Thank you for your personal experience Fishfood. This is useful to know as the offer has been misrepresented on multiple points blogs. For example Flighthacks (they were not the only offenders) listed complimentary breakfast and welcome amenity as two separate benefits...

Hi all, I was one of the lucky ones who managed to swoop in on the Diamond status for nothing which I've managed to extend for another year by then signing up the Ambassador programme. My first stay is going to be at the Kimpton Fitzroy London beginning December and I'm just trying to get my...

I have no idea (and neither did the agent; he just stated that they were still in place at the lounge). I look forward to quizzing the Lounge Dragon at Perth International Transit Lounge more on this issue before my flight! :) I'll ask for a timeframe for when COVID restrictions are due to be...

I thought I'd ring up Qantas just to double check the situation at the Perth International Transit Lounge. Got put through to an agent within 2-3 minutes. Then the usual dance with incompetence began: I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out said issue with the agent before she placed me on...

😂 so because it's an international transit lounge rather than an international lounge or an international business lounge I don't have access. Oh very clever Qantas, very clever. 👋 Never mind that technically it's not a transit lounge for me as Perth is my point of departure. 🤔 And of course it...

General. According to T&C eligible for all International Lounges except Tom Brady. Have made a post in QFF under "Unable to link Complimentary lounge Invitation" about it too in case anyone knows why!

Hopefully someone here can provide that answer! I think I should be able to access the Perth International Transit Lounge in T3 - as per T&C of general lounge complimentary pass: It's not during school holidays either (the usual culprit stopping linkings).

Hi all, Flying out next Wednesday on QF71 @ 11:45 PER - SIN on QF (I believe from terminal 3). Unable to link complimentary lounge pass - flight not displaying at all on complimentary lounge pass management page. However, the return leg from SIN - PER in December is showing up and allowing me...

Welcome to the club. I never successfully managed to redeem QFF points on Qantas Metal premium international cabins to Europe during my 4 years earning them but with enough perseverance and flexibility I could usually find a suitable EK or QA substitute to book through. With the now...

Hi all, I've booked a QF classic rewards flight on EK traveling in F from SIN to CDG that departs at 21:00 in a few weeks time. I was unable to find any rewards seats from PER to SIN so I had to do a separate cash fare booking for this on QF in Y. This arrives into SIN at 16:45. I've got a...

FYI - sorry if a little OT! I have posted about this in Qatar forum but thought it worth a mention here too. The possibility of an Avios earning CC in Australia - a gamechanger? It would be serious competition to QFF - hard to see why any savvy traveller would not ditch QFF CCs for one of...

I haven't seen a thread on this development yet. In the very early stages so details are understandably vague, but the possibility of a co-branded payment card between Qatar/Visa that would allow you to earn Avios here in Australia could be a considerable threat to Qantas FF dominance. I will...

P.S. another sweet spot for those based in Perth are PER -SIN redemptions (availability OK by international standards but nothing like the choice buffet for domestic redemptions). With Qantas it's 57,000 points + $229. With BA Avios it's 38,750 points + $106 . This comes about about due to...

Great deal but situational use involving comparing the distance reward charts of both BA and Qantas as they're staggered slightly differently along with the different points cost in each category. The recent AFF article published in the last day or so pointed out some nice sweet spots for...

Dear all, I am delighted to inform you that the BA trick worked and I have been able to claim SC on an Avios booking via points club. Thanks again to *A Flyer for the RJ tip to change the booking from Executive Club to Qantas Frequent Flyer. Now, it gets a little more interesting. I've...

Thank you very much - that did the trick!

Thanks Franky - unfortunately not receiving a rejection e-mail, just taken to the Qantas Club page. I think what I'll probably do is try again 7 days out from my flight and if it continues not to work record a video of my attempt and show it to the Lounge Staff as proof that it's through no...

Bread and circuses. Most of this is of little value to me and fails to address my issues with Qantas over the past few months: 1) Terrible customer service. I would far rather the value of that $50 credit being used to train and employ competent call centre staff in South Africa (amongst...
