    Points plus pay is not an Any Seat Award.

    Can someone please explain to me the difference between using this 'points plus pay' option and calling the new special phone number (1300 366 587) for the ASA seat? I did a quick example for my potential trip next year. MEL-LHR-MEL (Y Class) Leaving 1 Aug 2014 (QF9) Back 23 Aug 2014 (QF10)...

    Change to Family Transfers

    Love the change as it allows us to load up one family member who has WP (usually me but now SG due to lack of flying since August 2011) who can now search and book for flights for the non WP family members. I'd love it if you could transfer between OW accounts though. My wife has about 110k...

    Hanging jacket/suit up in Y

    I usually pop my suit in the coat storage place. When I fly I tend to be in the front row so it is easy for me to just get to my seat and reach around to the coat closet. I wear suits all the time and I do not like crushing it in the overhead bins. Regards Daniel

    315 SC until I get Platinum Status...is it worth going for?

    Have you got enough points to do an Any Seat Award flight? This might help offset any costs to you. With all the trouble recently, I would be interested to see if there are suddenly a large number of available flights as people may not wish to fly with Qantas in the immediate future. As for...

    QFF staff misinformation costs me points

    Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, the name change was what was given to me by my step mother and that was all I had to go with over the phone. I was unable to physically see my fathers passport to confirm. I did not realize that I was to be charged 11,500 as standard for this. If I...

    Is platinum worth it without anytime access to QP?

    Re: Platinum "anytime" lounge Access ceases from 1 February 2011 Getting WP meand you are WP for the next full cycle and you THEN drop to SG after that. Basically it is one years free club membership. In $$ terms that is, depending on what sort of corporate plan you are on, about $200-400...

    Qantas F/F award tickets – are they really worth it ?

    Not sure what everyone's personal circumstances are but I tend to do a lot of flying for work with the usual Hotel, credit cards and so on to probably get me about 15-20k points each month. I've probably got about 800k left in the kitty and I generally use my points for my international economy...

    London Heathrow - Terminal 3 - Upgraded lounges including new F lounge

    According to the article below, it looks like Platinum travellers will have some new perks when travelling through London. What I cannot seem to find is whether this is available for both Domestic AND International flights or if it is just International. I plan to be travelling to Edinburgh...

    Qantas removing Super Saver fare on 7 July (or thereabouts)

    I just got off speaking to my CarlsonWaginlit CSO and in a passing comment to her I was wondering why the Flexi Saver flights were generally cheaper than the Super Saver ones (where it would usually be more expensive). Her response to me was that the Flexi Saver ones were cheaper because the...

    Flying on SC expiry day

    As mentioned above, if you fly on the day, you will be given the credit for it. Funnily enough, this year I had to get 20 SC to hit WP and I flew on my expiry day itself. After talking to QFF staff, I was told that it takes a few days for my SC's to be reset and that the system will 'credit' me...

    Malaysia Airlines to join Oneworld alliance

    Re: Malaysian Airlines to join OneWorld Personally I am glad this is happening as I have had to travel to Malaysia a few times over the years and have always been frustrated in my inability to earn Qantas SCs or points on those flights. That being said. I wonder what rate the MH points will...

    Op Up's as a 'smart traveller'

    I would have thought that if you had an exit seat your chances of getting an OP up would be slightly increased as they then have a 'premium' seat free to OP up another. This is just a thought with no actual first hand knowledge though. Regards Daniel

    Technicallty it can be up to 6 weeks but of the 7 qualifying flights I have taken since the deal, I have seen 6 of the double SC's come through.

    QF Inflight Meal Enhancement - RIP Bread Roll

    I tend to fill up at the J Club before hand. Iusually only ask for a meal if it is something like those Cookies or that little brown bag of things. This is because I take them into the office the next day as a snack. I generally ignore anything else. Regards Daniel
