    Velocity status lounge access

    I have been searching for awhile and cannot find the answer so maybe someone here could help. I hit silver status a few weeks ago and purchased lounge access as I didn't know how much more flying I would be doing. To my surprise I am about to hit Gold in the next few weeks and will get lounge...

    Took your advice and booked this to OOL - MEL- xSYD (flexi) but I was told that if its on the same booking you only get status from OOL-MEL regardless of change of flight. Is that correct or am I looking forward to 40 SC's

    Qantas New Check In Seating Allocation

    All, Just checked in at ROK for BNE and was told that you cannot ask for emergency exit rows anymore due to their new system that came on-line this morning. I have been calm until now about QF/JQ with late departures/dogey aircraft, but if this is true I will be switching my travel...

    SYD-PER best chance of upgrade - QF565 or QF566

    Febs, Normally the 747-338 is the older version, so no skybeds. I've travel J on the 743 a few time to Perth and found the old J seats like the ones on the 767/737. So I think your out of luck their but being a 5 hour flight, J is a nice way to go coming back from Perth. I think you would...

    G'day am a newboy and need lots of help Please

    Welcome Peter I personally don't like using travel agents for travel insurance like AIG. I'm about to head to coughet (yes again) and have gone though my health insurance provider. I'm with NIB and found them significantly cheaper than AIG or Vero. I got a quote from the travel agent for my...

    Bangkok In March

    After travelling on both Singapore and Thai, my money is with Singapore for economy. Even though you have to route through Changi to get to BKK I liked their service and hospitality. Thai on the other hand are still ok but I travelled with them back in August (business class) and found them to...

    BNE QF Check in??

    Yeah, made it but I was dead last and I don't think the crew were happy me. Advice : If you bump into a moderator or Lindsay for that matter, don't start drinking with them, you'll either miss your flight or end up with a nice headache. Speaking from experience. :oops:

    Storms in BNE tonight (Mon 8 Oct)

    Well I made it to my plane dead last as I was drinking with LW. Just made it. Worst flight ever. Dash 8 to MKY and spent half 3/4 of the flight with the belt light on and heaps of turbulance. Not that it worries us glider pilots, we look for turbulance (best thermals). They even had to stop...

    BNE QF Check in??

    Anyone been through BNE Check in this afternoon. Just had the worst experience with QF to date. I'm off to MKY and headed to the QP line or Business line. That was my first mistake. The line in the Business que was 15 deep as was the QP line and this was at 1645. I looked to the front and...

    Qantas Credit Card Charges

    What is the GO with Qantas charging transaction fees for using a credit card. I understand that the user pays for using the credit card and happily (annoyingly) pay the $4.40, can't really avoid it unless you Bpay. My gripe is that I just got stung for booking two tickets ($8.80) for the one...

    Herts 5 Star and PC 2007 membership cards

    Just looked at my account and seen that I have hired more than what the 5 * status requires and decided to ring Hertz to see where my card is. There response was 'yes I have reached the 5 * status' but I won't get a card or be able to use my status until next year. I said to them what's the...

    A380 when do flights commence for general public

    Spot on with the age and I'm still laughing, great post. Lets see what happens. I'm in the process of purchasing scale die casts of all the airframes that I've travelled on as I recently walked into a store in BKK (MBK). I am about 7 short but I couldn't help but buy a Qantas a380-800. Its my...
