Long time QF flyer, switched over to VA for almost a year now so less familiar with the process here. But basically I have an economy ticket to NAN departing in 5 days for 2A1C, and had been put on the business class waitlist for a while now. I am a Platinum and as the rule I have read is...

Being a relatively new follower of VA, I've got a question regarding travel bank. Basically I booked a flex fare from MEL-ZQN return over the Xmas period this year, and there is a possibility we are looking at cancel it (Hopefully not needed). From VA's website, I can see if refund to travel...

Thanks to the flexibility rule of QF that awards flights attract no processing fees until end of the year (international ones), but does QF have a policy regarding the latest time of cancellation request? Do I have to cancel it, for a full refund, a few days in advance, or a few hours, or as...

Friday yesterday I had a return flight with Virgin Australia from Melbourne to Sydney, morning out evening back. Business class, and booked with Amex travel using platinum card benefits to enjoy the discount. Flight out at 8am was awesome, on time, nice service, heaps of seats in the lounge...

I was a long time Gold with QF but didn't travel much during Covid, and now soft landed at Silver. As a Silver I believe I am entitled 1 lounge invitation that I can use, however, I can't really locate it. I can see 1 invitation in my account, which, if my memory serves me right, is from past...

So I've travelled with my family (2 adults 1 kid) to BNE early this month during school holiday, and on the way up we had a half hour delay plus the car seat was lost (or delayed?). Reported to the baggage service at BNE, and up until now (exactly 21 days past) the status is still showing not...

I have an 2 nights stay in Brisbane this coming weekend, and I have booking with both at the moment (need to cancel one). First time travel into BNE city so mainly as a tourist for a few days. Both are central so locations wise not much difference. I’m a diamond with Hilton and an Accor plus...

I made an award booking from MEL - LAX return a while ago for a trip in mid April this year. To fully enjoy the trip, the whole route is a bit fun which consists QF MEL-LAX (stay LAX) JL LAX-NRT-TPE (stay TPE) CI TPE-MEL The booking was made before coronavirus became a thing, and now thanks to...

Was about to make a booking from DXB - HKG using QF points for 2 Adults and 1 kid of the coming new year. Plenty of availability so on that front all is good. However, just found out there are huge differences between tax and other carrier charges between booking with EK or CX. With EK, it is...

Hello all, I have a question regarding the '4 eligible flights' to retain QF status. Basically I had flew with QF 3 times now, and my status credit will be more than enough for Gold for another year. However, I am 1 flight short of the minimum 4 requirements. Have an upcoming trip that I need...

I took the AMEX explorer card offer last year and got about 110,000 points under this account. Due to some reason, I will need to close this account, so now the question becomes where should I transfer those points to? A bit background of myself, currently QF gold, and have been predominantly...

Am looking at some status run in the coming month in States, and found out some weird results in terms of points earning with flight from/to PHL. It appears PHL is not being considered as East Coast USA/Canada per...

I am a long time QF flyer, only occasionally flying VA in the last couple of years. I will be travelling to USA this December, and one of the trips to YSNP is booked with Delta. Today I looked at my booking confirmation, there is an upgrade offer of $189.50 on my entire 3 legs (LAS - xSLC - BZN...

I took the chance early this year to get status match of Etihad gold using my QF status, however, never fly EY and barely VA before. Now I need to travel to CHC from MEL early next year, and since it's either EY/NZ/JQ, and I'm a bit reluctant to fly with JQ, so here comes my rookie questions...

Always wondering the answer, so if I purchase a return Skybus ticket and used it the first time from Melbourne Airport to Southern Cross station, can I use the return leg on a later journey again from Airport to Southern Cross Station? The reason behind this is I usually take late night flight...

Hi everyone, I've recently using my QFF points redeemed a J award tickets HKG - BKK. The first leg will depart HKG at 3.50pm. I will be at WUH (city of mainland of China) that morning, and the only flight from WUH - HKG is under KA, and the flight will depart at 11.40am and arrive at 1.40pm. I...

Hello AFFers, I am a Gold QF and will be travelling on EK next month (booked on EK and flights will be on EK metal). After I put my QF number into Manage My Booking on EK website, I can see there are only 12kg extra baggage allowance. I have contacted EK, and EK confirmed that with a QF Gold...

I am now looking at my next Thailand holiday with Mrs in Jan next year (a bit early I know, but just can't wait). Thanks for the DSC offer received from QF, and my WA one-day status run tour, I am now a GOLD now (YEAH!). Also due to my limited budget, and my OW status, my choices are limited to...

I know there is a Qantas seamless transfer service available to free transfer between terminals. But is there a condition that you do have to fly first? My father in law will take an international flight Sunday morning, and me, my wife and mother-in-law will definitely want to say goodbye at...

After the turmoil yesterday about the grounding, I am starting to think about cancel my flight due in next month to HKG and change it to another airline. Because of the fare type of my booking, no refund is allowed but a voucher will be given at the same credit as the ticket. I logged into the...
