    Chances of Waitlist being removed?

    Looking to book a J flight in September. Have looked at a range of dates and legs (PER-MAN, MAN-PER, LHR-PER, PER LHR). I'm only in need of a seat one way with SQ to use some points due to expire - other leg will be with MH. Not too fussed whether it's SQ ex-AU or MH, though the best outcome...

    Have an MH flight in J landing in LHR. Then, an onward BA flight, UK Domestic. These are on separate PNRs. Anybody know if I would have lounge access at LHR due to arriving in J, even though BA ticket doesn't provide it?

    Bonus points at start of 2015?

    I took out an ANZ black at the start of the year, and am positive the offer was 50k QFF points and fee free first year. Followed up with them the other month as bonus points hadn't posted and was told it would be on the statement date after first 3 months. That was yesterday. Still no bonus...

    Enrich Points Transfer - Worth It?

    Couple of family members have a small number of points (10,000 each) which they are unlikely to use before they expire. They're happy to transfer to me if I cover the cost which, at today's prices is around $160AUD each. Interested in others' views on whether this is really worth it, or best...

    Options for cancelling/changing award redemption

    Does anybody have experience in how to either cancel or change an aware redemption on MH (made online through their Enrich site), and what the associated costs are? E.g. if cancel, do you forfeit some or all points? Do you get the taxes/fees back? If you want to change, can you do this...

    Cancelling J classic award seat SYD-DFW 16 Dec

    Hi All Not sure whether this is of interest, as not sure how the reward seats really work in the background, but on the off chance that cancelling my booking opens up a seat for somebody else, thought I'd post it here first, so AFFers have first chance to snap up. This is actually part of a...

    QF Award - correct points charged?

    Probably a very silly question I know, but have never made a similar booking before, so am yet to come across this.... Needed to get from PER to BNE using points in J. No seats available on direct flights, so the system offers my a connection in MEL in both directions. Am fine with this...

    Best place to credit QR flights?

    Family members have been taking yearly MAN-PER (and return) flights in Y. They will likely continue this at a similar frequency for the foreseeable future. Based on fares and timetables, the last couple of flights have been with QR. However, the some quick looking at the earn and burn rates...

    Keep luggage checked in at layover?

    Am flying PER-CBR via SYD on VA. I wanted to do the two sectors on different days (so as to spend a night in SYD), but when I booked, it was cheaper to book as one ticket, with the sectors over two days. However, for the night in SYD, I won't need the baggage that I will check-in. My question...

    SYD-PER upgrade to J worth the points?

    Am flying SYD-PER shortly and, as it'll be our first time flying with our newborn, am considering buring some points to upgrade myself and Mrs BKB, to make the flight a little more comfortable. However, the flight is on a 767 with a 2-2-2 configuration and, based on some limited research, I...

    Outbound award seats available, inbound not released yet - any options?

    Am looking to book 2 J seats to UK at the end of next year. The day I'd like for the outbound leg is almost available in the QFF system (hopefully the J seats will be too!). However, a thought struck me - as I want the inbound leg to be approx 3 weeks after the outbound, does this actually...

    Help required - RTW itinerary - QFF points or purchase OW Explorer / Global Explorer?

    As part of a belated honeymoon, I have finally managed to get work to agree to me having 4 months off, from early April to early August this year, so that my wife and I can go on a RTW trip, as we've always wanted. We have a rough idea of the places we want to visit and, given there's not much...

    Avoiding Frequent Flyer Account Set-up Fee?

    Hi New to this board and new to Australia - transferred here with my Aussie partner recently. We have FF accounts with BA, Virgin, BMI etc, but obviously makes sense to have one with Qantas, now we are based in Oz. However, being British, I'm not used to paying all of these fees for...
