As I said Lendav I get the complimentary lounge pass upon attaining silver membership about 1-2 years ago. I thought a part of Gold status is free entry into lounges...or is that platinum?

Yes, twice. One time in Sydney domestic Qantas lounge because I forgot my free pass that was given upon Silver membership and asked if there was anything possible they could do etc etc. Second time was Qantas Singapore lounge, I used the same story as above, except the above was the truth...

I booked a Jetstar sale flight Melbourne - Singapore (JQ007 economy) departing on the 14th Feb (which I am taking). The flight returns to Melbourne on the 22nd of Feb (JQ008 business departing @ 8PM) I've recently decided to stay longer in Asia already booking a new return flight for a later...

Do you think there's a efficient way to utilise my points if I purchase an economy ticket in order to get an upgraded flight with JetStar? Or possibly purchasing a Qantas flight, which is hundreds more expensive for a return Economy but I can upgrade it easily to first. I just don't know how...

To recap what type of fares can you upgrade with points? I know you can't with sale fares, award flights as well?

Woah didn't get to the payment part to see that. Damn it. (Obviously they are somehow) But I don't see how award flights are ever good value when they charge such high taxes.

Actually maybe that's not the best option. I was searching through Qantas and found award flights for my exact dates on Jetstar for 96k points RETURN Business. Then I saw the if I change just the return I can get the First Class on Emirates Boeing 777 for a total of 138k points. Meaning...

Adding the +bundle ($55 each*) to both return Economy tickets ends up at $671 for me NOT including the extra baggage fee. Add $70 for 20kg checked baggage return. = $741 which is then more expensive than my plan to do the bellow. Comparing that to my intended decision to book one way Economy...

I just rang Jetstar and they said their take a friend for free sale has ended. But she wasn't very confident because at the start she thought it was on. Anyway I'm trying to stack the cheap sale fare to Singapore in Feb 2016 with this buy one get one free does anyone know if I could do that?

Matt thank you for coming through again with a great response. You've personally helped me out a lot over time, really appreciate it! There's a free travel hacking course I've been watching and learning from for 6 weeks now, check it out I think you and a lot of people here could get a lot of...

So jetstar have some crazy discount sales on at the moment. I have some question I'm sure many could take value from. I want to distinguish whether these are really good prices and if its worth purchasing them spontaneously now, OR am I just getting too excited and they're really not that great...

Here's the article and bellow is are some quotes I pulled from it. "Qantas is the brand new addition this week. [talking about Citibank partner addition] At first brush it would seem like that would be great for travel to Australia. Except that they have one of the worst award charts in the...

I was reading up on some travel hacking blogs and I keep reading comments about Qantas like "they have one of the worst award charts in the world at least for premium cabin long haul travel." With that being said what do you guys think of that statement? Granted it is from an a American's...

That's an great suggestion thank you. How early do you suggest, 2 hours? 3?

How do you follow the availability? Just online search or is it best to call Qantas for grabbing classic award seats?

So your saying there's no chance I can get a upgrade opportunity because it's a sale fare?

That's really good to hear but when do you ask for the upgrade? For example my flight is unable to be upgraded yet through the Q site. Did you wait til checking in to ask?

Is there somewhere that explains purchasing business class bundles on the Jetstar site? I couldn't see anything but just want to be aware of how the Jetstar bundle differs from a regular Jetstar business.

Not sure if this is the perfect place to post this but 'the world's largest live streaming education website' company called Creative Live just started a free course called 'Make Your Dream Trip A Reality' It's about travel hacking and getting the most out of your trip for planning, preparing...

God damn it. I've spent many phone calls to try and get Optus Rewards connected to my QFF and finally did it last week...and now they're partnership is ending.
