We have flights to US/Canada departing end of March - various bookings with QF (international) and United / Air Canada (US<->Canada). If we cancel now and want a refund instead of a credit voucher, we have to pay the cancellation fee, as the flights are technically still flying. If, on the...

Hi Matt_01 Did you cancel online or did you call and have the fees waived by the agent?

Qantas’ value proposition continues to deteriorate... compare this with FREE EconomyX for Plats in first three rows of Economy - has to be a strong reason for me to choose QF over VA for domestic travel these days...

QF 833 tonight CBR-MEL Weighing all carry-on. A LOT of annoyed customers. Comments like “is this Qantas or Jetstar”? As a result, we were 20 minutes late leaving the gate as well. I was wavering until now, but Qantas just pushed me over to VA for first choice. Plat on both, and with VA I get...

I I realise this is a somewhat pedantic question, but: when you got the new status, was the review date exactly six months from that date (i.e. 10th March) or the end of the the sixth month (i.e. end of March)?

Could this be the first year in many that there is no Christmas Voucher offer? Usually runs for the month of December, but I haven't seen anything as of yet (6th Dec).

For me, it comes down to where the non-stop flight starts and ends. As I live in Melbourne, I don't see any value at all in SYD-xx_ non-stop flights, unless there is no other way for me to get to xx_. For instance, I would rather fly Melbourne to DXB / DOH / AUH / HKG / SIN and then on to...

It's because you can use your card at the gate (where this thread started). As it doesn't show what seat you're in, you then need the printout to show to the FA when you board. On Virgin you just show your phone or paper BP. If you couldn't use your card, there would be no actual need for the...

Sorry - should have explained better. Example of what I meant: - companion offer is $6997- MEL-LHR Business Return - current comparable competitor flights (CX, QR, EY, BA) are all low-mid $6K fares for comparable periods in 2017, no need to fly with anyone else Doesn't seem like much of a...

Why is it that Qantas offers a Premium Companion 'Sale' where the Business Class fares with the restriction of having to travel with someone else are more expensive than travelling alone? And substantially more expensive than most alternatives of a similar standard (lie-flat beds, etc)?

I just checked my online statement and I also am still getting 2 points per $ on the Black Visa card. I guess I'll keep using it until they change the rate to match the new terms...

My points have posted as well - both the 10,000 and the double points for flying. Nice Christmas present!!!

Yep, sorry what I meant is: I have ~$3000 worth of forward bookings to make, each over $500. From the T&Cs, I can't see anywhere that prevents me from buying 6 x $500 vouchers and using then using them to book my flights today. Which would give me $3000 x 10 = 30,000 points. Or am I missing...

Shouldn't that be up to $2000 per voucher? I couldn't see anywhere that you can't buy more than 1 voucher for a single recipient - or am I missing something?

Easy answer really - just fly Virgin for any port where the Qantas Group airline is Jetstar, and then fly Qantas everywhere else. Works for me...

This is what you get when you put someone who is an LCC aficionado at heart in charge of a premium airline - gradual erosion of loyalty benefits and increased/new charges introduced as 'program enhancements'. I'm sure we'll see more of these 'enhancements' down the track, unfortunately... not a...

If you're thinking of flying with V Australia to the US and then connecting to their 'partner' airline Delta for US domestic connection, I'd advise you think again. After checking in with V Australia in Sydney last month, and then connecting with Delta in LA, no frequent flyer points...
