    HKG lounge crawl 9 June 2024 (the annual Asian lounge crawl)

    Bronze for me. Based in HKG, but the 10th is a public holiday here (Dragon Boat Festival), so had booked a trip a while back. But you never know, plans can change so will keep track.

    Survey re Premium/Standard Qantas Club Proposal

    The big difference is the benefits only apply when flying QF (or AA if no change there). It can't be used when flying any oneworld airline.

    CGK Airport - LAG Check on Boarding to Oz

    Agreed, haven't experienced it in HKG for years, including last week. It's clearly a complete waste of time and money (where it does happen), but no one's incentivised to remove it on the off chance something bad happens afterwards. The check was also never very thorough anyway, it would have...

    Aust int travel incoming to Aust

    I assume the paper with your photo printed on it is to allow the people at customs to 1) verify it's the person it's meant to be 2) see if they've been tagged for inspection. It does mean you don't have to hand over your passport at the same time, as they should be able to use the printed photo...

    QF642 PER to SYD "...not eligible to request and upgrade..."

    Is it possible your flight hasn't been ticketed yet? Have you been charged for it?

    Lounge Access on Arrival as QF Elite?

    I'm pretty sure there is passport control back to the Schengen area from the non-Schengen departures area at HEL, from (recentish) memory. After all, some flights will dump you straight into the departures level (depending on whether it needs screening or not). However, I'd suggest it's not a...

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

    Indeed, but just noting that some people claim they hadn't met the conditions but still received the gift. It doesn't seem to be universal though.

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

    No email or sign of the offer in my (updated) app here. Haven't flown on a QF flight in the relevant period. Did have a couple of (SC earning) 3K flights though. Plenty of OW partner flights in that period (earned the SC for requalifying WP easily, but only 3/4 flights - would have been given it...

    Help pleaseAnyone else having trouble getting through to Qantas today

    Have you tried contacting the number they provide for Italy? Might have the same issue, but worth a shot. From: https://www.qantas.com/it/en/support/contact-us.html

    I don't know the answer to most Qantas "security" questions!

    I had that message pop up earlier this year. The fix was ultimately to remove all my contact details and add them back in. It was preventing me registering for the DSC offer at the time.

    New TRS rules? Goods no longer included in cap?

    I know someone who was recently told TRS wasn't available for Australians (and hence the Tourist in TRS). Required getting the supervisor over to have the person processing the claim told that was wrong (pretty unbelievable, and says a lot about ABF that they could have been sitting there doing...

    Malaysia Digital Arrival Card - Register to Use Autogates

    Interesting that you had success with this @serfty. I tried this in April - I did the MDAC before flying, and asked at the usual manual immigration counter if they could register me. But the officer wasn't interested in dealing with it (can't remember if he said he couldn't, or just fobbed me...

    Qantas to Introduce Group Boarding and Bag Tracking

    What a great move to have non-priority group numbers look like seat numbers! 🤦‍♂️

    Why the difference in choosing a seat?

    This is what I see as a WP at the moment: vs ExpertFlyer So it's not just the straight status level affecting the seat choice. Ok, who knows, the 5 available seats as a WP was only because the account wasn't logged in. Curious what the reason is for @NamarrgonFlyer seeing two different (but...

    Why the difference in choosing a seat?

    Presumably you're being scored differently despite having the same status level. Looking at the seat map on expertflyer, it seems you're being restricted from selecting a seat next to anyone, while your SO has access to those seats, as well as rows 21 and beyond. If you want to sit together, you...

    Is toothpaste a LAG?

    I've found toothpaste tabs/tablets a nice alternative to toothpaste. They become like toothpaste once you chew on them. I also travel with a solid deodorant in my carry-on. Now I don't have to bother taking any LAGs out at security.

    Qantas app and website login broken?

    I've been having the same issue with the Android app (trips don't show), for a number of months. There was a period of a few weeks recently where it worked, after an update. But then there was an update about a week ago after which it broke again. It's quite annoying, as it was a nice way to...

    Points / status crediting from oneworld and Qantas - issues?

    If you have boarding passes, the best thing is to just email frequent_flyer at qantas.com and include the flight details and boarding pass scan/screenshot. I had one flight missing from an AU-SIN-HEL-LHR trip, and despite being knocked back twice using the online form, once I emailed, it was...

    Article: Europe Doesn’t Recognise Australian Vaccination Certificates

    I notice the TAP website claims Portugal now accepts Australian certificates: Alerts and informations But would be nice if the visitportugal website listed that. Perhaps it will be updated soon.

    [Cancelled] SIN lounge crawl 25 September 2021

    I've done this before without any issues. Checked in at T4, then went airside and took the bus over to T2 (now T3), and tried out the Qantas First Lounge. That said, there could be issues with turning up too early, as would be the case here. Having said all that, Cathay is currently operating...
