    Oneworld booking but not all Oneworld!

    Recently I booked a return trip to Houston from Adelaide using the Qantas site and accepted the various alternatives offered for my dates chosen.

    Pausing Qantas Club if Solely Taking Business Class Flights?

    Not sure if this is the place to post, other Qantas Club threads seem to be closed but anyway... This may already be common knowledge but on the basis that Qantas will suspend your QC membership when you attain Gold status, I thought I'd enquire as to what happens when you fly business and are...

    My visions of snaring a business upgrade, via my points collection at that time, were dashed by those in the know of this forum, when I was advised that for a bronze member ,not only was there no certainty in booking a flight and requesting an upgrade via points, in fact it would be very...

    Qantas Loyalty; [QP@EK] lounge rules change [after booking] - Tough luck

    Having Qantas Club membership, I paid the extra to fly Qantas codeshare on the Adelaide - Dubai - Paris route and return rather than just with Emirates.

    Lounge Access in CDG Paris when flying Qantas code share to Adelaide

    As part of my education in being a Qantas club member, to my disbelief I have just found that there is no reciprocal arrangement to access a lounge at CDG when homeward bound to Adelaide.

    Gaining FF points for Australia when flying USA domestic

    Well after the help I had as a Newbie regarding soon to expire SIA FF points, I thought I'd be so bold as to enquire as to whether its worthwhile to join the local FF scheme for USA domestic flights or in some cases will it automatically accrue with your Aussie FF scheme ? By way of example we...
