Unlike the ACCC thread which - initially anyway - looked at the ethos behind Qantas strategically cancelling flights weeks in advance but continued to sell seats on them, I'm hoping to provide a bit of a warning as well as discuss tactical examples of last minute cancellations and options...

As title: 2 General QF Lounge invitations expiring Sep-2. Available to first to DM me with Surname, FF Number. Regards, BD

Here's something that invariably gets put down to "just a result of an operational issue" but - as usual - there are consequences borne by the passenger. I needed to make a last minute (7 days out) booking to be in Sydney from Melbourne this last weekend. I also had a constraint to be back in...

Hi All, I'm looking at coming up at about 120SCs short of my WP retention at the end of August on my current trajectory (work having wound back travel significantly) and am looking at options. One of the things that came to mind was a PC booking during a (potential) DSC purchase window. I'm...

PM me if you can use them. Regards, BD

Hi All, I noticed on last year's announcement of the EK-QF codeshare extension it was stated that 2 asian destinations are included in the agreement, does anyone know what they are? Regards, BD

Hi All, Apologies if this is readily available elsewhere .... I'm seeing heaps of EK J award available from LHR/LGW to DXB in October next year on EF (O fares) but nothing on QFF, Does anyone know which award fare type EK makes avalable to QFF and - heaven help me - if I called QFF whether...

Hi All, I can't remember the details of the Status Retention promotion from 2022 for 2023. I currently have this detail in my account which suggests that I have achieved status for this year however I have a nagging suspicion - from when the "boost" was announced - that I'm a few nights short...

Hi All, I'm trying to access a Travel Pass my MMB tells me exists. I've forgotten the password for the portal, have clicked on the link to reset the password, received the email but the application is not allowing my new Password value (6-10 characters, must contain: 1 Upper, 1 Lower, 1...

Hi All, Apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere, I've scanned widely and very surprisingly can't find a thread ... As an apple-phile I'm pondering buying some airtags and there seem to be some OK reviews on the effectiveness of these showing the location of luggage - with the one...

Hi All, If I've not dreamt this, can someone please point me to where in the iOS version of the App On Departure Upgrades appear. Was trying to get one for QF1169 yesterday but for the life of me I couldn't see the option in the app from the supposed T-3h opening. Thought I'd try again at the...

HI All, Will be visiting the MEL business lounge for the first time in many months this weekend. I know that the ability to pre-order using the Skip App was removed there for a whole but looking at Skip itself for the current status it states that the Lounge is closed (obviously as correct as...

Booked separate tickets for myself (WP paid Y + J upgrade) and Mrs BD (NB J award redemption) on a B737. The usual blocks sat until T-80 and which point I was looking to move both of us to Row 2 - there are currently 3 of us in the cabin: ourselves in 3A/3C and a third in 3F. When I log in I...

Hi All, A question from the lesser travelled Mrs BD (I have no need for such items ... !!) is there any sort of restriction on hairspray in hand luggage on domestic flights? Is it considered flammable and banned or does it fall within the general "if you can carry it, its allowed" liquid and...

Hi All, I have a AY -> QF transit booked at LAX. Obviously the usual protocols apply with respect to immigration/bag claim/customs/bag drop/TSA. Has anyone done this lately and can they enlighten with respect to any additional steps to check PCR results/ATD? I'm expecting that these are all...

I called this morning to convert a credit to some flights (usual bar on being able to complete such a simple transaction online) using the Platinum number. Was greeted with a new welcome "We have recently revamped our telephone system - please listen to these options" ... or words to that...

Just arrived at the Dom terminal to be greeted by two barriers and two Reps at the door to the Lounge Complex. Both QC and J Lounge shut due to an aircon issue. Currently having to pleb-it in the Gate areas ... Regards, BD

Hi All, With the announcement of the further grounding of QF's International Fleet, $b in cost savings and need to source investment, I'd have thought QF would be looking at *every* avenue for revenue. Couple this with various cries (here and elsewhere) on the unavailability of QF F going...

Arriving at both the Premium Entry and. J Llunge door Friday evening was warned that the J Lounge was “partially closed and without hot food” and advised to use the QC for food. Apparently due to water damage sustained Thursday. Upon entry, the entire lounge to the right was boarded off so...

Most of my flying is Mon-Fri. Any weekend travel is usually pretty local domestically. more often than not with an upgrade (with Mrs BD in tow that's de rigueur!) - or a fully fledged International leg. Consequently I don't often come across QF Domestic Buy on Board. That changed a couple of...
