    How risky is it to book an award flight on CI with QF points?

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking about heading back to Taiwan for a month, maybe in March or April next year. My partner and I have built up some QF points over the last few years, so I'd like to use them for flights there and back. There looks to be plenty of J availability on CI's MEL-TPE flights...

    Testing out a OW Circle Pacific itinerary online

    Hi, I'm in the process of booking some work travel, and prices being what they are, I'm seeing if I can come up with some creative solutions to suggest to our corporate travel agent to keep costs down. I'm based in Melbourne, and need to be in San Francisco for a week starting September 3 or 4...

    Qantas Advisory Panel survey on airport departure/arrival experience

    Just got a Qantas Advisory Panel survey about arrival experiences, but which also included some questions about departure airports, so it was more like a survey on the outside-of-the-plane journey experience. I found this page of questions interesting: Personally I'm not sure I want to be...

    purchasing points at lower than the advertised Qantas rate

    Qantas lets you buy top-up points. The rate depends on how many you are buying; it ranges from 5c/point when buying 500 points, to ~2.8c/point when buying 20,000 points. I think you could do better by setting up an account with a payment provider such as Stripe and making a payment, to...

    domestic lounge access -- one or two guests?

    Quick question. I thought that access to domestic lounges came with two guest spots. First, am I remembering this right, and does this apply to just the QC or both the QC and J lounge? Second, on Frequent Flyer - Flying Qantas and Partner Airlines - Status Credits and Tier Benefits - Tier...

    linking separate bookings -- will I be able to select better seats for my partner?

    Hi everyone, I have a work trip in February to Sydney and my partner's coming along for the weekend. I had to book separately (mine through work's Egencia account, partner's on the QF site). Since I'm WP I can see free seats from row 6 onwards, but my partner being NB can only select from 19...

    access to Alaska Board Room?

    One of the segments of my December itinerary is PDX-LAX on AS 562 sold as QF 3704. The fare class that the QF MMB page shows me is "Business (I)", though I think there are only two classes on AS 562: Economy and First. From my brief searching it looks like AS lets people with First class...

    new monthly email format tripping up Thunderbird's scam warning

    Received my monthly QFF summary email, and it looks like they've got a new format. Unfortunately it seems to be tripping up Thunderbird's scam warning: I think it's because there are links in the email that have text like "qantas.com/classicawards" but then the actual link goes to something...

    best options for Y (or maybe J?) travel to London (or Paris) at Christmas

    Hi everyone, My parents are planning a trip to the UK and France over the Christmas / New Year period. Something like 19 DEC - 03 JAN. They'll be travelling in Y, but if there's a good deal I might chip in to help bump them up to J. I'm looking to see how my ~270K QFF points might help them...

    made SG; suspending QC?

    Hi all, Yesterday I made SG for the first time (hooray!). My QC membership runs until the end of next month. Do I need to do something to suspend it so that it will come back into effect if I drop back down to PS in the future? Or will this be automatic? Thanks!

    disappointment with J upgrade on QF 29

    In http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/your-questions/seating-availability-allocation-configuration-help-25680-49.html#post824659 I mentioned my excitement about my first J flight on Qantas (and my second J flight ever, after an AKL-MEL one on NZ a couple of years ago). I was...

    booking discount economy then paying for an updgrade to a sale fare

    Hello! I need to travel to Taipei in May, and I would like to take advantage of the J sale fares that just came out. I'm thinking that if I fly MEL-HKG-TPE, I could fly in J for the MEL-HKG segment at least. Now, my work will only pay for Y, and I'd like to be able to upgrade it myself by...
