I will be travelling ADL-MEL-KUL in October and would like to try out the first lounge for the first time. Just reached platinum recently. I will have my wife and 13yo daughter with me. As I read the rules, I can bring them both in if travelling on a QF flight. However, the planned flight...

I have a trip booked to the USA in December/January. I have two AA flights booked — LAX-PHL-BVT, and BVT-DCA-LGA. All of these are in US ‘first’ class (buckets I and D). I can’t work out from the QF website what the status earn is. I understand it is reduced a lot from the glory days, but...

I got a Tripit reminder to check in for my flight from HKG to SYD tomorrow night. I was met with this set of info, which is new to me. I have searched and read a few threads on upgrades which talk about waitlisting, but this seems a bit different. Flight 2 shows PE waitlisted. Flight 3 shows...

I thought one of our local f1 experts might know about this: The ticket page for the Melbourne GP has recently added a stand at the outside of turn 3 called Piquet Premium. It is one of the most expensive stands, but does not appear on the map. Is it a new stand entirely? Should I go for it...

I am looking to fly to Europe in late August 12 for a holiday and to attend a grand prix or two. I have quite a lot of QFF points, but not enough for three adults plus a child return. As it stands, the current cheapest sale fare on QF is $8500 for 4 people economy ADL-SIN-LHR return. I am...

I posted a couple of questions about Formula 1 trips a few weeks back and got some great responses. I was encouraged to post a trip report, so here goes. 22 Sep 11 JQ777 ADL-MEL departed 6.55am seat 1C Very early arrival at the airport. I am not a fan of such early starts. The flight...

I am looking for flights ADL-HNL return for May next year. Bizarrely, the website will show the flights to HNL, but shows no options at all for the return. A similar search through Qantas shows the relevant JQ flights in both directions. I can't get the Jetstar website to show the return...

I am not sure if this is the appropriate place for this topic, but I couldn't see anything obviously more appropriate. I have booked to travel to Singapore at the end of this month to watch the Singapore Grand Prix. I am an F1 fan and will be travelling alone (Mrs AdamR was not interested and...

I am flying QF542 tomorrow with my family (SYD-BNE 5.35pm). The flight is marked as serving a refreshment rather than a meal. I thought (don't know where I got it from) that QF served dinner on flights departing after 5pm. This SYD-BNE service is right in the prime meal timeslot - so why...

I have booked ADL-MEL-SIN-MEL-ADL on Jetstar StarClass for the Singapore GP this year. The last leg is supposed to be seated in business class on a QF operated flight. Of course, Jetstar's booking engine will not let me select seats on that flight. I had thought that I should be able to get...

I have just reached QF gold and see no prospect of reaching Platinum in this membership year. I thought for a change I would start an AAdvantage account and credit points to that. I have a work-related trip ADL-MEL this weekend and wanted to get a start by crediting to AA. Unfortunately...

Title says it all. I have been waiting for this to give me point tracking for all my major memberships in one place. Now I am only waiting for them to add Air China Phoenix Miles to the system (in which I have no current points, but hope to accrue some shortly). I just wish it would...

Today, I made SG for the first time. I know it is not much compared to all the platinums around here, but it means a lot to me. I have been bouncing between NB and PS for years. I have been a QP member for the last few years. Today I went from 695 to 710 status credits with a flight...

My mother-in-law is flying MH to ADL-KUL-LHR tomorrow. Naturally, she has given no thought to her points earning. Her travel agent was good enough to sign her up for MH Enrich. I discovered from a search on this site that she can earn Velocity points through her MH flights. I have signed...

I have made a bit of a fool of myself by booking a JASA status run for a date in early September when my diary was free. I have since discovered that the date I picked is Father's day. My wife is not impressed with the idea of me nicking off for the day. I have read threads about steps to...

My first post. I have enjoyed lurking here for a few months and have learnt a lot. FWIW, I am a QFF Silver and Qantas Club member - which I understand should be written PS, QP ;) - but I have half a chance getting to Gold this year as I am at nearly 300 SP after one month. I have read a...
