Thanks all for the best up to date information on this, and advice. Super helpful to understand why you qantas can't just flick a switch on when there is a plane shortage plus other reasons. I checked JAL: doesnt come up with many choices along the week for direct flight when searching for 4...

Hi all QFF, Excited, although slightly nervous about flying international again. Looking at a holiday in Japan in Jan 2023 next year with family for 4 -preferably business. I note that all business is flex (which is reassuring), but none are direct from Melb to Tokyo - via Sydney/via Brisbane...

Definitely a technical fault on my flight so want to support the notion that this was not an overbooked flight

May be too late to the thread, but I was on business from Narita to Melbourne last week. Had to be moved from my booked away as electronics not working for that seat. Empty seat all the way next to me.

Thanks everyone. Ive booked the flight and went for option 1 . just under 3 hours transit. It would be good to get to destination as soon as possible, and if lucky, maybe I might have a good run through customs. The flight is not the same aircraft. Its AA plane departing T4. And also, couldnt...

QF93 and QF3009/QF3011 ( AA ) Yes, platnium and business class. Thank you - maybe I should just play it safe and go later

Thanks for the replies! Qantas can't guarantee me a seat on the later flight if full? ( nor would they bump someone off? )

Dear all I be grateful for some advice for booking choices later this year. Flying Qantas MEL-CHI and both legs are QF ticketed flight Will fly business, Platinum status and will have check in luggage. QF93 arrives at 0625. #1 : LAX-ORD departs 0920 - arrives 1507 : just under 3 hours...

Great advice, thank you for all the replies. QF it is for this time. Booked tickets. Thank you

Dear all Can I get some opinions/advice please? Im booking a Business Class flight in May with Qantas. On my return leg from europe via Dubai to Melbourne: I have a choice between A380 QF10 or Codeshare Emirates 777-300ER QF8408. Status Credits are the same. I never traveled on this Emirates...

Thank you all for your help. Thanks Sam for the calculation. I didn't realise the points calculator could allow you to look at partner airlines! Wow, qantas do really reward you status credits for flying with them! or maybe punish you for not.

Hi all, Is there a confident way to calculate the amount of QFF status credits I will receive flying Cathay Pacific. I am looking at flights, Melbourne-HK-Toronto return business in March. Cathay is $1k cheaper than Qantas, and from what I can gather, I may get the same status credits as going...

Dear all Thanks for all the info, I've had a concise crash course accruing SC to get over the Q platinum threshold. Amazing Im simply going to fly not for a destination, but for platinum, albeit it will last for one year. The odd thing, for the next year, I wont see myself travelling as much as...

Can I check if my understanding if correct: If I do an online search with qantas and its showing me for J : classic award availability and standard business (in dollars or in points), then I presume there is availability to do ASA at classic rates by phone?

Again, thanks for the advice on booking seats with points and still accruing SC To summarise what I have read in the first few posts 1. I have to make a telephone booking for ASA at classic rate 2. This will involve a co-payment, but at least not paying the full ASA in points completelyt 3. I...

Yikes, thanks so much for this. Should have read the fineprint. So checking a one way flight: a classic award (no earn sC) from MEL-Cairns is 36000 points vs 126,100 points for Any Seat Certainly a price/point difference: guess is it worth shelling out 250k points (return) just to get me over...

Dear all Thanks again for your support and various suggestions, and even an offer of the bar! :) I've checked my qantas summary, and with some already forthcoming trips and claiming a previous flight points: I might get my required SC to 160! I think the Mel-Cairns return in J might be the best...

Dear all Many thanks for your fast replies Its clear to me, Qantas will not comp upgrade me in this situation. I'd be grateful for your advice on options to get me over the line. I live in Melbourne, and have 600,000 FF points to use. The most efficient, shortest trips would be ideal Thanks again

Dear AFF members, I am currently gold for the last 8 years, with my status reassessment occurring on 31st May 2014. I have achieve 1180 status credits since last year (1 June 2013). I need an additional 220 SC before 31st May to achieve platinum. I wouldn't be too fussed normally , but I am...
