If you have boarding passes, the best thing is to just email frequent_flyer at qantas.com and include the flight details and boarding pass scan/screenshot. I had one flight missing from an AU-SIN-HEL-LHR trip, and despite being knocked back twice using the online form, once I emailed, it was...

I notice the TAP website claims Portugal now accepts Australian certificates: Alerts and informations But would be nice if the visitportugal website listed that. Perhaps it will be updated soon.

I've done this before without any issues. Checked in at T4, then went airside and took the bus over to T2 (now T3), and tried out the Qantas First Lounge. That said, there could be issues with turning up too early, as would be the case here. Having said all that, Cathay is currently operating...

I don't believe it's conditional on it being a QF 081 ticket. It's certainly worked in the past when ticketed by others (AY for one). QF code booked and QF metal are the requirements.

The biggest features of Premier are Global View (Seeing all your accounts from the one internet banking - you still need to go to the other country's site to do anything other than see balances though, but the login is simplified if going from one to the other), and free (and instant) Global...

If the scheme wasn't available to Australians, it would remove an incentive to buy from an Australian retailer before travelling, vs buying when overseas. As it stands, no GST is collected, but at least the Australian retailer/distributor/etc. get the benefit of the purchase.

Oh whoops, I just realised the (bit of a) status run I booked with the AY HKG-LHR fare has me in London when this lounge crawl is on. Next time!

Just realised this would make a great SC run for the start of my year. Will depend on whether I can get some cheap (probably MH) J flights from HKG to make a weekend of it. $7/SC isn't terrible, but hopefully something better will come up. Anyone else coming from HKG?

Is it just me, or at some point in the last year did they replace the x-ray machine where everything went through on a tray (and the trays are automatically sent back), with an older style x-ray machine? I quite liked the new one. Unlike the ones with multiple stations to empty your belongings...

As of iOS 13 Apple devices can use Bluetooth to talk to other nearby Apple devices which eventually results in the owner being able to locate the device. There's info on the Apple site.

When the new system was introduced not that long ago, I had a flight credit while I was in the lounge. It's definitely much faster than it used to be.

I just got an offer, as a resident overseas, for DSC on flights from my country of residence to Australia. Pretty similar dates, but in my local timezone.

Preferred seats are free for Gold and above, so that doesn't seem so bad?

The FF number is still in the barcode (at least, I presume it's still there), which is easily decoded if you have a photo of it. It also has the PNR....which is more problematic.

If a booking class isn't listed in the table for an airline, then it doesn't earn anything.

I haven't received it. I have an address outside Australia listed...anyone else in this situation? I've wondered whether I'm likely to miss out on other promos and should just change the address back to one in Australia.

I wouldn't take much notice of SeatGuru. It typically has no idea what layout is being used anyway, and given no passengers have been on this layout, they wouldn't have much useful to say. There are plenty of cabin configurations I've been on recently on airlines that don't show up there.

No need to buy more than 1.

For anyone thinking of using status and then crediting to a different program when flying CX - flew a couple of flights last week that were in non-earning classes for QFF. Kept my QFF WP number in there when boarding, until about 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time, as the last...

That's easily enough time to head into the city for a meal. If you landed by 17:20, you could probably expect to reach Kowloon or Hong Kong station by about 18:30, depending on how quickly you walk (the other day I landed at 20:45, was at Hong Kong station at 21:45, after spending 10 minutes...
