Hello there, I'm off to Italy in a couple of months' time for 4 weeks and was looking today at the Lonely Planet guide. I've bought them in the past for previous travels and have generally found them quite good (except for the fact that recommended restaurants end up becoming tourist haunts) but...

I'm looking at J fares for two Sydney to Rome next March and went online tonight to explore options for Classic Awards vs JASA. Of course, there was nothing available in Classic Awards -- actually, that's not true: I could have booked a J fare and done much of the trip in Y! -- so I looked at...

Having been inspired by some pretty terrific reports here of late, notably fbrimfield's report on his QF J sojourn to HK, I thought that I might bash out a few observations about a recent trip to Ubud, Bali. The purpose of the trip was very much rest and relaxation; nothing too strenuous or...

Hello there, I am flying to Denpasar ex Sydney next week on DJ and have not been able to fathom on their cryptic website their reciprocal lounge arrangements. It seems to me that as a short haul international flight, there might not be anything available. As it's not a trans-Tasman flight...

Hello there, I was hoping I could glean some info from the collective brains trust here. I am looking at a little weekend away in October flying Sydney to Adelaide and return. I'm looking at QF81 ex Sydney international to Adelaide before going on to SIN. Given it's a domestic flight for me...

I really need to get this off my chest because it's been bugging me for yonks. A warning though: it does fall into the category of first world problems. I have noticed an increasing practice on QF - and it may be on DJ for all I know - of Y passengers depositing their hand luggage in J...

I need to get this off my chest. I occasionally fly in and out of Perth (four times this year) and I have been shocked by the state of the Perth Qantas lounge.Not only is it crowded and often difficult to get a seat, its food offering is like a school canteen. I realise that it's essentially the...

Hello there, any recommendations for good Perth accommodation that won't cost five thousand fortunes? I was recently - admittedly with only a weeks notice - quoted nearly $500 for a standard room at the Hilton so ended up staying at a Mecure or some such town down. Almost as expensive and not...

OK, I have decided to bit the bullet - well given the very modest cost actually more a pellet - and get a paid membership. Tried to purchase today and was presented with only one option, ie PayPal, which is ok because I used it a lot for eBay. HOWEVER, when I logged on to PayPal and tried to...

Hello there, are there any plans for an AFF app pls? My lovely new iPad quite likes playing with its own kind! Thx PS very nifty site

The Commonwealth Bank does not allow existing points in its Rewards program to be applied to the QFF program (unlike to the Velocity or Air NZ frequent flyer programs where you can convert existing CBA points to their FF points). This is presented in the summary of the programs' interaction as...

Hello there, I am sure I have read here recently -- but cannot for the life of me now find the thread -- that it is possible to book flights comprising multiple legs at the same price as direct routes. I have seen this available on the Qantas booking portal for some routes -- most notably...

Hello there, I am posting my first thread to this terrific site to clarify a query I have. I was recently sent by Qantas an offer for double status credits east coast to Perth, within a window of (I think) June-July. Does this offer also apply to other routes? If so, how can it be...

Hello, I came across this terrific forum researching something--so I'm taking the opportunity to seek everyone's expert advice. I want to fly to Paris next April and want to do so Premium Economy. I normally fly OneWorld (and usually Qantas) to maximise my Qantas SCs and FF points but am...
