I made changes to an award booking around 6 weeks ago - QR and BA. I know that QR tickets need to be issued straight away so I stressed that point to the operator.

Hi, I've just received my new QF Platinum membership and after reading the important information section it says that I will have access to the business lounge in Dubai. Has this always been the case and are you not able to enter the first lounge as QF Plat?

I'll be flying from Perth to Melbourne and I'm wondering if I should make the effort of flying the 787 over the A330. I'm not concerned about the seat or the plane but more about the soft product. Will there be a more comprehensive J menu with more choice or will it just be a replica of a normal...

Hi, I have just started an international trip and my status credits expire today which will drop me back to gold. However, my Cathay flights taken 2 days ago will enable me to re qualify. Do you know if the system will drop me back or give me a grace period for credits to appear? Given that I...

Hi, I'm going to book a Y ticket with Emirates to London and I read that as a QF platinum that I get to select certain seats for free. However, when I go to book the ticket on Emirates I don't have the option of free seats. So is this an actual benefit? Does the benefit only become apparent...

I am planning a trip from Mel to Miami next year with the intention to book in premium and upgrade to business. I am trying to work out which QF flight to take to the USA for the best chance of an upgrade. Should I opt for the A380 to LAX under the assumption that the 787 will be more popular...

I am looking at an award booking to Bangkok and I am unable to find anything in J on QF. I have called Qantas and the allocation has been exhausted so they are unable to release further seats. I have found seats on Emirates to Singapore and then flights on Jetstar to BKK although this leaves 8...

Hi, I have flights booked from Manchester to Melbourne and I have just seen the option to bid for an upgrade from Y to J with my flight departing 1st Jan 2019. The flights were very cheap sale fares. The costs look extremely high with the minimum amounts being $1,060 and $1,880. Both of...

With the reduction in capacity to London are their any views on the amount of upgrades being made available up to business class? I am considering booking a PE ticket to London on Qantas with the hope of using points to upgrade to J. However, there is a distinct lack of award tickets available...

Hi, I am planning a couple of trips to the UK next year. One of them will be in paid J whilst the other will have to be in Y. I have heard that some airlines offer upgrades over email prior to trips and some are open to you asking for them at the airport. I am currently Qantas platinum so my...

Hi, I'm planning a trip to Perth next week and I have just realised that I can book seats on QF9 and QF10. How will I be treated for this domestic flight? I am assuming that I will have to follow the same protocols as if I were flying on an international ticket - check in times, liquids etc? I...

Hi, I'm looking at fares from Melbourne to JNB for March/April next year. Sale fares are currently $4300 return and availability is very good. Does anyone have any insight on prices, is this a good deal? Prices even dip a little at Christmas so I'm wondering whether I should wait for a better...

I have an old pair of Bose QC15s that are falling apart so I'm considering purchasing a pair of QC25. I have never considered buying anything from the Qantas store due to my perceptions of poor points redemption value. However, I've just received the 10% valentines offer from Qantas for...
