    QR economy

    I returned home last night from a trip to Paris with QR in Y. First time with Qatar and Never again - will stick with our favourites, Emirates / Singapore Airlines next time for long haul to Europe. We flew all legs both directions in very old 777s.

    Earning QF status credits on QR flights

    That's excellent advice thank you - I will do that. I was not aware that VA could earn points flying QR as I have a heap of those also. Thanks again - it is great to be back travelling again after nearly 4 (for me) long years!

    Earning QF status credits on QR flights

    OK , I have just discovered my fares are "S" and "T" class economy fares with QR. Based on this - do i assume I will NOT earn either points OR status credits with Qantas for this? If that is the case, should I link my flight instead to Privilege Club? (I had not even heard of S or T class until...

    Earning QF status credits on QR flights

    Trying to find the fine print on this and hoping for an expert's advice on here as the QF website is vague on specifics! Have booked return flights on Qatar Airways to Paris and have entered my QFF number in the booking. Are these flights eligible for QF status credits if NOT booked through the...

    Booking through QF website for EK flights - disadvantages?

    I am not a business traveller but fly with QF to the USA a few times per year to visit my son, hence have silver status which helps achieve points business upgrades on those long flights! We just returned from a trip to Europe flying with EK (and booking with EK) but linking our QF FF numbers -...

    Reduced layover time at YVR - should I change my flight?

    Thanks for your input. I agree with your thoughts - and Qantas were fantastic, rang customer service and they changed it over so we now have 3.5 hour layover. Without that I would have spent the entire trip stressing we'd miss our flight home. :)

    Reduced layover time at YVR - should I change my flight?

    We are booked (using Qantas) next January flying from Kelowna to Vancouver (Westjet, but booked with Qantas) onto Sydney (Qantas). Westjet have changed their flight time, now giving us only 85 minutes layover before the 8pm flight home. As it is mid-winter I am concerned that small airline...

    Multi-city pricing

    It is something I was looking into for after Xmas this year so had plugged in various dates in late December and returning mid January. The multi city ones only come up as a "flex" fare. Maybe I need to wait a few weeks and try it again?

    Thanks for that link kelvedon - sounds promising, and would certainly make the option of flying Y more bearable IF they still do that!

    Thanks for all your replies. We will be travelling Y with a points request for a J upgrade but presuming we will fly in Y.
