    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Hmm, that changes the calculus somewhat. Unfortunately, I don't drink red wine very much, so the points won't help me enjoy it more! I'm hoping the wines are of sufficient quality as presents for friends that do like a drop or two.

    Qantas Wine latest offering

    Wondering if I should pull the trigger or not on the red travel bundle. Have the offer for 9 points per dollar and 5,000 points for first Qantas Wine purchase. Plus a $50 off voucher. These will likely be end of year presents, so not in a hurry for the wine particularly. Just curious if more...

    American Airlines Booking - Confused about Qantas seat selection and check-in

    If you can't do via QF's manage booking web page (assuming you have the QF PNR), you should call AA and see if they can assign seats for you.

    48 Min transfer window at LAX

    If you have QF status equivalent to oneworld Emerald, you might (emphasis on the might) be able to do a "free same-day flight change" to an earlier flight. This is a benefit for AA's Platinum Pro and Executive Platinum members and possible they extend to oneworld partners. The gate agents out...

    Status Retained Emails

    Yes, only QF - no other oneworld flights for me this year, and I'm not counting flights with the competition.

    Status Retained Emails

    Unfortunately no. Yes, actually the same for me. My SCs should have been zero given my 28/2/2025 expiry. Also, when I looked closer my total points reported was about 25K less than what they were on 28/2/2024. As at 3/3/2025 the balance should have been even higher.

    Status Retained Emails

    Funny email from QF this morning congratulating me on retaining Platinum. Started off looking o.k.: And then: Hmm, I know I took closer to 20 flights, not sure how many Km's. Would love to know where the extra 1,481 SCs were credited, certainly wasn't my account 🤷‍♂️🤣

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Thinking of offsetting an upcoming flight but it seems I can only do so with points. Can you only offset with cash at the time of booking?

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Has anyone transferred QBR points to their account? How long do they take to post? Find myself in the unexpected position of possibly hitting PC right before my membership year ends but would need to top up with about 10,000 points.

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    The booking system for credit vouchers does not always show the same fares you would see advertised when making a new booking through the usual method. You have to call QF, explain you cannot book the advertised fare and have them book it for you. They should waive the assisted booking fee. Be...

    Article: Qantas Considers Bringing Call Centres Back to Australia

    I definitely would agree with this based on my experience yesterday with a Cape Town agent. Had a $180 credit vouched I wanted to book a sale NZ trip with. Of course the $499 sale fare advertised on the web that I could book normally is not shown when trying to redeem a credit voucher. First...

    Upgrade pecking order on QF1/2 QF3/4 QF9/10 where the first leg is full but not the second.

    This is probably a basic question, but if you have a booking on QF3 SYD-JFK, can you request an upgrade for just one leg of the flight (e.g. AKL-JFK)? If you did request a straight through upgrade (SYD-JFK) would that be prioritised over a SYD-AKL request (assuming both have the same booking...

    Technically you should get one extra piece of baggage (up to 32kg) on top of the standard 2 pieces for non-status domestic business. This is essentially the same as QF Platinum status pax. If you have issues at check-in you might need to have them take a look at this oneworld page: Frequent...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Never mind. Figured it out - not an option when checking out, have to add it from the green leaf choices (I think 🤞)

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    I'm trying to combine sustainable delivery with either the home offset or the give back purchases, but I'm not seeing how you can add that as an option when checking out. Any hints?

    AA Revamping Million Miler

    Yes, saw this on Reddit this morning and received a message in the AA app. I'm one of the legacy multi-million milers (some credit card but mostly EXP for 10 years from when that level was introduced. Plenty of bonus miles awarded for premium cabins etc.). Assuming the million mile counter is...

    Can a Flex Y ticket be changed to a Sale J ticket without charge?

    In my experience the voucher portal does not match sale fares (at least in J). Provided you get a competent agent, you can call & explain that the fares don't match. The agent should be able to book the sale fare you see and waive the booking charge.

    Bangkok Airways Boarding Pass and Baggage Interline QF Codeshare

    I have done similar trip last year but from Koh Samui. Bangkok Airways through checked the luggage and issued boarding passes for the QF flight. We asked if we could access the Blue Ribbon lounge (PG's business lounge) but were politely turned away as we were not in Business on the PG flight...

    Make sure to check the price of flights using the regular booking page first. Sometimes the voucher booking process will only offer flights that are priced higher than what can be booked regularly. When this has happened to me, I call and the rep can book with no fee the regular priced fare and...
