    International Qantas Awards Available One way but not Return.

    IMHO (and it's only my guess) it is about forcing you to pay $$ for one of the flights, often the return, or take an undesirable stopover. I bet they have analysts crunching the numbers and dedicated to maximising profits and filling seats. It's not about polluting the planet further. Even with...

    I used to hang out here a lot....Velocity's 20th birthday

    I remember (some of) crazydave's posts and loved the involvement. Nice to see him pop back to say hi... and I do wonder about and miss some of the other prolific posters from 'back in the day.'

    P1 Rebrand

    From the P1 email that just came out it said the update will be “help our frontline teams identify you more easily”. The cynic in me says that’s an admission we kept on being overlooked and ignored, and now this will get staff to KWIA!

    Little things I like

    Having AFF as a place on the Internet to come to when I want to totally tune out of domestic and global politics - which is quite often nowadays.

    MEL short overnight

    I’d also stay at a hotel, as having access to a private bed and bathroom makes me feel much more human, ahead of possibly a day of flying. But it seems you have a much higher tolerance for overnighting in terminals!

    First reward flight SYD-LHR. Are my expectations too high?

    Have a great trip, it's worth trying once so you don't die wondering and can speak from experience. You might have a fantastic experience (hopefully things will get better after you get off JQ - for a short initial leg it's not that bad), but you already know to go in with low expectations. It...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Received the tax invoice error email too, which looks a lot more professionally formatted. Given I'll drop from P1, a new blue card that'll last a few months will be a novelty.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Thanks for reporting back. Happy it's not a hack, but irritated at QF for this amateurish confusion. I feel like replying and quoting links to their own privacy policies and the OAIC back at them. I can't wait for my blue card to arrive. /sarcasm

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I got this "Here is your tax invoice" email too (once), as a P1. What the heck? The FF and QC links look legitimate apart from the fact they're not https. The PDF preview (I didn't open the PDF) has my name, address and FF #. If this is a legitimate email, why on earth would they think links to...

    Possibility of reaching Platinum

    If you haven’t already, noting there’s no current double SC offer I’d start with this article: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-status-runs/ And the last few pages of this thread...

    Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

    I visit AFF throughout the day very frequently (imho) but just look for new posts, so the 'new posts' link is essentially the only way I get here. So I don't see the credit card or other pages mentioned at all. Having said that, I've just clicked to revert to the old look for the first time...

    Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

    Another vote that this blue is very hard to read. The below text, both black and blue, is hard to read against the purple. And the toolbar looks extremely ghosted out and disabled.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Didn't get it here. Wonder if these are planned out well in advance and sent out by a third party? It should have been paused otherwise it reeks of tone deafness.

    Article: Should Airlines Keep Lounges Open for Delayed Flights?

    Great points brought up on this thread. It's not just a simple "Yeah bloomin' oath they definitely should." Of course I want lounge access if my flight's delayed - to be kicked out is just salt in the wound. I kind of agree with the point it's the airline's problem to get their staff to stay...
