Yes, DC3, no problems whatsoever. Never even been mentioned with CX, JAL or BA. Mind you, the advice from Qantas chat was to cancel tickets and get them reissued. That would have meant the end of our J award trip, so I’m very grateful to the members here for their commonsense advice not to...

I appreciate all for your replies and suggestions. Very complicated situation and travel insurance won't cover because Mum is over 80. The drawbacks of travelling around the world with aged parents at home. My siblings at home have been vehement that I don't rush back, and suggested Mum's...

We're in London, midway through a three month 318K Oneworld Award trip and have just found out my aged Mum (90) is in palliative care with only days to live. We're scheduled to fly to Singapore in a month's time, spend five days there before flying back to Perth at the end of Feb. I understand...

Thanks JavierCus. I am greatly reassured by your comments and the fact that you had no problems in your recent travels. I have asked to have our middle names added to our QFF profiles to avoid any future problems.

ellen 10, thank you for your reassurance. It feels so silly, but we fly so rarely I cannot relax knowing there is potential for a problem. Thank goodness for the kindness of folk on this forum for sharing their experience!

Bless you Woodyren, as that is indeed our same scenario. And Silvia, thanks for sharing your experience. Oh I feel much better now. We are at the start of a three month long house swap experience to London, so it would be very heartbreaking if we weren't allowed on the flights.

Thanks DC3. On a previous trip several years ago, never had a problem either. But have read a few stories of passengers being turned away in recent times with the tightening of security measures around the world.

Steveinparadise, thank you so much for your calming words. Two days out from our three month long trip, I just want everything to run smoothly!! Will turn up nice and early to the airport and pray there's no complications. Our next leg is with JAL from Tokyo to New York, and then BA to London...

That's very reassurin,g MEL_Traveller. I am freaking about USA in particular. We booked this award flight combo months ago and would never be able to get another one at such short notice. I've learnt that it is to do with the QFF site not allowing a field for middle names. Causing me a lot of...

My husband and I due to fly out on a 5 stop oneworld QFF business class award flight. On going to online check in for our first flight to Tokyo via HK with CX, message 'there seems to be a discrepancy between the passenger name(s) and the name(s) on the document(s).' As our passports show our...

Overdrive app on phone loaded with books and audiobooks - endless selection, all for free using your library card. Font adjustable. Bye bye kindle. Movies and music on the iphone too, but the Overdrive books have been a game changer. Compression socks and packing cubes are a must. If travelling...

Does paying local shire rates constitute government spend, (thus ineligible for earning QFF points)?

We use cable ties. I keep a supply in the outside pocket and ask for a pair of scissors at hotel reception, or at the airport help desk. Have had bags opened and an explanatory note enclosed when exiting USA. I am debating whether I can manage without my laptop on our next RTW in J as it is only...

Thanks so much, Sdtravel. The answer I expected to confirm my suspicions!

Are about to gift our daughter and son in law our annual complimentary Qantas Business Lounge passes. They'd like to use them in DBX, however their onward flight is ticketed EK, even though booked using QFF points. I am confused after reading QFF T & C's. The blurb on the Qantas/Emirates...

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo Thanks for the clarification, Pdog. Good news for me.

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo I am due to receive an ANZ black visa card as an additional card holder on my husband's account. But realise that may have been a faux pas if it will preclude me from being eligible for a sign up offer such as...

I stumbled across this forum several years ago and applied myself with the same dedication as to my day job, to gleaning as much knowledge as possible. The result has been two wonderful world trips with my husband (2 x 280K J trips to Canada/USA/Alaska in 2015 and in 2016 UK/Spain/NYC using our...

I came across your trip report today and really enjoyed it. Brought back great memories of a similar trip we made last year using our QFF points on a J trip to Canada, Chicago, NYC and Alaska. We spent five weeks in the Maritimes, travelling by bus, train and hire car. We travelled by sleeper...

Thanks Mel_Traveller for your reassurance to a dual passport novice.
