Hi all, probably a noob question - I know a lot of people purchase tix departing foreign lands online eg on separate itineraries, and on the research I've done ex BKK is very cheap (I want to use points to Asia and then purchase from Asia > Europe separately). QF have a limitation on online...

New to Velocity - I know this doesn't work for QF but if using Hotelclub or similar with MR bonus points, is it then possible to do a retro points claim on the Velocity website and double dip? I realise that the it shouldn't in theory, but I can't see anything about why it wouldn't on the...

I'm still waiting for my status match to come through. I saw a while ago that some people where getting into the VA lounge by showing their QF status card - is this still active? I'd love to test out the lounge next week (if my status match hasn't come through). Am looking at transferring a...

Hi, So we all know that booking online from different sites has large price differences eg BKK vs SIN and some on this board have posted that they've successfully booked online from an overseas location (in fact it looks like the only way to do it online). BKK obviously has the credit card...

Hi all, I'm after some ideas on travel to LHR Q1 or Q2 2012. *Will have around 200-220k QFF points *Am thinking my best bet will be to buy one ticket with cash, and use points award for the GF (also good for SC earn, want to retain QF Gold next year) *Would prefer to fly PE or J *Ex SYD...

Hi all, I'm starting to think about a trip to the UK in 2012 and trying to figure out the best approach. At the moment I'm tossing up between a) Just buying 2x PE returns - it seems like JL and BA both have $3200 fares which is good. b) Using some points to redeem 1x QF PE fare (I will have...

Having been an FF junkie for a number of years now I can't believe I'm even considering this, but I'm struggling to justify keeping any of the frequent flyer credit cards (currently have the QF Amex Ultimate, came with 50k bonus QFF points and ANZ base FF Amex/Visa that I've had for about five...

There’s been a few reviews of the Jetstar international StarClass on this site but not heaps so I thought I’d add another. I flew Jetstar StarClass to Japan a couple of weeks ago. My previous experience with Jetstar was extremely limited (a couple of domestic flights years ago), and given a...

I'm QF SG and generally travel domestic economy between Aussie capital cities for work pretty regularly plus maybe one/two leisure international trips per year (usually try to use QF/CX for status and lounge access etc). Anyway, this year I couldn't pass up the JQ StarClass sale to Japan so...

On the long weekend I noticed that the Virgin Blue site wasn't processing check in etc. Arriving at the airport they were on manual mode. The check in assistant told me that they had just done a large system wide upgrade to their check-in back end (seemed like a totally new system rather than an...

Hi all Grabbed some travel insurance today via Flight Centre and noticed they have about 2% surcharge on Visa and MC, and more on Amex. No drama this time as the spend was only about $200 but if I was booking a DONE4 or something I'd want to minimise the surcharge but still put it on an Amex...
