Thanks for this! Mr Carambola used your referral code to sign up, so hopefully there's something coming your way. ☺️ It's been a bit of a hectic start to 2022 so we're looking forward to some new whisky to try. One of our friends recently introduced us to Ralfy and his seemingly bottomless...

Ah well. Will hope for magic at the gate then. Thanks for checking.

Would a kind soul mind helping me check this again, please? It's now less than 4 days out so I've got my fingers crossed.

Thank you! Am stuck in a middle seat at the moment and can't select any non-middle seats, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello, I'd appreciate it if someone could check QF16 LAX-BNE on 15 Nov 2019 please. I'm an SG booked on W and hoping to upgrade to J, but I also realise it's a Friday night flight. Thanks in advance.

I guess I'm confused because I'm not looking at the Eligible travel class section of the page, which refers to JQ passengers. I'm looking specifically at the table for the Qantas members > QF International Business Lounges, where the "Gold QFF" row and "Jetstar+ " column intersect. Based on...

The lack of alliance membership is the main reason I stopped maintaining gold on VA and moved to QF. For my international travel patterns, VA and its partners just didn't offer the choice, flexibility and long-term reliability (i.e. risk of a partnership going kaboom as with AirNZ) I wanted...

Thanks for the tip! I tried that and had a really quick turnaround - and like you, my seat allocations now show up on my Qantas manage booking page.

Useful to know, thank you!

Actually, that was the part that confused me. When I look at the "Qantas International Business Lounge" table, the Jetstar column has a "+" symbol. The corresponding footnote states: + Jetstar refers to Jetstar Airlines (JQ), Jetstar Asia (3K), Jetstar Japan (GK) and Jetstar Pacific (BL). Must...

Hello, I was hoping to get advice on a couple of things: 1. If I'm QF Gold and flying HKG-SIN on Jetstar Asia, would I have access to the QF business lounge in HKG? 2. If yes, does anyone know when the bag drop opens? The website shows 2h prior to the flight. I have a 14:25 flight so assuming...

Thanks mrssterryn and justinbrett. It's the first time we've been lucky enough to score one - so good to know!

Dmitri, how did the flight go? Was it on one of the older A330-200s with the 2-2-2 configuration, or the newer A330 with the 1-2-1 herringbone? And if it was the older plane, do you happen to remember whether there were power points for the seats? (Trying to work out the IFE plan...) Sorry, I...

Hello! This is the first time I've experienced a potential op-up it's probably a bit of a rookie question - Mr Carambola recently got a complimentary upgrade to J on a QF flight to Asia. We found out the evening before the flight, when he checked in and the boarding pass showed a business class...

I agree that it's important to know the company culture. At my current workplace, it's quite normal to have open discussions about FF status because many people FIFO for client projects. Status isn't seen as a sign of personal wealth but as something earned through long periods of FIFO work -...

The event planning and logistics are impressive as always! Unfortunately, Mr Carambola and I won't be able to make it - we'll already be in Adelaide twice in the near future (thanks to positioning flights for DSC runs), and can't quite justify a third trip. Hope everyone has a great time and...

My husband and I sailed from Ushuaia on Quark's Ocean Diamond (189 passenger cap) a few years back. Their logistics arrangements were top notch: we generally had 2x 2h excursions daily, and during each one, the passengers would rotate through 1h on-shore and 1h of zodiac cruising to keep within...

I don't get excited about our domestic lounges per se, but I appreciate them and miss them when I end up flying with an airline where I don't have status. On the other hand, I very much do get excited about some of the international lounges. In fact, I still arrive early for my CX flights so I...

Thanks @Storyteller! Look forward to meeting you too.

Any suggestions on an "elevator pitch" to convince the hubby to go to the FTU event? :rolleyes: I've already got commitments that weekend, but he doesn't (yet). Mr Carambola is an ex-travel agent who specialised in RTW fares, but those were generally all revenue bookings. I tend to be the...
