    Starting Wednesday March 16 2022: Save 30% on select Classic Flight Rewards

    Has anyone tested how far this can be extended as a concept?? If I put in say OOL-SYD-SIN the 30% discount applies even though OOL-SYD isn't listed as an eligible flight. But it doesn't work if I put in SYD-SIN-LHR which *should* be eligible under the ToRs.

    Experience with Australian border controls leaving the country

    Reporting back following my trip. Coming from Canberra (an extreme zone) we were met off the plane in the domestic terminal. We had to register our details, were given new N-095 masks then all of us transferring internationally were taken to a waiting area (a masked off area near unused check in...

    Experience with Australian border controls leaving the country

    Thanks Astrosly - this is really helpful. Sounds like I will be able to at least get something to eat and drink once past security even if the lounges aren't open.

    Experience with Australian border controls leaving the country

    Thanks Flashback. I wasn't sure how up to date that information was. That would be great if Marhaba is open 👌

    Experience with Australian border controls leaving the country

    Has anyone been through Melbourne international terminal recently? I'm flying out Wednesday (so excited to be getting on a long haul flight!) and will have around 6 hours - arriving on QANTAS and departing Qatar. I'm assuming all the lounges will be closed, but does anyone know what is open in...

    Best J seats for family of four on 787?

    Why not go with the kids in window seats one behind the other, and the parents across the aisle? That way it'll be easy to get to either kid.

    International departure at Melbourne - how long to allow

    Thanks for this - might stick with the day before flight particularly if things are looking dicey with lock downs. Any advice on how long it will take to get through check in and border checks?

    International departure at Melbourne - how long to allow

    I'm flying out of Melbourne airport with Qatar (in J) in early September. Does anyone have experience with how long to allow to get through all the formalities at the moment? I will fly from Canberra with QANTAS. I am trying to work out how long I will actually need and the risk of cancelled...

    Qantas First Lounges to Reopen

    Future Flight Credits

    I also haven't received a credit I'm waiting on. Mine was never in travel bank as it was a conditional credit.

    Qantas Red Planet

    Hmm I'll give it a shot and see how it goes :)

    FlyPelican - problem with velocity points posting

    So it turns out it's only on eligible routes which for some reason doesn't include BNK-CBR. There's a document buried in the T&C's: https://flypelican.com.au/flying-with-us/velocity.html

    Qantas Points with Afterpay

    I had made three transactions with AfterPay over a couple of weeks and all three credited on 3 September, for the full amount of the purchase (not what I had already paid back).

    Qantas Shopping Question

    I'm not sure what the details are for David Jones. I suspect you may have misread the Apple T&Cs: The exclusion seems to be for Apple Care products purchased individually. Otherwise you could try Kogan - that's also 2 points per dollar.

    FlyPelican - problem with velocity points posting

    Has anyone successfully had Velocity points post from a FlyPelican flight? I flew BNK-CBR on 14 August. The flight is showing up under MyActivity but with no points, just a '-'. I tried to fill out the retrospective claim form and got the message "The passenger is not eligible for the FFP...

    VA COVID Service

    I flew business class last Friday (7th) CBR to OOL. Bottled water was handed out as pbd. Theoretically wine/soft drinks with some sort of small pre-packaged snack was offered, but despite ordering a drink I never received anything (the flight attendant spent an inordinate amount of time flirting...

    Qantas (online) Shopping points prompter add-on - it's good!

    It can take a few months to actually post - to allow for returns etc. If you go to QANTAS shopping > Shopping history and it should list all your purchases and an estimated date they will post.
