First sector today. Very light load (~50%), so poor candidate for testing shadows - mine obviously stuck. What I did find interesting was seeing how many window/aisle seats in Y+ were open after check in closed, despite rows 16-22 being full (of people, not just blocked for weight/balancing...

This was the first thought I had when QF announced Y+. I usually stay away from rows 4-6 on golden triangle sectors, but reliably get them from row 7. I’ve booked into Y+ seats for a trip this week - we’ll see how I go…

It's being discussed in this separate thread, but QF have launched a 10% bonus points promotion for charge card transfers made from now until 15 December 2025. I've only had the Plat since January 2025 and have accrued only a very small (~90K) MR balance in that time. I will definitely be...

This appears to be a targeted offer (presumably only open to people who have previously made a charge card transfer) - I didn't get it.

Had another SYD-MEL sector on the 321XLR this week. Boarding started as I was going through security, and in the rush to get on the plane I left my noise cancelling headphones in the overhead compartment. Having given it a go for 90+ minutes instead of the 5-10 minutes of sampling I did on my...

I was on OGA this weekend in Y for a SYD-MEL hop. Overall, observations were very similar to @MEL_Traveller - I’ve bolded the ones that I agree with/were consistent with my flight. To add: 1. The aisles are definitely wider than a 737; particularly in J, but noticeably in Y also. I usually...

I know comments have been made in the threads for earlier DSC campaigns, but I have definitely noticed a general slowdown on DSCs posting from previous periods - several recent October 24/March 25 bookings have taken 5-6 days to post compared to the typical 1-2 days before the most recent...

I got one on a morning SYD-MEL earlier this week. No notification, I only noticed when I looked at by BP after scanning it to get into the lounge and realised the row number was much lower than I had recalled selecting. Definitely wasn’t a normal op-up, as my BP had ‘Thanks for your loyalty...

DP: I've flown a couple of MEL/SYD/MEL trips in the last fortnight as a single pax and haven't had any joy. One of the sectors had a very empty J cabin, but I think the others were ~80% full.

From the March DSC thread:

Well done Qantas, you’ll get a few thousand more from me in cash/revenue than you were going to before today’s change re lifetime SC…

No lived experience with either question, but if one of the tickets (either the SYD-MEL or the international leg) is a QF award booking, QF say they will check bags through to final destination on separate tickets if the sectors are operated by a OW carrier. I suspect if this is a policy that...

Agree with most of the comments here re space and prying eyes. On golden triangle routes, if I attempt to work on the plane at all - big if - it is generally only on morning flights, and never a laptop; I’ll either use my iPad with a Magic Keyboard, or just use the 90 minutes to try and clean my...

So strange. I reckon I tried it on at least 20 same-day flights since November without success, and most of them were several hours before departure. Were you using the desktop or mobile site? EDIT: Actually, maybe it doesn’t work when fly forward is turned on? I’ve only used it to check...

Came here to complain about EF’s seat map not working for same-day QF flights since at least late last year, only to discover SE (which I also sub to) has been able to check them for months! I never use fly forward with QF unless I’m relatively confident I won’t be allocated a middle seat on...

Yes.

Stumbled across an interesting glitch with the QFF points total in the iOS app/desktop website today. I've haven't ever noticed any calculation errors/lag between transactions posting and the total updating. However, today, 4 x Citi Qantas Rewards transactions posted to my account early this...

Some DPs: I hadn't heard back from AMEX after ~10 days, so phoned them and asked for an update. Unfortunately, this wasn't sufficient for AMEX. I asked what constituted a "utility bill", but they couldn't give me examples - just that it was one of the categories of accepted ID. I'll have to...

I definitely agree that after making the first changes to points earned from flights in almost five years, they aren't going to move to a spend-based points earn methodology anytime soon. But I don't see why they would have to do spend-based points earn first, before they did spend-based status...

The Australian managed to get a few more quotes out of Glance re today's changes: Typical spin; though at least QF hasn't gone down the contemptuous route by suggesting the changes are in response to customer feedback (ala BA). I'm also not sure the "1k out of every 13k seats are premium...
