Hi All SQ can’t offer me award seats on United even though United is showing availability for their members for the flight I need. Anyone know how to transfer SQ points to United? Thanks

On the 23rd of February, my wife and I booked BA Sydney/London departing 30th June and returning 21st August. I note that we received less status credits for the return sector in line with the reduced partner airline earnings after 1st of July. I recall when Qantas announced these changes in...

My wife and I are travelling in J on BA from London to Hong Kong next January using points. Much to my surprise, BA charges $115 each to reserve seats at this time. They advised me that there is no charge if reserving 24 hours or less prior to the flight but but of course, could not guarantee...

My wife and I recently returned from Zurich holding a BA ticket to LHR then a separate Emirates codeshare ticket on QF2 to Sydney. Zurich checkin refused to book our luggage through to Sydney, firstly because the bookings were not on one ticket. When I queried that, they then said that although...

We are due to fly from Chicago to Heathrow on AA in July but as we arrive late we have to stay the night at the Heathrow Hilton before flying to Zurich the next morning on BA. We would like to book our main luggage right thru from Chicago to Zurich if possible to save carting our luggage around...

Hi All, For years, I have used a Westpac Platinum Amex Card with points transferred directly to QFF. Recently, while complaining to a friend about the difficulty of finding available flights using points on QF, he said that he now uses an AMEX Platinum card and retains the points earned at Amex...

When flying into Turkey recently, I had trouble finding out if Australians required a visa. In the end, I found that Aussies must have a visa but they are easily obtained at major airports on arrival at a cost of $US60 or 45 Euros but must be cash. Clearly marked signs direct you to the Visa...

Has anyone had the opportunity to book their luggage straight thru from Zurich via Frankfurt to Sydney. We will be flying Swissair or Lufthansa from ZRH to FRT then picking up Qantas to Sydney later that evening. We certainly dont want to have to pick up our luggage in FRTand rebook it again if...

I am curious to know if there is an Award seat available, will that same seat always appear in Anyseat at a generally equivalent cost? I noticed recently that when I booked an award seat, the equivalent Anyseat that had also been available had suddenly increased to a much greater number of...

Although booking 12 months ahead using points, I could not find a through flight from Frankfurt to Sydney in J but was able to book Franfurt to Singapore on QF6 some weeks ago and I have now been lucky enough to grab the final leg Singapore to Sydney on QF6 also to connect with the first leg...

I am not clear wether my one year status can increase at any time or must you wait until your present status period expires and then start another year at the higher level? Are status periods linked to your original joining date? I can't find the answer on the QFF site.:)

Does anyone else find Qantas a bit rich in their booking fees and change of date/routing penalties?:evil: Having failed to find a return award seat LAX/SYD last May, I ended up buying a return LAX/SYD as that was cheaper than a oneway fare. At that point I just nominated the latest date possible...

Anyone travelled on QF3 SYD/HNL in business class recently? Aircraft is a 767 so I presume reclining seats only rather than lie-flat? Will be hard to handle after experiencing business recently on the A380 but I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks Realestate

Having tried for months to get a FF seat in business(Bronze member only) on Syd/Lax on May 25th May,I eventually gave in and purchased a seat 2 weeks prior (Ouch!) Bought return as it was cheaper than one way. Then I find there were at least 10 empty seats in business on the flight over:evil...

I am not clear if higher status QFF members get to see more availibility than I do as a bronze member? I understand platinum members can request seats to be made available to them if not showing:).

This is my first post/blog so please go easy on me. My wife and I are travelling SYD/LAX on May 25th on QF11 and to date have been able to get only 1 business class seat using points and that could lead to divorce if I cant get a second. I check daily but never see another business class seat...
