My year with Qantas ends March 31 and I presently have 1130 SC's. Qantas kindly comped me, but didn't need to as I was going to take one more flight in March anyway, which would have qualified me again. I've been platinum for 4 years now, and have never been comped as I've maintained status...

Hi all, Hubby and I have a DONE4 coming up in March. I've booked us to fly CX MEL-HKG-CDG but there's also an option to fly QF MEL-SIN-LHR-CDG. Obviously with an added leg there is more status credits to be had on the QF option, but since we've both requalified for Platinum anyway that's not...

I know many on this forum book their RTW tickets with American Airlines. I usually book with Qantas in J and go for upgrades to F. However, with the dollar the way it is, I wondered if I should book with AA this time. It's a really simple schedule: MARCH 2010 MEL / CDG / LHR / YYZ / LAX / AUS /...

I'm not sure if the rules have changed, but I upgraded from my paid DONE4 J flight to an F class on the SYD/LHR sector. When I checked my points today, the flight was acknowledged but with no points. It was my understanding from previous upgrades that you still get your SC's and Points for your...

I've already booked a holiday this Christmas in England - flying Qantas J Class (one paid and two on points). We've decided to take two short side trips to Berlin and Barcelona. My question dear forumers, is should we a) book direct on the BA website b) call Qantas and try add the trips onto...

Is anyone here a major fan of the show? I've always wondered if regular travellers watch it. I'm totally addicted to it myself.

I have two kittens coming down from Brisbane via a standard domestic flight to Melbourne. Does anyone know if I would pick them up via a special freight area, or would it just be the special baggage area inside the terminal?

Hawkeye, I noticed you had a Qantas codeshare train in September in Germany. Was wondering how this worked and what sort of trip it was? I'm doing some train travel there next year

I'm halfway through my Qantas year and I've requalified for Platinum so I'm thinking there's a good chance I'll get the partner Gold again. My question is this: my partner will reach Gold in his own right this year, does that mean I just get nothing instead?

What's the best way to book a Oneworld DONE4 ex Jakarta - which airline do I call? Thanks in anticipation

We want to take one of these combinations (DONE3>DONE5) as a holiday, to cities beginning with the letter B. Crazy I know - but it DOES ensure we visit cities we might not have otherwise discovered. Anyway.... Here's my problem. Usually, we try take these trips with me paying for my flight...

Hi all, I'm planning another RTW trip, but having read the advice on this board I'll leave ex: Japan via a DONE3 and save significant $$. A couple of questions I hope you can help with a) Any truth to rumours that this flight will go up in price significantly soon? b) Are there 16...

I've just tried booking a flight from LGA-ATL via the aa site, but it seems there's no way to register a QFF number - only an AA number. Does anyone know of another online booking alternative? I'm registered with Qantas Business Plus and tried booking there, but strangely it only shows Delta...

DONE4 – April 2008 Our 2-week break to Tokyo, London, Venice, Rome, New York We both travel a lot for work, but rarely do we take a holiday. One 10-day break and one 4-day break in 10 years, so this is pretty exciting for us. Other than Italy, I’ve been to the other places many times, but...

I've booked 2 x DONE4 in the last 12 months. The first was work related with 16 sectors (quite a few added as a SC run) in May 07. The next one is a genuine 16 day holiday starting this Saturday and therefore just 8 sectors. Anyway, both of these were booked via Qantas and I paid over $11K...

I'm a platinum and hubby is a gold QFF. We're travelling business class MEL/SYD/NRT on Saturday. We normally fly direct internationally out of Melbourne. On this occassion, the MEL/SYD is a standard domestic flight so we'll transfer to the Sydney international terminal on arrival. With only...

Hi guys, I've read through a few posts about this as I look after a group of 4 guys in a band who have been recording all year and not flying anywhere. This is all about to change as they start touring again. Last year they earnt about 1000 SC's and maintained Gold and this year it's...

Here we go with my first ever trip report. Thanks to the people on this forum, I decided to change what would have been a MEL/SYD/PER/NRT/LHR/JFK/LAX/MEL flight to include a whole bunch of completely unnecessary flights to get extra SC’s towards partner gold. I could have taken 3 more flights...

If you transfer points from Amex to Priority Club, does that count towards the points/stays you need to get platinum status, or do all points have to come from hotel spends to qualify?

I never take much notice of which planes I'm flying on, so I wanted to ask which is better in J Class: 737-800 or 747-300?
