Do you remember how long before the end of Dec the app showed your extended status? I'm based overseas, but my account was still listed with my old Aussie address when they sent the offer out. So I have both booked the flight as requested by them, and I changed my address on my Qantas account...

Thanks so much for the work on the podcast, it’s super great to listen to! Wondering if there’s any news on the Overcast/Pocketcasts issue? I can’t add the podcast to overcast either by searching or with the apple podcast URL (which usually works). In the meantime I’ll keep using the apple...

This is awesome. Especially as someone based outside of Australia this is great. I did previously have my address set to inside Australia, so I just changed it to where I live now. Hopefully that’ll qualify me for the extension. Has anyone got an email yet like was sent out in the last round...

Wow. Simply excellent

Having just got off QF20 overnight from MNL on VH-EBR, I can say I will try to avoid doing red eye’s in the A330 Y from now on. Wasn’t comfortable by any stretch of the imagination (and I had a window seat so I could lean against the bulkhead)

Sorry for the delayed response, and thanks so much for the info everyone :). Unfortunately I’m getting a 503 error “Error: Service unavailable” when trying to visit ITA matrix now, so I think they might be down at the moment. Either way, I think it must have been using the fare SLSH1O, based...

Reading through the thread for the previous HKG crawl in 2016, I note that there was commentary about CX dumping The Peninsula in favour of Plaza Premium to run the HKG lounges. The only constant is change :)

I did the exact same thing a day after you. Kind of regretting that I may never get to see this lounge, but agree on the Dan Dan noodles, they were great!

I’m keen for this. Will hopefully be WP by June, but worst case will be SG. Now just waiting for another HKG sale…

Hi all, Hoping a travel agent or someone with experience with fare rules can help me out. I’m looking at the fare rules here for a flight to Hong Kong, which is currently priced based on PER QF xSIN CX HKG. I’m wondering whether I can tag on a flight from Sydney at the start without being...

One situation in which I can see them having fixed this is someone high up at QF cottoned on and sent a terse email along the line of “Fix this” to an underling. Rational prioritisation of IT issues goes out the door when a senior manager gets involved.

Can’t wait to hear the outcome!

But if I purchased a voucher today and was ready to use it in say September this year, couldn't I book any date that was already loaded into the GDS? So I could book a flight well outside the "Promotional period". In addition, there's already a term in the T&C's saying that the flights must...

Looking for 230 status credits as well, based out of Sydney. Thinking of booking economy SYD-CHC, and then business CHC-MEL-SYD which should get me past the 270SC for around 1k. Looking at doing the SYD-CHC leg on the Emirates flight even though there's no DSC. I want to experience that flight...

If it helps, I used an iPhone app called Sudo to call qantas while I was in Hong Kong. It gives you a US number, and free calls to Australian numbers. I called +61 131 313 and it worked fine. It just goes over the internet so I used my hotel’s wifi. Was perfect for when I needed to be on...

Haven't been able to get them to waive the seat selection charge on discount economy before. But as mentioned above, seat selection is free at the time of online check in. Haven't had an issue before getting three seats together. I'm sure 5 would be fine. Just make sure to check in as soon as...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Out of interest, did you have to request the compensation or did they proactively offer it?

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Great point, I hadn't even thought of that. Is it true that you aren't able to buy that flight as a revenue ticket without connecting with a flight to/from Australia, but you can book it standalone as an award flight? Off...

Agreed. I have flown EY's 787 which is 3-3-3, and it was just so much less comfortable than their A380. I hope that in the long term QF buys some 777-X or A350-1000 aircraft for their long haul routes, and uses the 787's on medium haul.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Welcome :). I'm new myself but have read most of this thread. Other people will probably be able to provide more insight, but in relation to question 1, I believe that once you have booked the first section of your award...
