We grabbed some return flights from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast during the recent sale. We flew up on Monday, and are staying in Noosa. Lovely. After the qld/nsw border closure was announced yesterday, we checked our return booking for Saturday. Cancelled. In fact, every flight after Friday is...

Last March, we booked premium economy return flights from Sydney to Houston via Auckland. We flew over in December, and all was well. Until they emailed us that they have chartered a plane from Hi Fly on the Auckland to Sydney leg. On checking their planes (A330 and A340) they don’t seem to have...

Tonight's news reports were full of Qatar's brand new service from Doha to Sydney. The first flight landed in Sydney tonight. Meanwhile, I am desperately trying to find J or F redemption seats from Europe in September. Hooray, I think. If the flights have only just been announced, surely there...

This information is so difficult to get - now that I have it, I thought I would share (otherwise it's a long and tedious wait for qantas to answer the phone followed by long delays while they seek out the details) Note: The term Airpass is a misnomer. These are actually a set of distance driven...

Friends of ours were supposed to fly out to the USA today. A couple in their 50's, 16 y o daughter and elderly grandma. The dad is an accountant and the mum is a nurse. Very conservative WASPy types. They had their visa waiver program approvals months ago. Qantas rang them this morning to say...

Hi, I have been battling breast cancer since February and just had the final round of five months of chemotherapy yesterday. In about 8 weeks I will be finishing radiation therapy and keen to have a self indulgent vacation, child-free, before school breaks up. I have been fantasizing about...

We have 336,000 Flying Blue points from Air France. Unfortunately we have just realised they are going to expire in a week or so (due to repatriation to Australia, we don't fly Air France any more, and after 20 months inactivity, the points will be lost. We are not too keen on going to Korea or...

Sorry if this has already been covered - searching this forum didn't seem to help. My November Jetstar booking to/from HNL does not show on my QFF "Your Bookings" page. When I try to add it using the reference number, QFF says I (my surname) am not the registered traveller with this booking...

I flew from Macau to Sydney last night on Viva Macau. Shortly before landing, this morning the FAs walked up and down the aisles spraying the plane (or should I say us). I had to pinch myself to check I hadn't woken up in 1976, but sure enough, there were no mutton chop sideburns to be seen...

Just tried for availability on the new airline (V Australia) promotional return fare to Los Angeles (a$999 return). It seems fully booked. First date out is 15 December, and the returns from 17 December onwards are already booked. It has to make you wonder if they were ever available. Did...

Hi again fellow FFs. Although I have lurked from time to time, its been a long time since I last appeared here. After ten+ years, I have moved back to Australia (hopefully permanently). Could some of you kind people please give me some advice? My daughter currently needs 260 sc's by 31 Oct...

Last month, my husband (gold FF) was castigated for checking in with 27 kg of baggage when flying economy (international). He indicated that he thought he was allowed 30 kg, and the lady replied that no, he only got 25, but could have an extra 5 kg for being in Qantas Club (he's not, other than...
