Didn't expect to see this in front of me yesterday afternoon. Massive fail from QF. I was booked on QF541 BNE-SYD at 3:25pm yesterday afternoon (and had scored a points upgrade to J), connecting to QF2231 SYD-WGA at 6:50pm (on the same PNR) QF541 was cancelled some time earlier in the day (I...

So ... through a combination of our company's travel policy now requiring discounted non-flexible bookings by default (bad), and our first baby being due in February (very exciting! - but hence less travel for a while), it looks like I'm going to fall 80SCs short of requalifying for WP at the...

Just received an email at work, and it looks like I may be parting ways with the Red Roo ... QF has been our preferred airline for as long as I can remember. "Together with Virgin Australia, the [large multinational mining company I work for] has negotiated significant discounts across our...

I understand how google ads work, but given one of their "uses", isn't this a slightly odd ad to have in the rotation on a frequent flyer site? (captured on the main site page)

Incident: American Eagle E145 near Chicago on May 7th 2012, pilot left behind Incident: American Eagle E145 near Chicago on May 7th 2012, pilot left behind What a circus. I don't think I would have been too happy if I was a passenger.

Hi guys, Taking Mrs MatF to EnnZedd in September/October (she hasn't been before). We're on QF045 SYD-CHC, departing at 07:15. I presume the FLounge would be open in time to have a nice brekky before boarding? Does anyone know when it opens? Just trying to figure out when we should be...

Hi guys, My sister and her hubby are off to LAX on Thursday. I was wondering if there's a way to see which particular aircraft is currently scheduled to operate QF11 on that day (26/4)?? Just curious if it might be Nancy Bird :) Cheers, Mat.

I've never done a SC run, but I'm tempted this weekend. It looks like I'm going to fall 30SCs short of a loyalty bonus on my QFF anniversary on Sunday. Now it's my understanding that my loyalty bonus SC count will revert back to 500SCs required? I could do a WGA-SYD-WGA run on Saturday morning...

Not happy Jan. Through a series of unfortunate events, I was effectively given an op-down this morning. Booked on WGA-SYD on QF2220 and then SYD-BNE on QF510. I selected my seat on QF510 at the time of booking, and grabbed 26A. At T-67, I logged in and managed to get 23A, and was quite happy...

Yeah, real funny! I'm sure the security boys would find it hilarious! :)

Had an interesting trip home last night. I arrived at BNE for my usual BNE-SYD (QF539), and connecting QF2231 (SYD-WGA) flights. Took my bag to the bag drop, and sent it on it's way using the new fanlged Q Bag Tag, which I've been doing without incident for quite some time. Checked the bag...

Cutting it a bit fine! I have a work trip to Brisbane on the 26th - hope it doesn't fall through! It it does, it might be worth taking my first ever SC run :)

... from today's email *cough*, ummm, is there priority boarding? (sorry) :shock: :oops: ;) :mrgreen: ahhh, the power of a comma. (apologies if this should have been in the playground, or indeed not posted :))

Interesting data mining article. I thought I'd post it here, because I have an EDR card, and have noticed a few interesting targetting trends. Thought you guys might find it interesting. How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did - Forbes

Has anyone else noticed the cleanliness of the crockery and cutlery in some Qantas Clubs not quite up to scratch? I've mainly noticed it in the J lounge in BNE, but also to some extent in my other regular haunt, the T2 QP in SYD. I think I'll provide QF with some feedback - the other day it...

Hi guys, I'm thinking about taking the Mrs back to Europe at the end of next year, but I'm unsure of the best approach. We went over at the end of last year, and I booked MEL-SIN-LHR in Y+ and then FCO-LHR-HKG in Y on points, then we bought some Y tickets HKG-SYD home. This time I'd like to...

Hi guys, I spend every second week in Brisbane for work. My employer organises the accommodation, but I have some ability to decide where I stay, within a rough budget of around $180/night. Our office was up near Spring Hill, and I used to stay at Mantra on Queen (which was OK, but certainly...

I seem to regularly get 2A as my auto preference seat on Q400 flights (about half the flights I take), and it's a good seat, so I usually keep it. However, the QF system seems to think 2A/B are exit row seats (I presume because 2C/D are). They're not. OLCI won't provide boarding passes - it...

Doh ... trying to online checkin today: ;) It works if you try again after getting the error, but surely somewhere in the QF bureaucracy someone might have had a task to keep an eye on this kind of thing. I can imagine some people may find it somewhat offputting.

Hello all, I may have a last minute work trip to SLC next week - probably flying: SYD-LAX on QF11 LAX-SLC on AA3036 then back on SLC-LAX on AA3062 LAX-SYD on QF12 I haven't been to the US at all before, so I'm hoping I might be able to get some tips about: lounges transiting through LAX...
