Thanks for your suggestions Fred and Exceladdict. I appreciate your input. Unfortunately I won't be able to maintain QF Gold because I won't be flying 4 segments on QF this year, so I will be focused on the AA program. Good to know I can place my QF membership number on the booking until...

Thanks RooFlyer. I appreciate your quick response. Yes, we are staying in Calgary for the long term, so best to switch programs. You are right, domestically there is no lounge access for status, only if you purchase a membership. I'm also wondering about OW Sapphire perks like baggage...

Hi I had been living in Australia for the past 2 years and attained QF Gold status mostly due to international travel for work (in Y). I am now living in Canada and still flying quite a bit for work. Since I have OW Sapphire I thought it best to fly on AA as much as possible even though I have...

I just take photos of all my loyalty cards with my smartphone and have them in a separate album. Works well for bar codes and membership numbers. Passport gets tucked into shirt pocket or cargo pants/shorts pocket. For overseas travel I have a small wallet that takes care of a couple of credit...

I had the exact same experience on Sunday Jul 20. I arrived early to the lounge, 5pm, and shared the lounge with a handful of pax until about 8pm when it progressively filled up. I over heard the staff briefing near the bar/fireplace area - the manager was stressing the importance of providing...

I just got back from a return trip from MEL to Calgary (YYC) via LAX on a family holiday. My family and I were able to select the 4 middle seats on the upper deck in row 34 (I am QF gold). We enjoyed the mini-cabin feel - not a constant flow of traffic back and forth, and close to the toilet and...

Thanks nonpop. I have done the MEL-LAX quite a few times in Y but never had an upgradeable fare before. On the return flight, which is overnight, I snagged 71D which gives me lots of leg room in Y, so it's a toss up whether to upgrade. Do you think the upgrade to PE (18000) or J (45000) is...

Great pics. Thanks! We have a family trip to Canada (from MEL via LAX) departing on Jun 29 and we got the middle 4 seats in row 34 for both directions. I am QF gold but the window seats and row 32 were all taken. I also have a flight for business in October to LAX- still no upper cabin...

My guess is that QF is displaying the revenue fares that are applicable if you book revenue fares in both directions to satisfy the fares rules. Unfortunately they are displaying a reward fare on the outbound that is not combinable with the displayed revenue fare on the return. From the...

Sorry if this has been posted already. QF planning to increase the speed of transferring money onto the card. “We plan to introduce a much faster load time in the next few weeks” says Stephanie Tulley, Chief Marketing Officer for Qantas Loyalty, who described the existing waiting time as “a...

You would think that with the lessons learned from the first experience they would be able to make a success of it the second go around. Kudos to them for pulling service that isn't making money.

If you are travelling MEL-SYD-MNL, you will be generating a lot more $$ for QF than someone on the domestic flight. However, if they sell the MEL-SYD to a domestic pax and the SYD-MNL to an international pax, they will get more $$ than selling the seat to you (MEL-SYD-MNL). What are the...

It is illegal in some countries to charge a fee for credit card payment. This is good for the consumer but puts the merchants in a tough position because they have to increase their prices to cover the higher cost of the premium credit cards, which are becoming more prevalent. They have no...

I always thought Orlando (MCO) was a nice airport, but I haven't been there for a few years now.

Beating the Oilers is all that matters. :)

RooFlyer - great report, and as an Aussie who lived in Calgary from 1995 to 2012 I can voucher for the factual (non-BS) information about YYC. :) In fact, my family and I are moving back to YYC at the end of this year. I worked at WestJet for 16 years, and I would highly recommend flying with...

I haven't had QF call to offer this service, but when I did revenue management at another airline we would get the call centre to call pax who were booked on connections when a non-stop was available. It usually is a win/win situation - pax gets a quicker journey, airline has lower costs. Of...

I have had the pleasure to visit the SIN QF lounge a few times in the last month and I was very impressed by the ambiance, food and amenities. The staff are superb - very friendly and always looking for ways to make your stay comfortable. I had the seafood noodles and the Asian Chicken (can't...

I'm already a Signature card holder. I just called Citibank and mentioned the offer. On hold for about 3min while she checked a few things (probably that I am a customer in good standing) and was approved for the no fees for life. No drama. I must say, I am very happy that I didn't have to...
