Amazing that in this very LONG article you don't anywhere mention that when Qantas Frequent Flyer was introduced under the CEOship of John Menadue in 1987, it was not for flight redemptions but amassing points could be used to purchase Golf Clubs, Ride on Lawnmowers and the like as there was...

A few have said they were surprised by this and I was too... I think Virgin might be as well, judging by the fact that it's nearly 48 hours and still no response or comment on their media page. I think it's a great move and now gives a decent alternative for QFF that don't want to fly JQ...

Read the article, it's for domestic only. Both airlines have made it perfectly clear that it does not apply anywhere but within the borders of Australia and NZ (separately). If you choose to fly AKL to DRW on NZ then you would book AKL/MEL/DRW (for example) and the AKL-MEL segment would be NZ...

I think you're spot on mannej - I had a look at the iPhone/iOS App and logged out and back in again and on the 'My FF' tab it shows my name, membership number, points and ... yes... "Qantas Club Bronze" - so, I wasn't aware of the IT problems they had but I see now and you're right - they've...

I wasn't game to go any further than the options on the page - lest I inadvertently purchase... so I just backed out and called them. Seems I'm not the only one then - I had to go through 2-3 supervisors before they assured me it was still valid.

Thanks - yeh I have mine but also have the newer red one with Life on it (with the chip). So, that makes me feel better. I was worried before I called them that this was some fine print rubbish that had come through in an email that I was supposed to respond to or forego the membership but...

Just a note to anyone who, like me, has this type of membership... I logged on today, I haven't travelled on any carrier for a few years now but account is still active and points still valid and the last few flights I had were with QF. I'm used to logging in and seeing my FF number and...

I agree, although I don't do anything like the flights you do. I have managed to save points though, have nearly 600,000 and that is likely to grow by next year when I want to take my kids to Disneyland... I'd really like to do First Class MEL-LAX on the A380 then come back from SFO on the...

My intention isn't to be vindictive, just to dispel the aura that seems to surround the company, which IMHO is not deserved. Air NZ is an innovator, VA is a larger company than Air NZ yet Air NZ seems to be continually re-imagining the travel experience, both in fleet choice and in the...

It's not their Valet, its a contractor that doesn't even operate from their building (despite the old AN Valet area at most airports still existing) - just another cobbled together piece of cough to make it look like they're matching the competition... Morale is dropping because there have been...

Thanks Gazza, just a bit sick and tired of all the 'hype' and 'cult' that has been built up around VA... it has far worse systems, not a scratch on QF - on top of that, QF not only was the launch customer for Amadeus Altea but it's Airport IT people developed the system for Amadeus... that sort...

Hype is the problem vs substance None of this 'identity crisis' if you want to call it that is surprising at all. There is a lot of hype and mystique surrounding JB and while I am assured he is a 'nice guy' and all that, he is not the messiah that everyone makes out - incidentally, I read the...

Damn!!! Came over using up last of my Velocity points to fly in Row 1 so was hoping to get the Skybed on the way back... never know I guess, there could always be an eq. change. Thanks for the reply, I checked the flight and there were three seat maps - one INTL cfg and two DOM. I'd heard it...

Hi All, Travelling with the kids in Business Class on QF476 on the 14th PER to MEL. Does anyone know if QF are using A330-200 with Skybeds on these services or should I expect the standard A330-200 domestic seat?? Thanks!

Actually, First on Vacation is for Captains and 'equivalent' ground personnel such as Airport Managers, General Managers and up. It goes on grading and from memory First entitlement in Management starts at what used to be admin levels, which are now basically 'management contract' positions...
