    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I think it was to be a cash booking, I was the one who mistook that for a reward booking and posted the multi city reward screenshot.

    Ah yep, my bad. I was thinking of the 3.5c per accor point not CBA point.

    Qantas status on AA flights

    If I put in my QF Plat number at booking I can select the preferred seats for free but not MCE. Did it kick in after ticketing or take some time to come through?

    Express Path. Is it operating?

    QF Mobile/pdf home printed boarding passes have it on it but yes connecting you won't get one unless asking. That being said in both Brisbane and Melbourne I've had no problems showing just the business class boarding pass.

    Can do it on the app or online. If on Netbank you’ll see view awards below award eligible cards. If on the app go to cards and find the eligible card then below it will have view awards. Once in the awards portal go to redeem, then scroll to travel and finally at the bottom is the Global...

    Qantas starts international wifi

    TR had wifi that used to be cheap, on first launch it was unlimited data for US$22 valid over 24 hours (also working on connecting flights). Now US$31.80 for 1GB or US$9 for 200MB, those are the pre-purchase prices it jumps to US$55 or US$30 for the two packs if purchased onboard. Compare that...

    1 Oct 2025 Changes to CBA Award Partners

    On some cards you'll still be able to opt in for $90 per year to earn Qantas points then other options like points for hopper flights/hotels (giving a terrible 0.47c per point value), Myer (also 0.47c per point), Cashback to card (even worse 0.35c per point) still exist. This made Accor...

    Qantas starts international wifi

    The A330s are now the same as the 737s whereby it switches from Skymuster to Viasat after leaving Australia. This means that on A330 flights to Asia and beyond you'll get a connection where fitted. 81% of the A330-200s 13 of the 16 is fitted with wifi. VH-EBM, VH-EBP and VH-EBQ are not fitted...

    1 Oct 2025 Changes to CBA Award Partners

    Just noticed quietly hidden away in the awards section of the CBA app a significant reduction to transfer partners. "From 1 October 2025 members will only be able to transfer with Velocity in the Frequent Traveller Conversion list". This means a loss of Air Canada (Aeroplan), Air Asia, Accor...

    Qantas using 737 without seatback IFE for international flights?

    I'm now a couple of flights on 737 internationally and the wifi drop is 5 mins max so if longer I suspect something else was at play. That being said I do think on one of my devices I had to watch the ad again so when it does drop it pays to wait 5 mins then hit up the wifi.qantas.com website again.

    Is there even a catering facility in Palau or Tonga? The QF website shows the following (and a check of the way back machine suggests it has for a while):

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I 100% agree however I'd rather spend time in the nice places ;) I think my record has been HKG earlier in the year. I went Wing First, Wing Business, QF Lounge, Pier Business and Pier First. Yes I know rookie leagues just 5. Last Thursday, I had 3.5 hours and could have done 7 in MEL with...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I had the Godfather Sour and an Applewood G&T last week in MEL, all very good. The prawn brioche was the favourite food option. I had the prawn, mozzarella, pork and squid. That being said the MEL EK lounge is currently opening at 5:15pm and so I trekked over there for some better cheese and...

    Check Accor Plus free night availability

    Black out dates still apply so I suspect this sort of thing will be blocked.
