One final update - this was solved with a brief phone call. Thank you for the solid gold advice!

Ahh, thank you both for your help. I've tried to cancel and re-request but to no avail. I'll give QF a call and update this post with the result.

Having successfully requested many domestic points upgrades over the years, I'm familiar with the process. Wherever possible, I check award seat availability to find a flight where my upgrade can be immediately approved. I've booked some flights for next year with ample business award seat...

Does anyone know what happened to QF574 PER-SYD this morning?

Given the choice of aircraft on PER-SIN, I'd even prefer SQ economy to QF business class. 5+ hours is far too long to be crammed into a 737. I can barely tolerate the short hop from Perth to Adelaide.

Re: Westpac Reward Cards First Year Annual Fee Waived & up to 60,000 Bonus Points How long is Westpac taking to credit the 60,000 bonus points with these cards? I've gone through a couple of statement cycles already without seeing the bonus points.

I used to regularly get fairly generous offers, but after failing to use a few they seem to have dried up. I had a few weeks in a row where I activated and forgot to use the offer, now I'm getting almost nothing. My WW spend is back up to normal, so hopefully the offers start coming through again!

If I go via HKG I'll definitely stop to visit friends and see the city! SQ is my fallback option - I've had excellent long haul flights with them previously but Velocity points are not terribly useful to me.

I'll keep that in mind, thank you. If that happens, then my problem will definitely be solved! Here's hoping.

I believe so, yep. 2-4-2 at the back wouldn't be so bad as I'll be with my partner. I've heard mixed reports about the reduced width in each seat making for a tighter squeeze. A light load would certainly make it less cramped! Probably around June-July. Waiting on confirmation of a wedding...

I'm looking at PER-LHR return in Y next year. In an effort to minimise the discomfort, I'd like to avoid the dreaded 3-4-3 layout on Emirates 777. Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternate route, either on QF or with a Oneworld partner, without adding too much cost or flight time? I'd...

My shortest flight was a hop from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur - around 35 minutes. I barely had time to have a drink and fill out my immigration card. The transfer from the airport into the KL CBD was three times longer than the flight!

Is it easier/faster to pay in cash at the checkout while making other purchases, or to make a separate trip to the customer service counter?

None for me or the Mrs this week, what's going on?!

I signed up under this promotion in December and promptly received the $25 gift card. The bonus points, as well as the 2:$1 on monthly premiums were nowhere to be found. It took many separate phone calls over 2 months to get the points posted. The 1000 points eventually appeared, as well as the...

Sure beats BPAY which seems to vary from same day to 72 hours!

They aren't "renaming" the aircraft, but putting a big bunch of names on a couple of them in addition to the standard Qantas livery. Any good big marketing campaign (I wouldn't go so far as to call it a rebrand) should be accompanied by improvements, where necessary, in the brand experience...

Re: QF ditches iconic theme - Now its the Spirit of Australians! I believe the "Spirit of Australians" is just being used on the two aircraft which are to be plastered with names, as a play on the "Spirit of Australia" tag.

Great, thank you. I'll give them a call and report back to confirm!

Hi all, Apologies if this is not the correct place to ask. I'm not a frequent SQ flyer, making no more than 1 trip with them (usually PER-SIN) every 18 months. As a result, I never manage to earn a useful amount of points before they expire. I have an upcoming PER-SIN-NRT return trip booked...
