I (WP) am currently at the gate in SYD for my flight to ADL which is boarding. I booked a U reward flight (J) via call centre with seats released about a fortnight ago. I had my email confirmation of J seats and yesterday I had another email also stating J. Now I open up my boarding pass on the...

Not a new complaint at the moment I'm sure but I'm having some issues booking a flight and wondered if anyone has any bright ideas. I'm currently booking a flight to the UK from Adelaide for 2-14 Jan. Despite being WP there are of course no classic reward seats available for release and since I...

A bit of a moan more than anything else. I recently bought a Flex Economy Return trip to Zagreb in Croatia, from Alice Springs, via LHR both ways, for the not inconsiderable sum of just over $3400 (H fare bucket, IIRC, at least for the QF segments). The LHR-ZAG both ways with BA. Towards the...

Flying on QF36 today (SIN-MEL) and coming in to land noticed what appeared to be smoke coming over the wing around where the near port side engine would be located: 2019-11-15 06.01.23.jpg It came and went seemingly related to the amount of thrust being applied, at least based on my subjective...

I took a flight ASP-BNE on Sunday and just before check-in was notified of changes to the flight. Got to the counter and they were able to tell me the flight was now going via AYQ due to the need to drop off an engineer to fix a stranded plane. Must've been an urgent job since he wouldn't have...

Hi all, I bought a voucher during a previous DSC offer around 18 months ago (before they changed the T&Cs to explicitly state the voucher must be redeemed during the offer period to earn DSCs) and redeemed it 6 months ago for a return business flight ASP-LHR which I have now completed. It's...

Hi there, I have a bit of a problem which feels like I am banging my head against a brick wall. My flight last Sunday from ASP-Gladstone via BNE on Qantas was cancelled at the airport and I was rebooked via DRW & BNE, with the DRW-BNE being a Jetstar redeye. Instead of an afternoon flight...

So I was looking at flights to Bangkok and noticed this oddity. The class of flight is Business Sale. Both flights are marketed with a QF flight number although one flight is operated by Emirates, which should make no difference. Therefore, I should be receiving 60SCs for ASP-SYD, and 120SCs...

Not essential but I will have a couple of one-off short-haul flights with a SkyTeam airline (KLM) in a month or so and it would be nice to have some status if easy to do. Does anyone have any recommendations for a SkyTeam airline that will status match my Qantas (Platinum)? Would need to be...

So about $2320.. Credit to secretflying. Such a shame it doesn't seem to be working in reverse. It must cost the airline exactly​ the same amount..

I'm not too fussy which airport in Aus I end up at since I need to connect to ASP anyway. I suppose ADL is usually marginally cheaper than the rest. Not all options are online which is why I'm asking, plus I'm currently a few points short to check fees etc on some J fares. I gather QF, EK & BA...

So I was researching some flight options to Europe via the Middle East and noticed that QR airways, e.g. from DOH-LHR, earns 15SCs for economy, 30 for Flex, and 30 for J, but 60 for F. This is out of keeping with the usual rule of economy =x, flex = 2x, J = 4x & F = 6F (and makes it a complete...

From March to Aug this year: - Sydney, Australia to Manila, Philippines for only $357 AUD roundtrip (& vice versa for $239 USD) Never heard of the airline (Cebu Pacific) but very cheap positioning flight, should be able to get to LHR return in J from MNL for ~$2000-2500 with various oneworld...

Just a quick comment on DeNA Travel who I used to buy a few tickets with this evening (via SkyScanner). Having read plenty of negative comments dating back a few years including a particularly worrying news article regarding them taking people's money without providing tickets I made the bold...

I've planned a nice route from Alice Springs to LHR return, most of which is flying business with MH (~$4100, 855 SCs). Due to some detours for cost & SC reasons I'll have a few stops of up to 12hrs or so in places including BKK, SIN, KUL & MNL. Firstly, am I likely to be able to check my...

Hi all, I may be in a position to get Qantas gold while abroad and could use an extra 15kg of baggage allowance for the return journey (with Malaysian airlines). Does anyone know if I will qualify for this as even though I will have the oneworld status I will not have the up to date Qantas card...

Hi guys, I'm currently flying a fair bit for work and will hit QF Gold in a few months time. Unfortunately due to starting this part way through the year, although I'm flying enough to just about get Platinum over a whole year, I won't actually hit it for almost another 18 months.. so was...
