Ok, so Qantas has dropped its double status credit promotion for 2024. I need 130 status credits before end April to make gold. Best I have been able to work out is Saturday departure CNS - PER (via MEL) $424 - 35 status credits x2 (70) return for $437 (via BNE) - 35 status credits x2 (70)...

Mission: Use some Qantas frequent flyer points to take the family on the A380 in business class. Difficulty Level: Extreme With the A380 not flying domestic, this meant a more expensive international jaunt and a bit of planning. So just under a year out, I started checking for availability and...

I went to Iceland for a week in 2020, just before covid shut down the world. Like most people going to Iceland, I hoped to see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately due to 3 North Atlantic storms rolling through, pretty much on the back of each other, the weather prevented any chance at the lights...

Have you ever travelled solo before? There are plenty that have. Plenty that enjoy it and plenty that find it a bit lonely. Was just wondering if there is scope for a dedicated forum for upcoming proposed trips where company is welcome, kind of like the lounge meet ups. Meeting up with a like...

Well I read in today's AFF Gazette that FlightTracker is ceasing from the end of this month. I'm a little disappointed because I like that feature, but progress is progress right? and besides, it's outside my sphere of control, so I must just learn to live with it. The good news is there are 2...

So with Covid-19, my flying, just like most of us, has basically been grounded. Most of my flights were work related and work seems to have adopted MS Teams as a near permanent replacement to flying. I'm trying to be creative to get enough status credits to maintain my current tier, obviously...

My review is posted in the General Discussion thread, so thought I better link it into the trip reports thread. UK & Iceland Trip Report

With the impending obsolescence of airplanes with 4 engines, I find it amusing that airlines and the community at large still hugely identify with airplanes in this configuration. Just take all the airplane icons you see. Some examples: This one from the 'smiles' drop down - ✈ Some others...

Have booked a QFF business award ticket from Cairns to London via Brisbane. Cairns to Brisbane is Qantas them Emirates thereafter. 1) Will Qantas provide boarding passes through to London when I check in at Cairns or will I have to check in with Emirates at Brisbane International? This goes for...

I was contacted by some friends recently saying they were going to UK in February and they had already booked their tickets using FF points in business class. I was asked if I wanted to come. Let me think about that for a second....ummm...yes. So straight on to Qantas website to see if I too...

Sadly NO!!!!! I had to go to Townsville and Mackay for a business trip this week. Townsville, although on the small side, met my expectation of what should be available in the Qantas Lounge (simply things like toilets for instance, but also showers, an actual bar with choices in spirits, wine...

I'm in planning mode for my next holiday (contemplating Cape Town to see the great whites). I have 900K QFF points. I prefer to use my points for business class fares, I don't see economy as a good use of points as the taxes etc cost almost the same as just buying the economy ticket. Just doing...

On a recent flight on a QF 737, I noticed that 4F was available for seat selection. This never happens for me due to lack of status. Normally, I just feel lucky if the overwing exit rows are available, which they also were on this flight, but I thought I never sit in row 4, it is my duty to...

It was recently pointed out to me by a colleague that 9A on a Boeing 737 does not have a window, but 9F on the opposite side does. I'm not sure if this is the case for all Boeing 737's, but on a recent flight I checked it out myself as I walked past to the back of the plane, and yes, it was the...

So I have a Qantas flight booked from CNS to BNE return for 28/07/16 (return 29/07/16). I received an email from Qantas with my "Exclusive Invitation to the Qantas Club" Treat yourself before take off Make your upcoming flight even more enjoyable with this exclusive offer to purchase Qantas...

Travelling BNE to ATH via DXB on 18/05/2016 in cattle class (no lounge membership) I have a 5 hour layover in DXB from 5am - 10am. No point leaving the airport. So 5 hours in Terminal 3. I've done some research and discovered that you can pay to go into the Marhaba Lounge. Unfortunately their...

I am travelling to Athens on QF8435 & QF8105 (Emirates) via Brisbane on 24th May 2016 and returning Madrid to Cairns on 7th June 2016 QF8144 & QF2 (8th). Unfortunately I am in economy and the system says there are no points upgrades available (will check periodically to see if that changes), so...

RBA is seriously considering stopping credit cards from offering reward points. This could come into effect in May 2016. OMFG, this is bad news. I'll never be in the pointy end again. Help stop the RBA here - www.dontpassthebuck.com.au

I try and fly Qantas in Australia where ever possible because I find I get a better experience and I'm collecting QF points more than VA. But sometimes due to ridiculous prices or better timings I will fly the other carriers, with a preference for Virgin over Jetstar. I haven't yet flown Tiger...

I've left clicked and right clicked and searched the forum to no email. Am I doing something wrong?
