G'day all Does anyone know of any rough J reward seat availability (EK or QF, understanding QR is slim to none) coming back from Europe to SYD/MEL/BNE in February or March next year? I've run a few searches on Award Nexus but I'm burning through my points - hoping someone can help narrow the...

Evening all. This is quite exciting as my girlfriend and I are finally booking a holiday to Europe after speaking about it for years. Neither of us have done long haul travel, neither of us have even been overseas (apart from across the ditch). So, bought tickets tonight on QF1 next April, and...

Adagold-managed flights who have the contract with Defence.

This is also a good question for dispatchers/flight planners. Aeroplanes fly along routes which are basically a set of highways in the sky. When airlines flight plan they must do so to have the aircraft following this fixed-route network - for example one cannot flight plan from Melbourne to...

Bringing this one back up, has anybody heard anything more on the commencement of these flights? Supposedly these are starting in February 2018 but there's been no news for a few months now. Hoping to book flights to Europe in the next month or so, given Singapore Airlines are around $500...

G'day jb747, What do you drive mate? Username suggests the Queen but mentioning KLAX leans toward A380. EDIT: Don't mind me, forgot Qantas still operate the 747 to KLAX ex YBBN.

Got this letter today, made my day (Platinum card). Only yesterday was I on the phone with Westpac discussing their Altitude Black and considering switching due to the 1.5 earn rate. I couldn't see if we still get 3 points per dollar at restaurants though?

Just checked, ATIS reports wind 170/8 - straight down runway 17. As OzFire said, aeroplanes will always take off and land into the wind so the runway in use is a no brainer. By way of comparison, Sydney at the moment is operating on 16L and 16R and reporting wind 210/15-25 - so there is...

To add to OzFire's response,I believe both Melbourne (RWY 16) and Sydney (RWY 16L & 16R) have been predominately on Southerly ops over the past few days.

Hi Guvner, That is excellent, thanks very much. Have a great evening. Joe.

Sure, but not a mistake in my case as I hadn't heard of AFF at the time I applied for the card.

Thanks all. Unfortunately that offer varies slightly from the one I signed up to. I was not aware of that referral link, so the bonus for me should be 100,000 points after spending $1500 in three months, not 110,000 points.

Took advantage of this offer and received my card about a week or so ago. While on online chat with Amex customer support, they casually mentioned my 50k points bonus - I tried to correct them, however it has to go through as an investigation. She asked if I had any evidence I received from Amex...

Thanks all. I didn't mean to accuse anyone, I meant to say that in my head the messages I quoted were contradictory, instead I just misunderstood :) . Seems crystal clear now and I appreciate the quick and helpful responses. So using the Using Points Calculator tool on the QF website one would...

I'm confused at this. I am also a newbie to all of this, and when I started a thread on the subject - a member replied with: Am I missing something or are the first two messages contrary to the third? The more I read on all of this, the murkier it becomes. Here is essentially would I would...

I worked for them for five years, and while I have never paid for a ticket with them, will give my two cents if you're interested. They are an extremely professional outfit with very high standards of the service they provide and what they expect from staff. While I was there I worked in of the...

Thanks everybody for the kind and warm welcome.

Thank you everybody for taking the time to respond! Not a great amount of other/domestic flights planned before our trip, certainly not enough to lift me above Bronze. So essentially from what I gather is that I would have to pay extra (Y class basically, when I'd normally book red e-deal or...

G'day all, I am brand new to this frequent flyer/points world, after getting encouraged into it by a mate. I have learnt some things from him but he isn't an expert either, hoping to have some things sorted out here! Essentially I signed up to the QF FF program for one reason: to try and get...

Morning all, Stopping by here in an effort to learn more about how this frequent flyer world works, already seen some great tips and seems like a good bunch here. Have some more specific queries which I'll post in another thread. Cheers Joe
