A 2016 post indicated that all was well, but have subsequent 'improvements' to Qantas' FF scheme introduced any new qualifications to retaining lifetime status? Since recently retiring from the workforce after 50 years, the final decade being at WP, I have been quite content to drop back to LTG...

Can anyone advise approximate current costs of business class OneWorld Circle Pacific fares out of Australia? I know they come at three price levels, depending on mileage, and I will probably be looking at the 26,000 mile option. My wife and I plan to fly to Japan for a cruise, she on award...

Big trip starting this coming weekend, firstly BNE-SYD-HKG on QF flights in J as the final two sectors of a OW Circle Pacific fare started in HKG 12 months ago, ticketed by CX, from which I have been on an 11 month stopover in my home port. Six hrs after landing in HKG I start a new OW OWE J...

I am still unclear on QFF SC earning under the new T&C. I would really welcome a second opinion on what SC I could expect to earn from the following DONE4 itinerary - and third and fourth opinions too, of course! I have included my 'reading' of the new earn rates (totaling 1600) as a target for...

Trying to plan/book a DONE4 itinerary out of HKG using the oneworld web tool but flights I want to use aren't being offered - It won't offer me QF flights SIN-DXB or DXB-LHR,e.g. QF8433. I realise these are codeshared Emirates flights but they have a QF number so why not visible there? If I...

Mrs Emkay and I will be flying out of LHR on QF2 at 2130hrs this Friday night, in J. But arriving there on a non-OW airline at 1230hrs that day. Would like to head into town for the afternoon, but what to do with the luggage? Will the J seats or my WP status enable us to check it in that early...

I would appreciate some advice on access to the BA Arrivals lounge at T5 at LHR. My wife will be arriving at T5 from HKG (on a QFF J award flt) on BA026 at 4:50AM 27/5 and I will be arriving from Chicago (on a DONE4) on BA294 at 6:40AM, and she'd like to wait for me in the BA arrivals lounge...

Yesterday I started a DONE4 itinerary taking me to a professionally-related 3 day conference in Seattle next week, so here's the start of a report. I initially considered buying a simple J class return ticket (BNE-LAX-SEA-LAX-BNE) but the Qantas price was about $16K, which I considered...

Hi all I am sitting in an airline lounge and expect to be doing a bit of this over the coming fortnight, so thought I'd try to share my trip experiences with you. I am two flights into a 22 flight 2 week rtw itinerary that promises to prove yet again, according to Mrs Emkay, that there's no...

Haven't been able to check in on-line any time today for QF798 BNE to CNS tomorrow (Monday) 7:05AM. Is this a general issue today, or does this portend badly for my flight?

Wonder if anyone can tell me what I might have done to get a better outcome on a recent jaunt? In July 08 I bought from Qantas a oneworld Circle Asia & SW Pacific ticket in business class for May 09 travel BNE-SYD-NRT-AOM-NRT-PKG-HKG-BNE, for myself. At the same time I tried to get my wife...

On my activity statement, all the Qantas and Jetstar Jetflex flights have a ~ symbol against the status credits. The footnote says ~ Eligible flight (Qantas, QantasLink or Jetstar segment) counted towards status attain/retain. But the flights on other OneWorld...

Can you please comment on my interpretation of QF/OW Lounge Access rules? I am QFF Silver and QC member. I have bought a lowest price (26,000 mi) economy GLOB fare from Qantas with itinerary thus: CNS-BNE-SIN-BAH-ATH-MAD-ORD-SLC-LAX-BNE-CNS Metal is QF, Gulf Air (SIN-ATH), IB (ATH-ORD), AA, QF...

OK, I have followed the recent thread on SC earn on LAN. How about with Air Niugini? There is no mention of SC earning for Air Niugini in the Table. Would I then be correct in assuming that I would earn no SCs if I have an Air Niugini ticket showing a PX flight number, but I would earn SCs if I...

A Thai Airlines employee recently told me about stress levels amongst her fellow cabin attendants caused by the volume and vehemence of customer complaints at the small size of economy seating in their 777s. She agrees that there really are grounds for complaint. Apparently it's not just pitch -...

I just joined AAdvantage hoping I could build a balance by transferring Amex Membership Rewards points, but AA doesn't appear on the Amex au website list of partners to be transferred to. I have a fee-free (if spending more than their min annual spend) Amex Gold credit card. My only other card...

The August edition of Frequent Flyer Gazette reported on a German court ruling in favour of a company that claimed ownership of points accrued by it's employees when flying on company tickets. The hope was expressed that Oz companies do not follow suit - horrors. Well, I work for an Oz State...
