    Experience with A380 Seat 16A

    I had 15K on QF2 a few months ago and did notice some slamming/thuds from the lav behind, might have been a slightly broken lav seat or some such causing extra commotion but definitely noticed it when trying to sleep. Otherwise a good seat tucked away back there

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Just a quick question regarding a phone redemption I just made. Have J Award confirmed with F Award wait-listed on SQ866. What is the general consensus on confirming/ticketing? Was going to confirm but thought if the F was confirmed from wait-list would that then be cancelled and second payment...

    Qf 787 PE seat choice

    Confirm bulkhead is the go, the footrest works on a sort of ratchet system so you have some options, I'm 6"3" and had a reasonably comfortable trip SYD-HKG, otherwise I'd be going Window and building a pillow next as the next best option, possibly last row to not worry about reclining early(not...

    Free Qantas lounge pass for 18-35yo travellers in QF Y (Book by 31/8/19, travel by 29/2/20)

    Pretty much this, late twenties is realistically when people will start travelling for work and start wanting to be more comfortable doing so or getting the funds to start caring more about how they travel personally. Planting the seed earlier to inspirational travelers will work, and...

    Qantas disguises first class seats as $20 ‘cabin in the clouds’ on Airbnb

    Believe the result only shows when there are live dates whereas the links from the user page can still be live with no bookable dates

    Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

    Thanks guys! would much rather have some breakfast bubbles in the lounge rather than run though the terminal so trying for an earlier flight seems like the plan :)

    Double Status Credits (book by 5/2/18, fly 12/2/18 to 20/1/19)

    I have an Easter weekend booked on the DSC origionally from Mel-BNE-HKG then HKG-SYD-MEL in PE to retain Gold next year, however due to the BNE-HKG leg moving to a 330 and loosing PE I've been moved to MEL-SYD-HKG where a PE seat is available. unfortunately it's the day before which isn't such a...

    Oversized check in luggage

    Have traveled with a bike bag int and dom with and without status for a decade or more now and never an issue, oversized is just counted as a standard bag unless over normal limits. You should be totally fine just watch the total weight

    QF lounge access for unaccompanied 17 yr old

    I seem to recall that due to the license starting at midday access was possible in the morning but that may have been speculation in a previous thread

    J/F flying - lounges and perks reviews

    Dennis is great! Even my girlfriend watches his video's, definitely the only flight review video's she would ever watch. How can you argue with classics like his BA J review! "the best seat for a solo business traveler, is on another airline"

    Loyalty bonus quandary, what do you do?

    This makes it much more interesting. Given my year ticks over July 31st it sounds like holding out until then and adding to next years SC might be the go (always a good feeling having some things booked in for the future.) had a dig through the loyalty bonus site and found this in the T&C's...

    Loyalty bonus quandary, what do you do?

    Good points! personally I'm a long way off LTG but would hope to have another 40 years of flying. Realistically lifetime status will come from continued business travel opportunities and an upgrade worth of points scrathches an itch now. Super interested in other people valuations of points Vs...

    Loyalty bonus quandary, what do you do?

    Not a big deal but I've just ticket over the first 500 SC and now have the choice between the 50sc and 8,000 points. I already have my Gold re-qual with booked travel but at the same time won't get to WP. I think I'll probably go for the 8,000 justifying it as most of a transcon J upgrade but...

    QANTAS luggage "tampering"

    I have to fly with camera equipment a fair bit and have taken to at least using cable ties ontop on the TSA locks. Mostly because I've had a number of TSA locks pop off when I'm pretty certain there was no tampering. The best way to go for Pelican style cases is i find, is a couple of wraps of...

    Double SC for all! (Book until midnight 6th Mar, Travel Mar 2017 - Feb 19, 2018)

    If nothing posts in a couple of weeks there is no harm in calling and asking if it's all OK (I did at about the 4 week mark and sorted out the problem) worst comes to worst they just say be patient

    Qantas Club v Silver Member

    PS I found was more so the OW benefits when travelling other airlines as has been said above. Your domestic experience at the airport and largely on the aircraft will be the same as a QP member (I was a PS and mixture of self funded and business funded QP member for a few years before Gold...
