    Qantas New Partner - BP

    I filled-up at a local BP a few days ago and also bought a shop item. When I presented my QFF card the BP reader was not able to scan it for some reason. I asked them to manually enter the number, but was told there was no way to do that! I have since sent a "contact us" message to BP via...

    Status run - waste of money [if work pays for J travel]?

    It really depends what you want status for. Personally, Gold is fine as it gets me early access to classic award points bookings for long haul flights in J, and that's what is really valuable to me. i have done domestic status runs to get me over the top for Gold, because that made perfect...

    IHG Hotels that recognise status

    Crowne Plaza Zurich recognised my Platinum status and upgraded my room from King to Junior King Suite. Welcome amenity was a selection of superior chocolates.

    Qantas Red Planet

    It was Campbell’s stock... the package design didn’t work for you then!?!

    IHG Hotels that recognise status

    The Holiday Inn Pyramides in Madrid recognised my Platinum status and as I was already booked into the highest level of room, offered something or other in the bar area, or 500 points. I took the points. The welcome amenity was a couple of superior quality chocolates. BTW, there is a Metro...

    JFK-BOS cut?

    You FWIW, AA just rescheduled my direct JFK-ORD flight in April to over 4 hours later, and seems to now only be operating one direct flight per day on this route. Since I am locked into separate travel arrangements to JFK, this means I have even more time to burn at JFK.

    Emirates to axe chauffeur drive on award tickets

    I've never used CD before and when booked I didn't specify any particular time.... just left it at the Emirate default 3 hours prior to departure. We are on a 6am flight from SYD next Sunday, so 3 hours prior to departure is an excessive time, and a ~3:30am pickup ( about ~35 mins to the...

    EK 415 Check-in 2019

    That is pretty much the timing I am going to go with. By the time we've dropped our bags, been through border security and hiked to the southern gate area, the Emirates Lounge should be open.

    FWIW, according to the Sydney Airport web site, customs opens for departures passenger processing at 0400 hrs..... Sydney Airport opening hours

    Why I am ditching QF F/J longhaul, despite loving it.

    If you are happier in PE, then fly PE, it’s as simple as that. I’ve flown Sydney to Santiago and return several times in J and not had any issues s all with the cabin crews.

    Points Count [How many do you have?]

    I got up to about 800K QFF points and decided to see what I could do with them for travel in about a years time, to get to a couple of events I wanted to attend, one in Spain and another in the US. It took a bit of work but I managed to book J (5 sectors) and F (5 sectors) to take my wife and...

    Qantas Premier Money Card - on line application!!!!!!!

    This one worked for me: QANTAS Money GPO Box 3811 Sydney, NSW, 2001

    My first flight in FIRST by QANTAS was such a let-down, it certainly won't happen again!

    We did the same sector on Jan 8 and had a great F experience, with no problems at all. My wife fell a little ill during the flight and the QF staff were very attentive and looked after her very, very well, both on the aircraft and air-side at SYD. It seems to me that OP just went out their way...

    EK 415 Check-in 2019

    We are on EK 415, in F, in a few weeks time. I had a look through the reports on checking-in and accessing the lounge prior to the 0600 hrs departure, but they are all getting a bit old. So, what the 2019 drill? Emirates says be at the airport 3 hours before departure but is there anything...

    Qantas Premier Titanium card

    Prepared to be surprised then. You need to be on a lot more than that in many professional roles before you get J, let alone F.

    QF 127 from December 1

    We took advantage of the same deal for QF 128 on Jan 7th. Its worth it just for the F bed arrangements...... everything else is serendipitous benefit!

    Govt cracks down on airport TRS rebates for Aust travellers

    The C. P. A. P. thread

    I'm using a Medistrom Pilot 24 with my AirMini and it works very well. Having a battery pack that makes you independent of aircraft power maximises your seating options, and many airline will simply not allow you to plug an xPAP device into the on-board power under any circumstances. The FAA...

    How many people actually fly F in their lives?

    I've had 3 long haul F sectors out of about ~97 long haul sectors in total. SYD-LAX, SYD-AUH, AUH-SYD.

    Westpac Black Altitude Bonus points.

    Once I actually have the points in my QFF account, I do intend to have another discussion with Westpac customer experience about the breach of terms.
