Just did a Melbourne to Taiwan (via Hong Kong) return trip, all on Cathay Pacific. I am Qantas Platinum but booked direct with Cathay, all in discount economy. On the four legs I was upgraded from Economy to Premium Economy twice. On each flight I was personally greeted by the CSM. Because I...

While sitting in the LAX First Class lounge waiting for QF94 I quickly called my wife. I said "I am in the LAX First Class Lounge" She misheard and said 'Sorry did you say third class lounge?' I looked around at the vast number of people sitting on the floor and standing for lack of chairs and...

Tried to check what movies Qantas are showing in International in January. Checked yesterday and today, no months in the months dropdown. Is this normal at the start of each month? At this URL: International Inflight Entertainment | Qantas

I have both Consume and Quota on the iPhone to quickly check my FF points, but while Consume shows total FF points and lifetime SCs, it does not show history. Quota shows history, but once you hit platinum it gets confused and doesn't show useful info. Has anyone found a better app?

So this year I slipped from Plat to Gold and spent 7 months working my way back (mainly in discount economy). Having just made it back to Platinum I was amused to get the welcome to Platinum package with two shiny new RFID bag tags. Appears they dont remember they sent you a set last time you...

Amused by the change to Seat Selection when you move from Gold to Platinum. Here is my choice on Friday while I was still Gold: Here is my choice for same flight this morning having made Platinum on Saturday:

Have flown 4 times since November 9, not one flight has posted FF points yet.... seems things are getting a bit slow?

Actually nothing to do with Qantas, but as a long time QF Platinum who had not flown Cathay Pacific since 1979, I just flew MEL to HGK and then onto Taipei, all with Cathay Pacific. The OneWorld Emerald status clearly impressed them. On each flight I was approached early and asked for drink...

My first trip through Adelaide airport in at least 2 years. Wow what an improvement! The QC is huge and the airport is very modern and clean. Possible could do with some of those flat travelators for the long distances, but overall its quite impressive.

Am trying to setup a family holiday to coughet using QF FF points (have over 400K points). However its painful as QF have it setup so you either fly: MEL to BKK (on Jetstar) SYD to BKK (on QF or BA) SYD to coughet (on Jetstar) My issue is that I would like to fly Mel to coughet, which means...

I am flying to Bangkok on QF1 (in J), shows it landing at 23:15. The airport express bus website says the last bus is at midnight. Based on other peoples experience, will I make it? If not, what are other peoples recommendations to get to the Holiday Inn?

Just checked in Sydney to LA on QF149. Booked in economy (B), walked away from the checkin... looked at the boarding pass to see where I was sitting... only to see I was sitting in 17A and the pass has a beautiful grey stripe along the top. An incredible, unasked for, not even mentioned to...

I see Qantas are offering their AMEX card with no annual fee for the first year. Has anyone taken up these offers and then cancelled the card at 11 months to avoid the first annual fee? In theory you could keep signing up for new cards as new offers come up. Apart from the risk of...

Silly question but just want to be sure here, if I book a flight with a Qantas ticket, all flights being QFxx_ flights, but the flights are all code shares with BA, I will still earn points and SCs at the QF rate, correct? Just like it was really Qantas metal, not BA metal. Correct?

Any one have any experience with how long it takes the the QFF points to appear for using QF Valet Parking? After 2 and 3 weeks still no points.... Its a damn expensive way to park.... but then again its cheaper for my employer than if I took taxis to and from the airport... and the...

Interesting glitch in Qantas FF system. I flew Brisbane to Melb last Thursday for which I should have gotten 859 points plus 859 points (for Platinum status). I didn't get the bonus points. Coincidentally on the same day I made enough SCs to get the 5000 point bonus. Suspect the loyalty...

Was pleasantly suprised to get 50% more points flying Melb to Auckland. Apparently this is good till Sept: http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/newsOffers/flights/2005/feb/newZealand With platinum status bonus got 4929 points each way (total 9858) Since the ticket I bought cost $450.60...

Just got letter from Hertz saying I was now a 5 Star member for renting more than 10 times in a year. They say I am guaranteed an upgrade whenever possible to the next rental category. What experience have people got with this? Do the upgrade really happen? If I rent a Falcon, what do...

Anyone had experience with returning a Hertz rental car in Brisbane when your departing from the Internation terminal? It appears Hertz are only at the Domestic terminal....
