QF will probably need to add another curtain at row 3 as well........ to reduce the visual impact of the anguishing guests in row 4 and 5, waiting for their meals....... alternatively QF could devote an additional attendant to J?

Hi, welcome to AFF. Your current card is the best 1.0 This card in its Qantas variant, as you have identified is 0.75 And in its flexible Accent version (-Qantas) it is essentially 0.66 which is the worse (in terms of earn rate)...... but as @Dmac59 points out the annual fee is a big...

Agree...... and I would also say, even if you were actually in transit, as the ETSA is for 2 years, I would be inclined to tick no to the transit question as you can't change that selection for a future trip (under the same ETSA application).......... not sure if anyone has ever has experience...

From The Australian "The helicopter company which owned the aircraft that crashed into a Cairns hotel has confirmed the pilot flying before it struck the building had been employed as ground crew." "Although the employee held a New Zealand CPL(H) pilot’s licence, they have never flown in...

From The Australian "The sole victim of the crash, who is yet to be named by police, was believed to be a current or former employee of Nautilus Aviation with access to the hangar at Cairns Airport."

Ahh yes, agree, good summary...... I only travel with cabin baggage, so that is where my head was at (noting the OP was actually talking about checked baggage)...... and that (as far as I am aware) does not work exactly the same as checked baggage, as each airline can restrict what you can carry on.

QPS yes...... not sure about workcover...... not a work related event (not authorised to be at work or in the aircraft)...... not a journey incident as not associated with being at work.

Flight is with Qantas, just on Alliance metal. So everything same as you would normally expect with Qantas. Bag allowance as per Qantas website.

Nautilus employee/contractor

VA converts to SQ at cost of 1.55, so above example of a business seat from Sydney to Nadi will still bring you in ahead using SQ points obtained the long way from a flybuys transition (and give you the larger network).

And in this case, the gift card is not just a gift card, it is a prepaid "mastercard", so the $100 spend for the card itself can be a mechanism to gain points for a spend on your amex card that can ultimately be used for a mastercard transaction..... which is useful when amex not accepted, amex...

Bingo..... 35,500 velocity points to fly Business from Sydney to Fiji (same for Sydney to Perth)........ the use case for this is: 35,500 velocity points requires you to purchase 35.5 Coles gift cards (at 2,000 bonus flybuys a card)...... so this essentially requires you to spend $5 for 35.5...

I suspect Gold status would have a good chance, as Fiji transitions to a full Oneworld member. Qantas Club lounge member only, typically will be more restrictive and certainly would not expect that to be recognised in non Qantas lounges

I expect you will be denied entry to your Aust lounge (does not meet the rules)..... you may be lucky. I definitely would not expect you to be able to get in the Nadi Lounge (with just QF Club membership and not status). Rules can sometimes be stretched, but I would need a lot more confidence if...

Should also note that a full points based booking is fully refundable. So if you book well in advance, you can follow the dynamic pricing model and cancel and re-book when better points options become available. A bit harder to do this with a cash booking as the best fares are non-refundable.

For me it stacks up when booking their premium hotels (>$500/night) accommodation...... the flip side here though is, there are not a lot of points availability for these hotels.

XCH if a flagship, maybe short lived one....... this is a contracted service by the federal government....... tenders for the new contract closed last month!

I would be interested to see the numbers, but I would still think from a "flagship" route perspective, Brisbane would still pip, Melbourne. BNE is the foundation base (first route and first maintenance facility), BNE remains head office for the company and BNE has the most overall routes. So...

Flagship Route Conditions: 1. Route starts at its primary hub 2. Route must have a lounge at both ends 3. Route must be a long haul route (international or trans continental). So based on this = BNE to PER is the only candidate.

I like the way you present this argument….. so yes you are paying for the Accor points……. ….. however if someone else stays at the same place on the same rate and does not have a linked Qantas account, they are also paying for the points, that you will receive…… so does that mean you are in fact...
