Cheers. Out of interest what time was your JQ intl flight? I'm wondering if 6.40am in intl at MEL is relatively quiet or otherwise. I'm not too worried about being stuck in the queue for a long time, I recall that if you're in the queue they'll generally announce for passengers queuing for a...

Thanks, but what do you mean by JQi's "deadline"? Do you mean the "check-in closes 60 mins before departure"? If so then I have no issue with that. I'm happy to turn up 90m prior for the 0640 flight, compared to 3 hours prior as the website suggests.

I'll take that...if I can turn up at 5am and safely make the flight I'll be happy, given the "3 hours before departure" website instructions mean rolling up at 3.30am.

Yeah, I'm dreading it tbh. Mind you who's good Melbourne to Bali these days? Last time some friends went they were flying that airline that went broke the day before they were due to fly back. Merpati or something? I checked a heap of flights and it was like $1200 return at best (direct)...

Can definitely check in online, but between the 2 of us we'll have 1 bag to check in. Is that just an auto drop like domestic?

It's been so long since I've travelled international, and I've never done so with Jetstar. A friend has booked a group trip to Bali, and we're going out from MEL on JQ31 at 0640 on a Thursday morning. Ack! Any suggestions from the brains trust as to how late I can safely turn up and still make...

Thanks. Did you have to give them a reason why?

Does anyone know if there's a way to access your entire flight history with Qantas, i.e. since you first joined as a frequent flyer?

I know right? Maybe I take her there and my justification can be "well this is the first time we've been to the same place a second time"? :) 1669693282 I hadn't heard of Virtuoso, i'll check it out, thanks. I found a ~12 year old post while searching this site that talked about a few...

My wife and I have a bit of a tradition of taking it in turns to organise something new each year for our wedding anniversary, it's made for some great experiences over the last 20 years. One of our favourites was a few years ago when she discovered Crown's "Crystal Club" here in Melbourne, the...

I finally got onto the operator after 2 hours and 40 minutes, they couldn't explain why I couldn't separate, but did it for me. Phew.

I did it all online direct through the Qantas website, they're paid flights, no points used. Booked maybe 2 months ago. Kinda thought i'd meet all the requirements for being able to split, not sure why not. 2.5 hours on hold now. If I just turn up to the airport tomorrow would i be able to...

Thanks for the reply. I only have "Edit", no "Separate". Maybe too close to flight time? Over 2 hours on hold to Qantas at the moment, still no answer.

I'm supposed to be flying MEL-PER tomorrow with a friend, and I made the bookings. It looks like he's not going to be able to travel as he's pulled up crook today and is off to get a test. On the QANTAS site it tells me I have to "separate" a booking if I need to cancel the booking for only some...

Necro thread revival! I'm doing this trip again on Friday, and have done the same F upgrade request on my D class fare. I dug up this old thread as I couldn't recall the website you can use to check upgrade status ahead of Qantas showing it. But now I'm on there, there seems to be no...

Genius! Alternatively I could probably just hold my phone up to my ear as soon as I get to that point, make out like I'm in deep conversation.

Thanks, much appreciated. I don't have any status at the moment, I gave up my flying days quite a few years ago. Just checked and yep I'm Bronze with 0 status credits. So the only priority I get is what you're given by being in Business Class I guess. Does that get me into the priority...

Hi all, I'm off to Vegas (from Melbourne) in February for a work conference, and have a couple of questions for those of you familiar with LAX, particularly TBIT and T4. I'm travelling in Business Class, and have an upgrade request for First Class, but with zero status it's unlikely so let's...

Hi again, it's been a while but you lot helped me out greatly back in 2010 when I last did MEL-LAX in business class for a work trip. I ended up using 40k points to fly in first on the A380 outbound leg. Which made the flight in business class back on a 747 feel decidely shabby! I'm making...
