    I got comped to retain gold (due to expire end-Oct) after only earning 345 status credits in 12 months, and no current travel plans with Qantas :D

    Bizzare QF website

    but I do like the funny numbers it keeps churning out as (presumably) error codes

    Jetconnect 737

    Does anyone have any recent experience with the Jetconnect SYD-WLG service? Particularly, what is the quality of the business class offering and is it worth upgrading from Y?

    Seating Preferences

    Definitely forward window for me, both domestic and international. There is always going to be some view somewhere along the way, and I'm not fussed about climbing over my neighbours. However, I often seem to get an overwing seat, which kind of destroys the point!

    FFP's FOR GOVERNMENT STAFF

    Most likely to be booked on an AA/QF flight under the QF number (which covers most of the likely destinations in the US), so I suppose wouldn't earn miles? I did however get miles credited when flying SQ, but perhaps best not to say that in public!

    FFP's FOR GOVERNMENT STAFF

    As far as Commonwealth Govt public servants are concerned, it is on a department-by-department basis. For my Department, all travel is booked through the specified travel agent (QBT), and no FF points are accrued (however SCs are). Used to be (only a couple of years ago) that FF points were...
