    QFF Lifetime Gold versus Gold

    Thanks @BCons ! I forgot to mention that I only ever apply for upgrades for overseas (overnight) flights. These are usually always A330 routes so the number of Business seats is very limited and therefore very competitive for getting an Upgrade. Platinum with a Flex Economy fare has helped my...

    QFF Lifetime Gold versus Gold

    Thanks everyone for their replies and information! Well, that has popped my happiness bubble about reaching LTG...☹️... there I was foolishly thinking that Qantas would give slightly more "priority" or benefit to a LTG than a "just currently" Gold with regard to Upgrades as reward for years of...

    QFF Lifetime Gold versus Gold

    Hi everyone. I did do a search in the forum but couldn't find an an answer specifically re the membership benefit differences between Lifetime Gold and Gold. My main question is whether a LTG member will be higher in the pecking / priority order for Upgrade Requests over a Gold? (assuming...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I just submitted it. Frustratingly, the on-line form only gives you 3 categories to pick from re the Contact Centre complaints - Attitude, Incorrect Information and Wait Times. My problem was none of these. No option for "Technical", or "Other" even. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

    Pathetic Amex Plat phone and webchat

    Hi all, Just to give a heads up about a recent poor AMEX Travel experience / "gotcha" with using them for flight bookings. We were unable to contact AMEX Travel at all on a weekend recently for help with a change needed. We had booked using the annual $450 Travel Credit (as part of the AMEX...

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    Agree with @Ktan89 re 4 hours prior (based on our trip the US (DFW) 4 weeks ago - mid March 2022). We arrived 4 hours earlier but Qantas First / Business counter only had 2 people on at that point. Full staffing came in at the "3 hour prior" mark - but I don't know if that has changed now by...

    Using DSC TravelPasses for partial payment

    Hi everyone, I have some Qantas TravelPasses that were tied to a Double Status Credits offer.

Does any AFF member know how Qantas calculates the actual SCs I would get for...

    Where to get a pre-flight COVID-19 test?

    Hi all. We just successfully used a remote supervision company based in Australia via Zoom (rapidantigensupervision.com.au) for our return flight back to Australia from the USA. All went very well, they were very professional and they ensure you have received your test result paperwork before...

    Travelling with active Stage 4 Cancer

    Sorry to hear your health situation Maia. 😔. I have some health conditions that meant one large company would not cover me at all for. Not just the pre-existing, but they would not cover me at all for a USA trip. However NIB Travel Insurance have covered me for 2 trips, including my...
