Just back from a Qantas award in economy on Qatar - Seat selection was free. Paid Qatar Economy booked via Virgin last year had to pay for seat selection. Virgin Awards in Business on Qatar, last year no problem with seat selection. In business there is no bad seat, except for 18D/F on SQ...

I was referencing the experiences reported here. You'll be happy to know I found awards from Qantas flying Qatar today In economy! with $800 co-pay each way! This is for the end of February. I'd rather pay money and earn Avios... Not sure how you make that claim, care to outline your reasoning...

LOL You got international economy awards less than a year in advance. Well done. That's very easy, I even got 3x economy and return premium to LAX 6 months in advance. Talk to us when you get business awards, young padawan. Well the fact that I got multiple business awards to europe last year...

I guess one difference is Qantas will give you points and won't shaft you with the $50 voucher for MAX, like Jetstar do

Again, depends on Qantas for double status on Jetstar. Much like the promo where Qantas gave double status on QF, EK and AA... not sure how it's possible to say it's not up to qantas to give double status on jetstar...

I hope soon, I've got a few optional trips and also China and UK needed this year. double status would help push that money towards Qantas. At the moment, Qatar, Malaysian and Turkish are looking pretty interesting as options, and cheap. I'm pretty sure the Qantas double promos include flights...

No according to the news reports liked in thread, and multiple "experts" replying to @nancypants Yep indeed, @jb747 and @nancypants both seem to know what they're talking about. Not sure how to resolve all the others in thread telling them they're wrong...

Did you actually read the OP? Because if you did then you'd know the lost item was a separate bag that was zipped inside the outer bag. So not only did the other bag burst open... somehow. But the zip inside also undid itself, as if by magic... <redacted>

Wow... See this thread for the definition of Mobbing... Can not blame the OP for not returning... Some people are so sad.

Must be because I give my business class dollars to Qantas' oneworld "competitors". Personally, the lack of "exclusive" events and the basic IT problems* mean I find no value in green teir, personally. Always check here to see if that might have changed. * IT problems - adding carbon offset to...

nice Well yes, they say there are exclusive offers. Is it safe to assume you've got one of these offers?

Has anyone actually got anything special from having this green tier? Let my lapse as it seems like greenwashing feel good nothingness. So has anyone got any of these alleged exclusive offers?

Looks like I got the missing points/status for by JQ flight in early november. Initial contact was a rejection, went back to them to point out the confirmation listed my QFF number. No response. Then missing points claim with Qantas, and then Airline Advocate complaint. The requested resolution...

I've successfully dealt with this type of issue in the past. Firstly, when is the next jetstar flight? What I did was tell them the prior flight is not acceptable. This was because I had to be at work at the time of the prior flight. They offered the next flight which was the next day. I then...

Oh noice. Got the fairly regular Spend $50 for 4 weeks and get 10000 flybuys points offer. A few status credits to top up since I'm spending anyway will be nice.

Qantas are such a joke. They've given themselves the perfect out. Well in Australia there is no right to privacy, especially in a public place. It's an unenforceable condition. Also important to note that "retaining" the property of someone else against their wishes does have recognised tort...

Yeah, totally. Working out the value is hard. The other downside of max pack is while it's changeable they charge a second max bundle fee when you change.

OP has already CLEARLY told us they do not have separate bookings

That's great. Personally I don't want to have JQ flight credits. Also the Qantas points came in for the outbound flight perfectly fine. The lack of a way to nominate points when changing a flight is a problem with the JQ IT systems. I should know better. But also I did check qantas points was...

Glad I saw this thread earlier. I have had the something happen with JQ (not 3K). This is on a single booking return to Narita. I changed the return flight to return a day early. Having seen this thread I checked before confirming that the revised itinerary said Qantas points as the reward. I...
