    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    Would be hard to offer "priority access to overhead lockers" then I guess?

    Last Minute Qantas Status Credit Flight Options?

    How much is Gold worth to him? CBR-SYD in J is $565 at the moment, that'd get 40, then get home however cheapest.

    Quit complaining about that aircraft swap

    I mean if they live in Siberia, I doubt that was even the worst thing that happened to those people that day.

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    That's part of the problem, there's only a limited amount of information on the card, and chocolate does come under dairy (and parts of plants). Packaged tea is allowed but is also part of a plant, etc, etc. Sure the website explains things but who checks that? A digital arrivals form can...

    When will Australia get modern entry procedures?

    I went to Malaysia recently and was blown away by how quick and easy their passport gates are. It really is kind of embarassing how clumsy our two step smart gates are (that's when they work at all), not to mention still having to fill out the silly paper form which no one actually looks at...

    Amex free insurance - rental cars in Australia?

    Nothing really, the only thing is I've had this card for quite a while and I was *sure* that it didn't include domestic rentals. I wonder if it's a new thing since the change to Chubb or if it always did and I had just misunderstood the policy (which is quite annoying if so, since I've spent...

    Amex free insurance - rental cars in Australia?

    The PDF document I linked doesn't cover the Ultimate Amex card, so possibly that has different terms which exclude domestic rental. I believe the policy makes it explicit that domestic rentals are covered - the table on page 16 has columns for both "International Return Trip" and "Domestic...

    Amex free insurance - rental cars in Australia?

    Does seem to be covered according to my reading of the policy docs (I have Elevate card as well): https://icm.aexp-static.com/Internet/internationalcardshop/en_au/pdf/elevatepremiumcard/elevate_premium_insurance.pdf

    Amex free insurance - rental cars in Australia?

    I've used the Amex free insurance for rental car coverage overseas successfully a couple of times, but never tried to use it in Australia. Has anyone ever successfully claimed for a rental within Australia using the free cover?

    Pickpocketed in Bangkok: by Qantas

    "A one-time exception", lol. So next time they charge your card without authorisation you're SOL!

    Does MEL T2 still require LAGs to be in plastic bags?

    As per the thread title. Can't find definitive answer on Melbourne Airport's website.

    Old Q Tags available at lounges

    I do wonder if QF are basically scrapping the idea of Q tags how long the scanners are going to keep supporting them. (I also wonder why they're actually scrapping the idea, it always seemed like a "genuine" enhancement to me!)

    Checked in but no boarding pass issued and instructed to see airport staff

    WIll be interesting to see if you're as sanguine about it after you've spent several months fighting for whatever refund you're owed for the downgrade :)

    Honestly what is the point of QFF now

    Looking at MEL - ADL, 21st January (a Wednesday). Over two months away. The only classic award in J is at 8:35am. The only classic awards in Y are at 6:15am or late afternoon. More than two months in advance. What the **** is the point of QFF any more?

    Qantas Economy Plus Launching Feb 2026

    Honestly I'm happy to pay a little extra for an extra legroom seat, but if there are 48 of them on a 737 it might be worth waiting until check-in for the chance of a free one as an SG.

    Upgrade Dilemma

    International upgrades don't "clear quickly", even as a Plat you'll find out at most a week before the flight. Personally I would never book Y in the first place but if I were you and those were the only two options I'd be looking at the cancellation and booking PE myself.
