Ok, I am fairly incompetent when it comes to award schemes. I am looking at using Star alliance carriers vice the One World system and I have been looking at the Kris Flyer. I want to do regular flights between Melbourne and Vancouver. I cannot seem to find any available flights on the Kris...

Has anyone ever noticed that it is cheaper to book flights from the Canadian or American Qantas site than it is to book from the Australian site? I found flights to be around $500 cheaper return to Vancouver all year round. Only problem is on the international sites I cannot book a return flight...

Hi, I'm curious what is the best way to get to Canada without flying through the USA? I can't see Qantas doing anything like that and I'm not familiar with some other carriers that might be worth flying. Does anybody do this regularly or could point me to where I can find some more concise...

Qantas delays flights after airspace closure | The Courier-Mail When this happens to Qantas provide food or prewarning to passengers affected? Seems to be happening alot lately and I'm sure more will follow in the future.

Hi guys, I was having a chat with a few people at work today and we were wondering if new international awards seats become available closer to departure date? This is probably more applicable to business class but still valid for economy. Do more business class seats open up closer to...

I'm travelling to the USA and was curious how many people here apply for a visa before hand or participate in the visa waiver program. I'm keen on the latter but unsure how difficult the process may be. I'll have to get a new passport with a microchip in it, but would that be better than paying...

I booked an award flight for May this year and no points have been deducted from my account as yet. It shows under my bookings but nothing else has changed. Is this seat actually confirmed or will I only find out within 24hrs of my departure like a business class upgrade? If it is confirmed how...

Hi, I normally fly with Qantas everywhere I go and are a member of QFF and QC. I am planning a trip to SFO in June and was looking up the tickets. I planned to use points to upgrade my ticket to business class but it seems that there is slim to no chance of that happening due to my FF status...

HI, Im flying ML-SFO in June this year and I'm about to book my ticket. I loathe to fly long distance economy but for the cost I can put up with it. However I was deciding whether to book a business class ticket on points and spend 192 000 and pay the taxes or buy an economy ticket and use...

Hi, I have alot of Yen I want to exchange for AUD. I bought it back from Japan with the intention of returning but that will not be happening any time soon. DOes anyone know the nest place to exchange currency when it comes to fees/commissions? I know the exchange rate will screw me but I...

I remember reading about priority baggage been removed from one of the QC features but I couldn't find reference to it anywhere. But I suspect it doesn't actually mean anything even if it is still a feature. Twice in the last month I have flown BN - MEL and on both occasion on the MEL end it has...

Hi, It's been a while since I have posted however I'd like to pick the brains of the wealth of knowledge available here. I'm planning a holiday to the US nexy year and was considering using my points for the flight. Originally I wanted to fly business class but the award seats are few and far...

I am returning to Melbourne from Japan next week and was curious as to what would be played on the flight. I looked up Melbourne - Tokyo November in economy and was surprised to find that World Trade Centre was the second movie on the list.... Now the blurb doesn't match the movie but the...

Does anyone know how the system works on discount award flights? ie when the specials are on. I want to go to japan and it seems that they have 20% off points reguarly but they are not on atm. I want to book my tickets to get it all confirmed, however I can travel on any date and there are...

Hi guys, I lack the knowledge that some of you possess when it comes to FF points and what they can get you. But is it possible to use QFF points on One world partner airlines? If so how do I go about this? I thought maybe it was possible to use them but only if the flight is codeshare and...

I hope this topic fits in here, but its all about Qantas so here goes..... I'm not a frequent international flyer so I really have no clue about this. I flew Melbourne - Syd - Tokyo in June on a B743 it had the little screens with all sorts of things I could choose to watch, there is only so...

Hi I am new to this place so be nice :) I have booked return tickets Melbourne - Tokyo leaving on June 9 and I have noticed my seat allocation is on the Qantas site. I have been allocated Seats 26a/25k. Im guessing thats 26a Mel/Tokyo and 25k Tokyo/Mel. The Flights are QF180 and QF179...
