    Obtaining a Downgrade Refund from QF

    Thanks for that information, I was returning from San Antonio. Downgrade was for DFW through to MEL. How do I access the refund?

    Obtaining a Downgrade Refund from QF

    Thanks for the advice. I’ll go through the motions although I am expecting QF to charge me top dollar for the premium economy seat

    Obtaining a Downgrade Refund from QF

    Hi, I'm not having much luck on the phone with an endless stream of QANTAS "consultants". If anyone can offer me some advice it would be greatly appreciated. I had a paid J ticket (purchased on QF website) for QF8 (DFW - SYD and QF423 (SYD - MEL), leaving DFW on 14 October. QF8 was cancelled...

    QF8 DFW-SYD cancelled 14 October 4 hours after boarding began. Faulty A/C unit. Downgraded from J to PE unfortunately but probably lucky to get a seat tonight.

    QR MEL to YUL via DOH

    Thanks SYD, Booking class is IJHQUCSX on my receipt and Business (I) on flight summary. Not sure, but I think that is "non-lite".

    QR MEL to YUL via DOH

    Hi AFF, I haven't flown with QR before. Heading to YUL from MEL tomorrow (24/4/2025) on QR905/763. I can't seem to work out which concourses for my arrival/departure from DOH. Flying J only 2 1/2 hour stopover. Even though a short stop would like to use a lounge for a shower and quick look...

    Time to say goodbye to the flying kangaroo?

    Yep, that's why I started this thread. Have spent too many years loyal to QF.

    Time to say goodbye to the flying kangaroo?

    Well I did seriously consider Dajop's comments. Have just booked a QF J to Portland which will almost close the lifetime QF gold deal. 50% more expensive than SQ, so feeling a bit dumb. Hopefully QF will have a plane available to cross the pond.

    Time to say goodbye to the flying kangaroo?

    Whoops, thanks Dajop, I don't know much about Star Alliance clearly. I do have a lifetime QC which I picked up for $3K a few years back, so does make LTG less important to me.

    Time to say goodbye to the flying kangaroo?

    It's very sad that Alan Joyce has turned a great airline into what QF has become. I am considering changing my airline choices and would really appreciate your opinions. I'm currently QF gold with 400 SC to platinum (won't get there by my anniversary in January). I have 13.5K lifetime SC with...

    What's your favourite 747 memory?

    My first flight on a QF "Jumbo" was from Melbourne to LA when I was a about 10 years old. I spent most of the flight from Honolulu to LA in the flight deck and I think that this set up a life long obsession with aviation. Many years, and flights later, I had my best experience in a QF 747. Was...

    QF Sydney - Vancouver - do they still fly that route?

    In January I did MEL-YVR with a Californian drive thrown in. The Trump-Wall-Public servant issues settled 2 days before we came home. Here's how the various airports compared: Arrive LAX one and half hour queue at Customs. No wait for bags. Further 90 minutes before keys in ignition of rental...

    QF Sydney - Vancouver - do they still fly that route?

    I flew to Boston last October in QF F. Missed my connection due to the clunky baggage process, transit bag area a chaotic mess. That said, I walked out onto the street and back into TBIT and spent the next 8 hours in the QF First lounge. Was somewhat bored after a nice breakfast and too early...

    QANTAS flights too expensive

    Thanks heaps ftm. I'm leaving Chicago on 27 Oct. How did you get that sequence, is it off a single booking site?

    QANTAS flights too expensive

    Shame about the a350, it runs from Adelaide to Doha, adding a couple more hours to a long trip, meaning a departure from Melbourne earlier in the evening, so a bit tight if working that day.

    QANTAS flights too expensive

    I've had another look at all of the options Qatar comes in at $8.4K with only one stopover, not having to deal with transit issues at Sydney, a bit over 30 hours each way and great airline reviews. I need 430 QF SCs for platinum so Qatar would fit the bill. Is this a mistake?
