By the early nineties QFF would give you a new cabin bag every year if you requalified for Gold Status (equivalent to Platinum today) plus a couple of upgrade certificates. I think for Silver they gave you a big leather passport wallet.

I was in the TAA Junior Flyers Club from the early 1960s and always flew TAA or Qantas simply because I felt it was "my" airline. Remember the TV ads with some guy looking wistfully up at a Qantas plane passing overhead, saying something like "I own an airline"! I didn't join QFF until early...

Worst was BA SIN-LHR in 2013. We had originally booked on QF about 12 months prior but then QF cut flights from SIN and we were transferred to BA. Instead of the exit row I had booked I found myself on the window in a full row. A/C was not functioning and the FA's response when I eventually got...

Curious that apart from tomorrow and Wednesday this week, Qantas doesn't offer a single QFF points-only reward seat on this route in J until 2nd January 2018.

Re: Qantas tightening up further on lounge passes? From comments above it seems the pay-for-entry scheme is being limited to quieter times in the lounges. I note there are still 20+ offers of physical passes for sale on Ebay - some of them for multiples. The prices also appear to be creeping up...

Every time I've flown that leg it's been a 737 so J is not a separate cabin, just the first few rows. Agree with Muppet above. It depends on whether you value the points or not - and how many more you have left.

Re: Qantas tightening up further on lounge passes? Didn't realise this. Have they also been soliciting Silver & Bronze QFF members with an upcoming flight to purchase QC passes?

Re: Qantas tightening up further on lounge passes? Further developments! I just now received an email from Qantas asking me if I want to buy entry to the Qantas Club for myself and my companion for our flight on Wednesday. $49 each. It seems as though Qantas now intends to control this trade by...

Re: Qantas tightening up further on lounge passes? I guess that's true. However, Qantas will now have a record of who gives and receives passes. Also, they can now only be transferred to other members of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program - which limits the market somewhat. The following is cut...

Qantas tightening up further on lounge passes? Just received my single free Qantas Club invitation today. (I'm Lifetime Silver) It's no longer a physical cardboard pass but an online link address: qantas.com/freeloungeinvite The only reason I can think of for sending out a physical letter...

What about the pax with a seat further back who dumps one or more of his bags in a forward overhead locker on the way through - presumably so he doesn't have to carry it all the way back when we land or to save himself the bother of finding space for all his luggage in the rear lockers. I'm...

I agree AA - the unoccupied spare middle seat is to be shared equally by the occupants of the seats to either side. Ditto with the tray. After more than 1000 flights I take this to be unwritten etiquette. I always use exactly 50% of the tray for my food (which makes it a pretty obvious...

Although in theory it doesn't happen, at least one acquaintance was given complementary QF Gold Status to match his VA Status. Back in the Ansett days I sometimes noticed my (infrequent)Ansett boarding pass had printed on it QFF GOLD. Not sure how they got the information - maybe checkin saw the...
