    Fake status - buying QF bag tags online

    I fly in and out of CNS fortnightly. Just a few weeks ago they told me they 'don't have the scanners' for the Q tags :/ Imma put my tags on eBay now!

    What is the attraction of lounges?

    I fly every 10 days. I've been into a lounge twice in the past 12 months. They hold no attraction for me. Lounge access after flights would be more useful for me.

    Change seats after OLCI with VA?

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but a search of the forum gives me no joy. I've only recently started flying domestically regularly with VA, previously most of my flying has been with QF. I have a flight tomorrow, which I checked in for yesterday. Today I decided to change seats...

    QF vrs VA - Short Haul Domestic Business

    I'll be the odd one out. I fly BNE-CNS every week or two. I much prefer QF J to VA. To the extent that I only slightly care if I am Y or J with VA. I guess it's all about priorities. Lounges - I rarely use. I only take carry on, and I rock up to the airport as close to boarding time as...

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    I shared a lift with Vicki Wilson at BNE last week. But I'm quite sure 99% of AFF members won't know who that is

    How many flights do you take each year?

    Approximately 70. Nearly all BNE-CNS or CNS-BNE.

    Why is a Self Funded Flight Different?

    This thread has been a bit of an eye opener for a newbie like me. I suppose I'm 'self funded'. I live in BNE and my partner lives in CNS. So I make the round trip every ten days or so. I can't even comprehend that my situation would make me anymore 'elite' than someone who travels a...

    Made any travel mistakes lately?

    I've had two. One sucked and one was mortifying. I'm sure you will be able to work out which was which for yourself. I booked a flight from BNE to CNS. Arrived at BNE and discovered I'd actually booked CNS to BNE. I fell asleep (I always sleep on planes, even short haul), and woke up...

    How to not look like it's my first time on an international J flight in 10 yrs...

    For me, it's obvious I fly cattle class way too often because I take my own blanket

    QFF Membership year

    Ah yes. I was thinking because I get priority boarding flying J that I would when I get to SG. Bummer. Fortunately most of the good people at CNS gate know me and wave me through priority anyway, but it's BNE that I hate queuing for. Since I hit silver, I'm 1 from 2 for upgrades. So see how I...

    QFF Membership year

    Definitely no ego here, I don't even use the lounges when I have access. I wait at the gate like the pleb I am . I just like to be as comfortable as possible and not wait in queues if I don't have to. I did book a few trips in the double SC offer, but I booked them for my new membership year...

    QFF Membership year

    Thank you both for your replies :) Harvy, when you say QP and PS will give most of the same benefits, can you elaborate further? It's not actually lounge access that is the biggest benefit of gold for me (or the golden card ), as I wouldn't really use it on short haul flights. I'm more...

    QFF Membership year

    Thanks Matt :) I prepurchased a few flights in the double SC offer, but I booked them for my new membership year. I didn't want to risk wasting them if I didn't make it this year. I can't really justify paying for J when I make the trip so often, but what you say makes sense. I might sit...

    QFF Membership year

    Hello :) I have what is probably a very basic question. I suspect I know the answer already, but want to confirm. I fly every ten days CNS-BNE return. So while I am a FF, I usually take the lowest QF fare I can get (and use points to upgrade where possible), so I accrue SC's very slowly...
