Totally agree with you mrsterryn. I fly enough to have kept Qantas Platinum since 2014. My last op up international was with a code share flight with Emirates from DXB to AMS in 2015. A totally fantastic and unforgettable experience:) Last domestic SYD-MEL op up in 2014. Maybe the T&C’s for QF...

Many thanks Pushka

Thanks to your advice in the past I was able to maximise SC flying SYD to AKL on EK in First. Now those flights no longer exist . What are your suggestions for quick trips to earn maximum QF SC if I’ve missed (which I have ) double Status promotion. Thanks in advance.

Had a very comfortable flight EK J from SYD to DXB. Breakfast and shower in lounge ready for next leg to AMS. At gate, boarding passes 9A and 10A torn up and replaced with........1E and 1F. Literally skipped down the aero bridge when I realised it was a three class version A380! F was full of...

Thanks opusman and Oz, Has worked out very well - Booked F both ways and used Points for partner in J. This way we both get a turn in F :) Cheers

Many thanks Oz, Your suggestion has changed my plans. Looks like I'll be doing 2 trips to Auckland - at the moment same cost as DPS and much quicker trips in daylight hours. Cheers JM111

I've been spending hours trying to select flights with highest Status Points for lowest $'s to keep Platinum status need 320pts! Jetstar SYD - DPS Business + Max bundle for 120 Status Credits each way seems to be best so far $1554. Please let me know of other options that won't break the bank.

Many thanks Mattg and robbegong for your replies. Will take your advice and check the 'Hosting Metal' to remove the phantom flights.

I'm not having any success booking 1 seat BNE to LHR Business or First for August 2016 using "Miles". Can see loads of flights and when I go to purchase I get the message 'the flight you selected is no longer available. Please modify your request.' Have modified my request till no flights are...

Thanks JB83, I thought that was going to be the case :) I couldn't find it written anywhere in the Emirates blurb. Looks like I'll be wearing my trusty Qantas PJ's.

Flying with Emirates Business in September. Usually fly Qantas and love their pj's. Will Emirates supply PJ's for the SYD - DXB night flight? Or will I have to bring my own?

I'm not getting too much joy holding Qantas Platinum level and am wondering how easy it is to request Velocity equivalent? Have had my chauffeur drive cancelled and no recent success with international upgrades so would like to see if Virgin is any better. Currently Velocity Red. Who do I...

I'm not aware of the criteria. I believe Qantas has only contacted those who had made a booking.

Received an email and phone call on Monday regarding my "disappointment" at the loss of 2 x booked CD. Have been offered compensation of 10k FF points. The conversation went along the lines of Qantas being surprised I was not offered compensation at time of cancelling the CD service. Luckily the...

Re: No more QF chauffer drive to LAX and DFW Hi Red Roo, Compensation of some form can always be offered. Qantas management just needs to know and care of their customers frustration and disappointment and give the frontline 'something' to offer as a token of their poor decision.

Re: No more QF chauffer drive to LAX and DFW Good question. Qantas have chosen the best speaking Australian voices to conduct the calls. Very pleasant conversation, sympathetic tone and agreeing 'yes it is cost cutting'. She caught me off guard as I had phone Qantas on the same day and was...

Re: No more QF chauffer drive to LAX and DFW Yes this is true. Just had the friendly call to cancel 2 existing chauffeur drive bookings :( It seems a very slow death......of the Qantas brand.

2 questions here :) 1. If I have Qantas Club membership can I gain access to Emirates Lounges for an EK flight? 2. Is it possible to buy access to Emirates Lounge Access similar to Qantas Club? Thank you in advance

Try taking Olive Leaf capsules (Nature's Way) and Echinacea plus garlic zinc and Vit C tablets (Nature's Way) morning and night. Will help keep the nasal passages open and stop the sinuses getting infected. I prefer these to Sudafed (palpitations). I fly every second week and this is what works...

Qantas is now offering Emirates Codeshare flights. Any idea when a Companion Fare Sale to Europe will pop up. I took advantage of the fare on Australia Day 2011. Hoping there is one coming soon. Thanks in advance.
