Hi, I did this same route last year in Aug via SYD, very light load in Y had a row to my self. Good service both ways. If you upgarde try for 1A-5A as you have no one next to you in the 767-300 int. config. CGK trafic to/from the airport can be crazy at times!!! Be carefull. Cheers, Tony

Hi all, I have tried checkmytrip to see what class on my Jetstar flt BNE_SYD_HKT rtn in Star Class might be , no joy as it must be in the Jetstar res system only. I rang Jetstar today to confirm that I will be in the Y cabin on the QF BNE-SYD-BNE legs but earn points and Statis credits at the...

Hi all, My wife and I were out at Longreach last week-end to look over the 747-200 and the Qantas Founders museum. The 707 will be in LRE for easter only. It will be in LRE for good in a few Mths after that. Work is in progres to have it on display next to the 747. The tour of the 747 is well...

Thanks for the link Sea Wolf, Where did it come from? After going though the Amex and QF sites I can't find it? I missed out last time on this offer and would like to apply for the card. 17,000 points is great, however I am most concerned that it takes me to a site for my personal details...

Hi all, About 3 years ago I was on a work trip to Nth QLD . I had to be back for my wife's 40th birthday by the Thur. Some how all my work bagage was lost for a day by QF. This then caused me to have to stay an extra day away. My wife was VERY upset on this news. Not only was I in Nth QLD...

When I joined in 93 to the Qantas FF the cost was $20 my number is 180***. However I know some numbers are not issued in order.e.g. old FF numbers are re used if they are void. I have a good friend who joined in 1995( two years after me) via his business and his number is only 50***. He is not a...

Hi all, Just used my Accor card for the first time in CBR for an over night weekend with my wife. The Olims was $135 with breakfast for a loft bed room. Good value for just a quick trip week end to get away from BNE with no kids. My question is to those who know more than I is, If I use...

Qantas Changes to FF As an old FF in my number 10x,xx_ I too have seen many so called enhancements in the programme. Long ago, I was able to fly J around Au for only 37,500 points. Yes, I did it twice. NAN in J for I think it was 40,000 points. BNE-NOU only 20,000 points each with two seats on...

:) Tried out Jet Star for the first time for an over nite trip BNE-CNS-BNE due to the cost of only $100 RTN, no points but an interesting trip. Chk in at BNE Qantas Club easy, if you are not a QP member the Que was L O N G at the Jet Star area. Just made it into the first 50 to chk in, so...

CSO work :D Wellcome Larry, I cannot help re PER but many years ago I broke into the closed shop via doing a TAFE Cert in travel in BNE and found a job as a CSO for AN. Back then the internation flts for check in were looked after out of BNE were about 50-50 for Qantas and Ansett. Eg AN did...

45kg's carry on? Darron, Wow, 45kg's of carry on stored above your head from DSP to Au? This then makes Qantas a great airline to let you do such an act? I think not. Crazy perhaps? I too am gulity of the odd Kg's over weight, but 35kg's must be the record, congrad's. Glad I was not in or...

Yet again the media is on to the love to hate case of Jet Star. On Ch. 9 news in BNE " A Jet Star 717 had to do an landing in MKY as the plane was full of smoke" The truth MAYBE, of what was the case perhaps in a few days, but the mum's and dad's at home will look at this as another reason...

:shock: Interseting to see QF in the top 3 but negitive in the other :?: Well at least Vermin Blue was not in the ratings at all. Will they as per the norm now do a press statement that they are in/out of the ratings for good reasons :?: I think not. It is not the press that they...

check in :) Hi all, I was once check CSO with AN, we also handled other internation Flts. I would turn a blind eye to some over weight carry on's if and only if the flt was not 100% full or if the international airline layed down the rules I had to stick to the 7kg rule. However, it all...
