While planning for an upcoming trip to the US, I was having a look at the QP details on the QF site, when something struck me as a bit odd. Has Admirals Club access for QP members travelling on USA domestic flights been enhanced to those travelling on a QF codeshare? Under 'Eligibility and...

Interested to know how AFFers have found EK ground staff at DXB after my recent expereince there. I was travelling back to SYD from Europe and was a misconnect onto my EK flight due to a late inbound flight. I was travelling in Y on QF code. Despite availability on the next direct EK flight to...

Hi all, Have a dilemma with an upcoming booking and looking for some advice. I'll be travelling in Y SYD-DXB-LGW and then return from somewhere in Continential Europe (probably CDG). I'm using the QF multi-city as I want to stop over in DXB for a few days on the way up. The booking engine...

Next week I've got an intra Asia flight ex SIN on 3K. I'll be arriving in SIN a few days earlier, and then will head out to Changi for a late PM flight on 3K. I'm keen to get a good amount of time to check out the new QF lounge but 3K only advise check in opens 2 hours before departure - I would...

Has anyone had experience with Air Asia Document check as a 'transit passenger'? I'm arriving at NRT on QF21 (0615) and looking to connect to an Air Asia flight leaving NRT to ICN at 0805 (seperate PNR). I'll be travelling HLO and would have OLCI. Both flights are T2, so I was under the...

Hi everyone, As advertised by ANZ, one of the features of this card is the ability to earn 'bonus points' - i.e. 2 points:$1 with certain 'bonus partners' of which Qantas is one. Upon reviewing my last statement, it appears I've been caught out. Recently booked a hotel via Qantas.com, however...

I'm currently looking at a trip around New Years into Asia and am needing some advice on open-jaw tickets on QF. The current plan is to fly SYD-HKG in early Jan, before returning SIN-SYD in mid-Jan. Trying to book online a one way SYD-HKG on QF is coming up at around $1200, with the SIN-SYD leg...

So, you’re probably reading this and thinking why someone in their right mind would complete a TR for SYD-MEL? Well, this was my first test of ‘Virgin Australia’. Sure, I’d flown DJ before, but that was pre-rebranding and was keen to see how the hard product was, as well as the much raved-about...

Just recevied my Velocity statement e-mail and noticed this down the bottom of the statement: I guess the part of most interest will be cabin and status bonus/multipliers. Obviously must have something to do with NZ alliance, hopefully the pittance of *0.25 miles for 'Promo' and heavily...

Learned AFF members....this may be more of a 'crystal ball' question but any advice is appreciated. I'm off to the Rugby World Cup in NZ later this year. Price is a major constraint for me on this trip, so a few sacrifices have to be made, including flights :( (love being a poor student ;))...

Earlier on today I was looking at my profile on the Velocity website and it got me thinking, with all the 'changes' mooted by DJ over the coming months, of which Velocity was one, what changes would you like to see to the program? Fortunately, I know we have 'Virgin Blue' and 'Crazy Dave' as...

I had a flight today on JQ :evil: BNE-NTL. As most would know NTL is primarily served by DJ and JQ has taken over from QF (although still a few Dash8s NTL-BNE). Flight was booked late so with JQ over $100 cheaper over QF, JQ got my business. Managed to make my way to the QP to check in...

A question for those who have stayed frequently in Hilton properites and are members of HHonors. I'm looking to stay at South Wharf in a few weeks and have found a rate on wotif that beats the Hilton advance purchase rate by about $30. I have seen below in the T&Cs of HHonors that 'third party...

As a self-funded leisure traveller, I was just interested to hear the perspectives of others on the level of ease/difficulty in firstly earning and then maintaining DJ status. Considering DJ operate on a 'dollar' accrual mode -v- QFs 'miles' based, I was interested to see how those who have...

Hey all, Here is my first trip report from a weekend away in Adelaide. Please be nice ;) The Lounge – SYD T2 When I initially chose to fly DJ, I considered buying a single access pass to The Lounge in order to see what it was like, particularly in comparison to a QP. I approached the...

Hey all, Just a few quick questions regarding an upcoming weekend in ADL. Looks like I'll be flying DJ (SYD-ADL and return) as QF is about $70 more expensive each way, and the times don't suit as well as DJ - oh well, at least I'll get velocity points. Obviously my QP will be of no use this...

Just a quick question R.E. SmartGate I had problems using Smart Gate on my recent SYD-WLG-SYD trip. I know it can't be used for Children's passports. I can't actually recall the message itself, but it had something to do with an error of reading or something Does anyone know if this applys...

Hi all, Just a quick question regarding upcoming travel SYD-WEL. 3 airlines service this route (direct) - QF, DJ and NZ. I'm a member of both DJ and QF, with no status with either, and prefer to earn points/SC's with QF where possible. My question is in regards to cost of fiight. I'll...

Hi all, Quick question R.E. Domestic travel within South Africa. Does anyone know if you are able to earn QFF points when travelling on South African Express? The QF Website isn't exactly clear Limits: Points can only be earned on: - domestic flights within South Africa operated by South...

Just a quick question RE QantasLink This week I am going to take my first flight with them, departing SYD T2. On previous flights with Qantas out of SYD T3 to both Melbourne and Adelaide, I have been able to pick up my free paper as I was boarding. (flights were ~8am). Are there...
