    The Work experience has been at it again...

    Wonder if we want a thread for those silly little mess-ups we can ascribe to the work experience at QF? Flying SIN-SYD on BA (economy plus), then SYD-BNE on QF (after arriving CMB-SIN on UL) So the good news was a) the op-up on the SYD-SIN (on BA) a couple of weeks ago, and b) the text message...

    AA/US merger, SC credits for US post 31Mar2014

    With US joining OW as an affiliate "under the American umbrella" (US Airways to Join oneworld on March 31 2014 :: American Airlines Newsroom), I had a few questions about QF FF and US/AA. I'm trying to plan for some US travel later in 2014. Do we assume that, as an affiliate under American...

    QF fail to issue ticket to EK ... denied boarding

    Last Friday I turned up at BKK to check into QF8418. Of course that's EK metal. Originally booked on QF24 (through QF website), but was reassigned to QF8418. The flight reassigment was done back in FEBRUARY by QF. Apparently this should trigger a re-issue of ticket by QF. I had been able to...

    2013 stoopidity: here, there, everywhere.. incl around the world (twice). .

    This year has seen the flying beanie go nowhere…yet. But now is the time to dust off the stripes. And my bemused wife has had time to add to the stoopidity by making additional stripey items….to be revealed later. My QFF forward bookings currently include 5 itineraries with > 40 sectors and...

    Anyone else in Y or PE see chauffeur drive as an option for DXB flight?

    I have a BNE-MEL-DXB-LHR-DXB-BNE in May, booked as O class. When I look at my booking there's the "customise your journey" button, which when clicked gives me the option for chauffeur drive for the BNE-Mel flight but not for arrival back in BNE). So I book it. Email confirmation. All seems OK...

    When can we book MH on OW xONEx?

    Now that MH are part of OW, presumably their flights should be loaded onto the oneworld itinerary/booking engine. Just had a quick look and couldn't find them. Anyone know when MH flights will be loaded?

    Global sale: what would you do with 5 million points?

    QF global sale on. The fares aren't particularly spectacular (but as highlighted in another thread, there's some very good Y+ fares to Spain for May (EDIT with BA not QF). what caught my eye was what they say 5 million points is nominally worth. I think for most AFFers, we'd think that they're...

    Circle Pacific Fares on Oneworld

    I have a couple of meetings to attend next year and Circle Pacific looks like an interesting way to do it . I'm aware that buying and ticketing from some places is a lot cheaper than others (www.airtickets.com.au/Tariffs/qf1worldcpe-7889-01mar12-a.pdf), but not always easy to achieve. I will...

    Maiden DONE4

    Start your engines.... Tomorrow the start of the RTW in business...starting today as QF silver, getting to WP in a week. I have never gone all the way around in J (did a LONE4 in Feb/Mar), so it will be interesting. QF, AA, BA, CX to compare. Only previous J experience was a surprise op-up...

    QF LHR-SIN or CX LHR-HKG?

    As part of return leg of a DONE4, I'm going to do LHR-BNE, but it will be LHR-SIN-HKG-BNE, or LHR-HKG-SIN-BNE. By then I will be WP (OWE). Bearing in mind that both are overnight flights, does anyone have suggested preference for A380 on QF to SIN (and CX SIN-HKG-BNE, or CX to HKG their 747...

    YASA for partner..who gets SC and miles?

    Forgive a newbie question, had a quick look through QF site and this forum but couldn't find the answer: I want to book YASA RTW for wife to travel alone (approx 160k points and $1100 for itinerary and dates I want, BNE-PER-xSIN-LHR-IAD-xDFW-BNE), using my points. She is no status. By time I...

    DONE4 SC optimising advice

    Hi all you SC run gurus. I do a couple international flights a year to UK or USA in discount Y (been Silver few years). I now have the opportunity for a DONE4 trip in May and had a few questions. I have to get BNE-Washington in a shortish time frame (ie can't spend too much time getting there)...
