    No More International Lounge Access on Jetstar Flights (except QF codeshare/JQ business max)

    While not the common experience, I went through the Syd F lounge 3 times across November and December 2025. Yes the J lounge is closed and yes it was peak holiday time. But the F lounge was so crowded there was a 30 minute wait (only for 1) just to be seated at a table, and they were only...

    No More International Lounge Access on Jetstar Flights (except QF codeshare/JQ business max)

    Yes "but" not reward seats as they already quietly made a change overtime that almost all QF award seats book into the other airlines code and not QF.

    No More International Lounge Access on Jetstar Flights (except QF codeshare/JQ business max)

    For all the comments that say QF and JQ are completely different product and business, with different standards, normally I would agree. I never complained about VA and TT not sharing VFF benefits. The difference here is when it suits QF they publicly talk about how they are the one group and...

    Qantas does Vegas direct

    I hope the service is increased to full year round when they have more aircraft,, I'd love this service I visit Vegas in the NH summer time regularly. Also I just noticed there is a Syd > Las sale right now $1000 return in economy.

    Old Q Tags available at lounges

    The writing was on the wall that the days are numbered when they said they were no longer giving them out. I worry that this Christmas dump of tags is a sign the whole thing is going to be scrapped in 2026. The q bag tag system really is the most unique and convenient bag tag system in the world...

    Virgin goodbye for now

    I was a VA loyalist and Plat for 10+ years. Switched to QF with a gold status challenge like above and enjoyed the last 2 years as QF platinum. Its not perfect and definitely some aspects of VA I miss. But I do a lot of international travel and it doesn’t matter how good VA is if it doesn’t go...

    Qantas A380 refurbishment news and updates

    According to executive traveller OQC is going to be an “operational spare” https://www.executivetraveller.com/news/qantas-a380-news While this thread would indicate they probably need it. This seems highly inefficient to keep an aircraft they spent many thousands refurbishing just to keep...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    So I decided to call the Qantas cyber incident number to discuss the situation and see what the current position is/ what to do about it. I'm 99.99% sure I got Hobart when I called (fairly sure I have spoken to this rep previously for help with a booking which was a good experience). However...

    One point rewards promo??

    The difference 30 minutes make. Would have saved me 2 hours and possibly better chance at a better prize. Someone just before me got the final international flight available.

    One point rewards promo??

    Wow you are so lucky. I joined the queue at 8am, got to the front at 2:15PM. I got 12,900 points from the crane game. After also waiting in line for the crane game I was out of there about 2:45pm. I was so over waiting I didn’t even think about the line. Knowing this I should have doubled back...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Its media spin, enter the US legally on the correct visa for your purpose and there shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve travelled plenty to the US lately and if anything the process has been easier not worse. FYI, watch Australian border security tv show for a few minutes and you will find our customs...

    I need to change the travel date for a hotel booking I booked with the credit, looks like most it has been fine but @zzap post has concerned me. If I cancel and rebook, what happens to the credit will influence my decision. I want to confirm is the credit clawed back now or is it still as...
