simply be that there are no non-stop award flights in J or F from DXB to MEL in late January and that the system is offering the best alternative. It’s school holidays, premium cabin availability is scarce and Emirates is notorious for crazy expensive carrier charges (I myself have just...

The actual distance between BNE and MNL is about 3600 miles, so it’s just on the cusp between two reward bands (57K and 68.4K). So they must price into the higher one. https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/article-how-does-qantas-calculate-distances.114330/

Alas, was a bit slow off the mark getting a SYD-HND-DFW F award at the end of September. Changed my MEL-NRT-SEA in J to SYD-DXB-SEA in F on EK instead (with a MEL-SYD positioning flight) which was a good consolation prize.

Just successfully changed my classic reward booking to SEA in October to be MEL-SYD-DXB-SEA in F (from MEL-NRT-SEA in J). My FF number did not, however, attach correctly to the PNR. I put my Skywards number into the EK PNR as I figured it was an award ticket in F (so all the nice stuff should...

Looks like the partnership is getting deeper. https://www.airfranceklm.com/en/newsroom/air-france-klm-and-qantas-extend-their-longstanding-partnership-enhance-connectivity Given F awards will be available to Flying Blue members, I wonder if, as a reciprocal thing, Qantas FF members will be...

And I've just received a fourth email (this time from Qantas Airways rather than Qantas Frequent Flyer)! The three data points are name, email and phone. So what has, or hasn't been hacked? :confused:

Because, for good or ill, Qantas points are everywhere. BP, Hoyts, Woolworths and many others mean people will have a decent trickle of points. There will doubtless be a contingent of people who don't earn regularly, but plenty of people do, and this means a hacker won't be able to reliably...

I should have been more ambitious in my demands - 700SCs for all I say!

Well, the likelihood of your points and SC balance being similar to the amount at the time of the hack are remote. Having said that, Qantas could help ensure we could easily detect phishing attempts by giving us each 20,000 Qantas points and 200 SCs so that the amounts would clearly differ from...

Finally got my email. Only 7 of 11. The Qantas ones have subsequently changed and the non-Qantas ones have already leaked out so that means in the grand scheme of things, it's not too bad for me. My data points: Name (leaked) Email address (leaked) Qantas Frequent Flyer number Tier (changed)...

If lounge access in ICN is an issue, you can get into the ICN OneWorld lounge using Dragonpass for $US28 per person through a Club Avolta 12 month Dragonpass membership which is gratis. Having said that, the ~$200 extra buys a lot of status credits.

Ditto - I've been in touch with Manila a lot due to QFF's screwy systems (thanks Green Tier!) so I'm expecting to have more or less a complete sweep (no meal preferences and an incorrect DOB will reduce the impact, but even so...)

Yes (well, it was the case for me in 2022 when I did the Flybuys one). Just activated my new Ready Credit account today (after applying on 3 July and being approved on 7 July), so let's see how long the process takes for the Qantas offer...

Those poor CL members, having to slum it by calling Manila like that... ;)
