On Monday I'll pass 28,000... What a waste!

Has any further information been released? When are they releasing their new Skywards tiers? Will they have a matching P1 level? How will award redemptions and upgrades work? Will extra award seats still be available on EK flights? Will this depend on having a QF flight number? I currently...

As someone with both Skywards Gold and QFF Platinum One, I'm curious if the new arrangement means I will no longer need one of these, in which case whether one program will be better than the other? Currently Skywards only has 3 tiers (excluding IO) and QFF has 5 tiers (excluding CL), and I get...

Has anyone ever come across a oneworld partner business class ticket that does not earn any SCs or FF points with QFF? I'm aware of some discount economy fares that aren't eligible but never heard of business class not eligible. Seems I have disappointingly stumbled across one.

Approaching Singapore on QF32 A380 on Saturday morning (14 May), as the plane was smoothly approaching the runway for landing, it suddenly took what felt like evasive action, accelerating very rapidly (could feel the g-force and hear the engines power up loudly) and ascended very fast, banking...

Which is better, Air France or BA for a long haul J class flight? Will QF earn be the same on both (assuming code share)? Thanks

Some random thoughts I've had lately about how Qantas can improve it's product. I'm sure many will disagree, but what do you think they can do to improve? Boarding experience Can be improved, alot. Generally all order goes out the door when the flight is called. Priority boarding...

Is it really necessary to close threads? Sometimes there can be a valid contribution to a great thread, a year later. In the past there were a few examples of this, but now it forces us to open a new thread when it may make more sense to continue an old one. Just my 2 cents. Cheers J

So what is the record for Status Credits earned in a year? With my loyalty to the kangaroo this year, I should pass 5,000 SCs. Has anyone hit LTG in 1 year? :) J

Does anyone have this carry-on and if so how do you rate it? What about the Tumi Townhouse? Cheers, J

Across a number of different threads and posts, I've seen several references to Qantas granting greater benefits to FFs who earn the majority of their SCs from Qantas metal versus other Oneworld metal. References to unpublished benefits such as Lifetime Platinum... I'm curious as to the...

Would you recommend (on QF) travelling from Perth to Toronto via Los Angeles or London, including in terms of convenience, travel time, SC and points? Cheers, J

Can anyone recommend a great hotel in Toronto? Reason for travel = business, but comfort is preferred over functionality. Cheers JOBU

Does Canada have a VAT/GST tourist refund scheme? Just trying to decide whether to buy a camera in Toronto. Cheers, JOBU

Is there a common destination that is one flight (i.e. no connections or refueling) from both Perth and Montreal? Cheers, JOBU

Quick question: If I fly on a Star Alliance airline (Air China) and my boarding pass is issued by Cathay with a Cathay (codeshare) flight number, can I still get OneWorld (QF) points? Cheers, JOBU

Hi all, Can anyone recommend a hotel in Johannesburg please? Not really interested in boutique hotels, just a really good business hotel. I have been recommended the Melrose Arch or the Michelangelo. Cheers! JOBU

I did a few quick searches and couldn't find a similar topic in the forums. I am curious as to what you consider are the best destinations around the world for a holiday. I am planning a round the world trip next year and starting with a blank sheet of paper. My main consideration is that...

Hi folks, Been a while since I've been here, life keeping me busy and now have a baby boy :) My question is: I've been saving points for two business class round the world tickets for my wife and myself. I understand that with Qantas a J class RTW fare starts at 280,000 points. I'm up to...
