    Flying Emirates - Unsure which Rewards Program to use? QFF or Skywards?

    I have a similar question. Booked on Emirates code so unfortunately no QFF SC's..... (QF code was way more expensive despite being same metal, thus verboten). If I credit to Qantas I get points but not status. I'm presuming I can't put two FF numbers on the booking, i.e. get the points to QFF...

    Free upgrade to Citibank Signature Visa

    i got free upgrade today (after free upgrade from gold to plat some years ago). was a mastercard as well, so now have visa. but like others still compltely confused about earn rate for QFF. the info on the letter under note 1 does suggest it is changing to $2 = 1 point as of march 2012, and if...

    Next Generation Check In

    I'm Plat travelling out of PER this week with Mrs on same booking who's bronze (and doesn't have a shiny new card). Any idea if/how the Q-card would work to check both of us in? (As in what would happen if I waved my card - would it check both of us in?) or is it still the old-fashioned J...

    upgrading the un-upgradeable

    i similarly booked a US trip very very cheaply (per-sfo, O class) and of course fare rules say it's not upgradeable with points. totally happy with the fare and don't care that i wouldn't be able to but has anyone had luck smiling sweetly in the lounge to get an upgrade with points anyway? or...

    Amazing fare on AA to new york

    holy smoke! just came across these fares on AA.com Aus when doing some research and couldn't believe it - PER to NYC for < $1200 incl taxes? PER-LAX for < $1000? that's incredible. my work has paid >$1000 for a return flight to KTA! PER-NRT alone is usually more expensive than that, and NYC is...

    Citibank upgrading fee free Gold to fee free Platinum

    Fee free platinum? not bad at all! I had Citibank gold (normal fee-paying) and they kept sending me invitations to upgrade which I ignored. Then in Oct last year they gave up and just sent me the same thing - a new platinum card in the mail with a letter saying that it will be for the same fee...

    Qantas & Jetstar reduce capacity

    mathematics wins again! hard to argue with simple arithmetic like that (unless you're hillary clinton) look forward to seeing more 767's the a332's again soon then...

    Qantas & Jetstar reduce capacity

    fair enough. still would have thought that say replacing two daily 743 services with three 767 services PER-SYD wouldn't be any more economic. paticularly given some of the 767's aren't exactly ultra-modern fuel-efficient planes... or maybe if they're scaling back the 744's on international...

    Qantas & Jetstar reduce capacity

    are the 747-300's that uneconomic? they certainly clog up PER airport but that's cause everytime i'm on them they're either full or very nearly. i would have thought pulling capacity off PER routes wouldn't be a good money-making strategy at the moment - QF must be making a packet out of...

    PER to Cairns

    i took the sunday flights september last year and both there and back were about 60% full (we had three seats for two of us). being, you'd assume, a predominantly leisure route your chances of an upgrade would be reasonable due to a relative lack of business travellers, except for the fact it's...

    BA Lounge Access with QP Membership

    Excellent! Thanks for the quick response. And it should all be BA lounges so swill be OK there. My company has just changed it's policy to allow QP (and other airline lounge) memberships to be salary sacrificed which is good (mainly cause i get the benefit back now).

    BA Lounge Access with QP Membership

    Quick Question: If I am flying BA (economy and WT+) can I use my paid Qantas Club Membership to access BA's lounges? (Heathrow, Zurich, Rome is where I'll be)? I'm still a lowly bronze QFF. Also, is $195/yr the normal going rate for corporate QP memberships with big companies? And is this...

    Qantas Inflight Entertainment System

    mid-last year flying PER-SYD on one of Qantas' international A330-300's i was excited to have my own tv for this domestic run. after about an hour my AVOD system packed it in along with about half of the plane. they tried resetting it twice (the whole plane's IFE) but to no avail...

    Amex Promo

    can anybody see a problem with signing up, getting the points and cancelling the card before the year is up? there doesn't seem to be any t&c's to the offer (phone only). but 10000 points on sign-up plus 5000 points on first spend plus 2000 points when you first spend with QF, all for no annual...

    World Traveller Plus - status credit earn?

    WT+ earn Is there any way you could earn less than full Status Credits for a WT+ flight? I've just got a REALLY good deal on WT+ from PER to LON in Sept (2650 incl taxes) but not sure exactly which fare code it comes under. So, for WT+ will I always get full economy SC's, no matter how...

    a newbie here but hopefully lots more flying to come! a (hopefully) simple question: i'm going to europe in september on Qantas and will fly out of Zurich on Swiss back to SIN (Swiss metal) then back to PER on Qantas. I'll be booking through Qantas and the flight has a QF flight number...
