    Check Through bags - SYD-MEL-HND-LHR

    This is some great thinking. Thank you. Ours is 14kg and almost 2 years old. I’m sitting in the JAL Flounge HND after a long first leg where my J seat was slowly taken over by a 22 month old. I spent the last hour or so standing :). Here’s hoping the next leg is easier. I think I’d still...

    Check Through bags - SYD-MEL-HND-LHR

    Thank you for your feedback. This was really helpful. Now to ponder whether it would have been better to buy three tickets in economy as opposed to 2 in J with a 22 month old...... #longtrip :)

    Check Through bags - SYD-MEL-HND-LHR

    The HND-LHR is on the same booking. All of the tickets are part of a J Qantas Oneworld award, and luckily they have all been ticketed ;p

    Check Through bags - SYD-MEL-HND-LHR

    Thanks for you feeedback. Is this an HND thing - i.e. if we check in the bags in MEL, can we check them through to London from there? Or is this a strange HND thing? Qantas website suggests that this may be possible...

    Check Through bags - SYD-MEL-HND-LHR

    Hi knoweldge trust. I'm pretty sure the answer is no but wanted to see whether we can check in bags for a trip starting on Qantas domestic for SYD-MEL, then Qantas International from MEL-HND? We're wondering whether we will have to lug a car seat from the baggage reclaim in Mel domestic and...

    Earn up to 36000 QFF points using Superhero

    Thats fair. It's what... $50 in brokerage fees for 10,000 Qantas points. The rest of the points cost nothing. It's a great offer. All but option 3 are interesting. Option 3 i'm less sure about. The CHESS thing is low risk in the short term but still a risk. More of a faff might be the...

    Do Citi have a '12 month' rule?

    I'm curious about this one as well. I"m considering getting the card (closed it last about 12 months ago) and cannot find any reference to an exclusion period at all for QFF.

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    Resolution was that the CEO of Velocity responded to my email apologising, suggesting that it was a new promotion type. He said that they are working through some teething issues and undertake to improve things for future. Prior to that email, I received Gold - not sure whether it was through...

    Additional Benefit on Velocity Earning Cards: 40K Points, 6 Months Gold or $300 Travel Bank

    Update on my situation. I applied for Trial gold and took a Westpac Platinum card (75k points for 4k spend over 3 months). I met the criteria in month 1 and was credited the points on the 16th June. No upgrade to gold however. I sent two emails to red@velocityfrequentflyer and have called...

    I took out the Westpac platinum. Are you thinking about the Virgin card that required spend over 4 months? If so, I didn't have one of those.

    That's a fair comment. Also, in fairness to them, they may even make the service level they promise.

    Thoughts on Qantas recent flight cancellations

    I've started flying VA for domestic travel recently for two reasons. 1) Qantas has screwed me around significantly and taken about $1k of ticket value away from me due to a cancellation (Qantas Accused of Price Gouging) 2) I've spend hours on hold to their customer service team. I travel...
