Apologies if information about this has been posted previously. We recently flew back from Barcelona to Sydney, and were offered complimentary hotel accommodation in Dubai, due to the layover being over 8 hours. I thought I'd post information about this, as there was limited information...

Hi there, I'm going to crowd-source the forum to find the information I need. I'll be 160 SC short of extra platinum benefits (Gold membership for partner). Any suggestions regarding the best way of managing this? SYD - BNE - TVS in J is over $2000 return, SYD - Auckland J is around $1400...

Alan Joyce is live on ABC1's Inside Business saying that small business owners have been emailing him with their support. What is Alan's email? [email protected]?

Anyone else had difficulties logging in to the Qantas Frequent Flyer website this weekend? Called the helpdesk, though had a pleasant but not entirely clueful staff member inform me that there may have been some intermittent problems.

Just checking prices online, and noted that for dates in April and May 2012, Qantas is offering return Business fares to the US for just over $9000 including taxes. Interestingly, one way fares are listed (to New York, at least) for over $11 000.

Hi there everyone, I'm being lazy here. Travelling to Europe mid-year, and will be travelling to the US within the next 12 months. I want to take advantage of the high $AUD. Obviously I could just buy plain cash, but I always get a little nervous about having cash lying around the house...

Cathay Pacific Said to Replace Economy Seats Amid Complaints - Bloomberg

Tried a quick search of board, and couldn't find a mention of this website, so thought I'd link it here: Flights From Hell It's overwhelmingly US-based, and comprises anecdotes forwarded by travellers, though the veracity of these are questionable. The comments posted by other readers...

Hi all, Just noted Business fares to the US on the QF site for $AUD 7500 return, including taxes! Enjoy...

I'm sure Phil Priest is a nice guy, but I'm not sure how his employment with Virgin Blue is newsworthy, especially as he joined the company three years ago: Virgin Blue employee story I think a News Corp journalist decided it was all too difficult to find something to write about, so...

Was looking for a price on the Qantas website the other night when I came across discounted fares SYD - JNB. In March 2009, there is the usual Premium Economy Saver option ($2050 one way), Premium Economy Flex ($2918) and then an extra option simply titled 'Limited Offer' for $1522, a 25%...

There's an article in today's Australian (Frequent flyer float may be grounded | The Australian) discussing the implications of the global financial crisis on the mooted IPO of the Qantas Frequent Flyers program.

Hi All, Thought I'd tap into the collective wisdom and experience of the board. Flying into Perth in July at 01:00 (international inbound), then flying out to Sydney at around 14:00. Any recommendations for hotels near (within 10 km) of the airport? I don't think I'll be able to sit around...

It's poll madness here at Frequentflyer.com.au! For Qantas Frequent Flyers: Platinum = oneworld Emerald Gold = oneworld Saphire Silver = oneworld Ruby Not sure of the equivalents for the BA, CX and AA programs...

Just curious as to the QFF status of users and visitors to this site, and thought I'd experiment with the poll option for posts. I know that Chairman's is not really a QFF level, but thought I'd include it as an option.

Spoke to Finnair in Sydney this afternoon. I was informed that the Business Europe fare, that allowed travel to Europe via North America, returning via Asia, has been withdrawn. This kind of ticket won't be issued for travel after 1 March 2008. The ticket used to be $6999 plus taxes. The...

Just looking at options for travel in May. Finnair have a Business Europe fare for $6999 + taxes. Any oneworld carrier can be used, though in Europe, the intra-European leg must be in Finnair, and it's an economy seat (but it would be only 3 hours at the most). Passengers must transit via...

I'm looking around for a new Visa or Mastercard. Which branded Visa or MC do people recommend to accrue QF frequent flyer points? I always pay off the card at the end of the month. Already have an Amex charge card, but need an alternative for when this is not accepted by a merchant. Cheers

I'm annoyed with myself. I purchased a Travelex cash passport yesterday, as I'm travelling in South Asia over the holiday period, where credit cards are not as commonly accepted as elsewhere in Asia. I purchased a cash passport denominated in euros, as I'll be travelling to Europe in 2008...

For those without an APEC card, the Hong Kong International Airport offers a frequent visitors card for those who visit HK 3 times in a 12 month period. It's free, and the documentation required is pretty straightforward. The card takes about 6 to 8 weeks to arrive, and is valid for 2 years. You...
