    How long does QF take to add flights to newly re-opened borders?

    Hi all, does anyone remember how long it took Qantas to reinstate flights to their schedule after an announcement of borders opening? I'm a Western Australian living in Melbourne, attempting to get back home to Perth for Christmas. There is currently only one direct QF flight a day from...

    Oneworld Award - upgrade likelihood?

    Hi all! I'm taking my first OW award in J later this month. I had to book one leg in Y and one in Y+ due to lack of availability. The Y flight is AY and the Y+ is CX. Is there any chance I'll be bumped up at check in, since essentially I've paid for J anyway? Has anyone had any success asking...

    First business award flight + roundabout routing!

    Hi all! I mostly want to share my excitement - I've just managed to book a business class flight from Melbourne to London via Perth, Singapore and Dubai! I had originally booked a far more sensible award from MEL-DXB-LGW but I had to change the date due to work. I thought it'd be impossible...

    Hi all! I'm off to Europe soon and am taking quite a few flights on Vueling codeshares (BA and Iberia). BA and Iberia are both partners with Qantas but when I try to put my flights into the SC calculator, nothing comes up. The routes I'm looking are are: EDI-BCN (ticketed by BA, operated by...

    50% Bonus QFF points offer for travel until 15 July 2016

    I just got this a couple of hours ago. Anyone else? I'm about to book a trip within those dates but my travel buddy hasn't received the email yet. Targeted, perhaps? Also, after registering, the landing page says this: "To take advantage of this limited time offer^, simply book a new...

    Qantas European Companion Sale

    This seems to have just started! I got a weird email from iFly mentioning a Qantas sale, double-checked the Qantas site, and voila! Not sure about other cities, but they have MEL-LHR return in Y for $1653 if you book two seats. Unfortunately not for the dates I need, but that's classic peak...

    Good TV/webseries for foodie travellers

    Hi all! I'm a big fan of food and travel. I loved Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and Gail's Culinary Adventure (the little webseries Gail Simmons did while filming Top Chef). But I need more! I'm heading to Europe for a few months soon...

    Qantas Europe sale in the next few months, or am I dreamin'?

    I'm looking to book an open jaw (MEL-LHR, FCO-MEL) or, alternatively, return (MEL-LHR-MEL) flight with QF roughly 5 July - 20 Sept this year. I've been keeping an eye on the sales and it seems like nothing has come up for flights to Europe in the last few months - for those dates, anyway! Is it...

    Meals on VA Y coast to coast

    Hi! I was wondering which VA flights offer full meal service in Y between MEL and PER. Last time I flew VA (MEL->PER in Dec '14), I received a snack-sized (150 cal or so) burrito - this was a flight that departed at 8.30ish so I'm guessing there's a cut off time where they stop serving dinner...

    How do I get FF credited for a work trip booked by someone else?

    Hi! FF-collecting newbie here. Next week I'm flying MEL-SYD then CBR-MEL for work (a touring show). The company I work for has booked the flights in my name. I'm very keen for the points and SCs but I'm also very new to the company so I don't want to make a fuss... I figure if I know the process...

    Help a newbie - ASA booking question!

    Hi all! I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to the nitty-gritty of QFF points, so please bear with me! I've been reading up on the changes to ASA bookings, and have seen people talk about booking Classic Awards as ASAs (over the phone). Does this mean, if I find a Classic Award seat I want, I...

    Which Qantas planes/flights offer On Demand entertainment?

    Hi! I'm travelling PER to MEL in economy class soon, and I have the choice of three flights at the same price: QF772 on an A330-300; QF802 on an A330-200; or QF476 on a 767-300. I don't really mind what time I travel, so: which would be the better flight? The last couple of Qantas flights I've...
