    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I've added a mobile myki to +1's phone but my phone won't bring Myki up as an option. Looks like I'll have to buy a physical card.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Someone mentioned it here but I can't find it. And I will be travelling outside the free zone😒

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    So arriving in MEL for AFF18, I'll need to get a Myki to get around over the weekend. Where is the machine at the airport?

    Article: Qantas Will Improve Reward Flight Downgrade Compensation

    Fortunately I've never been downgraded (at least not yet), but I've often wondered what they would do if I said I'll just wait for the next flight with my original booking class available. Could be an interesting discussion.

    Qantas Wellbeing App

    While reading some of the recent posts in this thread, I realised that I'd received very few points from the wellbeing app recently. I checked the app and discovered that the feed from Google Fit had dropped out and it hadn't synced since January. So I updated the link and completed any...

    Good to know it's possible. I've never been able to get that many surface sectors ticketed

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    There is nothing in the T&Cs (AFAIK) but in practice there appears to be a limit of 2 surface sectors. I've never been able to get QF to ticket a OWA with more than 2.

    Double Status Credits - QBR Exclusive (October 2025)

    My post that you refer to was in reference to CR points bookings; those earning tables in your link are not relevant to a Classic Reward as you do not earn points on a Classic Reward. However, if you are a member of Points Club you do earn status credits on reward bookings. So the point was...

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    Stay away from the taxis; IME the worst taxi service i've ever come across. I've rung the taxi company and told them there are 8 people wanting cabs; they send one! Ring again and tell them there are still 7 waiting and, 20 minutes later, they send another one! And on and on it goes. This...

    Qantas adds codeshare with South Africa's Airlink

    Yeah either actually. But lack of availability on the SYD-JNB leg means that the option to combine with a QF longhaul isn't available. The flights are available using Avios through QR but the points + taxes works out to be dearer than the cash fare..

    Qantas adds codeshare with South Africa's Airlink

    Anyone had any luck booking the QF codeshare on Airlink JNB-WDH? No availability online so I presume you have to phone to book?
