The OLP footy club was pretty good last time I was there. I heard the Roxby Club went bust, but might have re-opened. The Tavern has ups and downs but is usually pretty good. I've heard the Tuckerbox at Andamooka closed (burnt). The Eldo at Woomera has been done up a bit, and is pretty good...

hmm Qantas has a partnership with Uber. Bet the contract says they must refer to Uber... der...

Pretty common overseas I don't think I have had a bus departure from DOH, but a bus on arrival in DOH is common. In fact I'd say I don't think I've had a gate arrival in DOH (maybe 1) Looked to be busses this week in Sydney on the interational side. A Finnair aircraft in the qantas freight area...

Well, yes, they've clearly added as much as they can to get a magic number. I think it might be a bit more complex, in practice I suspect they're including premium economy. So that's ~3500 seats in the entire international fleet, not including 737s. There are 22 Tasman and Pacific routes from...

I see a few comments about the 20% increase in classic awards. The email I got also mentions an increase in popints earn in the air. It does say up to 25% for domestic flights but then lists an example of SYD-LAX... huh? Domestic? Thats a bit of an offset with increased earning. $4000 co-pay on...

Oh, great thought process. Based on my numbers oist up thread lifetime plat would cost me $676000. I really should do the numbers on the next 6555 status that I've earned... Stopped tracking after LT gold, figured LT plat was unattainable.

MY work funded travel is funded BY ME. Many, many, many of my colleagues are EXACTLY the same - funding their work travel by themselves. This is how small business works. - NB I pay for my ACN EVERY year Please stop making assumptions.

Ok seems that you're not really getting the point. A $200 fare difference is NORMAL. Usually much more of a difference.A trip I have in the planning Sydney Adelaide 9 January at a decent hour. VA Flex $259, QF Flex $709 - more than double. VA business - $660 QF business $1359. In ten months...

Going back to you earlier post. I'd say someone that chooses to fly qantas for their one #10K business trip EVERY year is showing loyalty. Cost of lift time status is interesting. It cost me, on JQ QF and other one world carriers, $39000 to go from 1846 status credits to QF lifetime silver...

...on Qantas IFE Qantas and the board are probably most interested in people who actually travel during the year, not the leisure traveller at Christmas. Personally, my 167000 km were over on7 December. Now is a time to rest up and not travel. But I am thinking about a couple of days up on a...

16 flights and 62000 km. 737-800... meh The business had 25 flights and 104000km My flight radar says 56 flights and 167000 km - only four airlines, in order VA, QF, QR, AA

hmm, got nothing. Not even a message about singapore. the others in the house got 10 status and a $5 uber voucher, and entered into the draw. They think it's great - the platinum didn't even get the draw... lol

There was nothing to stop the OP going to the business lounge. Different issue. some lounges at Doha are access by class of service. There are still lounges for status. IME the status lounge at doha for emerald is equal to the business lounge. espeically if you head to the satellite terminal...

I read the OP "being there early enough" to mean the qantas lounge. Personal St Henri is over rated... and with Barra... Meh Eden valley riesling with barra for mine

has pretty much always been operated by Alliance, post ansett going bust...

hmm got VH-VZX yesterday... on a double SC flight... no christams carols on boarding. Delayed an hour waiting for incoming crew. Would've been more festive if Qantas paid $000s for a substitute crew and didn't decide to delay us...

Olympic dam is a contract. Was on Qantas years ago, then went to Alliance. Back with Qantas?... meh

That really doesn't make sense, and I see this reasoning on here a fair bit. All that means is to get Midnight AEDT they end the promo at 1300 UTC. That's how time zones work.

Yes and no. I forgot it was a high demand period and hence the website would be slow. Thanks for the suggestion to ring and the hope. End of the day the double isn't critical, I have at least 4 other overseas trips next year, including one that is guaranteed business, funded by someone else...

While I can own my slackness at starting a booking at 11:55pm and my choice to not use the express checkout option. The website taking about 4 minutes of loading time between the various steps is within the control of Qantas not me. I hit the pay button at 12:01. Obviously high demand, yes I...
