    Slow posting of Status Credits from Partners

    I flew Emirates on QF codeshares almost 3 weeks ago, ticketed by Qantas. The flights appeared in my QFF account and I even was able to select seats on EK metal using Qantas MMB. A few days after the flight I got a survey email from Qantas asking how I'd rate flying with Emirates, and if I...

    I don't know the answer to most Qantas "security" questions!

    I’ve gone to login tonight and after getting the SMS code it wants me to answer 3 of these questions to login. Is there a way to opt-out of this?

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    September 2025? As in almost 2 years time? Things may well change between now and then. Anyway, I recently witnessed someone in a similar situation and the lounge attendant said something like "and how will you be entering today?" to the 3rd person, and then clarified, to some confused looks...

    Article: The Increasingly Desperate Flybuys & Woolies Offers When You Stop Shopping

    After leaving Australia, I obviously stopped spending with both major chains and all their associated stores. Both started sending me generous bonus point offers, which I ignored being overseas. After a while, the Flybuys offers got less frequent. I rarely get anything from them now...

    Request an upgrade website broken?

    Maybe I'm somehow doing it wrong, but I can't seem to get the upgrade request to load properly either on the app or the website. I've tried a few times over the past few days and keep getting random error messages that don't make much sense to me. Today's is "PNR was not found in the URL" Is...

    NAB acquires Citibank Australia

    I had the same issue + more. Not only was an old Australian address but also the tax details (Australian tax resident / TFN) from my old NAB account from over 10 years ago. Citi have my current UK address and foreign tax residency details, but NAB decided to override it with their own outdated...

    Middle name shown on passport but not flight tickets

    I think it's unfair to call her a slow learner as she would have been reassured by the experience with Scoot that it wasn't actually a problem and something minor that could be fixed at check-in with little fuss and at no additional cost.

    QF WP booking flights through CX FF

    I can't answer for CX, but I have done with BA as their redemptions are similarly better value than using QFF points. The trick with BA is to select that you're making the booking for someone else (not yourself), but then enter your own name into the passenger details. This way it doesn't...

    We'd like your feedback on Australian aviation policy

    I suppose one thing that hasn't really been mentioned is that delay compensation across all forms of transport is the norm in other parts of the world but unusual in the Australian transport market. The UK and Europe also have these 'delay repay' schemes for train travel, including government...

    LHR-PER-SYD with a 737 for the connecting PER-SYD

    It's only a 4 hour flight, so not the worst, but agree not ideal. Is it at least a smooth transfer/transit in Perth airport? Arrive and depart from T3/T4. And does anyone know if there's decent shower facilities in the Qantas Club in Perth? Assume the International Lounge can't be used on...

    LHR-PER-SYD with a 737 for the connecting PER-SYD

    Thanks all, the main reason not considering QF2 via SIN is the timing and jetlag. I'd prefer to avoid an early morning arrival into Sydney from a relatively short overnight flight from Singapore. Would be happy with a morning arrival from DXB, so will probably go with EK.

    LHR-PER-SYD with a 737 for the connecting PER-SYD

    I'm booking a whirlwind trip to Sydney and back for my cousin's wedding in March next year. I usually fly into Melbourne (where I'm originally from) and have done the QF10 before, all the way on the 787, and found it was excellent for minimising jetlag compared to the routes through Asia or...

    We'd like your feedback on Australian aviation policy

    Unfortunately a bit of strong wind or rain in London and BA will deny EU261 compensation due to weather being out of their control, even if there was another underlying reason for the delay or cancellation. Some people take them to MCOL (UK county court claim) to get paid, and BA will usually...

    Mine was booked via BA but flight operated by IB, so maybe that's part of the reason.
