    Qantas Panel Invite

    I saw a couple of ~6 year old threads with similar messages, but not a recent one. Not sure how broad or how targeted this is, but just received the following: I don't mind giving my opinion, so I'll probably register...

    A pretty suite trip (SYD-SIN Suites class review; +KH side trip)

    So, I was lucky enough to land an upgrade to SQ Suites class, and thought that justified taking some photos of the food/service, and the seat, to document what is definitely a special occasion for me. I was headed to Singapore for a day for work, with a side trip tacked on at the tail end to...

    Upgrade to suites promotion

    I'm flying in J SYD SIN later in the week, and been mulling over a points upgrade wait list request to R class on the 388. I figured that I probably wouldn't land it and didn't want to burn a bunch of VA points in the process (transferring into KF and then back out). I just got a call from...

    Domestic in Vietnam? (Jetstar Pacific)

    Hi all, Not sure if this is the right forum, but hey here goes. I'm going to be in Vietnam with my folks in June, looking to do a little domestic hopping internally rather than the long trains/buses, though I'm still researching. Vietnam Airlines seemed to be very exxy for flights a...

    VA Plat flying SQ; can I use KF to upgrade but credit to VA?

    Per the title, I only just had a thought, which sounds... plausible, but not sure if it could work. I have a flight booked with SQ in business (booking class D for every flight). I need at least the SYD-SIN and return sectors to credit to VA to retain platinum for another year, and so have...

    Broken "Flight schedule change notification" emails?

    Not sure if anyone else got this (or if this is normal), but I got an email about a schedule change this afternoon. The email contained no body (e.g. details) and only a small attachment (the QF logo). Not sure if this is yet another glitch in the matrix or if I just got lucky...

    Points upgrades on multiple pax (premium companion fare)

    Strange question (as usual for me). Looking to book in some flights to HND under the current premium companion sale, as they're not much more than economy, and have a better shot at upgrading to J, especially if flying on 'off' days/mid week. As you have to book 2 pax to the single booking...

    VA-DL Interline (separate PNR) + MCT in LAX?

    Hi all, Second set of stupid questions from me tonight, trying to lock in some flights for a trip to the US in a couple of weeks. I land at LAX on VA7 @0655 on 31/7. I didn't know where I needed to end up when I booked the long haul sectors, so I only booked to LA (I had issues last year...

    Flying on/around anniversary date

    I read a few old threads on this question (specifically this one which is closed: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/qantas-frequent-flyer-program/flights-on-membership-anniversary-date-7088.html ). I have a similar question, would appreciate clarification. My membership...

    Status changed since lodging upgrade request

    Random and quick question here (sorry for the new thread, I hate creating one when I think it won't actually live long!) I put an upgrade request in about a month ago for an impending flight (Saturday); QF93 from Business (D) to First. I'm not counting on it, but it'd be pretty awesome I...

    My 1st TR: Chasing QFF Status w/ 12 OW J sectors - Japan & Cambodia via SIN & KUL

    Japan/Cambodia trip report I thought I’d write my first trip report as I was lucky enough to travel on one of Qantas’ refurbished international A333s. This trip will take me on a bit of a Oneworld Status run (crediting to Qantas Frequent Flyer), flying with three airlines in the alliance -...

    QF Business - 747 v A380

    Hi all, I've done a bunch of reading around both here and online reviews elsewhere but was wondering if anyone who had first hand experience could comment: I've got a trip coming up to the US with work on QF in J in March, and I'm hoping push a little here and try to maximise my hops (i.e...

    Cambodia - Visa on arrival

    Hi all, I searched and didn't find an answer to this, was seeking others' opinion: My brother, a group of his friends and I are traveling to Cambodia for a 5 day beach trip aka bucks party for my brother. They're flying Air Asia; I'll be flying MH. The Internet seems to suggest there...

    Is it worth a minimum sectors run to get QF Silver prior to a 'big' QF J trip?

    Next year I'll be doing a fair bit of travel on QF & partners, and I haven't done anything serious for quite a while. Currently on 0SCs and Bronze. I'm flying QF J SYD-SIN, then MH J SIN KUL NRT and return in Feb (with potentially JL domestic hops in Japan). This is between 30/Jan - 23/Feb...

    Cheap PAL flights .au to Japan

    Hey guys. Not sure how much of a published fare this is, but currently you can get flights on Philippine Airlines from Australia to Japan (e.g. Sydney to Tokyo) in ski season for around $740. This is a fair bit cheaper than Jetstar/Scoot/JAL/QF for similar times from what I've seen. Not yet...

    SYD-SIN in J (QF) - What's a good price?

    Hi all, I realise this is a bit of a stupid quesiton, given that the right answer is "whatever you're happy paying", but I'm more after others' experience with sale price vs. regular price. Currently looking at heading to Singapore next year (end of Jan until late Feb) for a couple of things...

    Good Travel Agent for selling international fare?

    Hi all, I'm looking at booking a cheap J fare with MH from Singapore to Japan next year, they're currently on sale for a bit under a third of the next reasonable competitor. I understand the hard product isn't considered top notch (angled flat seat for example) but I'm not too concerned...

    QF SCS earn, calculator versus earning table? Lost VA WP here...

    Hi all. I apologise if this is a stupid question, I've tried to self serve the data but QF's website makes me have complete doubt for my sanity when reading about SCs earnt. I'm a self funded VA Plat who's got some potential business funded work travel soon (our corporate airline is QF) and...

    Lounge access rules differ (int'l) between SYD and MEL/BNE? Or website incorrect

    Hi Velocity, I noticed your new Lounge Access page here: https://www.virginaustralia.com/au/en/experience/at-the-airport/international-lounge-access/ I note that under Platinum membership travelling with Virgin Australia, Guests allowed to the Sydney Koru Club differs from Melbourne and...
