    Points Club Plus - Jetstar & Guest

    Confirming guest is allowed into the lounge, both flying JQ? Seems so, just not sure if any catches due to being free.

    Booking via 2 accounts

    We've got an AMEX card each. By the looks we'll need to signup to KrisFlyer each, and transfer points over. When we make the booking in each how will we know it's not trying to book the same seat? So only one will actually purchase and the other might get stuck without a flight.

    Availability for Awards (Using Amex MR to CX conversion)

    I've got 200,000 AMEX and my partner has 150,000. 4:3 conversion ratio. Looking at AsiaMiles for Australia -> Europe and can't find any availability around June, via any city. I switched to Qantas for hunting as it's interface is much better which shows 11th June Adelaide -> London via HKG...

    Brisbane Premium Lounge Entry - Use QP pass?

    There's a laundry list of people who are included in the "premium lounge entry" acceptance list. I wonder if a Qantas club invitation card would allow use of this entry? It's not on the list, however if you're going straight to the lounge, might be able to... depends on staff I guess. Has...

    Asia Miles & QF RTW Fares

    I'll soon have 190,000 Asia Miles & 280,000 Qantas Points. Seems the best use of AMEX points (300,000 @ 75%) would be to convert to Asia Miles, and then try and find availability for identical RTW fares, one for myself & one for my partner. Will be challenging, yes! However flexible with dates...

    Upgrade chance?

    I've got business class booked with points on Qantas (one leg domestic, one international). Miss's wanted to come later so booked a sale fare. What are the chances of getting her upgraded if there's available seats? Best to ask at check in, at the lounge, on the plane? Obviously no...

    Plan Review

    Oneworld Business Reward ticket. I'm unfamiliar with flying J (well, U - same difference) so have found some perks. Couldn't find full information on a few things: - Sydney, eGate for departure so express exit card not much value? Better to check in online and go straight to usual security +...

    Routing Question

    I can book Hervey Bay -> Manila via Qantas using points no worries that goes via Brisbane & Sydney. But paying cash, only offered via Brisbane and Hong Kong which takes a lot longer. Is there a reason why? Any tricks to getting the preferred route?

    Lounge Access (quick question)

    We've upgraded with points to business. We've got time to kill, by the sounds of it we can go anytime in advance to the lounge? The 2hr restriction is for members, one off passes etc. Pretty sure yes just want to check, it's a long wait at maccas if wrong! Thanks!

    Double checking figures

    Hervey Bay to Sydney $155 flight = 23900 points (lowest economy tier) No business available for any day to purchase directly or with points, despite being E90 and 737? Hard to believe the next months are booked solid... unless Virgin have some all economy planes I haven't seen before...

    Some Credit Card Questions!

    Should have signed up years ago :shock: Anyway I've done a lot of research and have a few questions, which I'm sure for people with more knowledge are quite simple :p AMEX. From my research any expense from PayPal will accrue points as normal. Is this correct? Which Visa or Mastercard would...
