    Qantas Club Renewal Fail Rant

    From what I have been told over the phone when renewing my QC, there appears to be a grace period of at least 2 weeks. So you can call a few days after your renewal date to pay at the special rate.

    Booking class of UK connection

    I booked J QF2 with a connection from TXL a few weeks ago. Both legs were in J. Not sure about domestic flights, but I presume the same. What class does come up in the search of the itinerary for the domestic leg?

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    They may be having two statistical groups, like a control group - well, just my theory. To test if those who stopped shopping in December reengage without a campaign. i stopped scanning my card on 31dec. Got an email to choose between 870 QFF pts and $10 monopoly for $60 spend. No brainer...

    QF SC's on OW intra-EU

    Looking to top up my QF SC's balance to reach SG later this year, and since we need to fly / spend $$ intra-EU anyway on our trip, I have been looking for flights on OW-members. I will have a shortfall of about 70 SCs to get to SG. Not many choices really, BA, IB, AY and AB. :-| We will need to...

    J sales to LHR, do they happen? any tips?

    The only trouble was that I couldn't use it online. But I called Qantas and they sorted everything out. They even held the seats for 48hrs including the BA leg TXL>LHR because my CC would otherwise decline it that day. :) The only issue seems to be when using a credit voucher is that it is...

    J sales to LHR, do they happen? any tips?

    Thanks to all of you for suggestions! My Update: the QF business sale fare SYD>LHR reappeared! A return J quoted $8.1K for July departure. I know it is significantly more than what other airlines offer, but it is also significantly less than the standard business saver fare $9.2K is, such that...

    QF changing SYD-LAX flights without notice?

    Glad it is all resolved satisfactory for you! :) after a bad personal experience being slugged with $700 change fees to make a simple date change on a fare that was $1700 a few years back, I avoid OTA at all costs. When a price given by OTA is cheaper than what qf online is quoting for the...

    Has anyone bought anything on Qantas Mall?

    on all my purchases the base points (5ppd) came through first, followed by another batch a few weeks/months later. No specific pattern how long. Meanwhile, I can track my taxi in real-time... :D

    J sales to LHR, do they happen? any tips?

    Decided to book 2x J tickets for end July to LHR on QF, was looking at prices which where hovering just above $8K after Xmas. I thought it was the saver fare. Went to book yesterday only to realise the saver fare is now $9.2k per passenger. That's almost $2.5k more. Ouch! Admittedly it it was...

    Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer.

    I can't see them aligning with Aldi, tbh. The positioning wouldn't align well with Qantas' premium, full-service brand. But, I can see that David Jones could...

    They still stock it, so had to walk up to the bathroom several times. :-)

    Qantas Trans-Tasman Business Class

    Flew QF163 just the other week and QF164 back (both mid-week flights on Tue/Wed) in J. Both times J cabin only had 1 spare seat. Seems to be good J loads for QF TT. Really enjoyed the Jetconnect service, and the meals. One minor negative was no amenity kit on the return flight (as departure is...

    Young flyer with various questions (Melbourne - Honolulu Promotion)

    I would say with 3 hours you have more chances as flights leave every hour or sometimes every 30 minutes in peak. If there's no seats you can still kill the time at the Qantas club using the voucher in MEL. So kinda you're not gonna loose much.

    Young flyer with various questions (Melbourne - Honolulu Promotion)

    Alexander, regarding your use of the qantas lounge pass, there is a 'trick' I once tried which worked and could work for you. If you arrive early enough in MEL for checkin and ask nicely, they just might put you on an earlier domestic flight to SYD meaning more time in SYD international business...

    EK upgrade "Love" on QF / EK coded flights - success rate?

    re: EK upgrade "Love" on QF / EK coded flights - success rate? Was offered a paid upgrade at the check-in counter at LED for the LED>DXB leg (on a QF ticket). Tried to get a paid upgrade on DXB>SYD in DXB, but the queue was too long at the ticketing counter. However, I found out that paid...
