Soon I'm looking at flying Sydney-Nadi in Business Class with Qantas Points on Fiji Airways. Books as an FJ code. I also hold Qantas Platinum status. I checked the Fiji Airways Lounge access page which indicates Business Class tickets have access to a Qantas lounge in Sydney. Given the QF Int...

Hi all, my family are jetting off tomorrow. I linked single-entry Qantas passes to their Economy flight before online check-in opened, and have confirmation emails. However, on their digital boarding passes, I can't see a 'LPAC' code that indicates that lounge access has been attached to the...

In the past, I recall that you could use Velocity Platinum Upgrades for someone travelling on a different itinerary/booking reference, as long as they were on the same flight as the one you were upgrading. Can anyone confirm if this is still the case? With Virgin's lines being so busy, I don't...

It's not quite ExpertFlyer, but Qantas has quietly unveiled its Dream Planner tool today. It looks promising but is more form over function right now. You can set a destination and be notified if reward seats become available. Not sure at this stage whether it's QF metal only or if partners...

Does luggage automatically transfer from a Qantas domestic flight to a Jetstar domestic flight? E.g. QF Sydney to Melbourne and JQ Melbourne to Launceston?

Couldn't find any info on this online - I'm thinking of trying BNE-MEL on the B787 next month, connecting to Launceston. However there are no award seats MEL-LST, so I'd need to book BNE-MEL with points and MEL-LST on cash. Can I through-check my luggage from BNE-MEL-LST on two separate...

Next year I'll be relocating from Perth to Launceston for work. I would like to bring my cello with me. I will most likely use VA since I'm WP and because of their instrument-friendly policy: "Guests who wish to travel with a cello or guitar in the cabin must purchase an additional seat. For...

Hey, in three weeks I'll be flying SilkAir from Penang and then transiting through SIN onwards to Perth as a Velocity Platinum (or Gold if my new membership card doesn't turn up in time). Four of my friends are on the same booking/PNR, but without any status. I'm aware that I should have access...

Just got this interesting offer in my email 2 minutes after requalifying for VA Gold from July 2018. I'm currently on 952 SC and already achieved the required Eligible Sectors. With this offer, I'd just need to reach 973 SC by Nov 4 to upgrade to Platinum. Out of interest, has anyone...

Hi everyone, I just booked PER-MEL-LST and return in flexible economy. When going to upgrade flights, the PER-MEL-PER segments display fine (upgrade available or waitlist). However the MEL-LST-MEL segments say 'upgrades cannot be requested for this flight'. Does anyone know why this is...

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows how early I can drop off my luggage at SIN. I'm booked on SQ231 SIN-SYD, in J, leaving at 0045 (just past Friday midnight). I'm hoping to drop off my bags early in the morning Friday, around 9-10am. Will that be possible? Thanks, BL

Merry Christmas AFF'ers! After many years of lurking around these forums, I used the tips and tricks to book two trips to Japan and NZ in Business class, using QFF points (and a First class experience for my parents). I've just come back from the Japan trip and NZ is in 6 days, so they could...

Hi everyone, While browsing the Qantas Dreamliner page, I stumbled across this graphic: Do you think the PE depicted here will be representative of the actual product, or just a placeholder for something more 'revolutionary'?

I noticed something interesting when browsing today: It appears that "Priority check in and boarding" & "Lounge access" no longer is included with a business reward ticket. Whether this is actually true or not in practice is unclear - a friend who travelled on a J reward from PER-MEL last...

Jetstar Domestic Perth - Early Check-in? A few friends and I are flying PER to KIX in December. - My partner and I are flying QF/JQ J, PER-SYD-CNS-KIX. Our flight departs 23:05. - My other friends are flying JQ Y, PER-CNS-KIX. Their flight departs 01:10 (+1) Since my partner and I have QF J...

Hey there! I've booked an award ticket PER-SYD overnight in J (QF), SYD-CNS following morning in Y (QF), CNS-KIX the same afternoon in 'J' (JQ). I believe my overall ticket is a 'business reward', but with the SYD-CNS sector in Y due to no availability. Three quick questions: 1) If availability...

Hi all, Over the last few years I've had good availability and success with using Optiontown to upgrade my AirAsiaX flights (predominately PER-KUL). However recently I've noticed that their upgrade option doesn't show up any results for any of my upcoming flights. A message to Optiontown only...

Hey there, I've booked a Jetstar award ticket in 'Business' for Perth to Osaka via Cairns. However, the Perth to Cairns leg is in economy (as only Cairns-Osaka on the 787 has business). Given the business redemption price covers the whole route, do you think I would have much success in asking...

Hi everyone, My question is based off this excerpt on the OW website: If I am traveling from HND to PER through HKG (on an award booking), and - HND to HKG is in F - HKG to PER is in J Would I still be able to use the F lounges while in transit in HKG? Thanks :)

Hey everyone, In January, three of us are traveling PER-LAX via MEL and return via BNE. Our domestic PER-MEL is the overnight flight and goes for about 3:30 hrs (QF648). I have the opportunity to upgrade all of us for 60,000 points to J (business suite), and while it would be nice to lie down...
