    New Perth transit Qantas Club lounge not accepting invitations passes

    How clever so who can actually use this "transit' lounge: Fully Paid up Qantas club members? Platinums? Golds? Business Class Passengers? I always laugh when I think of the Qatar airways setup in Doha. If you are flying business class you get a lovely lounge with everything. If you are in...

    A very long run comes to an end...

    Since attaining LTG 2 years ago I have been sharing love with other airlines. I have since attained and kept VA Gold - it is so easy by just by flying family members around!! SQ is much better than QF (in my view) in economy class. I am trying them next month to Europe in Premium Economy and...

    Flying Emirates? Start Training Now........

    Doha airport is new so the 30 minute bus rides have stopped - they were a feature of the old airport. I love Qatar airways (but have only flown them in J). Three trips to Europe - ATH, BCN and WAW - all has been seemless. The best thing is the menu - anything you want when you want. Much...

    Tickets!

    I have had all manner of problems using QF points to book EK and JQ flights. Here are some observations: (1) The new call QF centre staff have absolutely no ability to do anything that cannot be done on line. Everything has to be called through to real Qantas staff who can do something - eg...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I've always struggled with an economy class passenger being in the First class passenger lounge especially when there are 4 classes - economy, premium, business and first. I think it devalues the lounge for those who have paid to travel in First Class. BA used to be notoriously good at shooing...

    Travel Insurance via CBA Plat AMEX/Visa : is it sufficient?

    I never ever rely on these credit card insurances. I have an annual travel insurance policy. When I did claim - the insurer demanded to know the names of my credit card company so that it could chase the credit card insurance. I refused to provide this info and there were no consequences.

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    I need some help - this year I upgraded my CBA cards to Diamond - then ATO points have disappeared. Then I upgraded my ANZ Gold to a Black now it too has lost ATO points. Which cards still give QFF points for ATO payments (no matter how "poor" the perceived value)?

    Changes to partner earns on QF

    Qantas - this is ridiculously unfair. MEL - Doha - Business Class 80SCs PER - Doha - Business Class 120SCs All I can say is thankfully I reached Lifetime Gold recently - I won't be striving for Platinum - it costs too much and takes to much time. As a friend of mine said: it doesn't really...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    I was somewhat scared of a lifetime Gold enhancement so this year decided to go for gold so to speak and just did the flight time and got there.

    Disappointed in Air NZ Lounge Melbourne

    I have used this lounge on VA flights to NAN and found it to be a standard airline quality business class lounge. It is not like the over the top Qantas First Class lounge but it is adequate. Has anyone been to the Air Berlin "lounge" at Tegel - now that is really something to complain about...

    Urgent help required!!

    Firstly, calm down. The airport will operate as normal. If u are a panicky type just turn up a little earlier. to be running off and changing flights is completely over the top.

    QF took our selected seats

    Of course - my error. I have also had seats changed when checking in in Australia. Last time was last year - SYD to BKK.

    Qantas Club - Denied Access [QP member before CX flight]

    Re: Qantas Club Lounge - Denied Access I don't mean to be rude but First and Business class lounges are primarily intended for First and Business Class passengers. I was recently travelling (paid) First Class on an Emirates flight and a friend was travelling in economy on another Emirates...

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    Thank you for the congrats everyone. It took effect midnight Wednesday when the bonus status credits credited. I did tell the CSM from DXB to MEL that this was my lifetime Gold qualifying flight and he also congratulated me. I feel now like I've passed the exam. It also means by lifetime...

    QF took our selected seats

    This has happened to me as a QF Plat on more than one ocassion. I'm not sure of your status etc but there is very little you can do. Check in staff outside of Australia are not Qantas staff and don't really care. Their KPIs are about how many checkins they can do per hour and who gets what...

    Is the new Qantas A330 Business Class on my flight??

    This is a downside for those playing the Qantas international upgrade lottery - less seats in business and therefore less seats for those who want to upgrade with points. Note I flew this config 1-2-1 back from Singapore last month and to be honest wasn't that impressed - I had 2 children with...
