    TBIT 'Qantas' Business Lounge - extremely confused, as are staff

    This actually happened to me in Sydney at the First Class Lounge !! I had booked on a Qantas, Code Share with Vietnam Airlines Flight to HCM City and the young lady denied my access even though both my Wife and I are Platinum. She insisted I use the Business Lounge. The Boarding Pass showed the...

    Velocity Member Survey Exclusive to Platinum and Gold Members

    First Airline to offer Lifetime Platinum gets my business, I am already lifetime Gold with QF and have accrued enough Status Credits for 3 Platinum Memberships, (over 38,000 since I started) but they still refuse to even entertain Lifetime Platinum, QF have their head in the sand on this matter...

    I've felt the sting of the QFF Loyalty Middle Finger

    I've (haven't) felt the sting of the QFF Loyalty Middle Finger Not sure how you initially approached Qantas, but I had the same problem, that is not being able to travel for 12 months after being Platinum for as long as I can remember, and I simply emailed the Loyalty Department, explained the...

    Time to give up on Qantas

    Like Waterline, I have been a Platinum Member for many years, as has my Wife, and we are each Lifetime Gold, (a couple of times over). I agree that Service has declined and that on most Flights, particularly meal flights, once you have been served, rarely do you seem to see the Crew again...

    Online survey and interview suggests QFF points for Woolies may be on the way out.

    Re: Online survey and interview suggests QFF points for Woolies may be on the way out I will watch with interest, we swapped our Family Supermarket spend from Coles to Woolies because of the EDR/QFF Points, the Coles Fly Buys are completely useless, whereas as a QFF, any points earned that can...

    How would you run Qantas?

    2. Your costs are higher than most competitors, in both the domestic and international markets. It is probably time the TWU and others were bought to Account. For the past decade the various Unions have run campaign against Qantas, and now, perhaps they might understand that their actions for...

    Frequent Flyer programs and Personal Financial Plans

    "and use ASA as opposed to Classic awards whenever possible." I always look at ASA when planning trips, but, the Points required has always been astronomical compared the a Classic Seat, is there any clever way to find ASA Seats at a reasonable Point Level ??

    Hey Qantas, why is it that ....?

    Here's Another... Why is it that when we use FF Points for Travel, there are no Status Credits recorded. 1. Qantas does get Paid for the Flight by the FF Program Company. 2. A Flyers Status is very important to them, and as these are "Paid" Flights, albeit at a lower Rate, they show the Loyalty...

The Tickets are a combination of Any Seat Awards and Cash, given the possibility of civil unreast, as happened a few months ago, does anybody have any prior experience of how...

    Upcoming Qantas Frequent Flyer Changes

    QF009, you are right 100%, as mentioned earlier, I have been with the Qantas Program over 20 years, the last 15 as a continuous Platinum, and it is time to reconsider alternatives as the Platinum Members keep having their benefits diluted in comparison to those flying less and paying Qantas...
