    Flight to Malaysia (KL) - looking to spend lowest amount of points

    Cheapest I can find is a SYD-DPS-SIN-KUL on Jetstar/Jetstar Asia for 21,500 points + $137.56 in taxes. Managed an example on 16 Nov. But may involve an overnight in DPS or SIN on the way, depending on your travel days.

    QF A330 long haul in whY

    I can confirm that the A333s do indeed have the netted footrests... because that's my photo! I find I don't use them all that much though... a little flimsy. I'm 179cm and find it more comfortable stretching out under the seat in front.

    Taken Qantas Lounge Invitations

    It actually is on Jetstar... how would that work though?

    Taken Qantas Lounge Invitations

    How hard and fast are these expiry dates? I have a friend flying on the 29th... I'm guessing a pass that expires on the 28th wouldn't be assignable?

    Alaskan airlines SC Earn with Qantas Frequent Flyer

    I think I've answered my own question. Alaska joined OW in April 2021, so that's probably the event that's altered the earn chart since that article was written. Ignore me...

    Alaskan airlines SC Earn with Qantas Frequent Flyer

    Sorry to hijack this thread but I think it's relevant. I'm finding some conflicting information about Economy Saver (X) on AS. This article says that it earns no points: However the earn category chart for AS on the Qantas website lists X as earning discount economy points and SCs: One...

    MH J Award using QFF Points (intra-Asia)

    Can you see availability if you only search for 1 seat? IME MH only releases a single J award seat on many intra-Asia flights. I tried calling up QF to get a second seat on KUL-BKK but to no avail - they said it was all MH made available. I did notice that more seats did become available a...

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    Me too, removed some time this last weekend. I got my 30,000 points a few weeks ago and the agent on the phone stressed that I must not use the DBL passes because they would be taken away in a few weeks, "some time in October". I took it as nothing more than a stern finger wag but there you go.

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    Called up yesterday to ask about the same and today received a near identical email and the 30,000 points. They did stress not to use the DBL passes and that it may take some time ("probably October") for them to be removed from my account.

    Qantas Status Credits when flying Malaysia Airlines

    Ok I am very confused by all this. From the chart, you'd think that I and Z were the only fares affected. A few weeks ago, I had a pre-COVID ticket rebooked onto a KUL-DPS-KUL itinerary with Z outbound and D back. The Z credited with the expected 30 SCs automatically. Due to a bugger-up of my...

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    Newly minted AU-based WP and haven't seen any points. I received my email with a Gold heading, lounge invitations and no offer of points. At the top of the email it says: I moved up from SG to WP on... 19 Aug! Currently have about 1600 SCs under my belt with a Jan 31 anniversary, so I guess...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    Am I the only one who struggles to eat this without cutlery? These days I decline it as it's just too messy... I'm clearly too uncoordinated.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Just be prepared with some backup options as the availablity shown to agents sometimes doesn't match up with what's shown on the website. I've been lucky getting the same flights a day either side so far though. YMMV. As always, some flexibility is needed in your planning.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Thanks so much for running that :) That's a much more reasonable figure. After 3 calls and 2.5 hours on the phone with Qantas yesterday, I finally got someone to provide a tax/charges breakdown, which the agent read out line by line. The last item was a YQ totalling $565.88, the exact "extra"...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I've had a monster of a time rebooking an itinerary with the tax calculations coming back 2.5x what I'd estimated. I've changed it from a BNE origin to a KUL origin - I wouldn't have expected this to make much of a difference but I don't know for sure because I don't have enough points to put...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Got my callback a bit over 4 hours after being requested (via 13 13 13) and flights are rebooked. I got caught up in the BNE-SIN cancellations and they were spending quite a bit of time checking possible restrictions on the return. Seems they're taking quite a conservative approach to these...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    No call back yet, going on about 4 hours. I actually called last night as soon as I got my cancellation notice and got straight through. But they tried to tell me that I had to pay for alternate flights. I figured I'd HUACA in the morning... Mistake.

    Covid Vaccinated Lanes at airports

    This implies that you have to be booked through, with no options that I can see for self-transfer: Transit Information | COVID-19 Advisory | Singapore Changi Airport If you click through to Jetstar it says interlining with Qantas is coming online from 18 Dec. Though I wonder if they're bring...
