I've just had something weird happen. I googled Qantas to get the link to make a booking. The usual links to Qantas displayed. However, at the end, there was a message: .......................................... Photo (see below) Your Frequent Flyer Number Only you can see this number...

A friend in Adelaide has been trying to make a domestic booking all day on Qantas. This morning, it wouldn't accept her credit card details (no known issues with the CC) and she was on hold with them for about 20 minutes then hung up. Later, booked the flight intending to pay via BPay, but the...

A UK friend plans to travel J class LHR-SYD April 2013, for about a 6-8 week visit. Within Australia, she will be doing some flying (particularly SYD-CNS) but I don't think would be going to the smaller airports. She has not flown internationally for nearly 30 years, but in a few weeks, will...

According to Qantas' initial press release, the alliance will start in April. However, an article in AFR yesterday said 1 July. Unravelling the Qantas Frequent Flyer code A friend is flying LHR / SYD late April / early May 2013, and I told her about the proposed changes. Now, I don't know what...

Just received another QF promotion for male sport (Socceroos). I'm so sick of their promotions always targeting men's sport and other interests, not women's. What about netball, Opals (women's basketball), Hockeyroos, Matildas, women's cricket etc? Thousands of women fly every year to...

I'm flying SYD NAR about 16 April returning about 30 April and have 2 choices: Qantas Y $999 - sale price Jetstar J $2762 - with all the add ins (I do like to eat, will have booked luggage and will get SC and points). Having read the Jetstar disaster stories, I'm inclined to go with what I...

I've noticed over the past few months that there is a difference in the calculation of SCs for fully flexible Y fares. If domestic, then the fare rule states: Classed as Economy when Points or Status Credits are earned. However, if international, then the fare rule states: Classed as...

I'm flying SYD-DFW in September returning October WHY both ways and have received one of the upgrade offers. At present, the offer is Y+ or J both ways. I've applied to upgrade to J but wondering about the Y+ upgrade. Is there much difference between WHY and Y+ on long haul? Should I also...

A few months ago, Qantas sent me one of those "double your status points" emails, which I'm busy using. Today, they've just allowed me to request an upgrade of a QF discount Y flight Sydney / Dallas to Business!!! Had to double check that my eyes weren't deceiving me. Of course, it's not...

I've been browsing the AA site this morning and notice that they have a large number of routes on sale. Also noticed that they have some good winter vacation specials (flight + hotel) to various places, including London for 6 nights at between US$599 and US$989 twin share. Packages end from...

A friend and I considering a DONE4 about April / May 2011, preferably flying westwards. We don't want to fly overnight unless unavoidable. No problems flying to Europe and North America, but we're having difficulty finding OW daylight flights back into Oz. The only one we can see is SIN/SYD...

Hi all I'm a teacher in Western NSW, taking 5 secondary kids down to Sydney in September. They booked after they found the Qantas Link specials that were on a couple of weeks ago. This will be the first time any of them have flown and they're very enthusiastic / nervous. Don't quite know how...
