QF79 VH-QPC from Melbourne to Tokyo has been delayed by over an hour and still waiting. Mechanical issue/late arrival on the A330, delayed initial boarding by 40mins. Plane was taxiing to runway and stopped for about 10mins, and now has been pushed back to the airport awaiting engineer...

I made a mistake of simply assuming that all flights booked via the Qantas website would give me my additional Gold member baggage allowance. Booked flights from Melbourne to Taipei with a stopover in Sydney. Sydney to Taipei was a China Airlines flight that had a QF code share. Was able to get...

Damn I'm so shattered. Flew Cathay Pacific from Taipei to London via Hong Kong return last month, and I've been waiting for points and status to arrive. After some reading online, I realised my Cathay Pacific Q Class aren't eligible to be credited. That was the last trip so I could retain Gold...

Thanks for the response, I think it should be 2 x 32kg luggage. But it also says "For everyone in your booking", this part is what I'm wanting to confirm if anyone knows.

Sorry I've reposted this thread here, instead of the British Airways forum as it seems more related. -- Hi guys, Was hoping someone could clarify this for me as I'm not sure. I am a Qantas Gold/Oneworld Sapphire member, and I'm planning to fly with 6 friends who are not frequent flyers, from...

How scary! A Cathay Pacific flight spotted a North Korean missile breaking up in the sky, thought I'd share this article as it's so alarming that this was actually spotted. I pray that no one will ever have to witness this.. Article taken from: Cathay Pacific flight crew say they saw North...

Thanks for the responses guys! So, I've just created an account on British Airways website to search for reward flights. Their search engine is much better than Qantas' If I'm not wrong, as long as I can find a suitable reward flight, I can call up Qantas to help me use QFF points to book it...

Appreciate the response, is there a way to use QFF points to book a Rewards flight from one of the ports you mentioned such as HKG to HEL? It seems to be very difficult to try and get dates to match for a rewards flight for so many segments.

I'm trying to search for Reward flights on the Qantas page for MEL - HEL around Christmas/January, however search results don't seem to be showing. It says: We are unable to find recommendations from the airlines we search. Please change your search criteria and resubmit the search. Anyone...

I'm a General Manager for an Australian company in the sheepskin leather industry. We have a factory in China and wholesale in Australia, and regularly attend exhibitions around the world, mainly HK, China and Milan. I also travel to Istanbul twice a year for business as well bringing back...

Not a major delay, but currently sitting on QF29 to HKG this morning. The 747 was taxiing out before it had to get rolled back due to one of the doors near me not being able to be armed. Engineers came on board fiddled around for about 15mins and it now seems to be working. 25min delay, no...

I just recently became SG (QFF GOLD) and need to book a flight from MEL - HKG - MEL, March 28 - April 2nd. I'm wondering if anyone knows if it makes much difference in the probability of getting an upgrade to either Premium or Business, if I book a Saver or a Flex economy ticket? $300+ seems a...

Happy to share my travel experiences to everyone in this community! Feels amazing to be able to get valuable responses from everyone including an A380 pilot! I look to contribute more. I'm looking it as a good opportunity to experience a J class product on another airline. Just need to make...

Was just on the QF10 flight from DXB to MEL, but we've diverted to Singapore Airport due to a vibration issue in one of the engines on the left side. Captain announced that we were flying on 3 engines but did not have enough fuel to make it to MEL, SYD. I believe the Captain said the runway in...

Thanks for the replies! There are some economy award seats available, but given the cheap fare price of under $1,000 plus my $400 travel AMEX travel allowance from my CC, I'm tempted to wait out for a business class award seat to use the points. May save my points for another trip!

Hey guys, I've been looking to book a return ticket using QFF points from MEL to TPE, 26/1/16 - 13/2 Earlier this morning when I looked, there were no reward seats available on the 26/1, however now 1 has popped up with Cathay Pacific. It's not my ideal departure time, but I'm curious if I...

I would have booked the saver light, but then that's just me!

I just returned from a China Southern airline trip to Xiamen via Guangzhou, and was shocked to be told that my iphone in flight mode had to be switched off on the plane. I was listening to music on my phone. However there was a guy next to me with his big laptop watching a movie... I flew in Y...

Just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to get a free status match with any popular airlines such as Qantas or Singapore if a user is Marco Polo Gold, and flying from MEL -> PVG every 3 weeks. My old man is a gold member and just trying to help maximise his benefits. Cheers

Hey guys, New to this forum, or any FF forum as a matter of fact! Made my first post commenting about my recent trip to IST. I work for an Australian company that manufacture, wholesale and retail, and my job does quite often involve me travelling around for work - more so to Europe and...
