    SCAM $99.50 Gift from QANTAS??

    If it's of any help, the status upgrade email is not instant but takes a few days to arrive. One of the faster processes at QF, though...

    AFF Gathering #17 in BNE on 18 - 20 October 2024

    Going to the airport tomorrow? A public transport option is to catch an express bus from Roma Street, near the station and opposite of the police headquarters main entrance.

    Lost baggage compensation after it is ultimately returned

    From the outside perspective, wouldn't a compensation be a way to 'make good'. The other way, returning your bag, would achieve the same 'make good' from the airline's viewpoint. Could the question be more around TI reimbursing for any necessities you purchased during the 21 days? Though, if...

    @NM What time does the dinner start, please? It's 6:30 for a welcome drink but when is the main event planned to start? 7 pm?

    Lunch was great! Looking forward now to the dinner tonight. We had the gang of seven, though QPProl went back to the office before the photo. How boring... 😉 Travel, destination and point accumulation/ usage experiences and tips shared, worth a couple of RTW's already. 😎

    Shorts & polo for me, too. And sandals. It's QLD, after all - the weather invites for comfy attire. 1729219225 Pre-lunch drink. A pilgrimage destination for me every time when I'm in Brissie.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Perhaps I should have tried to be clearer in my writing. When asking for QF291/3K779, the agent submitted it but the bot came back empty. When asking for the return trip, 3K780/QF2, the agent told outright that they can't submit partner originated requests. She offered to check if QF2, though...

    Updated weather forecast for the weekend: dry, generally pleasant though Saturday afternoon temperature will be at around 33C. Friday afternoon is windy - just right for landing runway 01 L/R so you'll get nice views of the CBD on the left side of the aircraft a couple of minutes before...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Came back empty-handed this morning. The first call dropped, then I had trouble connecting but then got though to Hobart. Early January dates SYD-xSIN-CRK and SYD-MNL rejected. The same with late January return MNL-SYD and MNL-xBNE-SYD. For some of the return date options, the bot didn't even...

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    But that "small fee" can add up to +30% to the expense. Relatively speaking, a clear increase.

    Exit row, $15 each (on many flights VA seems to sell exits for lower price than Y front rows). Going to stay put. 1728940879 Exit row, $15 each (on many flights VA seems to sell exits for lower price than Y front rows). Going to stay put.

    Qantas Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    I've had different upgrades for different legs, some received in SIN at the gate. If you don't get it in advance, it's still possible (though rare) mid-trip.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Another newbie question on the topic: do the requests apply to QF mainline / own metal only or can I add a 3K connection to it?

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    The responses to this sound like this WP benefit is available to them only, i.e. requesting for a family member is out of the question. Correct???

    Having lived ten years in Brissie, I do remember what to expect. Happy to tell when the downpour has started. 😉

    Test your knowledge of frequent flyer programs with AFF’s Quizzes!

    "You got 33 out of 40 questions (82.50%) correct!" Much higher than expected given how little I use and pay attention to these.

    The weather on the weekend looks quite OK for Friday and probably most of Saturday. Looks like Sunday might be rainy, and both Saturday & Sunday afternoon possibly a bit windy. Though these forecasts keep changing so better keep an eye on them if you were hoping for outdoor activities or walking...
