Hi all, I'd really appreciate advice on how best to manage this predicament. Long story short: Had an award booking MEL-SYD-LAX on QF metal in business Rang QF to add additional segments to it - segments were added (could see online and through the app) but not re-ticketed Called QF to get it...

Hi all, I'm trying to book a one-way award and am having trouble understanding the new pricing structure post the changes last year. The itinerary is as follows in J and all connections are <24hrs: HEL-DOH (QR) DOH-KUL (QR) KUL-MEL (MH) When I try to book it online it quotes me 180k points...

Curious to hear others experiences regarding QF (or other airlines) proactively re-booking pax in the event of a delayed first-leg. SWMBO (NB) was travelling alone MEL-SIN-HEL-TLL. She was booked on QF37 which was delayed 3 hours due to late inbound aircraft Check-in agent wouldn't discuss...

Hi all, Planning a trip for next year to the US for myself and Mrs fairbasa from MEL. Unfortunately because we're traveling with a group we can't afford to be very flexible with dates. We have enough points for both to go one way with QF, with my SG we *should* be able to find J awards for...

Hi all, TransferWise has been around since 2011 but has now grown to a large company with over 600 employees. See a quick video here to understand how it works. They're registered with ASIC and AUSTRAC and I personally have used them 50+ times without a hitch! TransferWise quote you the...

I wondered how long this would take! Lets just hope it's offers some competitive sign-up bonuses. If it's anything like their Travel Money Card it will be a waste of space. Article here: Qantas in talks with Citi on credit card push No doubt Dr Ralph will be thrilled with Qantas' choice of...

Mrs fairbasa's family made an impromptu visit to the Philippines and only told us when they got there! Seeing as they're closer than usual we thought we might try to make a 4 night trip out of it to visit them in a few weeks time. Neither of us have been previously. We're seeking...

Hey all, So my itinerary was changed due to a flight cancellation, now I'm over-nighting in New York in September. Land at JFK around 3pm and fly out midday the next day. I've read there's NOTHING around JFK, but making the long subway trek or expensive taxi ride into Brooklyn/Manhattan...

Saw this one on another forum: Supposedly there's a bug in QF's system that lets non-status flyers choose legroom seats for $30 rather than the usual exorbitant fee? I don't have a booking coming up so interested to hear if it works for others. Supposedly in the confirmation email for your...

Hi all, Yesterday I booked a flight to Tallinn, Estonia with Finnair. I wanted to book with Qantas (as I'd get maybe 6000 extra FF points but the same number of SCs). However, they wouldn't let me book through to Tallinn online (Only Helsinki) and the fare on sale was $1880 without the extra...
