After disappearing for the last 6 months or so, it looks like the Qantas Ultimate American Express was re-released in the last couple of days. Same offer as per previous campaigns - 50k points with a requirement of just $500 spend (Qantas purchase for the last 2500 points). Direct link here...

Hi All, Mrs dejium are moving to Toronto in a couple of months, and yesterday booked our one way flights: PER-MEL-SYD-DFW-YYZ (final leg on AA). Taking advantage of the transit rules, we have about 15 hours in MEL and 23 hours in DFW (SYD is only 3 hrs). Like some recent posts, my question is...

Went through the new Terminal 2 today, on its first peak morning since opening. A bit chaotic as you'd expect, but nothing that can't be fixed. A few things I noticed or conveyed to me by colleagues: Check In: While I had carry on only, I'm told that Check In was a bit of a nightmare. Long...

Currently looking at a CX flight from SFO-HKG. An AA codeshare is available for roughly the same price, but having not taken any codeshares previously, I have a couple of questions. Being QP, would this entitle me to AA lounge access at SFO? Apart from extra points earn on AA, are there any...

Hi again all, In a never ending quest for extra points and SCs, I need some advice regarding connections in SIN. I'm thinking of doing the following: 3K698 HKG-SIN arriving 17:30, then QF78 SIN-PER departing 19:45, giving a 2hr 15min connection time. These would be ticketed separately, and...

Haven't seen anything on AFF about the Radisson Big Night Getaway. Is anyone looking at participating? In a nutshell, once registered and after one stay, you earn 50000 Club Carlson points (enough for 1 night in any Carlson property). With the prices of the few Radissons here in Australia...

I've been looking into some Velocity redemptions on an upcoming US trip, but I'm having trouble finding information regarding stopovers. Fare rules say one free stopover is allowed, which I take to mean a stop of more than 24 hours (as opposed to a transfer). Is it possible to book such...

Hi All, I have QF132 AKL-MEL booked (last leg of a LONE4), and I'm looking at a MEL-ADL-PER award flight home. QF132 arrives at 9:00, with the MEL-ADL flight leaving at 12:10. I've only done the MEL int-dom connection once before, over 10 years ago, so I'm a bit out of touch. Would...

JAL's crazy domestic 2 month seat release finally came around for the flight I need on Boxing Day. Now that it's booked, would anyone know how to add my QFF # to the booking? I've got a 4 digit Reservation Number and an 8 digit Order Number, but can't find anywhere (in the process of booking)...

Hi All, Would anyone be able to confirm for me the number of SCs earnt in J on JAL KMQ-HND. From my calculations it's 40. What's throwing me is the ~$15 difference between Y and J. I know JAL are in some sort of trouble, but are they that desperate to get pax? If it is indeed 40, that will...

Hi All, Had an offer out of the blue the other day to go to Crete next May. I'll already have a LONE4 ticket open, so am working through some changes to allow for a stop in Europe. I've worked out that a stop in AMM will allow a cheapish return home to PER, and is also not too far from ATH...

Hi All, My 2 year QP membership is up for renewal at the end of the month :-( Problem is, I've since changed employers so no more access to the corporate scheme (which gave significant savings). My current employer doesn't have a Qantas corporatescheme (one document I saw still referenced the...

Hi All, Planning a LONE4 for December/January, and have a few questions for the crew here. I've done a couple of RTWs but this is the first since joining AFF. The expertise I've already been able to put into practice since joining is amazing - I'm hoping this will continue! First of all...

Hi All, Before I ask my question, it's probably best I introduce myself. From Perth, QF NB with purchased QP (which I know is a touchy issue here!). Love the whole flying experience, but don't have a job which requires any travel (yet). Try to get away a few times a year, unfortunately not...
