    QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

    For my non Qantas/One World flights, I use priority pass for lounge access. Example, Jetstar at Sydney Domestic has no lounge. Priority Pass gives me access to Rex which is nearby the Jetstar gates.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Are they making you wait 8 weeks for a refund. Last week, QF cancelled my flight to NZ next March as border entry had changed. Upon calling to get a refund instead of flight credit, I was informed it would take 8 weeks as refunds are being processed manually.

    IATA Covid-19 digital travel pass

    I tested the app a few months back using the Etihad code. I couldn’t get the app to scan the chip in my Aussie passport. It read my other passport just fine. A possible shortfall in the app is you can only scan one passport. Also going to look at the app now & apparently no use for a couple of...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I appreciate the current DSC offer from Qantas is a great opportunity but remember there are other ways of getting your points. I had already booked my trip to NZ in 2 weeks before this offer was made. For less than the price of one way economy flex on QF SYD-ZQN $788 (40 SCs), I picked up...

    Question about Qantas loyalty bonus....

    As others here have already stated, I only just learned today that my double status credits don't count towards my loyalty bonus. I am currently sitting on 560 points & don't get the additional 50 to retain Gold as apparently 160 of those were through promotion, meaning I only have 400...

    Are free upgrades a thing of the past?

    I am 1.9 m tall & used to routinely get upgrades until the introduction of premium economy. Certainly when flying American Airlines domestically in the USA, I have received upgrades based on my frequent flyer status. But to say they lose money on an upgrade is rubbish. They have cabin staff...

    Qantas Award Charges Outrageous

    Just read the article about carrier charges on Classic Rewards booing amounting to more than the cost of a standard flight. I will admit that I used to redeem points for flights until my brother pointed out that a more efficient use of my points was to pay for the flight and upgrade.

    What is the attraction of lounges?

    For several years I have been a paid QC member, though currently Gold/Sapphire courtesy of an international First Class flight a year ago. Friends have often queried the value. It's a peace of mind thing. Knowing I'll have a seat, access to power/workstation or food & drink without having to...
