    Free ALL Gold Status for QF Silver or above - also Points Club Plus

    Like a number of others, my status has updated to Gold today and expires next month on 31/10/22, aligned with my Accor Plus expiry. I’m not planning on renewing, so I wonder what hoops I will need to go through to get this pushed out to at least get 12 months of Gold?

    Free ALL Gold Status for QF Silver or above - also Points Club Plus

    Did you call them or use the web form? I spoke to them a few days ago on another matter and asked at the same time about this offer and the response was, don’t worry this will be completed soon.

    Qantas Frequent Flyer Survey... suspicious timing

    Survey came through this afternoon. I'm somewhat cynical at the timing, however have made the most of the opportunity to let QF know how I feel, which had they asked the questions prior to the enhancements, they would have the same feedback from me, albeit with a more conciliatory tone. I...

    Qantas accelerates 787 deliveries

    May have something to do with JL pulling capacity off this route or pulling out altogether.

    Qantas accelerates 787 deliveries

    On what basis do you make this comment? As the JQ 332's will replace QF 763's then surely (depending on which routes these aircraft will ply) QF will want these configured in either their international or domestic configuration?

    Cracks Found During 767 Pylon Inspection

    At least 4 of these are not affected. VH-OGS/GT/GU/GV were built after Boeing implemented a design change. A kit was made available as a retrofit for older aircraft and one would hope QF installed them. Of over 900 x 767's globally, approx 200 have not had the kit fitted.

    The Westin Macau.

    We enjoyed our stay there. Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Macau casinos to kick back and relax, yet not too far if you want to enjoy the new Macau offerings. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Make sure you go to Fernandos at Hac Sa beach, a 10 minute walk down the beach...

    Cpap in theQantas A380 first class

    Hi Wayne I was in the second cabin in business on the upper deck of the 380 and was moved to the first row in the front J cabin. The power outlet is located in the bulkhead in front of 11J/11K. Not sure if the A/B seats in this row also have "mains" power. I cannot attest to the comfort of...

    Cpap in theQantas A380 first class

    I fly in J every 4 to 6 weeks on long haul, mostly with QF and CX with half of them being overnight flights and have used my CPAP on 332, 333, 380, 747 and 777's (includes BA, NZ and 9W) in the laptop outlets without issue. That was until my recent return from LAX with QF on a 380 when 3 hours...

    priority tagged baggage

    Arriving in BNE last week with 2 bags tagged 'Business' we waited until 80% of the baggage from the flight came off before 'Business' and 'Priority' bags came through, some 25 minutes after landing. On our return to SYD, our 'Business' tagged bags were in the first 4 on the carousel and only...

    Continental / Air New Zealand to Codeshare

    One would suspect that there would be more direct flights from LAX and SFO to the CO hubs and some other destinations, rather than hubbing with UA and US to get to these locations. Of more importance is the inbound traffic NZ will pickup from CO passengers, plus some outbound to HKG to connect...

    Linking bookings and seat selection

    Perhaps they were load balancing the aircraft and you were unfortunate to have been chosen for the weight redistribution exercise? Too many people in one area affects the aircraft trim for take off.

    How much better is Qantas Platinum than Gold?

    If a WP books online are these "extra" Classic Award seats available or do you have to go through the call centre?

    Future of Qantas

    Well lucky you. I have in the past 3 years been in the 2.5K to 3K range for SC's (for which Mrs kiwial is thankful) and likewise no YUP's. Almost all has been at the more expensive end of the bus, however no op-up's for me on 3 class aircraft nor on the couple of Y trips I have made on QF- no...
