Hi everyone This landed in my inbox today (see attached screenshot). Is Qantas really giving away 100,000 points to people or is this a scam email? It seems odd because it also mentions some discounted flights available however the flights are offered ex London and Im in Melbourne! Thoughts...

Ok Time for the mystery business class flyer to own up. Whose post was it? :) Remember. Confession is good for the soul. https://www.dmarge.com/2019/12/british-airways-business-class-standards.html

Hi everyone I have just completed a trip MEL- HKG - LHR then MUC-SIN-MEL. Last year I also flew J for the first time and flew MEL-NRT - MEL. I have now flown on JAL, Qantas, British Airways, Singapore Airlines in that order in J. My comments on each business class and ratings are as follows...

Hi all I'm just about to head overseas for 4 weeks visiting Hong Kong, uk, France, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Czechia and Singapore. I'm looking for a good value data card with say 3-5gb of data that can be used in all these countries. Can anyone recommend a good multination data only...

Hi everyone I am going to Europe for 4 weeks in June and am contemplating getting a paid travel insurance policy. I have an ANZ travel adventures credit card and a Westpac Altitude credit card and have qualified for the free travel insurance on each of these cards. Would the combination of...

Hi all Simple question. Can one book activities using points? In contrast to other options such as hotels etc I could find no way to do so. Is there a way? cheers Peter

Hi everyone. I'm looking to get a Blazer made up in Hong Kong when I am there in June Which tailor do you recommend and can you provide any tips on how to get a good blazer at a good price. I don't know fabrics at all so I am at the tailors mercy. Cheers Peter

Hi everyone I will be doing a Hong Kong Stopover in June and this will be my 4th visit to one of my favourite places in the world. On previous visits however I have always neglected to visit any restaurants in Hong Kong. I have read travel pamphlets about Hong Kong and they rave about the...

Hi everyone I have a couple of Qantas related questions please. First this saga begins with a classic award booking I had as follows in J for 1 June QF691 MEL-ADE 3.40PM 1 June CX176 Ade-HKG 9.20PM 1 June The reason I am flying via Adelaide is twofold. First I could not find award seats in J...

Hi everyone I have been looking for some time for availability of business class classic reward seats in early June MEL- HKG. None are available at present but I'm hoping that someone cancels. Naturally this requires me to periodically check the Qantas search engine to see if anything has come...

Hi everyone There has been some discussion about the Hong Kong Government no longer limiting the carrier charges that can be charged out of HKG. With this in mind I recalled that the Phillipines did not allow carrier charges for flights leaving there (correct me if I am wrong on this). So as...

Hi all I recently gave a couple of spare lounges passes to a family relative and the subject came up as to whether the alcohol served there was complimentary or not. I was not sure. I know it is during business class flights but I have never asked for alcoholic drinks in the lounge. So are...

This commercial is so wrong. But it is funny. Who amongst you, like me, chimes in with the mantra 'POOOIIINNNTTTSSSS' when spoken by all the Aldi staff every time the commercial is shown? :) Mind you its totally false. With savvy shopping you can save hundreds of dollars by using Flybuys and...

Hi everyone I want to suggest a discussion about the idea of lie down beds in Economy. Planes have been flying further and also becoming more fuel efficient. Some years ago. British Airways introduced us to lie flat seats for business class, now its common. So it seems only a matter of time...

This question makes me wonder. Let's see what people think...

Hi everyone I have a friend with Qantas points who wants to fly one way Mel to Lax in J in early April. He is flexible about dates and is prepared to fly via another City eg Syd, Nadi etc. I looked at availability around this time but of course its school holidays so there are Very few Award...

Hi everyone Can someone please educate me about the various Avios programs and whether I am eligible as an Australian to sign up for any of the Avious programs? My interest stems from the capacity to redeem Avios for rail trips. So they are a useful currency. I understand from my research that...

[moderator hat]*WARNING* Some may find this content disturbing.[/moderaor hat]Very funny video. I don't think I'll be flying Y with them anytime soon. :)

Hi everyone I just returned from Japan and I tried out business class for the first time. JAL in J was polite and pleasant with good service whereas Qantas J was more like a fun pyjama party (with free pyjamas) but again good service. Food was ok in both. Given that flying in J is quite a bit...

Hi all Is it possible to book Air Canada flights with Qantas points? if so are there fuel surcharges? I checked a few routes but could see no sign of Air Canada on the booking engine. Also, I had heard that Qantas was entering into an arrangement with Air Canada to codeshare but again have not...
