    Article: Not All Economy Class Products Are the Same

    Choosing a bulkhead seat or exit row seat, usually at an extra cost is a great way to go, but for me it's a trade off against getting a seat that has an armrest you can lift up against those hard armrests that narrow the seat because of the tray table and IFE. Movable armrests let you enjoy that...

    Qantas Original Routing Credit due to Involuntary Rerouting

    Update- Within two hours I got a reply email that the ORC has been processed. I checked and the extra little red airplane was credited, but not the DSC! More emails then.

    Qantas Original Routing Credit due to Involuntary Rerouting

    Hi. I understand about requesting the missing leg ORC and DSC. I was asking specifically about the extra sector being credited towards the required 4 Qantas flights needed to retain/attain status level. My account has only been credited one red airplane, but it should be two if the original...

    Qantas Original Routing Credit due to Involuntary Rerouting

    Just wondering if anyone has experienced that, and is it something you would specifically ask for in the ORC request.

    Qantas Original Routing Credit due to Involuntary Rerouting

    I know that. What I mean is that you are required to fly four segments on Qantas flights in one year to retain. I was booked on two, dropped to one.

    Qantas Original Routing Credit due to Involuntary Rerouting

    As well as the ORC, has anyone claimed the missing segment? DRW-BNE-SYD changed to direct DRW-SYD, only credited one segment.

    Qantas Original Routing Credit due to Involuntary Rerouting

    About to claim for ORC. Usually spend my double status credits run DRW-BNE-SYD, however got bumped to direct SYD. The original counted as two segments as well, can I claim the extra segment they took off me?

    Seating Availability/Allocation/Configuration Help Desk

    Hi all, looking to get a snapshot of the loading for tomorrows QF62 HND-BNE, 13 September. Traveling Y and wondering if it's worth assigning seats down the back of the aircraft and hopefully snag the 4 centre seats or stay in the J/K seats we have up front of the Y cabin? Thanks!

    QF63 SYD to JNB B747 config

    Thanks for the replies. All set to go. Working at Darwin Airport I have the advantage of asking the Qantas staff the load numbers. PE full and only 7 J class seats available 4 days out. Haven't got our hopes up for the requested upgrade. Would much prefer it though on the return QF64 as that's...

    QF63 SYD to JNB B747 config

    Off topic but if anyone who has recently travelled to South Africa and back, do I need a yellow fever vaccination to enter SA? I've checked other forums and the answers are convoluted, Smarttraveller says I do, and maybe refused entry if I don't.

    Hi, we're flying to JNB 1st Jul and was excited to see that the flight path takes us down near Antarctica offering some great views, so I selected row 36a/b in premium economy, only to learn now that on some aircraft that seat has no window! Checking back on the manage my flight page, I'm unable...

    New QF A380 reconfiguration!!!

    Hi, flying next week SYD-LAX and scored 32 J/K. My first time on an A380 and wanted the experience to be as pleasant as possible. It's one week out from fly time and just checked seat selection, and there are a ton of seats available in lower deck. Are these planes not flying at capacity? Also...
