Hi All, Just wondering if any of you have connected from Mexican Airlines flight 910 (from Mexico City), which arrives at LAX at 19:50 for a flight back to Australia on QF94, which departs at 23:40. Is immigration/customs on flights from Mexico City to USA done on the Mexico side of the...

I'm about to go MEL-LRH on QF9 and have seat 38A (unless my points upgrade comes through). SeatGuru shows this seat as 'no window' but QF staff assure me it has a window. (When flying on 737's domestically, I find that staff advice on blocked window locations is not at all consistent.) Does...

I know there are a few threads that mention this trial - but I didn't see one that was dedicated to it. I've had two chances now to try the AEROMOBILE service - and encountered some problems - and made some observations. First observations - the 767 using the new pico cell has a the letters...

Hi All, I'm starting a Business Class Round World trip in June, but have used up all 6 sectors in the US, including one trans-continental flight. I now need to tack on a short visit to Washington on the way home, so will add a few days to my stay in LAX and book a return flight to IAD, as...

Just wondering if anybody has noticed that according to the Points Calculator, Ayers Rock is 1202 Miles from Melbourne and Alice Springs is 1156 Miles - yet the route map (and any other map) clearly shows that Alice Springs is further from Melbourne than Ayers Rock. Any ideas why? Cheers, Paul.

Do business class tickets for OneWorld "Round the World" bookings count as full business class when it comes to seat availability, or do they only get to choose from a limited pool of business class seats? Cheers, Paul.

Is anyone else having problems accessing qantas.com today? I usually login 2 or 3 times a day, but have had lots of trouble this weekend. When I enter qantas.com in my browser I currently get redirected to http://www.qantas.com.au/australia.html which it then says it can't find?? I have...

Just realised that I would have been better off booking an extra flight, rather than changing a flight, so thought I would share my observations with you. I had booked MEL-SYD-MEL, with a return flight at 3:30pm - with the return flight cost of $145. After arranging an extra meeting, I...

I'm about to do my first short (3 day) trip to US, and am looking for some tips from those who have done it many times before. I'm on QF93 out (dep 10:25 / arr 07:30) and QF 94 back (dep 23:40 / arr 07:55). Key requirement: Be productive in Melbourne immediately before flight and immediately...

On a fight over the Middle East some time back (July or Aug 1985), I looked out the window to see the flashing lights of a fighter plane, flying alongside (very close). To add to the awe (I was only 19), I saw lots of flashes on the ground in the distance, which I was told were explosions...

Hi All, Just spent over $3K on flexible economy tickets MEL-LAX for short visit, and found out that it costs 72,000 FF points to go on upgrade wait in each direction. Then I realized that if I really wanted to go J class, I should probably have spent 92,000 FF points per direction and only...

Hi, After being platinum for a few months I am still doing lots of MEL-SYD and MEL-CBR flights but noticed that I no longer have much window seat choice on a 767-300 flight. When I was Gold, I have quite a few choices at 5:15am on the QF400 to SYD, but now I usually only get one choice from 26K...

Hi All, A little while after I got off QF815 flight this afternoon, I heard an announcement that QF450 (I think) was cancelled as lightning hit the operating aircraft, which I understand was a SYD-MEL service (QF439??) and that the plane was no longer operational. Was anybody in this forum...

It is easy to know what ones SC earn will be on Qantas Domestic, but I am having trouble determining if a fare is FULL ECONOMY or DISCOUNT ECONOMY for internation travel. I have searched but not yet found answers to this question in this forum. My apologies (if answers are already posted) for...

Today was my first experience of leaving Melbourne to circle above Syd for an hour before returning to MEL. (With pushback 2 minutes early I was mentally ready for an early arrival!!) Called it quits and exited the flight as I had missed my onsite meetings for the day. At least I got SCs and a...

I am often quoting IT consulting type work inclusive of travel, so like to minimize the cost while maintaining flexability and picking flights home that suit my family life. I also need to be very responsive to my clients, so often don't know exactly what days I will travel. I have recently...

Apart from the obvious benefits of invitation only CL membership, I would like to know if all Platinum members treated the same (e.g. with seat allocation), of if there is some sort of 'seniority' (e.g. 3 years better than 1 year…) Also, if many Platinum FF do much more than 1200 or 1400 SCs...

I am new to Qantas FF and am 480SC away from Platinum and keen to get it so that I can (hopefully) buy full price economy tickets from CBR-MEL during busy times when flights are otherwise full. I am interested to know what percentage of FFs are Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum. Does any body...
