    Successful QF 'Bid Now Upgrades' data thread

    I received a Qantas online questionnaire about Qantas loyalty yesterday. The first part is my opinion about Qantas and loyalty but I suspect the ultimate question is about opinion on Bid Now programme. The reason is the first part is very generic but the Bid Now parts are very specific. So...

    Qantas and China Southern Sign Codeshare Deal

    The new CZ codeshare is alive now. Qantas.com.au is advertising AU-CAN routes operated by China Southern! Although QFF members could not earn on CZ yet but I assume all codeshare service could count for QFF points and status. And I wonder if this thread could be moved to Qantas forum?

    Joyce: Qantas perth had to go

    It is not that! It is profit margin per seats and per ton of cargo carried. We all know Qantas has no problem in managing revenue. Australians pay one of the highest airfares around the globe. The problem of Qantas is not able to keep up the profit margin, or according to some spectators, the...

    No access to oneworld bookings without QFF number/sector: another enhancement?

    I might be wrong here, but I seems to be able to access my award bookings from BA with Amadeus reservation number (PNR) with Qantas.com.au soon after the E-ticket is confirmed. Although not able to input my Qantas FFP, the reservation will display. However, today I discovered that all my BA...

    Could A345 make QF7/8 non-stop and profitable?

    If you are talking about AA. I think they are using B777W for DFW-HKG and DFW-PVG(?can not remember exactly). As per post, savings on ground cost in BNE and possibly improved yield. Thus I am asking the question and hopefully someone here may come up with some detailed explanation why B744ER...

    Could A345 make QF7/8 non-stop and profitable?

    Thanks for the great info. One thing I have in mind is the aircraft using cycle. A B744ER doing SYD-DFW-BNE-SYD will add one landing/taking-off cycle into the total. Whereas A345 would have one pair less for a return trip and reducing following costs: 1>, landing cost in BNE; 2>, Ground staff...

    Could A345 make QF7/8 non-stop and profitable?

    I would like to know why. B744ER and A345 are both 4 engines. Granted A345 may burn more fuel for a short sector. But for SYD-DFW, a maximum range, which A345 was designed to fly, it may yield a different result. If you simply blame the 4 engines, I think it is just perceptions. Don't forget...

    Could A345 make QF7/8 non-stop and profitable?

    I was going to ask this question in the thread discussing SYD-DFW exclusively but seems could not locate it. So here is my question, as per title, could A345 make the QF7/8 non-stop and profitable? From my understanding by reading various discussions, B744ER has to reduce the load (correct me...

    Anyone have trouble to log-in QFF today?

    Have tried multiple times, when I log-in Qantas website keep asking me for password. However, the screen also shows my balance and shows that I have logged-in. I wonder if anyone else have the same trouble before I contact Qantas. Thanks.

    27th February Big Qantas announcement

    I like the idea. I think Qantas should retire its B767 faster. Jetstar should be scaled back. But all these needs a bold management to handle.

    27th February Big Qantas announcement

    So nobody thinks you may start to earn SC on Emirates coded flights from 27th feb? I bet there would be positive news with negative ones!

    27th February Big Qantas announcement

    The problems of Qantas can't be solved without a drastic change in top level. Qantas has been cut back so much that there is no need to have a big head quater any more. They should sell mascot headquarters and rent a small house in Wollongong to handle the ever shrinking business. The management...

    QFF WP vs MPC DM

    In adult language (so this is not children suitable, anyone under legal age should ignore this post by looking away), alliance is like a swinger group. You have a go with each other and anyone in this group on total commitments and trust. Have multiple partners (like Etihad) is essentially...

    JQ long haul changes - adds MEL HKT, kills SIN to Beijing and Osaka.

    [Rumour]JQ to terminate SIN-PEK from December Can anyone confirm this? Glad that one route did not work for Orange cancer and will bite the dust. If so anyone booked on this flight should check with Qantas (if booked under ASA or Classic Awards or codeshare ) or Jetstar.

    Qantas 'surprise after the election'

    Would that be the abolish of Qantas Sales Act? Which may enable Emirates and Qantas to exchange holdings in each other or Emirates buy into Qantas or Jetstar? And possible AJ leaving the company since this year's shake up in top management?

    The demise of Qantas international flights

    This is an overstatement. Since day 1 of QF's participating in oneworld, QF has not stopped to be the partner who plays outside the alliance. Alitalia, Air France, SAS to name a few of QF's encounters outside the alliance. If QF is happy to share its customer database with those other alliance...
