    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    SYD-MEL came through, 3500pts $125 on a Red eDeal ticket. Was thinking of offering the minimum and may have got it as right now at T-20 the cabin looks half empty.

    New Qantas Lounge Heathrow Terminal 3

    Was there in January before a BA flight to Europe. Really great lounge, good food in the restaurant and some lovely staff. Popped into the BA lounge just before my flight and glad I didn't waste too much time there.

    Re: Double the Qantas Points you earn on the ground (UPDATE - and in the air) Tried registering for the first promotion using the Register Now link and I get a confirmation for a double points on flights promotion (different promo). Using the link at the top of the message did work though.i...

    Re: Double status credits 2/3/17 - 6/3/17 Basalt - did you book the flights as Flex Y or lower? If lower, did they charge a change fee for paying up to J? Thanks.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I don't see a difference between the two. LAS-CLT I would define as West Coast USA to East Coast USA. If in First the table says 150 SC's. The calculator also shows 150 SC's for LAS-CLT city pair (with AA as the carrier).

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I think they would change all existing bookings over to the new codes - no reason not to. I wonder though if you could claim ORC through QF based on the original booking codes - provided you have the eTicket/itinerary that has those codes.

    Heathrow airport changing terminals

    I don't think you can, unless there is a TA trick of linking the PNRs and then calculating taxes and fees as if one ticket.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options If booking through ba.com if you click on the flight number it will show the selling class for the flight. I did a test and it showed K for the Euro Traveller segment. Note that BA Tier Points do not correspond to QF SC's - always check QF's...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Unfortunately, QF are not very generous when it comes to BA WT+ fares. For the actual WT+ segments (LHR-LAS-LHR) he would get SC’’s at the flexible economy rate which is 70 per sector. For the Euro Traveller segments (OTP-LHR-OTP) you need to...

    Roomba, Dysons, Thermomix and other household appliances

    What's the noise level like on the newer models? I've got a DC23 (about 6 years old) and have to say it has gotten quite noisy - particularly the turbo brush.

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I think he would have to have 2400 SC's to qualify for the complimentary Gold membership benefit. Check the page on benefits of Platinum membership on the QF site. https://www.qantas.com/fflyer/dyn/flying/tier-benefits#benefits-of-platinum

    re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Just tried to PM you but discovered I don't have enough posts to do so (need 15) Can you PM me? :) I've been trying to replicate a routing from the BA Tier Points thread on FlyerTalk without much luck. (LAX-PHX-JFK-DCA-RDU-CLT-ATL-MIA-PTY...

    First Cabin design workshop

    I know this probably sounds like first world problems but I did two sectors in F recently (SYD-LAX & DFW-LAX) and was quite underwhelmed by the bathroom amenities. On both flights each bathroom had almost empty hand wash bottles and the hand cream must have been very old as it had quite a...

    Change Frequent Flyer no

    I've done this before and found the best way is to ask the gate agent before boarding to change it (or if there is a general customer service counter nearby). Make sure to ask for a new boarding pass so that you can check the number has been entered correctly. My experience with lounges...

    Time for new card when platinum qualified?

    Thank you :). Merry go round indeed! Already planning trips for next year to retain status, lol. Interesting. I wonder if it is because you qualified with more than 1400 credits. I hit exactly 1400 (thought it would be 1405 but miscalculated an AA short discount Y sector). Or perhaps...

    Time for new card when platinum qualified?

    Is it normal to get an email when you qualify for a new level? Have not received one for my Gold qualification three weeks ago nor Platinum qualification two weeks ago (thanks to a PTY run ;)). Status has been reflected correctly online and on BP's. Wondering if I should call the service...
