    Article: A Brief History of Qantas Frequent Flyer

    I joined QFF via Australian Airlines in April 1991. At that time, AA offered free Executive Club which gave you a leather boarding pass holder and leather luggage tags. You also had access to economy seats up front where they blocked off the centre seat. This was to counter Compass and it...

    Qantas extends current status Until at least March 2021

    I got it but being a lifetime silver don't need 12 month extension. Obviously Qantas dont record the lifetime part of my status which is disappointing...member since TAA/Australian Airline days when ff started. Been up as high as platinum for 3 years..means nothing now I am retired.

    Using points to retain Platinum ...

    As I am now retired, and currently doing a lap of Australia in our motorhome, I would gladly pay 100k for another year of platinum as plan on o/s travel in the next year and love the extra benefits:) ( Small amount of S/C's this year means probably won't make the 3 year rule)

    Red Roo Update

    I only received help from RR the one time that I needed it and I appreciated it immensely. The continual downgrading of customer support by Qantas to me is worrying as we all know that the airline industry has good times and bad times. I think Qantas, especially with diabolical 2 hour phone...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic award seats?

    Well seeing how you booked but...should have HUACA as the premium desk has an ongoing request for me as a platinum, 2 J seats SIN-PER and even given it a booking ref. Check every few days to see if seats released. Only 4 J seats sold at the moment and 4 in 'I' still available so here's hoping.

    QF-EK broken promises

    I don't know if this is classified as a broken promise...but AJ stated at the start everything would be interchangeable but we cannot use points for upgrade. This is particularly galling for Perth and Adelaide people as we do not have the choice. Having said that, don't mind utilising EK to...
