    AA miles for Qantas upgrades?

    More competition for "upgrades".... https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/AmericanAirlines Needs more analysis but I'm sure the AFF collective can do a better job than me. First thoughts are "how the hell is this going to affect lower status QFF members"? Is this the first incarnation of...

    Question re: interlining.

    Booked MEL-KUL J on MH, KUL-DXB-FCO F on EK. All on QF points, all one e-ticket. I’m assuming that I’ll get an MH BP at MEL and then need to collect luggage and check in at a transit desk to get an EK BP as MH at MEL won’t check me all the way through. I’m also assuming I won’t need to go...

    My Greek Odyssey

    So the big day has finally rolled around after a series of QF/QR stuff-ups (back story here). My partner and I are heading to Greece for a few weeks followed by a few days in Dubai. We've been together for 15 years and both love travelling but it's the first time either of us have visited...

    I've been QF'd and QR'd again and again. <whinge/rant>

    So, short story long... I have a terminal illness and not long left on this planet. My plan was to burn over 1M FF points and see my family dotted around said planet before the inevitable happens. I wanted to do all long haul flights in J or F where possible. My first attempt was a simple OWA...

    FJ/QF codeshare - rewards booking question

    Hi. I read on Point Hacks today a review of Fiji Airways Business Class booked on a Qantas classic reward. In the article the author (Brandon) mentions that he was able to use the First Class lounge as the FJ flight from SYD was coded as a QF flight, which sounds good to me, so I looked at...

    Booked on QF2282 tomorrow. Originally scheduled as a 737, then changed to a 717, now a Dash8. Received a text this morning at 8:05. Within a minute I followed the link to see options. Page tells me there are no options.. The next bookable QF flight is over 6 hours later and is an extra $450...

    Qatar leasing Cathay 777W's with First class

    Was looking at PER-DOH-ZRH as a QFF redemption in May 2022 and the DOH-ZRH leg offered first class on a 777W. I'd never seen that before. QR 777's don't have first class AFAIK. Seems QR have leased 4 x 777W's from CX with F? Not a bad way to get to Europe.

    Classic rewards points discrepancy?

    Looking at rewards flights MEL - GLT and am a bit confused by the points cost: Why is the second option below 20k/46k + $106, whilst the other options (which seem correct for Zone 2) are only 12k/27.6k points + $135 ? There are two differences. A) the BNE-GLT flight is the next day and B) it...

    HBA luggage options

    Quick question for the lateral thinkers here: I am attending the first three days of the Hobart Test and I have no idea what to do with my luggage on Day 3. My QF flight is at 19:40 on Day 3. I'm staying in central Hobart, on a yacht, checking out the morning of Day 3. Leaving bags back in town...
