I started this thread some time ago concerned at the difficulties faced by FFs in the current context. And the advice given was great. A few weeks ago booked my first award seat to MCY ( destination Noosa). Then yesterday booked my second award flight to Hamilton Island (destination Daydream...

A quick question regarding business class lounges. I will be flying to Hamilton island leaving Melbourne at 7am. At what time do the lounges open? My outbound flight will involve a transfer of aircraft in Brisbane. Where is the business class lounge. After security??? Similar question...

My flight is mid morning. Looking forward to all the facilities in the lounge. A real thrill😀

Hi Rich — heading off in June for 12 days in Noosa escaping Melbourne’s cold winter. Using the business lounge will be a thrill.

The plane is a 737. departing Melbourne. Can you explain further when the bank issued passes are an option. where is the Qantas domestic lounge located. Assume this is after security. Can you provide directions.

I have just booked my first reward flight in business to Noosa (flying into MCY). What a buzz😀. During the booking process I navigated to seat selection and tried to select the first row. But the system wouldn’t allow me to select a seat. Is thus typical or did I do something wrong...

I am truly amazed at the depth of knowledge and the speed of reply — even complex queries. It seems that AFFs have all this information at their fingertips. It’s not just things like conditions of carriage that sometimes require interpretation. But also links to specific answers on websites...

Tiki mentioned FT. Is this a blog?

Could you elaborate what other forums and other sites/sources you follow.

What amazes me is when FFs refer to Qantas conditions of carriage or related policies. Often your replies are so specific requiring possible interpretation of clauses that demand extensive knowledge. Also am greatly impressed when FFs refer to articles published online which provide answers to...

I registered for the webinar but couldn’t attend. I understood there would be a link to the replay. Can anyone provide the link? Thanks in advance.

There has been discussion around the Qantas Emirates partnership in terms of difficulties. So it was interesting to see a commercial on tv heralding the Qantas Emirates partnership in terms of the airlines’ ten year association. Any thoughts on the significance of this commercial and what it...

Any more thoughts. I would have expected more replies. Should this have been posted elsewhere, eg member chit chat?

Hi Everyone, as a newbie to travel I have sat back and read in awe your responses to a range of complex issues and questions. Your knowledge is overwhelming and your technical expertise is incredible. So where does this expertise come from. Is it purely travel experience or do you work (or...

Anna notes that it makes more sense to accumulate status credits to retain platinum rather than focus on accumulating points as preferred flights are hard to come by. So Anna - are you paying full revenue for your flights.

Anna noted not to book partner airlines with Qantas frequent flyer points. Doesn’t this dilute the value of the FF programme? It means we are restricted to Qantas flights if using points. And there are few seats on Qantas flights for points redemption. Sounds like points are only useful...

so does the pre authorisation show up your credit card statement as a charge which is then reversed as a credit?

I have been reading numerous threads pointing out problems and issues as travel plans go pear shaped. If you are advised of a change to your upcoming flight say a few hours before departure and this interferes with subsequent flights - what do you do. You are all experienced flyers and...

Hi, can someone explain in simple terms what is dynamic conversion. Secondly as someone who has not travelled overseas, i would appreciate if someone can someone explain the problem that Anna had in terms of hotel bookings duplicate payments. I thought that hotels on checkin swiped a credit...

Mel_Traveller mentioned phantom availability - what is this. Also can you explain married segments. Also what exactly is meant by codeshare between airlines.
