So. I'm back to being SG after a year at WP. I was 150 status credits short for renewal, and didn't want to ASA my way through because I was saving my points and also unsure of my flying load for the next year. I'm not complaining so much about the drop, I understand how the system works. I...

I know this is horribly off topic, but I'm hoping there's a few aerospace nerds here to make this worthwhile: Mars One project is a not-for-profit aiming to send human beings on a one way trip to Mars to establish a permanent colony. I know this sounds extremely far-fetched, but the mission...

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, I looked and didn't find it. I booked my xmas holiday at the Hilton Residences Surfers Paradise via the Qantas Hotels website. Immediately after my stay, my Qantas points were credited. I was expecting my HHonors points to credit too, but the...

I'm doing some international travel in June with my partner and 12 year old. My tickets are booked with EK flight numbers (bar one on Ukraine International Airlines, PS373). I will be WP by the time I take these flights. I've looked and can't find a clear answer anywhere on whether or not...

I know this is off topic (and please feel free to move this to the correct board), but I was hoping there'd be someone here with experience on this matter. I have a case of 13 bottles of (reasonably expensive) wine sitting in a warehouse in Seattle. I've tried to have it posted to Sydney, but...

Can anyone recommend a really nice hotel in Sydney? I have a hot date and my usual haunts just aren't suitable. Somewhere classy with a large spa is the goal. The budget tops out at $500 a night and a QFF partner is a must. I've been looking on websites, but as I am treating a very special...

G'day. I usually book my own travel, but I have a client who has booked me to fly Air Niugini on the PX2 and PX1 between SYD and POM. I've got my e-tickets (on some travel agent's letterhead). Is there a way I can link my QFF# to this, without having to contact the client/travel agent? I...

I've just caught myself signing in to my FF account for the 6th time today to see if the points from my last flight have posted (they haven't yet). I'm not going to do anything immediately with the points, and I know how much to expect (BNE-SYD in Y - 1000pts), but I still find myself checking...

I usually book my accommodation through Qantas' website. Now it redirects to 'Jetstar Hotels'? Eh. I can't even be bothered complaining any more.

Ok, I travel for work and I've got the Frequent Flyer thing down to an art. I want to see if I can enhance my experience when I stay out of town and I'm not sure where I should start. My office has a cap per night on accommodation of $150 a night. I can apply for an exception, but it needs to...

I'm SG on Qantas, booked on a Red-e-Deal at 8pm tonight from Syd to Mel. I've had my afternoon meeting cancel, and now can fly any time from 5pm onwards. I can't change this ticket cause it's a cheapie, and I can't buy another cheapie because there's none left, and I can't justify buying...

I've got a pair of Gold and a single Silver that I don't use. Anyone know if these are worth anything on eBay? Anyone here want them?

I just watched my status change online from Silver to Gold after completing my first ever JASA status run. I am pretty happy with myself and I can't thank this forum enough for helping me on my journey. I wouldn't know what a Business Lounge or JASA was without you guys - thanks again!

What's the name of the website which shows which seats are booked/blocked/etc on a flight?

I've booked my first ever JASA from Sydney to Canberra return. This will get me over the line for SG with only a few days to spare. I'm flying down J, back Y, paid entirely in points. I've gone in to the seat selection screen and it's showing the first three rows as greyed out. It's letting...

Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but you can earn 5 points per $1 on overpriced and unnecessary Valentine's day cough. Also get 500 bonus points on some items. qantas frequent flowers dot com If you get sucked in to this nonsense 'holiday', you may as well earn some points. I'm...

My travel is booked up until the end of Feb, which is my renewal month. I'm going to be 30 SC short of Gold, so I'm going to do a status run to get me over the line. I know this sort of question gets asked all the time, but I was wondering if the experts can find a better/cheaper flight than...
