    Does Qantas release extra award seats ?

    Thanks everyone. I have made the booking :) and I will keep an eye on a better return flight if I can. I have also paid extra for advanced seat selection. I see I can change the flight easily via 'Manage Your Bookings' if I want to but there is a warning that if I change the flights I will...

    Does Qantas release extra award seats ?

    Ok, thanks. Unfortunately I don't have any status :( Looking at the Terms and Conditions of the award flights, it looks like I could make a booking then if something better comes along I could change the flight number or day of travel? That is how I understand it.

    Does Qantas release extra award seats ?

    Hi, I'm planning a trip to the US for December 2013. I'm looking at the QFF award seat availability. I can get a seat easily to either LAX or DFW outbound on the 9th. The problem is the return flight. I want to return on the 20th and with LAX I would have to return via BNE which is a total of...

    Earning QF points

    A quick question about purchasing tickets for family members. If I purchase 2 domestic Qantas tickets (red-e-deal) for myself and my mum can I get points for both tickets? Or is it only my ticket because I am the FF member and not my mum? I have put my FF number next to my name on the online...

    QF107 SYD-JFK - question about LAX-JFK leg

    Hi, I have a booking on QF107 (in Y!) which is a 747-400 from SYD-LAX then a change of aircraft for LAX-JFK, which I believe is an A330-200? If so, I have been looking at SeatGuru to work out where would be the most comfortable (??) in the A330, bearing in mind I would like to be able to see...

    Seat 71D on A380 LAX-SYD

    Yeah....headphones!! That's something else I need to look into. Any special place you got them from for a good deal?;) That's a great idea with 69D displaying the aircam etc while you watch a movie. Kill 2 birds with one stone on such a long flight.:D

    Seat 71D on A380 LAX-SYD

    Thanks ismi4126. So where did you put any magazines, headphones etc when sitting in 71D? Or don't you bother with that sort of stuff?

    Seat 71D on A380 LAX-SYD

    Hello, I've heard that this is the best seat in economy and have had a look at Seat Guru. It does look like there is heaps of leg room but because there is no seat in front (ie no seat pocket) where do you put your incidentals like books, magazines etc? Do you have to keep taking them out /...

    How are Stopover periods calculated?

    I'm a bit confused about this answer. Sorry if this is a stupid question but do you mean that you could book with say Qantas online and ANY other airline online and as long as the stopover period and booking conditions are adhered to you could get a stopover? Or am I missing something?

    How are Stopover periods calculated?

    In layman's terms I believe a Stopover is defined as one that is at least 24 hours in one place when disembarking before catching your next flight. But how is the 24 hours calculated? Is it from ETA of one flight to departure of the next flight or some other method? And how strict are Qantas...

    Buying Euros - best rate

    I've been doing a similar thing with USD and have been analysing all of the banks rates and also Travelex and the Qantas money site. Over the last 2 months I have found that Travelex has had the best rate and no commission if you purchase the currency as cash online. The rates go up and down...

    QFF bronze with 105,000 points....

    ...and I want to go to the US in October. I have been saving my points for quite a few years. I have already booked my flights as follows but in hindsight I don't know if that was the best way to maximise the points and QFF. Anything I could have done better? I know there are plenty of...

    Cosmopolitan or Trump or Wynns in Las Vegas?

    Thanks mole. I am leaning towards Cosmo now. The hotel photos look great and it's in a great position on the Strip. A couple of questions, are there any rooms that face to the rear of the building rather than the Strip or Bellagio? I'd hate to be stuck at the back. Also, can you remember...

    Select seats during booking, then no seats reserved when it's time to fly

    Could it be that you arrive and check-in close to the boarding cut-off time? Maybe the airlines think you won't show so give the seats to others that have already arrived and may be asking for a better seat. This is only a suggestion because I always arrive early to check-in and always have...

    Cosmopolitan or Trump or Wynns in Las Vegas?

    Thanks to everyone who has replied. Nobody has mentioned Trump's so it's either no good or nobody has stayed there yet. I'll consider all suggestions and make a decision...... Thanks again.
