I think it's any charge from the Qantas merchant account. so yes buying points or paying a change fee should count. Re availability, the "free flights" are available when the $112 (Mel-syd) or equivalent flights are on offer. However you can pay the difference in cash to book a flight at a...

As others have said, it really depends on your team dynamics. If you're all close, I'd just talk about it in passing, gauge their reaction and go from there. There's no hard or fast rule and it depends on how your colleagues may perceive the u/g, eg will they see taking J domestically as...

Amex platinum is only offer mpc gold. Need centurion for diamond. I personally have found Asia miles to offer reasonable redemption options if you book far in advance but qf seems to be better for short notice bookings esp if you're a WP as you can request award seats. If the OP earns a lot...

It depends on what routes you're flying, where you're based and whether you're chasing redemption flights or status If redemption - Asia miles / mpc has better burn rates. but I find their award availability to be worse than qf and the miles expire. Without the boast from aus cc based earn...

As markis10 pointed out, only you can answer that question. Would you be prepared to spend more time to fly via Melbourne or Sydney? What's the value of sitting in row 23 or row 4 vs further back? Or guesting 2 vs 1 at the Dom lounges. I know people who were within 20 sc and didn't bother with...

ATA will be a never ending debate on this forum and if QF has made it clear it won't be coming back, then in my view, people should get over it. Yes DJ has it as does others (eg CX DM) but if QF makes a conscious decision to restrict to CLs (yes they have ATA FL), then so be it. People should...

Sorry to bring back an old thread.... has anyone done this successfully using the online "change flight" recently? I can only see business seats....

re: [closed for registration] 6 Points/$1 at Ðick Smith (over $50) Got a great deal on the ipad w/ this promotion last week @ DSE (apple ipad sale + WW $50 for $250 promo + TRS). Points posted next business day....

No idea; but it would be interesting to see the % of top tier FF members across different airlines; i suspect it may be higher for QF than BA, CX, etc. given their relatively more difficult qualification requirements. The point here is any increase in qual level must be commensurate with...

Thanks for the warm welcome - I've been lurking for a v. long time & forming ideas so i thought it might be time to start contributing! I'm also a v. disgruntled QF pax and actively chose to direct spend to DJ, CX, EK most of last year after a string of "disasters" with QF (incl. the lack of...

First post from a long time lurker – hope I’m not jumping into a lion’s den here given this thread has generated 600 posts in 9 days! Something random - BA has been cited as one FF program which offers anytime access to its top tier FFs, but closer to home, CX MPC also offers anytime access...
