    Day One of the new QF FF program and where are the seats?

    Hi All, Today is the first day of the newly revamped and enhanced QF FF program. We were promised 5 million new seats of which 30% were supposed to be premium cabin, but when is QF going to add them to the booking site? I just checked for business class for PER-LHR and there are no extras that...

    What is the best annual travel insurance AFTER you have had a medical emergency?

    Hi All, I have a TID annual travel insurance policy and recently had to make a claim because I was hospitalized overseas for a couple of weeks with a spontaneous Lung collapse. They handled the claim very professionally, but as part of the process I read the PDS again to see what I was...

    a380 and 773 vast difference in J standards?

    Hi All, We recently experienced some vast differences in Emirates J standards between a short haul a380 (5 hours) and a longer haul (9 hours) 773 and wonder if this is normal. On the a380 it was a 9pm flight. Mattress's were offered even though sleep would have been somewhat limited due to the...

    Which CC is best for international transactions where a refund might be involved

    Hi, I had an interesting situation, that I had not previously given much thought to, where a rapid refund was involved. I booked some accommodation for 270GBP and paid with an ANZ QFF Gold Visa. The company contacted me within the hour with apologies that the accommodation was not available on...

    Award Ticket Fees on the Rise?

    I just looked at some FF seats for a PER-LHR-PER in March. Only real alternative was Economy Class, as everything else was gone. So, the result would be 112,000 points and $1082 fees! When you can get a $1600 flight with Malaysia or Qatar the fees seem a little excessive on QF.

    How do I get to Orlando in a premium seat for less

    Hi All, Having done a couple of long haul flights in the last 12 months using QF FF points, my points are down to 180k. I need to travel from Perth to Orlando on about September 23, and back in the first week of October, for a conference. I do not know that I could face a 14/15 hour flight in...

    Should long term Qantas Club membership be recognised?

    I recently asked Qantas if they could consider giving recognition to long term Club members, through better status ratings, etc, say Silver after 10 years, Gold at 20 years etc. The idea behind it was the knowledge that not everyone can travel extensively to build status, but they show their...

    Who should take precendence - terms and conditions ambiguous

    Hi All, Just spent the last 30 minutes reading some very engaging threads and it reminded me I was going to ask a question about the terms and conditions of the QFF program for a particular situation. My wife and I are traveling from PER to LHR and return in Nov/Dec. We have managed to secure...

    Carry On Baggage - Locker Space Rules

    Hi All, Just had a run in with a very aggressive FA a PER-MEL flight. It seems to be a continuing problem that if you are in the QC lounge, you get your boarding call, go to the aircraft, only to find that the over head locker is full and no space nearby. In my case there was still room to...

    Multi Class - Points Redeemed Seem Unfair

    Hi All, We want to travel PER - LHR return in Nov/Dec 09. Normally we stop over in both directions in SIN for a day or two. This time we would prefer to fly straight through on connecting flights. The long haul will be in F class, but we cannot (at this stage at least) find any J seats (2...

    How do you think Royal Brunei should have handled this?

    Hi All, I just got back from a trip to Kota Kinabalu, and arrived at Perth to find that about 80% of the passenger luggage was left behind. Let me tell you what appears to have happened. We left Kota Kinabalu Ok, and arrived in Brunei for our connecting flight. It was supposed to be an A320...

    When will QF release F seats on the A380

    Hi All, After following a thread on which F class is better QF or BA, prompted me to post this question. I have asked Qantas when this will happen, but to no avail. I was bumped from dept to dept - no one seems to have the authority to say when, or even if. On the SIN - LHR sector, I can pick...

    Perth - Singapore now 66% more points

    I am rather disappointed that QF have decided to discriminate against the west coast by raising the cost of travel to singapore from 30000 points to 50000 points - a massive 66% increase in points. Also I tried to redeem points for travel any time between Dec 05 and April 06 before the deadline...
