Hi there. Long time no post for me having had our travel plans put on hold for a while due to me having a baby this year! I was debating whether to put this under Virgin or AMEX so mods please move if you think it is better placed elsewhere. My husband and I have over 400k AMEX points which...

Just a quick question this morning. I've got to book a flight to the US on 20/2 and have been looking at going premium economy. Given the late booking there's not a lot of choice in seats, particularly as I'm travelling with one other person. Based on expert flyer. QF11 looks choccas in Y+, and...

Hi, just a quick question today. We're on QF93 next Sunday (10/10), in discount economy on a non-upgradeable fare. I've been into expertflyer and seen that the flight is virtually full in business and premium economy so fairly sure we won't get a phone call to see if we want to use our points to...

Last year we were called 2 days before our flight from SYD-LAX and offered an upgrade from Discount Economy (red-e-deal) to Business using our FF Points. I was QF Gold, and husband QF Silver. Of course we accepted the offer, particularly as it was on the A380. We are heading to the US for...

My husband and I are travelling to the US in a couple of weeks time and have tickets in economy on the Qantas A380. We're quietly hoping for one of those phone calls two days before the flight offering us a points upgrade as our fare type won't let us apply for it online. However, if we don't...

Hiya, now I did do a search but can't find the answer so thought I would ask the experts :) I need 215 status credits before 31 December to retain my Gold Status. I will get a 50 SCt bonus from qantas on my next flight (tomorrow) as they twigged that I might be a bit short this year so I...

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I have done a search of the forum and can't find an answer. My DH and I are travelling together to the US in December/January. I am Gold Status and he is with Qantas Club so I presume that makes him the same as Silver Status. We can apply for the...

Just a quick query, apologise if it's been covered elsewhere but I couldn't find it. I have just made some bookings on AA and want to link them into my Qantas 'My Bookings' page so I know that I will earn points. Qantas isn't recognising the booking numbers - nor is checkmytrip or...

Hi all, sorry to bother you with what is probably a simple query but I have searched and can't find the answer. I am flying QF0029 to London on 29/4 and have been allocated a seat which I can see on both the Qantas website and checkmytrip. The return trip is on QF010 from London to...

LONG POST ... sorry! OK, so my husband and I both have Platinum AMEX cards and instead of getting seperate travel insurance for our recent 5 week trip decided to use the insurance that we get 'free' with our cards (despite the fact we pay $295 a year each to have the cards). Anyway, in LA...

My husband and I are flying on QF107 on the 1/5/07 in Economy Class as we are paying for it :(. I've been told that this is normally a pretty empty flight so I'm hoping that we will be able to have a row of 3 between us. Currently I have a middle seat as DH likes the window seat and i like the...

I was not sure where to post this so thought best to put in Q&A. Last week I noticed the current promotion for Online Checkin in April to win one of 150 Lenovo notebooks (5 a day) during April. I have just been in to check in for tomorrow's flight and checked out the competition details. The...

Just wondering whether there is a way to get some new QC bag tags as mine are looking a bit old, plus have my old address on them. Thought I would ask here first before making a d#?k of myself asking at the QC desk.

Hoping someone can help me with this query. My husband and I both have platinum amex's and we've just redeemed our free domestic flight. The only problem is that the booking reference on the itinery (sp?) will not come up on the Qantas website, such that I can add it to 'My Bookings' :confused...

Does anyone know of any websites where I can check how much the airline taxes for my trip should be? I have quotes from 2 travel agents, with different amounts quoted for taxes :confused: , so I am interested to find out which one is correct. TIA :p

Has anyone else found a significant time lag between earning points via car hire and hotel use, and the points turning up on their QFF account? I am missing points from car hire and hotels dating back to May! When I called Avis to find out why they didn't put my points through they advised...

Hi everyone! I'm very new to this forum so please excuse if I don't get the jargon right. Can anyone tell me if this is common? I booked a 4 leg trip to London (ADL-SYD-LHR & LHR-SNG-ADL)on 'britishairways.com' which contained two legs on BA aircraft and 2 legs on Qantas. At the time of...
