This is upon departing Australia, not entering.

I'm not sure, but I've always wondered why Australia is so interested in my other nationality and getting my other passport details in their database. The other country does not care at all and never asks to see my Australian passport (well check-in staff do look at it to confirm I don't need a...

My DSC also posted within a day or 2, so if you haven't got them after 2 weeks I would maybe contact the QFF email? Are you sure you're not excluded if you're based in London? Most QFF promos have T&Cs that say for AU/NZ residents only. When I was living in the US I kept my QFF address as a...

It's still a US federal requirement, the order doesn't expire until 2026. https://www.cdc.gov/port-health/legal-authorities/order-collect-contact-info.html https://www.cdc.gov/port-health/media/pdfs/Passenger-notification-acknowledgement-P.pdf

I didn't get that either, but the 10 status credits have posted today, about 4 days later.

Mine still haven't posted and we did it 3 days ago... I'm regretting not taking a screenshot of it saying I'd won them

Yep I think that's right, I won 10 status credits (though they still haven't posted...) and my partner just got the standard Singapore trip prize draw entry.

No offer to retain Platinum by paying for it with points? (does QF still do this?)

It's annoying, but the UK's just playing catch up. Australia has been charging Brits (and others) $20 for an ETA for over a decade.

Last time when checking in to leave Australia, QF asked me do you also have an Australian passport. I said yes, then they asked to see it. The agent then made a phone call to Border Force to “report” that I had 2 passports and “link” them in the system? I’ve not had this happen anywhere else...

Any idea where to see what you’ve earned since then. Doubt I’m anywhere close, but curious.

I just hope this doesn’t give Qantas any ideas for spend based status credits and 50% requirement!

Thankyou that sounds simple enough, just do it the old fashion way (before online check ins existed!). My main concern is trouble at MAD about the connecting flight to Australia. But it sounds like they’ll just not give me the 2nd boarding pass and tell me to get it in DFW at one of the...

I'm a dual US & Australian citizen, currently living in Spain. I've got an upcoming flight on 1 PNR which is MAD-DFW-MEL (it was cheaper than flying via Asia or the Middle East) I can only enter 1 passport into the booking APIS. If I add my US passport details, it expects an ETA on my US...

The new "Choice" plans don't provide you with that choice. It's $5/day or no roaming. The app says to turn off roaming you'll need to turn on Airplane Mode before you leave Australia and keep it that way until you return. It is also a direct debit, they take the $5 straight out of your bank...

Are you paying with direct debit? I got told they are first moving all the people who paid their bill manually, because the new plans do not have that option and are direct debit only (so the change also forces everyone on to direct debit auto payments).

If you need to receive calls (or send texts), you'll need to pay extra for roaming. The Optus plans with this included in your monthly plan were the best option but they are being removed from the market. $5 per day is good for short trips, infrequent travel, or people who will need to use...

I asked via the in-app chat. The agent said no and then tried to sell me a different plan. If you try to signup on the website it prevents you from continuing if you select existing Optus postpaid customer and keeping your number. I think you could easily port to prepaid and then port back in...

Pretty good deal for people like me who don't really use a lot of data while travelling overseas. 5GB would easily cover unless I went somewhere that had no wifi. I actually tried to change my Optus plan to their $79 month plan with 5GB/month roaming data and they refused (new customers only)...
