Looking at SIN/MEL, I noticed that J rewards are 75,000 QF points (vs 68,000 on QF metal). Ok maybe EK (and BA) are more 'expensive'. But what's going on with taxes? QF redemption on EK404 SIN-MEL is 75,000 points + SGD 84.40 whereas EK405 MEL-SIN is 75,000 points + AUD1,217.67 !! Does...

Hi I have this error message showing in my basket on the QF webpage. It's been there for weeks. I do have a few bookings made but they all seem fine in "manage my bookings" screen. Just not sure why this message keeps showing each time I log in. I'm not even sure that 'trip' it is referring to...

Hi I have a SIN-SYD on BA in economy (it is a QF redemption) but am unable to check-in online as apparently the airport is not permitting me to check in online - I am required to check in in person at the airport. This is the second time I think this has happened (previously time was a QF...

In 2019, I managed to redeem using QF classic rewards - HKG-DXB-OSL on Emirates in first - TXL-DOH-SIN on Qatar Airways in business I'm trying to recall how many QF points were used. The points cost is not shown in the e-ticket and the QF transaction page don't go back far enough. Does anyone...

Hi all EK appears to have flights BNE-SIN. However this doesn't seem to be an option if trying to book using QF classic rewards. Does anyone know if EK flights are no longer available on QF classic rewards?

Trying to move my outbound leg QF SYD-BNE from 26 Dec to 1 Jan (due to COVID testing delays). These fares are $99 one way. I noticed that when I try to change my flight to 31 Dec or before, then there is no change fee (given the $99 fare is the same as the one I booked). However, if I choose to...

Hi Anyone else receive an email from Bankwest saying that from 1 April 2020 the points earn on your balance will be reduced? “The number of Qantas Points you earn each day per $100 of account balance will reduce from 0.4 to 0.3 points. In addition, the number of Qantas Points earned per...

I use my own headphones on flights with a dual prong adapter but find that when the dual prong adapter is plugged all the way in I only get audio on one side but if I pull it out ever so slightly then I get audio on both sides. Any one have a fix for this? Wondering if I'm missing something...

Hi When trying to redeem international classic awards, you enter your destinations, key in your membership details and you get to the page showing the calendar with economy availability dates. I then select "Business" so that it shows me the business availability as well as the economy (quite...

Hi I'm looking at a QF rewards booking on CX from SIN-LAX. The QF booking system selected a CX710 SIN-HKG (8am - 11:55am) followed by a CX884 HKG-LAX (12:45pm dep). The 50 mins connection time seems very short but given QF/CX system automatically allocates these two flights, I'm assuming CX...

Hi I've been looking at QF award bookings for a SIN-Brekenridge (Colorado) trip. I need a LAX-EGE (part of a SIN-LAX (JAL) and LAX-EGE (AA) rewards booking on the same ticket) and a LAX-DEN booking on the same day (in case I can't take the LAX-EGE as I'm waiting for another passenger to arrive...

I have a BNE-SIN flight booked with EK but on a QF plane. EK website directs me to QF site for online check-in but QF site says to check in at the airport. Is it the case that QF no longer allows online check-in for flights booked with EK? Feels like the EK/QF partnership is getting less...
