    What is the ONE thing that QF could do to get you back in the air more regularly post COVID-19?

    They have the paid upgrade offers though, you'll get a situation like I think on United (Happy to be corrected if its not United) where status fliers are in competition with paid up-graders - take a guess who's second in line. I'd be happy with Double SC, even happier with Triple SC and cheap J...

    Qantas FF announcement 20 June - "biggest overhaul" in program history

    Basic math is if you start from zero you need to earn 3,000 SC for 25 years to get to LTP. No way most people are going to be doing that. Life and jobs change so keeping up that rate is not easy - it happened to me.

    Qantas FF announcement 20 June - "biggest overhaul" in program history

    So they are decreasing it even further? Making something cough even coughpier. I also agree with the idea that when major negative changes occur they don't do a press announcement followed by a conference. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't QFF already earn them a lot of money, I'd be cautious...

    Dealing with / advising family and amateurs :/

    I've been able to drill in the advice to my mother. She did take a little convincing, though her first ever trip in Emirates A380 J help bring her over. My cousin on the other hand seems to be in the same story as others in the thread. I took a look found cheap direct fares, however when they...

    Amex D-Day Approaching (14/4/19)!

    It was really slow today at about 3.00pm when I was emptying the account - all to SQ. Must be costing Amex a small fortune with all the transfers this week.

    When is next anticipated double SC promotion?

    I'm also waiting for DSC promo, have a few trips to MEL and NZ to book. I am flexible so don't need to book until April. If Qantas is watching I am ready to book, please let me give you my money! If not I guess I'll just book the cheapest flight.

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    You are correct and its why I'll probably keep the card, when you think about it the card was actually to good compared to the competition.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    As someone booked on QF637 that was the case. As I live in Brisbane I just asked to be transferred to a morning flight rather than arriving at 2 in the morning.

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    If they just did this, I'm sure a number of people would keep their cards. It's the only reason I have the bank west card for international travel purchases.

    DISAPPOINTED WITH SQ A350 BUSINESS BED

    Yeah I've been on the 777 a few times and I can never get good sleep (I'm 6,1) the leg room is restrictive the 350 is better but not that great.

    Double Points and DSC [Book by 8/9/17, fly by 6/9/18]

    QF Gold, have all boxes ticked. I didn't get the offer which is a shame because I would have used it.

    QF to Europe returns to the Kangaroo Route (via SIN)

    This is good news, I never really got into the DXB stop over so I kept the SIN stop. I just flew BA instead which wasn't always the greatest. Their J product imo is worst than the A380 skybed II.

    QF announce non-stop Perth-London B787 Services

    People use to say that about Perth and the East coast management and look what happened... Isn't Melbourne also getting the 747 replaced with the 787-9 for LAX? Economy on any long haul flight stinks, it's never good. Being Brisbane based I'd say this is a plus as I have another option though...

    Heads up about program changes

    I'm also in this position. I'm going to the United States twice this year July and October. There are no QF code shares within the states on seperate domestic tickets... I hope there are plans for codeshares domestically in the US on AA. Because if not on those flights I'm just going to credit...
