Hi Folks I've held status with Le Club Accor for a number of years. But now I'm done with Accor and I've taken my business elsewhere. I've had an ongoing saga for the last 2-3 years where I get continually hassled by Accor to sign up to their Accor Advantage Plus program. I get a phone...

Hi there I'm flying qf internationally out of Brisbane tomorrow morning. I haven't flown internationally out of brisbane since before the Ek lounge was built. Which is the better option to pass the time before the flight? Ek or qf?

Hi folks I've got a domestic flight booked next week on VA SYD-BNE. The flight I've booked departs 5pm and the fare class is B (Flexi). My plans have now changed and I think I'm going to have to be in Brisbane as early as possible that day. If I rock up to the airport at 5 or 6am on the day...

Hi all Hoping somebody knows the answer to this? I want to book some flights to the US before the QF double points offer finishes tomorrow. Still finalising my arrangements while I'm there so don't yet know which city I will be returning to Australia from. If I book the QF flights now, with...

I'm sitting in the QP in GLT and can't help but be rather underwhelmed. The surrounds and fit out are nice enough, but the food and drink selection - surely you can't be serious Qantas! The coffee consists for sachets of Nescafe Blend 43 and an urn full of hot water. The food consists of...

Hi all Am flying to JNB next week on QF63. Last time I flew this route about 9 months ago the 747 was not refurbed. Now that a greater proportion of the fleet has had the makeover, what are my chances of getting a refurbed bird for this flight? IMHO the refurbed cabin makes a big difference on...

I was due to make QF Gold at the end of the month with a work trip which was perfect timing for an upcoming 9 week overseas trip. To my horror, this trip has just been cancelled. Alas, many of the flights on the OS trip are classic awards and will not net me any SC prior to my anniversary date...

Hi all I flew BNE-CBR on QF959 last night. Having flown this flight many times, I was looking forward to what is (usually) a pretty good full dinner service. What came out of the cart surprised me. Not a dinner tray, but a pie. Yes, a humble pie, wrapped in that breathable plastic stuff like...

Hi all Am about to book flights from CPT-IST-LHR//ATH-IST-DEL for next year. TK has same fantastic fares at the moment which i want to snap up. I originally found the flights on iFly for around AUD$750 pp. I can bring up the same flights on the TK website for around $790 pp, but with the charge...

Hi there Am trying to book 2 Y Classic Award seats CBR-JNB in April 2013. While there is a fair bit of availability at present, 95% of the available days route via PER onto the SA service (still a QF flight number) as opposed to via SYD on QF. My preference would be to fly QF for the long haul...

Hi all Have just found out that my employer is sending me on a RTW odyssey to attend a number of different events and meet with clients. I have never flown J class internationally before so would appreciate your help in choosing the best J class for the long haul flights. It looks like it will...

Hi there I signed up for the Le Club Accor free status promo a couple of months and will finally have a chance to give it a go in a few weeks. I am about to book 3 nights at the Novotel Perth Langley. Will probably just go for the cheapest rate/room available. My question is, what is the best...

Just came across this on the westpac website Your new Altitude, Altitude Qantas and Earth Platinum cards - Westpac The gold cards will become platinum and the platinum cards will become 'platinum plus'. There doesnt appear to be any changes to either card from the current gold/plat (unless of...

Hi Folks In the process of booking some international travel over the next 6 months and seeking your thoughts on Y Class on BA, EY, EK, QR. As in, all other things being equal, what order would you put them in by way of preference and why. Specifically I am referring to: BA on the 747 and 777...

Hi there A bit of a tricky one for the experts out there. I need to fly 2 pax on the following general routing in Jan/Feb 2013: CBR or SYD - JNB CPT (or JNB if substantially cheaper) - London (preferably, but would consider somewhere else in Western Europe) ATH or FCO or MXP - BOM or DEL BOM...

Hi, does anyone have much experience with the free qantas return flight which comes with the qantas amex ultimate card? Is there any flexibility to use it for 2 one way flights (two people travelling together) between the listed cities as opposed to one return flight?

Can anybody please enlighten me on what constitutes an eligible purchase from qantas in order to redeem the free return flight with the Amex Qantas Ultimate card? I do not need to purchase any qantas flights for the next few months but am hoping to book my free return flight soon. Does buying...

I have just returned from a month in the US where I used by Earth card extensively. I have used it in other countries before with no problem, but this time I had the extremely frustrating experience of having numerous transactions (about 10 over the course of the trip out of about 120 or so...

I am travelling on AA from DFW-MCO in a few weeks in Y, but am ticketed on a QF flight number for the flight. When looking at the booking under 'my bookings' on the QFF site, it is telling me that I get dinner on this flight. I know AA domestic flights are normally just food for purchase. Will I...

I will be doing some flying around the US/Canada in a couple of months. Where possible I have booked on AA or Alaskan flights for QF points but there are 4-5 flights (approx 6000 miles all up) where I have had to settle on United or Air Canada. Does any have any recommendations for which *A...
