I know this question has come up in the past, for not for a few years I think. I'm looking to book flights to Europe for next year. Departing Sydney, but could fly into Madrid, Paris or other Cities. Not too fussed. We're still fairly flexible on dates so can avoid school holidays etc...

An interesting trip this week Syd-Melb-Syd. My first Domestic flight since Covid I think! How things have changed. Turned up at valet parking in Sydney and was asked if I had a booking. Seems you have to book now. For my return I'm getting in two hours earlier than planned. No worries I'll...

Hi All. I'm coming out of my cave of the last three years and planning a few trips. (ex Syd) I have a shed load of Qantas FF points and wondering the best way to use them. Trip to Europe. In looking for flights, I could not find any classic reward seats available over a 4 week sample period...

Hi Folks. Happy New Year I have a trip to Europe coming up (Emirates) with a short hop in Europe with Iberia Express. Booked this a few months ago. Couldn't do it via the website as it kept freezing up. But managed over the phone. Very helpful Customer Service rep stepped me though the whole...

I confess I have never used Qantas Online check in. Never saw the point. My wife and niece are departing Syd-Bkk soon and I'm wondering what the benefits of online check-in might be. They have Econ tickets with a request for upgrade to Business. I guess I'm concerned that checking in online...

I have to drop off a couple of people at the International Terminal in Sydney. I'll hang around 3 hours or so till their flight leaves. I was checking out booking parking online, rather than just rock up as I normally do. But it's a bit confusing. If you look at the three options. The...

Would really appreciate some advice as I haven't done a "fast stop" like this before. I'm passing through DBX next year flying Emirates Business Class. Getting off at DBX for less than 24 hours for a couple of meetings. It doesn't make any sense to book a Hotel I think....... I arrive at 5:15...

I have an internal flight to make in Spain. In the past I have used Iberia's discount carrier Vueling, who were quite good. But they don't fly the sector I need anymore. Looks like Iberia Express is the main (only) option. So I just wondered if the extra cost was worth it to sit up front, get...

OK, so I haven't flown Internationally in about 3 years! But planning a trip from Australia to Europe (Sydney-Madrid-Sydney) in March 2023. Hoping to use Economy with upgrades. The issue I always 'had' previously in booking these flights is working out which sectors are actually flown with...

I'm trying to figure out how and why this happened, so as to avoid it in the future. Short story. I'm in Sydney. My wife has been in Bangkok. We changed her return flight (BKK-SYD) a couple of times recently. She was checking in this afternoon in Bangkok for QF24 to come back to Sydney...

Sorry if this is a dumb newbie question..... But I have spent hours on the QF website and chats with their agents and still can't get a clear answer. Have tried calling but they are always experiencing 'long delays'. Hopefully someone here knows the answer! Next year (April) I need to fly...

I'v just been reviewing some routes for a trip to Europe next year. Ideally flying an and out from Madrid or Paris, I'd prefer to fly Qantas metal as I have Gold status. More chance of upgrades, access to lounge etc. So I thought I'd look at the routes I could pick from. London via...

Please forgive the rather newbie type questions, but this stuff confuses the hell out of me! I'm flying Sydney - Paris (CDG) - Sydney April 2018. I want to buy economy seats for my wife and I, with the best chance of upgrade to Business. I could go Qantas or Thai. My Thai status is only...

Sorry to ask a really dumb question, but........ How do you know when Double Status Credits are on offer? Does Qantas send a promo email? Never seen one. Maybe it only gets sent to certain status levels? Do you just trawl the Qantas site in the hope of finding one?

This year I didn't maintain my Gold status, hopefully back up next year. Or maybe not...... The difference has been interesting. No real change on the actual flying bit. But....... It's now very hard for me to reach anyone at Qantas by phone. In fact I don't event try anymore. And same...

Hi, I'm not having much luck finding this on the Thai Airways website, so hopefully someone here has some experience of this..... My friend has offered to give me his Thai points, so that I can use them for a long haul upgrade from Econ to Business. He is ROP Platinum. I am Silver. Any idea...

Hi, Whilst I've been a Qantas FF for 20 years I haven't paid much attention to Status. I was always flying fairly often. But this year I haven't flown much and I'm concerned I won't keep my Gold Status. I'll need to rack up 350 SC by the end of January :-( I have to go up to Bangkok, so...

Am I missing something here? I hope so......... I'm just booking some Qantas flights for next year. Sydney -London Then London - Sydney with stop over in Bangkok. I'm booking economy and plan to upgrade using points. Except..........the return flight is via Dubai and a code share with...

Hi Everyone, Just looking briefly at this site I can see I have a lot to learn! I travel mainly in Australia, with one or two overseas trips each year. I've been a Qantas frequent flyer for 20 years, but I have obviously not been using that membership to best effect! I'm stuck at Gold...
