Just had an email from QANTAS: "For the month of May, every available seat on all Qantas and Jetstar flights between Australia and New Zealand can be booked as a Classic Flight Reward seat.*" * says: "All seats on Qantas ... operated flights during the month of May ... between ..., Melbourne...

I'm trying to get back from the UK to MEL next week and managed to snag a LAX->SYD->MEL in classic J award on Wednesday. Now just trying to grab a J classic award to get from LHR to LAX, I'm getting confounded by errors on the QF website. I've tried various permutations and a few come up...

Absolutely, and thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for confirming. I usually wouldn't expect to earn anything on a rewards flight, but the QF points club classic rewards earn has me a little spoiled after some flights earlier this year.

Hi folks, Just booked MEL->DXB(J)->AMS(F)->GLA(J) for this weekend on the QF website using classic points. (Family emergency(ish), so consider myself lucky to have got a points booking at all at such short notice). Noticed the flights are listing as EK/EK/KL. I'm a points club member. Can...

I too was quite happy to see 100SCs roll over, then noticed it reset to 50, and realised I thought it should be 200! Before the rollover I was silver and had 245 SCs. Of that, 40 were from flights (Covid, eh?), 10 from BP incentive and the rest were bonus Status Support So when they rolled...

ASW->ABS and back with Air Memphis. The sight of the rickety old DC9 wasn't inspiring to begin with, and confirmed when I got on and found one end of my seatbelt wasn't attached to anything, fun for what was a turbulent flight. The aircraft barely ascended - we were told later that they didn't...

Absolutely nothing. I prefer fewer, but it's a relatively modern affectation.

Just booked my second OWA in J thanks to the great tips and advice from this forum, but I noticed an oddity when hunting down availability: I found MEL-AMM via KUL & BKK, but wanted to split it and spend some time in KL. Searching MEL-KUL in the preceding days found nothing, but I did find an...

Umm, that's not what "all but one" means...

It's simply out of date. There was a stop at the corner of Whiteman St / Clarendon St (124B), which appears to have now been removed.

Apologies, yes... KUL. Taxes and fees were $800pp. It was $625 more each if we'd gone CMB-DOH with QR and then DOH-LHR with BA, which was all that was available when I first looked.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to the countless people who have contributed to this wiki and thread. I managed to book 2xJ RTW for 280k pts recently (all online!) for what's mainly a UK trip early next year, and it just wouldn't have been a consideration without the great help and advice here...

I've heard there's a gotcha here regarding the USA? If you decline all the "optional" insurance offered by the hire car company then you end up with no protection other than the $2-5K or whatever coverage you have on your insurance policy. So if you're in an accident and cause $20K worth of...

Re: “Frugal Premium Cabin Flying” Discussion Good advice thanks. I'll look into options beyond non-stop.

Re: “Frugal Premium Cabin Flying” Discussion Thanks. I was just amazed I couldn't find a SINGLE seat on ANY date for less than 140K points, including as far out as it'd let me go. If they're so rare, perhaps AFF should be mentioned in the article, otherwise it's a little misleading and raises...

Hi guys, I'm looking at the AA knowledge centre article (Premium Travel for Peanuts (2) The Australian Frequent Flyer Knowledge Centre), and I'm interested in the points purchase option. However, when I login and look at the points required when redeeming flights, I see $140Kpp per sector for...

Thanks Drewbles, that confirms what I thought. My other option is to fly American as I've got Qantas club membership, but that's more expensive than DL and paying!

Hi folks, I'm flying into LAX from MEL later this year in VA J. I've no velocity status (well, red if that counts ;), but am looking to head up to SFO straight away. I appreciate if we book VX first it doesn't include lounge access, but would we get it as we're coming in on VA J, or does that...

Thanks folks, much appreciated.
