Just noticed this in my QF app - must have only been turned on today (I flew yesterday evening and it wasn’t there then). Reminds me of the promotions that sometimes appear in the EDR, like the Easter egg one earlier in the year. Hope I get something better than the plastic whistle that...

I was in Japan in May 2023. My partner (who had gone to Japan many times pre COVID) was stunned at how widespread card acceptance was post pandemic. We brought Macquarie debit cards over and withdrew ~40,000 yen on day 1 - had to make a conscious effort to use cash over card to get rid of it all...

Happy update to this. My partner (who is new to piecing together award itineraries, has poured many hours into getting us the most efficient route to/from Europe in CR J, and has cost us an unforgivable number of points in cancellation/change fees when better seats have been spotted in the...

Thanks for these suggestions. The HKG flight is actually to position us for a HKG-DXB-LHR trip in EK J that we have separately booked for 8/6. Unfortunately that means we are pretty fixed on the date, and a bit reluctant to consider non-direct options on what is already a pretty long trip. I’ll...

Was just unsuccessful (as a WP) in trying to get 2 x J seats released on one of the following flights: 07JUN25 QF127 SYD-HKG I7 07JUN25 QF029 MEL-HKG I3 08JUL25 QF060 HND-SYD I2 The flights to HKG got put to the droid first, then I decided to check the outbound leg from HND in a separate request.

Very keen to hear from anybody who originally booked during the DSC as flex travel but cancelled for a credit used for a flight that has subsequently been flown…

I flew SYD-MEL-SYD last week and had group boarding on both flights. A colleague was on a later delayed flight into MEL, so while I was waiting for them to arrive I hung around and watched a few flights board. So all up, I saw about half a dozen flights go through the process, including mine. I...

I’ve worked on large remediation projects like this before (including one where Deloitte was engaged to administer it). It is very common to stagger the email comms out over a period (eg a couple of weeks) to avoid overwhelming the system, particularly the call centre that will be operated by...

Any updates on how the trial is going? I noticed the QF webpage with information now has a 404 error: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/travel-info/travel-advice/boarding-trial.html#:~:text=Introducing%20the%20group%20boarding%20trial,provide%20a%20smoother%20boarding%20experience.

Just got a Seats.aero ping for DFW flights in Jan: The cash prices for J in comparison (bang on 1.5 cents/pt): No thanks.

Granted they often aren't as easy to find/manipulate as this Bonza one, but I'd wager that just about every website you regularly use would rely on APIs like this to function. Modern day websites are much more efficient to serve to a user by pumping the raw data to their brower and for the...

Based on the usual timeline of changes to credit products that negatively affect the number of new accounts opened (and hard to see how this latest clamping down won’t cause a noticeable impact to that metric), I reckon the foreseeable future in this instance will be a matter of months. Banks...

Mine declined today for the first time too - more than enough on the card to process it.

The same with me - received SC manually after contacting QFF, got this email yesterday, but no option to select. Fine by me given I received the reward this membership year. Bit concerning if their systems are inadvertently giving them out twice though, it might make QFF less willing to manually...

Have been keeping a hawkish eye out for QF J CR seats to/from USA in Feb for the last few months. I haven't seen anyone else post about seats being released this early, but unless seats.aero and EF have failed me and they were available all along, today’s dump of CR seats definitely delivered...

Hi everyone. I just thought I'd share my success story in getting Qantas to generate my Green Tier rewards offer for the second year of eligibility. I've been dealing with QFF support for the about six months to try and get the reward, and I've had exactly the same issue as others have - the...
