    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I had three surprises today. 1. When looking at this CR+ stuff, I saw that USA was wide open for J CR when we were wanting to travel next March; multiple destinations on multiple days. So J is booked for SFO. 2. QF website was working on Safari and throwing errors on Chrome (normally the other...

    Amex Australia - Centurion Card Eligibility

    When I handed back my Centurion quite a few years ago, I was asked whether I was sure, as I was told if I didn't renew, it would never be offered to me again. And they were true to their word, despite me spending much more now on the Platinum.

    Article: Can LATAM Pass Members Access Qantas Lounges?

    So I'm a bit lost with all this lounge malarkey. My wife and I are flying J on LA804 ex MEL booked as a Qantas CR as a QFF platinum. Would there be Qantas international business or first lounge eligibility in MEL? TIA.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    If this ever happens in the 12 month timeframe announced, I would hope a similar charge of USD100-125 each way was applicable. Apart from the size of animal, that sort of levy would also deter uptake of whatever number limit per flight was applied.

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    Given the size of some of the dogs used in the VA marketing videos, they will need to have a dog chiropractor on hand after Fido spends the whole flight stuffed in a small cage under the chair in front. And apologies in advance for my SO sneezing through the entire flight after the pet parade...

    Obtaining a visa for Chile

    Not sure. Ours say that also, after I received the payment request email. I am just waiting to enter the 90 day period pre travel before I make payment.

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    I had that exSydney the other week. A loud disgruntled woman in the waiting line started saying "these can't all be business" and was trying to get the few in front of her to push in. A platinum lady showed her her pass and said "some of us are priority", but she wasn't having it. She was so...

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    I took a CR flight Friday which will earn DSC from the promo last year (on PC+). How long does it take for the Double points to post as when I looked at the T&Cs, they said to allow up to 8 weeks? The problem is my review date is end of February and those points will get me over the line.

    Obtaining a visa for Chile

    I selected Sydney as I was travelling to Sydney a few times and thought I could go in if any problems. Below is what I received, stating payment is due within 90 days of arrival, as entry has to be within 90 days of visa issuance. The visa issues in 5 days after payment. "Your Tourist Visa...

    Obtaining a visa for Chile

    Date visa required 25/5/24 Date Application submitted; 13/1/24 I used the hotel's details in Valparaiso as the contact. I sent 3 months of a personal account with about 600 bucks in it and minimal transactions. I picked an occupation reasonably close; to be honest I got annoyed scrolling through...

    CNS closed for TC Jasper

    The other scenic route from Cairns to Port Douglas (via Mareeba and Mt Molloy) is now open to traffic as of this morning. It takes a little longer but is a lovely drive through the tablelands and you can see the Barron Falls in full throttle.

    RoadTek not mucking around. These guys are amazing. Before and after washout near Mossman and getting stuck in on the Captain Cook Highway at Ellis Beach and further up. Most roads are open and they're aiming for end of January (at least one lane) for the others.

    For anyone looking to head from CNS north to Port Douglas, there is a landslide at Ellis Beach and also at least 2 around Turtle Cove and Rex Lookout on the Captain Cook Highway. Some boat operators are advertising transport between Cairns and PD on Cairns Notice Board facebook page.

    Article: Good Premium Award Availability to Chile with Qantas Points

    Thanks for the article. When you talk about the domestic connecting flight for no extra points, is that done via multi-city at the time of booking?
