    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Many moons ago in April 2018, during his suspension for ball tampering enforced layoff, I pulled up a few yards away from Steven Peter Devereux Smith at the JFK FlAAgship Lounge. If I had to guess how he was eligible to get in, he was probably off to LAX. It was incredibly difficult to resist...

    Advice Requested - Flight Changes (SYD->ICN Return)

    When booking from scratch, the availability has to match what the fare rules stipulate. For a D fare, QF use JL D when available, Y otherwise. There's clearly no D here which is why the booking engine offers Y instead. As others have pointed out, the 0 points/SC earn for JL Y is plain wrong...

    Unable to book flight with Avios online

    It's probably a good thing that you can't book that online right now, as BA's website is charging arbitrary and excessive GST on QF domestics. I'm booking a PER-SYD and it's quoting me 13k Avios + $62.07 in fees and taxes. Usually the fees and taxes are under $50 and comprise of a carrier...

    Qantas and Malaysia Airline Baggage Check through

    The QF and MH need to be in the same PNR for bags to go through. QF don't through check bags on separate PNRs.

    No. MEL-CBR and vice versa don't appear standalone in the GDS at all.

    CLT-LAX vs DFW-LAX SC

    QF and AA reapplied for a joint venture that got rejected by the US Department of Transport a while back. As part of the (re)application the SC earn on transcons was reduced (halved even?) So much for Simpler and Fairer(TM) ...

    Any Benefit? [change to QF code for extra SC's]

    If you're booking a revenue ticket originating from Australia, there's no carrier surcharges on any QF segments (aka YQ/fuel surcharges/fuel fines). This has been the case for a few years now. The QF codeshare on the BA flight doesn't exist, but if it did, it would have been cheaper to book the...

    This site needs to rethink advertising

    The ad in the picture is in the middle of someone's post. Despite the text at the bottom saying it's an ad, it's still too easily misconstrued as part of the post. I don't think I've ever seen ads inserted between paragraphs of someone's post before. I can understand ads being placed in page...

    How long does it take MH to ticket? [Qantas Award]

    Does seat selection not work on MH's site if you put the QF PNR in? The 2 PNRs are identical.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Do you mind posting the routing and carriers you've used for each sector? A $3999 carrier charge certainly doesn't look right...

    Some guidance pls - QF Syd International J lounge and HKG, Pier J lounge

    +1 Roaming lounge staff will walk around 1-2 hours before the main bank of QF flights leave and ask if you want the dish. The BBQ pork and rice is decent, as are the little bites they wheel around on a trolley: (first 2 pics dated Feb 2016, 3rd pic dated Feb 2017)

    It counts as a NYC transit but it also burns up an extra sector.

    QF codeshares on MU PVG to PEK

    Seems like the answer is a resounding no. The codesharing is selective. PVG to PEK: QF4001 9:20am -> 11:55am QF4003 9:05pm -> 11:40pm and PEK to PVG: QF4000 7:25am -> 9:55am QF4004 10:40am -> 12:55pm QF4006 1:10pm -> 3:30pm QF4002 7:00pm -> 9:20pm

    Booking Award Flights from USA to Australia return - suggestions?

    I don't think that'll work, as the fuel surcharges are calculated based on the country where you start your award flights.

    Just have to share this one :)

    Instead of ringing you can also add your QF PNR to a checkmytrip.com account. Bring up the booking there and the second line of each listed flight will contain the carrier specific PNR. Just be warned that if you book a codeshare (e.g. QF flight number, operated by JL) you won't see JL's PNR...
