Hi All Is anyone else having issues with flight itineraries continuously being cancelled or affected by schedule changes? Of course, I know that Covid right now will be affecting flights, but I have just had one of the most frustrating calls with Qantas. An upcoming trip to Tassie for late...

Hi Everyone Planning to go back to the UK in June or July so thought I'd check out what's on offer with classic rewards as well as points plus pay. Normally, I never look at the points plus pay as classic rewards work out better value in points, even with the high taxes contained within a...

Hi All I pay my rent to my realesate agent and their payment details are via DEFT. In the past I had tried to pay this by points credit card by logging into my internet banking, but it was never allowed to be done via that method. I recently realised that I can pay direct to DEFT, where it...

Hi Everyone I'm travelling to Thailand over new year visiting Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and am looking for an island getaway from 28th Dec - 2nd Jan. I've been to Thailand plenty, but never the islands so am looking for a recommendation as there are so many to choose from. Travelling with a...

Hi All This text is attached to the main page of the Qantas restaurants page, however there is no information on the offer. No idea whether this is per person, per booking, what the conditions are or anything. In fact the small print at the bottom off the page where you normally get info on...

New legislation passed today (effective July 1st) mean that companies can no longer charge outrageous credit card fees and can only pass on the actual transaction cost. The article below mentions Qantas and the $7 surcharge, stating that the actual cost incurred by Qantas for a cheap flight is...

Hi All I have achieved SG status on Qantas for the first time after a lot of hard working and a hell of a lot of flying for both business and pleasure - mostly in economy. I'm happy that I now have WG until March 2017 for lounge access, but I wondered what everyone does with their points...

Hi Forum I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but just wanted to check. I am booking a one way flight from SYD - LAX via SFO. I actually want to get off at SFO and not take the second leg of the flight. Is there any issue with doing this? I will have to collect my luggage anyway at SFO...

Hi forum My dad is coming to Australia for the first time in Feb and during this time we will visit NZ for 10 days. 7 of these days will be on the south island but as neither my dad or I have been to NZ before and I was hoping for some assistance/opinions on our stay and a road trip itinerary...

Hi everyone This is probably a stupid question but I have looked around and cannot find an answer. I will be in the USA Dec/Jan and while I am there I will earn enough SC's to become a Gold FF. The thing is the flight that will tip me to gold is an AA flight which will be taken just a few...

Hi everyone I am flying with Qantas SYD - LAX this December. I then have a three hour transit time between this and a flight to SFO. As I will be coming off a very long flight, I wondered if there is anywhere I can get a shower at LAX and freshen up/change. I am only flying economy and am QF...

Hi forum I'm travelling to New York on 6th January next year for 7 nights. As I haven't been to NYC in something like 10 years - and the last time I went was on more of a budget, I was hoping for a recommendation on a hotel. I'm not really keen to stay in Times Square area as I like to get...

Hi Forum My dad is coming over to Aus in February and as he has not been out this way before I've decided to take us on a trip to New Zealand as well as I haven't been there either. We will have 10 full days in NZ, plus one travel day either side and have a flight booked to Queenstown. After...

RANT and whinge ahead Well I feel totally ripped off. My father is visiting Australia next February and I decided to take him on a trip to NZ. We are flying into Queenstown and as it is only six months away (and there are not huge amounts of flights to Queenstown) I thought I better book...

Hi forum I recently stayed at the Mercure Treasury gardens in Melbourne which I booked through a third party agent. On checking qantas.com, it states that partner hotels (including Mercure) earn 3 points per $1 spent. I was told by the Mercure on checking in that I cannot earn QFF points -...

With the changes in the QFF program (expensive ASA's and even classic awards being much higher) it seems like a good way to burn the remaining points - soon when a couple more flights credit - will be to take one of the One World awards. I have seen people post here about different One World...

Hi everyone Im flying my dad over to Australia early next year and booking his ticket through Qantas. I want to fly him London-Subai on the A380 and of course there are two choices - EK metal or Qantas metal. I haven't flown the A380 yet and wondered what peoples thoughts are on the two? I...

Hi everyone I want to upgrade to gold and need to do a status run for 160SC this weekend. While I only have 30,000 VV points left, I will be doing a lot of travel on Virgin over the coming months so gold would be great. I have tried to look at possible status runs, but was hoping for some...

Maybe this sounds like a stupid question - but the answer is not easy to find on the Virgin Australia or Velocity websites. First off when I book a reward flight, I can choose between 'Reward Seat' and 'Any Seat Reward' which I presume is the same as Qantas 'Classic' and 'ASA'. The thing is -...

I went on the Virgin Australia website today as I decided I need a vacation - but I noticed the happy hour countdown is no more. After lots of searching I typed a question into the 'virtual assistant' and got a blurb saying happy hour is "currently not available" on the Virgin Australia...
