"Qantas Points and Status credits are not earned on this fare."

I'm flying Qantas MEL–SYD–SCL and then, after a 19hr30min layover in SCL, SCL–GIG on LATAM. The flights are all on the same PNR (made as one booking via AmEx), but Qantas didn't allow me to check my bag through to GIG, and didn't provide the boarding pass for the SCL–GIG LATAM flight. The...

Re: QF Upgrade Success Rate My PE to J upgrade on QF95 on Fri 4 Sep came through this morning. All the best J seats (according to this thread: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/new-qantas-747-400-3-a-33263.html) are already taken, so I've picked...

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Assuming you can spend the time, SYD-LAX in Y return is $1147; with the remaining ~$850, getting the rest of the SCs (160) ex-LAX is pretty easy. But it'll take 3 days minimum.

"As of February 2015, the backlog of undelivered 777s totals 278 aircraft, representing just under three years of current production at 8.3 aircraft per month" (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_777#Production_updates_and_improvements). "On June 25, 2015, the Wall Street Journal...

I stand corrected. The couple of searches I retried returned more reasonable fares, and I naively assumed that all of them would have been fixed.

The fares appear to be gone now (checked on Orbitz and Hipmunk).

And I just booked two return flights on the sale fares that ended at midnight. I wonder if it's worth booking another at these prices and canceling last night's for future credit. Thoughts?

Re: MEL-LAX return on QF in Y for not very much Ah, thanks. Mods, feel free to merge or delete this thread. Apologies for the duplication.

Re: MEL-LAX return on QF in Y for not very much Really? I can't find it.

MEL-LAX return on QF in Y for not very much A day after the QF sales end, and there's a crazy low fare for return economy MEL-LAX. EDITED: I've removed details of this fare for now; what's the policy on posting what may be a mistake fare, given than it may go away when it's revealed? Seeking...

Can you check the SC earn? I worked it out as 400 SC. There's another run (or half-run, maybe) I know of with availability in September 2015 for AUD2.07/SC. It's been mentioned here before: LAX-ORD-MIA-ATL for US$399 (on selected days) for 250 SCs. I've also seen the reverse for US$444, or...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Here's another row for your table: FROM TO VIA DURATION CARRIER CLASS SC PRICE VALUE LAX LAS ORD,MIA,ATL,CLT,PHX ? AA (US*) F 450 $1,371 3.05 Sorry, I didn't work out the minimum duration. All flights are on AA flight numbers...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options LAX-ORD-MIA-ATL for US$470 and 250 SCs (from http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/best-status-run-options-quick-35258-17.html#post1136670, but still available now) looks pretty good to me. I'm...

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Oh, that was a scare. I just checked my US bookings for my upcoming trip, and they're all in A, not P. Whew!

Good pickup. I've made my own spreadsheet (since Mileage Monkey doesn't yet have the updated rules), and I'd made a mistake.

I've been looking for flights in Nov for my trip, and the best I've found is SEA-DFW-LGA, $530 for 240 SCs or $2.21/SC. It seems that the old favourites of SJU, SXM, etc. just don't work out under the new earning rates. And while the addition of US Airways to the oneworld alliance adds more...

Re: North American AA earning First Class I haven't been keeping up with AFF for most of the year, so I can't hope to catch up in all the changes in a hurry. I've only skimmed this thread and a couple of others. I've been planning a US trip, including various AA & US flights in First (for...

My offer came in around 21:17 tonight. I'm well short of renewing WP this year so far, but my year ends in Nov, so there's still time.

I had to double-check because I wasn't sure myself, but 3K is actually Jetstar Asia, the carrier based in Singapore, not Jetstar Pacific (code BL) based in Ho Chi Minh City. (Proliferation of Jetstars is confusing!)
