    International Qantas Awards Available One way but not Return.

    Its not a private flight for you & wife. Flights will operate if you are a passenger it or not a passenger. Incremental fuel burn for occupied seat vs unoccupied seat is negligible. Highly like someone will occupy the seats. Transiting via MEL is easy (3 min walk). None of that silly SYD...

    Travel Agents that understand the SC game

    TA's get very little to nil commission on air tickets. So you would need to pay the TA by the hour/fee. [= SC not economical for domestic-short haul] My thoughts are AFFers would be "bad" customers and would be demanding for endless options

    AF & KLM are the same. They merged some years ago but operate as 2 brands. Maybe used the same 3rd party low cost off shore phone agent subcontractor as QF (and others)??

    Qantas Round The World Award Removed?

    To the best of my knowledge QF have never had a RTW award product Are uninformed people who refer QF's Oneworld award as a "RTW". QF has ff partners who are not OW members. QF's Oneworld award does need to be around the world. Just meet the stated rules Asking about a "RTW" with (poorly)...

    Card payment sucharges banned in Australia from 2026

    off topic Yes. With some shops/food places an extra fee to use paywave (0.5%?). Hence the hand written signs "paywave not accepted" or "paywave extra x %) Just the credit card processors - banks being very greedy

    Checked baggage through on separate bookings

    1. JAL has continued (from the 2016 OW change) to interline separate OW PNR's. But Jetstar is not a OW airline. Worth asking politely at FRA, but expect refusal. Will need visa depending on passport etc for entry to Japan. 2. At BNE you need to clear AU immigration & customs. with all you...
