    Dual citizenship and travelling on non AU passport

    There will be some issues if you’re an Australian citizen but try to enter/exit Australia on a foreign passport. Agree with the comments about travelling on your Aus passport.

    Qantas frequent flyer with virgin ?

    My corporate agent does mixed airline bookings for me sometimes, and in these I see both the QF and VA flights in the QF app. I only get QF lounges and SCs with the QF flights, and VA lounges and SCs with VA.

    Jayne Hrdlicka to resign as CEO

    Bit sad (or maybe not) to get 'A message from Jayne Hrdlicka' email about features and promotions a couple of days ago. (I know these emails have some lag time for drafting and clearance.) Slightly interesting the email says they're "laser-focused on the experience" of booking and flying, bit...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Rang to get one Y and one J seat released to/from HKG. Both declined by the bot but got successful reviews and releases within a couple of days. Happy with the result and, unlike last time, for the exact dates I wanted.

    Will Qantas Offer Double Status Credits before Mooted FF Program Changes in 2024?

    ‘72-hour Surprise Sale’ ending Saturday. DSC promo next week? 😁 /speculation

    When do status credits go into your account?

    Welcome to posting. SCs reach your account generally just before you land (I've seen them appear when I turn off flight mode when taxiing at arrival) or within a few hours thereafter - but never before your flight. As mentioned the DSCs take longer, sometimes more than a week after your flight...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Totally right - dunno how I missed that. (Insert facepalm emoji here)

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    What if I enter “because I will accept this as a consolation prize given you didn’t show me any Tay Tay love” - 18 words. Too sour grapes? And why not just offer it to Sydney P1s? Not all of us elsewhere have nothing better planned for two days with a week’s notice to get to NSW. Yeah I’m being...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Nothing here at all. Knowing my luck I'll probably be invited to Nickelback.

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    What an invite to get, nice one! I thought QF might have some tickets, sadly nothing at all here - the only invite I received ages ago I couldn’t take up.

    2024 QF Inflight safety video

    Was hesitant to join the potential pile-on... I finally watched the full version (on YouTube, not a flight) to make up my own mind - IMHO not as bad as I'd been led to believe but a lot of trimming would be needed to make even the condensed version palatable (which I haven't seen yet). My...

    Pay Points to Extend Qantas Status

    My +1's had 480 SCs and her gold status was about to drop - she got an email telling her to call to 'discuss options.' Given I accrued a record number of SCs this year and previously gifted her SG I thought an extension was a done deal, but as it turns out DSCs aren't eligible for the 'platinum...

    A380 first class Syd to LHR

    I’d do it, especially as you haven’t experienced F before. Then you can decide whether it’s worth it from personal experience. You can always earn more points!

    VA Cancellations, Delays growing?

    MEL-SYD on Sunday - was bumped, and then bumped a second time. Ended up arriving two hours later than originally. SYD-MEL this afternoon - bumped, then replacement flight was an hour late. Ended up arriving half an hour earlier than originally. So IME, it’s all over the place and doesn’t...
