    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    Acknowledged, that is the latest version of what I posted. The one I posted, clearly stated the Federal Governments change in position in respect to Norfolk. It stated “From 1 July 2016, travel to Norfolk Island from mainland Australia will be classed as domestic travel”. The updated version you...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    Yes, acknowledging it is a special case in terms of a lot of things, but, personally, I don’t think any of these special cases form an adequate definition in terms of “domestic travel”. Acknowledged. My point was that Qantas was using close proximity to another country to form their opinion of...

    Is Norfolk Island a Qantas International Destination?

    I have travelled to Norfolk Island a bunch of times since Qantas took over the route and more often than not via J Classic Award. I only just noticed on this occasion that I am receiving 24 Status Credits for the flight (Points Club), which indicates an international destination, instead of the...

    Credit Card Points to convert

    Welcome to AFF Your challenges are: Citi Credit Card converts 2:1, so you have 98,000 Velocity Points. (Singapore conversion is worse) Velocity requires 80,000 points to get a one way economy. Sept is very close (in terms of Award seats) and is School holidays, so would normally be quite hard...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Unclear to me....... I definitely align myself to being a typical AFF in terms of most things and certainly in terms of redemptions...... but in terms of earning status, I earn enough on strictly domestic economy flying for work to get gold on both airlines - gives me good diversity and serves...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    Yes. it makes sense to an airline focused 100% on revenue/profit......... it does not make sense (to me) for an airline focused on loyalty/customer service!!! these are the things that establish your brand, create trust and a long-term relationship with your customer........ which will...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    Welcome to AFF. Your first credit card adventure, sounds like a challenge....... - Points crediting in 5 weeks - risky - you need to apply, be successful, get the card, spend on the card and get your end of month statement, before you get the points. You will then need to transfer these points...

    Ethics of status runs

    I believe that is the argument being put forward - That the status run contingent is not big enough (on any single fight) to trigger the need for extra flights, all they are doing is improving the load factors on a small contingent of existing flights. Fully appreciate the reverse argument as...

    Ethics of status runs

    100% agree. For some of us, flying is a recreational activity - yes, we actually enjoy the activity of flying and sometimes more than the destination. Status runs allow you to participate in your recreational activity and make your next flights even more enjoyable (with the status it brings)...

    Help me get to Canada with Qantas Points

    Skytrans to Operate Q400s for QantasLink

    Yep, understood that. Just using "Dash 8" in the broad sense - Should have said "Dash 8 (200 series)" which is how they are referred to by Qantas...... they all feel the same to me when I am squished inside......
