    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Thanks all, thought that’s the case. Should I expect any delays with collecting luggage and putting them onto the transfer belt? I’m flying in J and will only have one carry-on sized bag, but ideally will want this checked-in so I don’t have to lug it around while quickly grabbing dinner in SF.

    I'm flying to Mexico next month and my flight is the below (on Qantas and American Airlines on one ticket): SYD-SFO-DFW-CAN Will I be able to have my bags checked in all the way to Mexico, or will I need to collect bags and check them in again on my domestic flight in the US and then again for...

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    I've got a flight economy reward seat booked for DFW-SFO-MEL with United early next year. I know United don't release Business reward seats until like a month before departure, but would it be possible to only change a portion of my trip (SFO-MEL) to business if seats get released since I never...

    Large release of Qantas Business & Economy reward seats to London & Rome

    Yeah I thought that's the case (as that's what I'm doing). Shame, as it looks like the business cabin is almost empty for the day I'm looking at flying DFW-MEL.

    The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

    Trying to book 1 x saver award for Mel-Sin in F for literally any day in April / May / early June 2024 but not seeing any availability at all. Never seen it this empty before and I've looked on Expertflyer and heaps of the days still have all four seats available (777). Any chance of additional...

    Best Non-Churning Credit Card

    Ok, bit of a change of requirements now. We now require one which includes international travel insurance. Any good recommendations? AMEX explorer looks good, but now worried she may not get accepted as already working reduced hours.

    Best Non-Churning Credit Card

    This looks good especially with the added bonus. Will look into it more. She's had that before, but probably not worth it with no bonus points each year. The travel website where you use the credit is more expensive than other website, so the feel isn't offset as much. Plus AMEX has higher fees...

    Best Non-Churning Credit Card

    Hi all, My mum is retiring soon so she's looking for the best credit card to use in the future (after churning for a good 10+ years). She doesn't spend a huge amount each year so something with a higher earn rate would be ideal, or alternatively something with a yearly bonus rate. Has anyone...

    Short transfer time in Singapore

    Well Finnair has just changed their departing time and changed the flight duration to 12.5 hours, so looks like I'll have 1hr and 25 minutes which should be fine. Happy I don't need to call Qantas.

    Short transfer time in Singapore

    So what are my options? Call Qantas get them to put me on the next day's flight or just hop I make the connecting flight and if not get put onto the next days flight? I'm assuming if I get Qantas to change the flight now, I'll need to pay for the hotel?

    Short transfer time in Singapore

    Yes I received an updated ticket and all flights are confirmed. Yep flying on both those flights, I saw that Sydney one but don't think it's worth the effort contacting Qantas for an extra 20 minutes transit time. I had major issues at the airport a few months ago when I called Qantas to change...

    I've got a Helsinki-Singapore (Finnair Business) and Singapore-Melbourne (Qantas Economy) award flight booked for mid November (on one ticket). I've now seen that the Helsinki flight has been changed and instead of having a ~2 hour layover, I now only have 45 minutes. Assuming the first flight...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Has anyone had any luck with chasers for waitlists recently when you don't have any status? Looking to get 2 x economy seats confirmed for early January (looks like there is about 30% availability for two of the flights I've waitlisted).

    Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

    These were available a few days ago (24th and 25th of December) from both Melbourne and Sydney in J. I booked two seats then, went back online the next day and they were all gone. Looks like they pulled them to then release them again today. Hoping some seats come available departing Singapore...
