August being peak season for USA probably won't be a bargain hunters paradise and it's not uncommon for one way fares to be more expensive than 50% of a return fare. Maybe give Google flights are whirl, that comes...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    True enough, but I've found on occasion the service supplied to modify bookings via Messenger, which was referred to not text or email, to be less painful than the call centre. Slower yes and not always succesful, but when it works it eliminates a lot of phone call hold time especially if the...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    You would hope that a result from any curfew dispensation request would have been known prior to departure from SIN and the aircraft routed accordingly. Although that may be giving to much credit. Sydney airport website had ETA of 2315....

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Why? The price of a bottle is not proportional to the vagaries of taste or, perhaps more importantly in a lounge setting, popularity.

    Qantas DSC October 2024 Offer - book by 31/10/24 & fly 1/11/24-19/10/25

    While we're guessing, maybe not till October seeing they had two last year, if they have one. The once a year date might be moved permanently to October. That would throw some plans askew, myself included.

    Domestic flights from Melb/Syd international terminals

    Personal emergency requiring cancelling the trip. They can't prevent you from doing it, sure might search any luggage but they have bigger concerns than a domestic passenger deciding not to travel.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Does that method work? I'm curious and may try it if so. If the booking was originally made outside the DSC period and you retain the same record locater when changing during the DSC period, would it be eligible given the booking was made outside that period? LIke the method of a placeholder...
