Do you understand that this only applies to bookings departing before end of October or also to later flights as long as you cancel the award before end of October? I read into this that as long as you cancel by the end of October the award cancellation will be free even for flights departing...

Actually, still a way to redeem points for flights if you go via the quick links in your account...redeem flights...but everything else is dead

Yes, getting the same message. Can't believe they pulled the plug on everything including flight redemptions just like that within a few days!That's just crazy!

Looks like all links to redeem points have disappeared off the site!?

I had my eye on some wine a couple of weeks ago but then thought...nay, it's not going to happen this quick...now it's too late even though I read everywhere that Virgin would still have months before they run out of money...who wrote those articles?!? Can't even book hotels with points...

That’s about 5 F class return trips to Europe per year! Unless someone knows an easier way. I will hit for the first time almost 4000 this year but end up short of making GGL as I just can’t fit in another trip to Europe. And generally even 3000 is a stretch. I am working towards LT Gold as...

In general is it possible to change the booking using those certs though?

Can we not apply the cert to a future booking now and then later cancel and attach to another booking? I understand that floating certs will only get a pathetic point refund but if the certificate is applied to a booking it should no longer be floating, right? Im asking because I don't know yet...

Re: First time flyer on codeshare I'd be interested also to know whether if flying EK from SYD, the all-day check-in is possible? We are leaving at 6.50pm on EK to BKK in F and would like to get to the QF F lounge as early as possible to possibly snatch a spa treatment as I believe these cannot...

Re: Platinum reserve flight changed to travel credit and pooling of multiple travel c Am i the only one who didn't get contacted by Amex about the change on my reserve card? I don't have plat charge but had reserve for years and always use it for return flights to Queenstown so definitely...

Re: Hilton HHonours Macquarie Platinum Card Has anyone noticed that the new offer for this card is not just fee free (potentially for life) but also comes with TWO weekend night certificates instead of one for sign-up AS WELL as each year when meeting the minimum spent? That's insane value and...

Is it possible to apply for this card at half the usual cost and once the QF bonus points have come in, is it possible to switch to Citipoints earning (for Krisflyer etc points)?

Just got a text from SQ to say that the strikes are again planned for tomorrow (Thursday). I tried to google any news but can't find anything since they put the strikes on hold a couple of days ago. However, the articles mentioned that this was only an interim stop and they would make a final...

Thank you for everyone for your constructive ideas. Just wanted to update this thread with the outcome. After LAN actually made a second time change on the flight I would have been happy if they could have just checked our bags through on the NZ flight. But apparently checking bags through to...

Unfortunately not because the QF flight only has flexible tickets lefts now. Changing flight times is Ok as long as they assist with rebooking if they stuff up your holiday plans...not sure how well known this is for LAN

Probably the best option although I was never successful getting any airline to do this (although this was usually on award tickets and this one is a paid ticket). One other option could be that if I get in writing from LAN that they will check our bags through to PPT on NZ, then I think the...

We're booked on LAN for Christmas to Auckland and then on a separate ticket to PPT on NZ. When I made the booking earlier this year, I intentionally left 3.5h in AKL to avoid any issues with connecting and re-checking bags etc. Today I noticed on the QF website that the LAN flight now departs 2h...

Looks like Check in opens 3.5h before for BA16 in Sydney. I changed planes at SIN with a 45min turnaround which must be the quickest way to get to Europe! Only downside was that the first seats on the 747 were much older and the screen resolution was extremely poor compared to the newer planes...

Yes, that's what I meant. Is all on one ticket, so will keep my F BP and hope for the best.... Damn, I read somewhere else that check-in would open 4h prior in Sydney...I might try my luck tomorrow.

Quite likely as oneworld seems to be getting more and more twoworld these days....maybe I can add more frustration after my BA trip tomorrow. But it at the moment I really want to know what time the check in opens in Sydney so I can at least maximise my time in the nice QF first lounge before...
