With the introduction of the Q400 on the SYD/DBO route there are some nice $69 one way sale fares. With that I have decided to organise a day trip up to Dubbo to include a visit to the open plains zoo. There is plenty of sale availability on QF2040 the 0820 SYD-DBO service. For the return...

Just received this from NSW Police Media. I will be flying in to SYD during the exercise so hopefully I get a glance of it.

After getting status match from QF last year and only earning 110SC since I expecting a drop to silver I today received an emailing staying: You have maintained Gold membership in the Velocity Frequent Flyer program and will continue to have access to additional benefits reserved for...

I don't often bother/remember to log in and adjust my seats at T-80 but today I got on a few hours late for T-80 on my 6SEPT12 QF418 and found 4-9 DEF are still showing as blocked whilst I happily grabbed 4C with a the shadow of 4A taking up 4B. Any idea why some seats are showing as blocked...

I have been working on putting in some of my older flights in to Flight Diary and have come across a few missing airports and have so far not had any luck in getting them added (Made the requests two weeks ago, how long should I expect it to take?) I am missing: LZR - Lizard Island, Qld (flight...

As my DJ gold status is expiring soon and with no plans to switch from QF to DJ I plan to use up my remaining points. I am looking for the best use of my remaining DJ points. I do MEL-SYD return with QF at least twice a month and could use my DJ points for one of those return trips however if...

I am just trying to work out if this means regardless of requalification I can access the lounge for 1 month post expiry? Got 25,000 DJ points to use up but I wont be able to use them before my status expires.

With the $88 MEL-xSYD-OOL flights I have become very tempted to book a couple of my future MEL-SYD returns using the longer itinerary as it ends up cheaper than booking just MEL-SYD. If I check in but don't fly the SYD-OOL or OOL-SYD flight on each booking would the SCs still post for the flown...

I need some help finding a long way between New York (LGA, JFK or EWR) and Washington DC (IAD, DCA or BWI) leaving NYC on the 16th and arriving in DC on the 18th. I can stretch some more time by leaving NY a day earlier or arriving in DC a day later. I want to make a push towards WP. My QF year...

Mid next year I am moving to New York for a year to do my masters, before I begin I am planning a road trip for around 3 months (mid May- mid August) and am looking at my options. Since I will only be 22 I know there will be an extra cost for that, I also want full insurance. I would pick up and...

From the AFR ( Qantas forges Emirates tie )

I am looking at spending 3 weeks in the USA in January, I have already booked classic award flights for QF107 on 31/12/12 and QF108 on 22/01/13. I would happily cop the cancelation fee if anyone can get a more appealing deal than $850 + 128,000 points (Must be a OneWorld carrier) I also need an...

Generally upon arrival I head straight to the exit and go on my way however in a few weeks I have a MEL-SYD where I will have a couple of hours to kill as I wait for someone coming off another flight. I just looked it up on the QF site and it seems that I cannot use the lounge on arrival. What...

A family member who is CLP1 status has often put in my points upgrade requests, recently these have been knocked back only 24 hours before flying. I thought a CLP1 would be notified a week out and be high on the upgrade priority or is this overruled by the fact te person traveling (me) is only a...

Going through my flight history and adding to my spreadsheet I have found an interesting line in my activity statement. Date Description Base points Cabin bonus Status bonus Total points Status credits 08 SEP 01 QF 107 07SEP01 SYDNEY/NEW YORK - - - 20,009 160 15 SEP 01 1 UPGRADE CREDIT...

I arrived in Paris yesterday for 2 weeks and am staying at an Accor member hotel and was wondering if it is possible to join Le Club and credit nights at a hotel on a current booking and if so is it worth joining as a kick start to my membership?

Looking at seat selection for my flight QF10 on July 27th and on the QF site I am allocated 54K and 54J appears available however on ExpertFlyer 54J is showing as blocked. If I move it appears so does my shadow however if I move 54K starts to show as blocked. Do I have a shadow or am I just...

I have just gone ahead and booked a Red-e-Deal ticket on QF449 in mid August. I don't usually book the Red-e-Deals however as I am a way off reaching WP this year (with year end August 30th) I saw no point going flexi. Usually I can select seats as far forward as 25 and very rarely have issues...

I got the status match in August last year and I never had much chance to fly Virgin since then earning only about 160 SCs with them. Will I get a soft drop to Silver or lose status entirely?
