    Recent plane/seat change but not notified?

    Hi all Flying LAX-MEL in March, was booked as A380 with seats selected. Now it looks like all LAX-MEL flights around my date have switched to 787. In MMB, our A380 selected seats are still shown, but next to that, 787 seats are listed (correct cabin) - why would both be showing? I've not...

    Would multiple reward bookings on same flight trigger a problem?

    Hi all I have 2x international classic reward seats booked for myself and travel partner on a flight later this year - QF metal. Some seats in a different cabin have just opened up on the same flight, and I am tempted to jump on them - intention being to decide which to retain in the coming day...

    Changing date of first sector in a 2x flight Reward itinerary?

    Hi all Later this year I have a 2x sector Reward itinerary (Domestic then International) on the same day, both on QF metal. I'd like to bring the Domestic leg forward one day, as I think I'll need an additional work day between the flights, and it would actually be nice to have a 24hr 'buffer'...

    Checking bags part way through an itinerary?

    Hi all Had a scan of the QF site but couldn't quite find what I'm after. I have an upcoming all-QF itinerary which includes a couple of dom legs, then an international leg. I understand my international/greatest baggage allowance will port across to the dom flights, but I can't risk bag delays...

    Recent rental experiences LAX/SFO?

    Hi all Starting to put the pieces together for USA early next year, and car rental is the big unknown. It's pretty terrifying to see quotes of circa $7k for 1 month rental on a basic SUV (Rav 4/Pathfinder) via Hertz, Sixt etc, but I understand it's a massively impacted industry right now. Keen...

    Constant error when applying for NAB CC?

    Hi all Anybody else having issues applying for NAB CCs lately? I've made numerous attempts to apply for the QF Signature Card over the last couple weeks, and each time, I get to the 'Submit' stage, and get a 'System Currently Unavailable' error. Any advice appreciated. I assume this is due to...

    Factors impacting classic award avails early 2020?

    Hi crew For the past two months I been monitoring avails to LAX for Jan/Feb 2020 via all eastern seaboard ports like a hawk, and it's been an absolute drought! I have seen nothing J/F on QF metal, from any airport, which is highly unusual. Over the past several years there has always been...

    Can my Platinum friend help with award booking?

    Hi all A conversation over dinner with a good friend last night got us thinking what he might be able to do to assist me with making my next award booking (USA). He's been Plat for a few years but isn't quite sure exactly what (if anything) he could do to help. At a basic level, I know he will...

    QF Cash - advice for disputing a charge

    Hi all Was in USA Feb 1-28 this year, and used QF Cash whenever possible, including paying for car rentals at dropoff. Fast forward to 28 March, and a bizarre little charge suddenly appeared on my account to the rental company. Very odd, considering we paid for the car at drop off, we were...

    Accessing Virgin Loft lounge @ LAX with V America First Class tickets

    Hi all As part of my Feb USA trip we are flying LAX-SFO, in First Class. A couple of articles on ABT and Point Hacks suggest that if I book through Virgin Australia, I will get free lounge access at LAX. How does this work? How will the Loft Lounge reception staff know to let me in, given I...

    Guest a fellow AFF member into the VA lounge?

    Hi crew! I recall a while back there was a spreadsheet where members could list when they would be at a given lounge, and detail how many pax they would be able to guest in. Is that still a thing? Cheers

    Changing the date of a booked Reward U seat - possible?

    Hi guys If I lock in 2x U Reward seats on a given day, am I able to change the date? QF site seems to suggest you can. If so - I assume the ~6000pt change fee applies? I've read a couple of comments suggesting that the same number of Reward seats must be available on the date you wish to...

    Hi all My sister is flying EK a little later in the year, and her itinerary will include MEL / DXB / SIN. What if any options are available for casual lounge access, be it paid passes, or perhaps a partner program/membership of some sort that includes EK lounges as a benefit? Any advice...

    MEL-LAX on QFF points - first timer after some tips/suggestions

    Hi all Bit of background - I fly to the USA once a year most years, and domestically on QF perhaps once or twice per annum. The remainder of my dom work travel is invariably on VA. I am not really a true 'frequent flyer' by any stretch, and as such status/SC earn isn't of any great...

    Hi crew Flying QF93 on Jan 30 and QF94 home on Feb 22 with a family member (both basic QFF bronze). Aside from the preferred option of being guest-passed in, what options do we have for purchasing lounge access at either end - either a day pass or some sort of short term membership? Any...
