re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Need 60sc's to retain WP end June 2016. Can do SYD-AKL-BNE-SYD for about $750 in whY ....maybe swap some points in there to drop the spend down a smidge. Is that about the best cost / SC earn at the moment? Any better ones anyone can find?

Trolling for the hell of trolling? The QF FLounge at LAX is rather nice! Good food, good service, and a great ambience. Not sure what you might be smoking, or which lounge you are actually referring to. But it does not sound like the TBIT FLounge!

Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion QF12 ex LAX on the 28th was operated by a NON refurbed 747 - VH-OJI. The oldest most worn out bird in the fleet! Sloping lie flats in J - and a couple of F booked pax who were seriously unhappy. The seats are rather uncomfortable. I'd...

Thanks for the notes guys. Have booked with Finnair. So the actual legs are SYD-SIN on BA, SIN-HEL-LHR with AY and then LHR-HEL-HKG with AY and HKG-SYD with QF. All under 27 hours end to end - so time is good. Actually gives me a better arrival time into LHR than going with MAS - and get to...

I'm looking at a Euro flight to LHR, going a bit of a long way round, going SYD-HKG-HEL-LHR in J. Mostly just for the fun of travelling another airline other than QF - and their Biz fares are currently as good as MAS, yet yield more points.... The HKG-HEL and v.v. flights are operated by their...

On another forum, a QF employee (allegedly) had documented the extra fuel burn cost of both Wunala and Yananyi Dreaming. The differential on the 737 was noticeable, but given the smaller sectors was acceptable as a PR stunt, considered negligible. Now she is quite faded, there was no business...

Whilst I know the weather is horrendous today at SYD, wondering if anyone ventured out to see the girl on finals and manage to get any photo's in flight? I am also in agreement with other posters here too. This is a strange artwork on the 738 - and certainly not up there with past artwork. The...

"Do Australians really want to fly thru the Middle East to Europe?" I'd say, given the volume of flights that EK operate from the Land Down Under, I'd say yes.... Is only the old duffers that are still wining about DXB as a transfer. Load factors on QFi are reported to be in their mid to high...

Re: Upgrade question As I have posted on another forum, I have never not gotten a points upgrade with QFi. All my upgrades thus far have been processed. The flights have all been booked Y+ with a J request. Not sure if is because QF do very well selling PE seats (hence the extra's on the...

From what I hear from some QF staffers, PER to TXL via DXB is on the cards. Or so the rumour goes, with an A330.

You beat me too it. Just noticed they came up on the AusBT website too. I'm breakfasting in July, but will be September before I sample the complete menu, by which time we should be on the "Spring menu" I think?

Not trying to hi-jack a thread at all, but semi-related to the question for Plat FF's. If flying domestic, say from SYD, and flying from the International Terminal and is a JQ flight, can you still check in at the Qantas First desk as a Plat? Or does one have to queue up with the general...

Thanks Red Roo!

I'll have a couple of hours in transit on QF1..!

I too have just made Platinum. Only joined up 2 years ago. First year went quickly from Bronze to Sliver to Gold, and then a recent Biz class trip to the UK with MAS has knocked me over into Platinum to June 2014! Yikes! Currently already booked on a UK holiday in Y+ in September, but have a...

I've edited your quote to make it easier to read.

If they have kept the same size window lockers/storage when they re-assigned this area of the plane from Y+ to Y in the new config - then yes, the side bins are huge. I too also have shoved my entire laptop bag (with lappy and iPad and bulk etc) into the side store, along with normally my...

Well that just sucks then. I like QF more after this!!!!

I tend to do long haul in Y+ or J either in a polo shirt with jeans / slacks and slip on deck type shoes. In J - I will change into PJ's as soon as they have been handed out by the aircrew. (Does Etihad provide PJ's?). Nothing worse than de-boarding after 12 or 14 hours in the same pants and...

Agreed. I find engaging in lite chat when boarding in J (or Y+) with attendant during drinks service holds well for the remaining 12 hours on board. I have had some quite charming conversations with QF (and other) staff at 40,000 feet. One even managed to get the Captain to get me a football...
