Hi All, My Platinum status has reverted to Gold as I haven't flown since Jan 2020. All my flying was international so I have little hope of resuming travel until next year 😬. I'm sure many are in similar situation. Got me thinking - is anyone still Platinum? Maybe if coming off Platinum One...

About to hit the US with the following situation and after some expert advice: QF WP status, Economy flights MEL-SFO-SAN MEL-SFO is QF, SFO-SAN is UA, different PNRs but same e-ticket I know I have to collect luggage and re-check in SFO Question is: What will my luggage allowance be on UA...

Have done this trip multiple times in Y on A380 but considering B787 for an upcoming trip with flexible flight times. Most important consideration would be comfort but happy to hear anyone's opinions. Thanks

Greetings All, My status credits expire at the end of this month. I am 55 SCs short of retaining SG, but have 50 bonus credits I can use to get to 595 SCs, still 5 short of the required 600 SCs. QF is offering me the option of buying SG for 80,000 points (regardless of whether I finish 5 or 55...

Hi All, Scheduled arrival from ATL at 19:10 for QF8 scheduled departure at 20:00. Qantas website suggesting it is OK but is it too risky? Mike

Hi QFFers, Flying tomorrow morning MEL-OOL and just wondering if the increased security measures are really affecting check in as much as reported. Will be checking in golf clubs but otherwise hand luggage. Do I really need to get there 2 hours prior? Any experiences/feedback from recent DOM...

Just wondering if the recent increase in points required to upgrade might affect your inclination to use this option. Personally, I think the upgrades are still pretty good value and my only entry into the J cabin so I'm happy to spend 90k on LAX-MEL and 50k on SIN-MEL. Hoping others think...

Hi All, planning business trip MEL to Ho Chi Minh City in a few weeks (flying Y class though :( ). Best options seem to be direct MEL-SGN QF337 (Vietnam airways) or via SIN (QF35 and 3Kxx_). Need SCs to ensure retain Gold by April. From what I can see, Vietnam Air isn't a OneWorld airline so...

Greetings All, questions on behalf of a US friend regarding the availability/points cost of United/Star Alliance RTW fares. Also, do they have the equivalent of Circle Pacific fares like QF/OW? Thanks, Mike

Just returned from LAX on QF94. Had requested upgrade from Yflex to J using points and had been anxiously checking for success during final 48 hours leading up to flight. No joy T-6, but did the usual request for pity at check-in only to be told the flight was very full and there were no...

Hi All, Flying MEL - LAX late Oct (Sun 25th) and now have choice of QF93 (A380) or QF95 (B747). Have gone QF93 in past but just wondering about QF95. Particularly any comments on quality of aircraft and chance of upgrade using points from Y to J or even PE. Thanks, Mike
