    Qantas and Zip + DSC

    Morning all, Bit of an issue. Was booking flights last night in time for end of DSC deadline. Booked the bulk of them with my CC with no problems, and they all showed up in the QF app as confirmed bookings. However, for my final booking, I used Zip Pay. On the Zip app it's telling me that...

    When they're bad, they're infuriating

    In my personal experience, QF have been pretty good to me over the years. On THU for example, security at MEL locked my carry on, despite me telling him not to as I didn't know the combo. He had to rummage thru my stuff for some reason. Customer Service bloke inside QP ran the bag over to intl...

    Question, according to Qantas, they say that Complimentary Lounge invitations may take up to 14 days to show up in your account . Is this realistic? What are your experiences regarding amt of time taken to receive lounge invites that are in your QFF account ready to link to a booking? TIA

    Powerbanks & chargers

    G'day. Just wondering, I'm aware aware that the limit for lithium ion powerbanks being carried onboard an aircraft in Australia is ~28,000 mAh at >140W. If I bring my 25000 mAh100W powerbank, plus a 20,000 mAh 45W bank, but I ensure that the latter is fully depleted, is that acceptable...

    Gold, Gold, Gone.

    Well, it was a good ride while it lasted, however, sadly, today is my last day of QFF Gold. I was travelling (relatively) frequently from 2018 - March 2020, then shot off as soon as all the politicians decided that we could open up. So, I guess you could say I flew whilst 80pc of folks were...

    Unable to redeem $50 and strange charges from Qantas

    Good Evening all. I have two queries here. Firstly, I found out about AJ's apology, status extension & $50 credit whilst sitting on a Qantas 738. On Monday morning, I thought I would try and claim it as I was checking my QF point balance. It should be so bloody easy to claim, but it isn't...

    Option 1 or 2?

    Hi All, Returned safely from the USA, and stuck on 590 SC for my year ending 31 July. I never received 50 SC for an AA flight from LAX-BOS that I missed because Qantas got in too late into LAX for me to board that flight (baggage made it, but I didn't.) As a result, AA put me on 2 JetBlue...
