There’s been posts/quotes from the AC rep in the past year or two about AC honoring VA status properly like the other partners (UA/SQ/EY) - anyone heard anything lately? Really hard work holding 2x platinum from both VA and QF and trying to have any basic benefits flying around Canada. Unsure...

This may have been missed by the AU audience - on top of the CA QF website the banner has links to new pricing policies for baggage and seat selection. Main changes I can see are increases to domestic overweight baggage and long haul exit row seats, with a new granular zone based system rather...

Maybe I missed this, but when searching for BNE-HKG in June, QF97 is (apparently) operated by a 787. New frames arriving? Revising the utilisation of the doubles to LAX? Simply a QF IT mistake? Looks like a few dates around there, and sometimes also on the SYD leg.

Not sure it changes much. https://www.oneworld.com/news-information/oneworldnews/-/asset_publisher/QtTQ7EuCzxhd/content/oneworld-appoints-qantas-alan-joyce-as-governing-board-chairman/maximized

Hi all, I have changed plans and will be releasing a previously booked classic award in J on QF11 to LAX for May2. That flight is J9C9D0I0U0 - and U in general is pretty hard to find availability at anytime. No guarantees the seat will come back into inventory but if anyone is looking for a...

Major announcement expected by QANTAS and Brisbane Airports today Speculation about future long haul services from BNE - could it be 787 related?

Hi all, Experienced something weird yesterday - some of my recent flights on WS (QF marketed) didn't credit under the correct fare class. Booked Flex Y through QF.com and was credited with discount Y for the WS sectors. Called up, was told even though I booked a Flex fare some partner airlines...

Hi all, Looking for your advice on what you'd actually do in this situation: I have a trip to Canada planned in June, where the entire trip will probably end up being 4-5 days - ie fly out and land on the 4th and fly home on the 8th (arriving on the 10th). I have a wedding (I am in the bridal...

What is happening with the seasonal services? I haven't seen anything about resumption of the YVR service over the Canadian Summer, nor the BNE-ZQN service over winter? I haven't found anything on the timetable either. Guessing they just aren't happening this year?

Non-stop Sydney to London flights could happen by 2022, says Qantas. Real strategy or posturing for the EK renewal? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/apr/06/non-stop-sydney-to-london-flights-could-happen-by-2022-says-qantas

Hi, I have a flight SYD-BNE on Sunday - and went to select a seat and noticed that while row 4 was still blocked for P1 (confirmed in EF) I could select row 5 (as a WP). Historically I have only been able to select row 6 until closer to checkin. A few thoughts: It was earlier this morning -...

Read an interesting article on FF award redemption programs, with a big comparison on award seat availability. QF and VA are included - interesting QF is up 16% on last year. I assume they were only/mostly looking at Y seats. The Best and Worst Frequent-Flier Rewards Programs for 2016 - WSJ

Is this for real..?! http://www.ausbt.com.au/revealed-emirates-two-class-airbus-a380-seat-map J at the back of upper deck Y? To save money moving the bar?! I can kind of understand if certain routes F is not profitable (and adding +120 Y seats is..) Surprised by what seems like a very...

Today I reached WP - and quite fittingly, the flight that tipped me over the edge was on RetroRoo. AFF is a great resource, so thanks for everyone for being so free with their time. I've learnt a lot, and the tips and tricks have made traveling a lot more enjoyable to the point where planning...

I'm looking at BNE-LAX fares for next week, and noticed something odd. I have the choice of Sale, Saver and Flex on both legs. If I choose Saver on QF16, every single other fare option across every single flight (and there are 16 of them - direct, via SYD, MEL etc) is greyed out. I understand...

Did a few laps around OOL after taking off, then diverted to BNE. Anyone have any idea? Given the maintenance base in BNE and more options to get pax to CHC (eg via Syd onQF139/JQ151) is it likely just positioning instead of landing back at OOL?

Hi all, I just received the monthly update from QF and noticed this: Changes to US Airways and American Airlines fare classes For travel from 1 February 2015 the fare classes on US Airways and American Airlines flights are changing. Clicked through the link and nothing specific - it all...

Hey all, Currently in Europe and have a FASA coming home. There is availability to come home a day earlier - just wanted to confirm where we ended up with changing pre-June 30 xASAs (existing bookings but made after Mar14) will they still earn? Has anyone made a change and had it credit? Thanks

Hi, Just looking for any advice/recommendations on booking some flights while I am in Europe in August. I'm specifically looking for a recommendation where the best place to book flights are (with OW carriers to earn SC) as well as (BA?) AUP opportunities for extra SCs. I do have QFF points to...

I've been reading the site for a while, but until now have managed to find everything I needed to know from old posts. Does anyone know if you can book a domestic flight with an overnight stopover? Specifically, I was looking to book a JASA BNE-MEL where I fly down to SYD thursday evening and...
