Tomorrow, we take our first ever First flight on QF1 doing both legs. Excitement has been building with reviews read, menu's perused and seeing the Singapore First lounge. Knowing that it is typical to receive a call from the First crew arranging spa treatments and hopefully some sort of...

Thanks.

Have a friend flying Y from France to Sydney via DXB. QF flight numbers on EK metal all the way. If I comp her a lounge pass will it be accepted in DXB? The Qantas lounge eligibility page is not clear to me.

it is one PNR. Jetstar 'should' allow carry on and checked as per QF allowance but I am shuddering at the thought of the gate dragon and their scales telling me to pay up or else. We're going First on QF1 so well over what JQ can even dream of for baggage.

@miniyazz Dragging this up to see how you went with the JQ allowance? We have a JQ domestic to QF1 rewards flight next month and all I see is we are on a jetstar starter fare which gives 7Kg carryon and nil checked. QF and JQ call centres are no use at all and I don't want a bill or scene at...

10 club for me. And my spam texts have increased all of a sudden 🤬

From what I figured, the AKL-MEL flight was serviced by the incoming SYD-AKL plane, whilst the MEL-AKL plane was used for the AKL-SYD flight. Or, they did a triangle from Australia. So weather did delay it but that's a bit of strategic analysis on my part. Both flights were delayed but AKL-MEL...

Some rooms had breakfast so it must be the rate they pay. Also no Accor points on this booking.

2 July was the first time I had been on a flight that was delayed and missed the connecing flight so the experience was new. The East Coast low off NSW delayed the incoming flight ex-Sydney by 3 hours, so QF156 AKL-MEL was predicted to arrive late into MEL -15 minutes after my MEL-HBA flight...

WARNING this post contains slop. QF155 MEL-AKL June 2025 Pasta or beef. Took the beef and was provided with some slop representing mashed potato, a small piece of beef, vegetables seemingly capsicum, courgette and some white stuff all swimming in a bowl. The beef was actually tender and well...

I've done about 4 flights in the A220 half J, half Y all ex HBA to SYD or MEL and return. I think it is a great plane, but have to agree with the seat coverings, leather would be a better deal. Pro for me; charging in every seat with USB A and C connectors The new table/phone holder in the seat...

First visit to the EK lounge as I write. No signage for the unaware which way to go so I hit up the EK reception. No pleasant greeting, was told when asked is this the default that as they were not busy I could come in elsewise I’d be in the Strata lounge. Made me feel very special 😢 On the plus...

In my experience if all flights are QF tix are instant. If with another carrier they can take hours to days. Keep calling if no tix within a ‘reasonable’ time, as some of mine have glitched and QF are not on top of them.

My last 2 flights showed fees up till 23 hours before departure. But when checked in, as Serfty has said, all seats become free of charge. Last trip MEL-AKL I had row 4D-F all to myself

Consolidated revenue strikes again. Oh how I hate that program.

NSW State government travel receives both points and SC on domestic flights. Whilst policy states you cannot earn either, all you do is add the flight reference to your carrier profile and budda bing there you go (I know this is correct for QF, VA never had 'suitable' flights) Fares are...

In the words of Murray Walker; "Spin, Spin, Spin"

The permit scheme all makes sense. Infinity is 20 pax with 2 guides so that deal must still be in place. The 4 day comment is valid. I'm sure there are trips where the animals don't make an appearance until day 7. But, we saw a lot of animals doing animal things and we were happy with it. We...

Yes, that is it. As a compariosn, the NP is this one And as comparison, Infinity is this one So a bit bigger in size. I really think the larger size vessel will improve the experience immensely and worth the extra cash. And the itinerary was certainly busy. Not sure if it was a result of...

If you want any tips on MP hit me up. I found the data on line didn't really relate to the physical experience. The way we did the circuits was really easy, and I have no doubt you can do all 3 in the one day if that was your bent. But a relaxed tour like we did made it enjoyable and less stress...
