Well back again if only briefly. After four months without work (including weeks spent prepping the house for sale and an overseas vacation) - today I started my new job at [insert company here]! Great on some levels (income is good) but the downside for me (on some levels) is there is zero...

Just in case anyone was wondering since being made redundant I don't think I have ever been as busy - mostly with jobs around the house. With a distinct lack of travel there hasn't been much to share either. I will be back at some point. Cheers and happy travels. S

Hi all Just mulling on something that has been on my mind for a while now and I have not been able to find a neat solution to a challenge I am having. In my current (and soon to be ex) role as [insert role] I work across a multinational corporation with a primary focus on the local...

Hi all I am progressively fuelling my obsession with credit card sized gadgets and devices and was wondering what other people use/have and whether they are travel related. I am always on the lookout for small things that can be used when travelling. I have had an eye on the Swiss Army Card...

Hi all I am finally going to be doing a JQ35 run in a couple of weeks. Back story is that my job relocated to Melbourne and I elected not to go so am being made redundant. I have been going to MEL weekly for most of the past year and my last trip in the current job is in a couple of weeks...

Hi Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with their QF activity statement. I have logged in on different computers and when I get to the activity statement I get no detail - just the title "Period x to y". I have used Safari on an iMac and Firefox portable on a PC laptop (so...

Just got into HOTP and my welcome card advised that Brett Christ has now taken over as GM. For those that don't know he was GM at HSW.

Hi all Hopefully an easy one. I am just trying to put together a budget for a new mortgage based on our current mortgage, some upcoming permanent cost savings, various interest rates and loan sizes. What I want to do is have a formula that looks for the max repayment I think we can afford...

Hi all Just prompted by dfcatch's rookie mistake (leaving his passport at home) I was reminded that boygr will have about six months remaining on both his UK and Oz passports and was wondering if there are any minimum requirements for entry into the EU and Oz for citizens of those respective...

Back at HOTP - $195 rate. Two bottles of water and standard upgrade to relaxation suite. Card signed by the business manager who I liaised with to agree the rate. In a bit of shock as I am on the non-MCG side of the hotel. I have never been on that side of the hotel :shock: everything is...

Hi Just wondering if the how old is everybody thread has been closed or deleted? It is showing in the various sections (playground, today's posts, new posts) but clicking on the link takes you to an invalid thread warning...

HI all Just wondering if we are expecting to see EK bookings on our bookings page on the QF website? I booked my first flight on EK this morning, my QFF number is in the booking and status is being recognised (3rd row of whY and 50KGs of luggage for me). Just wondering if it should show up...

Hi all Currently sat on the delayed QF409 to MEL and have now seen Pia Miller's intro to Q streaming a few times. I just noticed that the instructions do not require the QF iPads to be shut down for landing. The instructions very clearly say "when you have finished with Q streaming just...

Hi all Just a quick one - if flying SYD-MEL-LHR on QF from the DOM terminal in SYD is there an international connections check in desk still? I haven't done this for a while and have a trip coming up. Cheers S

From hubris to awesome So awilcockson mentioned in the P1 special benefits thread that he got a ticket to the [-]Thursday[/-] Friday at the Grand Prix courtesy of QF. My response was of course “Hey isn’t that great!” but a whiney “hmph I didn’t get anything”. The response to that was not the...

Hi all Just checking something - QF do NOT give out PJs in J that are suitable for kids - and by kids I mean 4 - 5 year olds. I wouldn't have noticed before but am assuming no PJs. We are coming up with a plan to convert an adult's set to kid's size...

Hi all markis10 provided the link below in Berlin's thread to address their questions. Given the level of detail in the link below I thought this deserved its own thread. http://www.qantas.com.au/agents/dyn/qf/policies/QF_EK_FAQs_Tradev5.pdf There are some interesting tid-bits in there: A...

Hi all Due to the generosity of bossreggie I have an absolutley awesome ticket to race day at the F1 in Melbourne next week to give away. The ticket comprises seats in the Fangio Grandstand and access to the Fangio lounge hosted by Qantas. The hitch is how to decide to whom to give the...

Was hoping to use points to upgrade to J tonight as I just saw it has dreamtime seats (MEL-SYD) but based on the fare bucket availability I am guessing that is unlikely: J3 C0 D0 I0 U0 Y3 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 G0 E0 I don't think I have seen such low availability on a domestic flight :shock...
