    Qantas frequent flyers unleash over ‘almost worthless points’ in submissions to Senate

    I dunno. They’ve annoyed me so much lately that I advance book discount J in VA. It’s a fairly amateur setup onboard - more so than the previous incarnation - but it’s a cheap way to get a nice big seat and bubbles. And honestly, what else do you need from a PER or DRW? Can anyone confirm the...

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    Bad joke isn’t it? Sacking everyone, pinching the cash, golden handshakes. Gross.

    Qantas Domestic Lounges from 15/06/23 Guests Must be Travelling on Qantas/Partner Airline

    I haven’t flown with Q since the Covid regulations came into force. I was going to do a couple of Jakartas to keep WP. Ended up dropping to Gold, and they’ve extended it til next Jan. Now I’ve taken about six discount J flights on DJ (do we still call it that?) in the last year. I was very...

    Article: Virgin Business Class Better Value than Qantas in 2022?

    Sadly I'm hamstrung by a number of interstate family commitments so in order to stay flexible I'm budgeting on about 8k J travel. Quite a few last minute bookings anticipated. So good though - shame a company had to go teats up to bring reasonable pricing back to the market eh.

    Article: Virgin Business Class Better Value than Qantas in 2022?

    I chased WP with Qantas for ten years and ended up LTG. Business sucks at the moment. My favourite drink is a gin and tonic - say no more. Love the little magnetised rope, love the steward standing in the aisle after landing, in the galley doorway with legs akimbo when one of the flight crew...

    Is it worth paying extra for more QFF status credits?

    Last flight on QF had many Jetstar crew who had recently come to QF (their description, not mine) and my assessment was they couldn't have cared less about WP, LTG (me) or anything else. On a near empty a330 to Perth the J service was swift, sterile and the angry swish of the curtain closing...

    QFF '2fa' but changed phone number

    Hey guys, anyone have a quick fix for this without my having to ring and wait for hours? I have changed phone and email address which is causing an ID problem. I can log in to my QFF account using the 'verify another way' option but once inside the account every time I want to do something I...

    Bad experience with REX Business

    Tried them Syd-Mel. Y trash using the forward lav. When I went in for a quick freshen up there was urine on the sink. Not a 2* hotel in Earl's Court circa 1961 and not acceptable.

    Qantas 747 joy flight out of Canberra

    three lousy flights and no chance of getting a seat as WP - a true QANTAS farewell to the Queen of the Skies.

    Status downgrade not showing

    Hey guys, Have been WP for 9 years and this year only took one flight. It’s two days after my Platinum status should have expired. The status credit bar has been reset but it’s still showing as WP. What do you reckon? Leo

    I was hoping I wouldn' have to do more back to back mel-cgks. First world problems huh

    Have I been comped to wp ?

    Hey guys, Didn't re qualify for plat this year or come close. My membership year finished two days ago and the website has now refreshed my status credits, moved the renewal date to 2019, but still lists me as platinum. Is this a system glitch or have I been comped? I can only dream :)

    QF A380 to DFW; QF9/10 retiming

    Shame about the jumbo... taking the flying barramundi into Dallas won't make me feel like Sue-Ellen Ewing or Pammy coming home from a fashion show in Paris. At all. Ugly old heap of carbonfibre.

    The pointless pathetic penny pinching that pushes away customers thread

    honey, I know many of them socially. When they aren't flying around in Business or having days off they're sitting around like Lord and Lady Muck being rude to customers. I like to get my information direct from the source. Fortunately for me I realise that it's not what you know, it's who you...

    The pointless pathetic penny pinching that pushes away customers thread

    80% of the Lounge and other ground staff should be sacked and replaced with people who are subject to regular performance review and not paid grotesque sums of money under union-strongarmed rates of pay. The other 20% should be given a bonus and used to train the new staff.

    Heads up about program changes

    This move will not cost them! You people are serial freeloaders. Are you all cutting up your FF cards now and calling Virgin? I think not. The only difference is you will now have to pay real money for your status, not exploit loop holes to get it. Sucked in from all of us who have done it...

    Sorry, I meant domestically. QFi is revolting anyway and has been for as long as I can remember.

    Heads up about program changes

    Makes no difference to me. I got WP by doing a serious amount of flying in Y and with occasional J treats. Paid for it all myself. From what I can see, I will still retain WP under the new system. I fly Flexi when I can afford to for the extra SCs, and less points required for an ODU. If you...
