    WP in a Covid-19 world

    So wondering how many of you are confident you can retain WP in a Covid environment? I got gifted 500 Status credits and needed 500 more to retain in 10 months. Personally I don't see more than half getting there on just domestic travel, even with all Fully Flexible Economy with the occasional...

    Fully Inflexible - A Rort?

    So... This is one of those blow off steam type messages, once I can forgive, twice even, but not three times in a row. My job, like many means my meetings are pretty open ended, I often fly Standard on my way to wherever and Fully Flexible return so I can book a later flight then get to the...

    QF App - Two Factor Authentication & Other gripes

    So does anyone else get the constant having to wait for a text to authenticate your Qantas login on the app or PC. Especially when travelling in Asia it can take a long time for texts to come through if they do at all. I understand and appreciate the need for Security... But couldn't this be...

    MEL to AKL the Roulette wheel and other Scheduling woes

    Hi all, Just want to vent a bit about my frustrations with the MEL to AKL offerings with Qantas. Since the codeshare flights with EK hit the back burner there are not a lot of options and not many good ones. The roulette wheel I spoke of is the J offering, for the same price you could get...

    When they are good they are very very good and when they are bad...

    Hi Guys, Had any horror luck lately with Qantas? I did recently and as a WP I would say they only did the very bare minimum of what I would expect. This was my recent trip: Qantas on the scheduled 9am MEL to SYD to connect to a 1pm FJ flight toNandi. (2.5hr connection in Sydney is more than...

    Aquire and the Qantas Website

    Hi all, Happy travelling to you in whatever corner of the world this post finds you. Just a quick question in relation to the Aquire program and making bookings on the Qantas website. If you log in as a FF instead of through the Aquire platform, is there any way to make your ABN stick in your...

    When DYKWIA becomes the full <airline> tanty

    I am sure we all have things that annoy us when we travel, like people standing two abreast on a travelator. But when have you seen someone chuck the full tanty? I was in the QF HKG lounge yesterday and saw someone completely do their pfoofer valve over waiting to long for a table...

    Accessing Old QF Bookings

    Hello good people (and Frequent Flyers), I am wondering if your collective wisdom can help me. As a small exercise I have been collecting all my past flight information and collating it, something I never did at the time. I keep a pretty exhaustive record of my emails so I have itineraries...

    Carrying on

    Hi Peoples, Fully intended the double meaning of the thread title as this is an issue that sets many people off faster than reclining seats on a 45 minute flight. I have been feeling like a bit of a mug of late when it comes to cabin baggage. Always adhere to the rules... Even when I see...

    Electronics

    This thread is not a complaint just some idle wondering. I am loving having my phone and tablet on from gate to gate, it's a great alternative to IFE and it's constant interruptions. Flight attendants are happy with my 12.2" tablet being on... But I have been told to switch off my 9" laptop...

    Mix and match express departure cards

    Hello all, Just looking for some advice on the express departure cards for customs. I have collected a few in my travels. What are customs officials like if you use an express card from different airline, say a branded Emirates departure card with air new Zealand? Have you done it and...

    Sleeper Service

    Hello peeps, Trust you're all well and self medicating your jet lag off the top shelf. With the refit of nearly all the fleet with lay flat seating in J, do you think it will lead to schedule changes? The real benefit to me of lay flat seating is the sleeper service where I can arrive into my...

    This thread doesn't matter... Honest, you don't need to check.. It's about SC Metal

    Hello Ladies, Gentleman & People who put their seats back on one hour domestic flights... :evil: Haha.. :lol: ....No seriously I hate you, but that is not the point. This is just an idly wondering thread. When you are WP (I was a W long before the P) and not P1 (Mostly because you have...

    Cabin Announcements

    Is anyone here a huge fan of QF cabin announcements? I mean, does anyone strain forward to hear every word as it flows over the PA system? If you are one of those people, I doff my non-existent hat in your general direction. As you may have deducted through your excellent powers of reasoning, I...

    Advantages of Flying International as SG vs QP

    Hello all, I read these forum a great deal, but post very little. Having seen the furore about Qantas barring QP members in LAX, I wanted to ask this question. If you are predominantly flying QF metal, what are the real advantages of SG for international travel? I am a self funded traveller...

    The Qantas International Airport Experience

    As the title suggests or alludes to, I want to talk about how Airports really hamper the efforts of Qantas to treat their customers really well. My belief is that being a Plat my airport experience should be like wiping my backside with silk, as in the smoothest experience possible in a...
