I have been offered an upgrade from Business to First on AA - SYD to LAX for $775US. Is it worth it?? Also if I do, do I get the QF status for First (with AA) or remain at the Business earn rate? Any help or experience would be appreciated. Cheers,

I will be arriving on AA72 from SYD into LAX TBIT and then have a connecting AA flight out of T4 to SJC/ORD. I will have checked bags. After clearing custom and PP control, rechecking my bag, can I then use the QF First Lounge in TBIT? I am QF Plat. I have about 3.5 hours, and would prefer to...

As a QF Lifetime Gold, can I get my wife the Qantas Club Partner membership? The QF website is mainly directed to "paid" Qantas Club members paying the reduced rate for partners. Any thoughts or ideas?

I'm booking a car with Hertz and trying to boost my Virgin Atlantic points with the booking. Do have to put in the VS CDP to earn, or just nominate them as my preferred? On the website it lists two different CDP's but only for US or UK/European bookings. Any ideas? Cheers

I just checked my account and they have credited 350 SC for no reason that I can think of. I am Plat thanks to status match, but had enough to maintain gold. Not sure what has gone on, but something to due with a computer malfunction no doubt! 20 Jul 12 20 Jul 12 Promotion (VADJSCPLAT) 200 0...

Will be flying J class from Sydney to Hong Kong, then onto Amsterdam. Any tips for good seat selection on either, or both legs. SYD HKG CX 100 is an A330 and HKG AMS is a 747? Also which lounge in HKG is better for the transfer QF First, or the CX lounge(s)?

Was in the process of booking a J CX flight to AMS with points (through QF) and thought I'd better check if I was covered by insurance of my Amex Plat charge card when I was to pay the taxes. With all the recent charges I really wasn't sure what the coverage was like. Called Amex who put me...

Been trying since Friday to redeem points or a LHR-SYD flight with DJ (Etihad) and their system has been down since Friday. I've called twice and they really have no idea, about fixing he problem, or offer any alternatives to assist. Anyone else had problems, or can offer any advice? I'm a plat...

Now in BKK waiting for the JQ flight back to MEL. Been advised of a 5+ hour delay. Looked like the flight was delayed leaving MEL. Anyone any idea on reasons etc?

Looking at an award seat purchase with QF to Bali from Sydney return (using JQ). Taxes are $208.16 per person!! If I book and pay normal fare through the JQ website, it states the taxes are $98.16 per person. Any ideas on the reason for the extra tax $$ to redeem rather than purchase?

I am considering of taking up the offer of the AMEX Platinum Charge Card. Are the benefits really worth it? In particular the "2 for 1" business class flights etc. The airline doesn't really bother me (within reason) and will be traveling a bit in the next 12-24 months. Has anyone had any...

I have been aware for some time that the QP at CNS Domestic was to close to allow for the new club to open in December. On the QF website, it states, "Qantas is building a brand new Qantas club at Cairns Airport, due to open in early December 2009. Due to ongoing construction at the Cairns...

Has anyone been in PE on QF107/108? I have Row 30 in PE and it seems it MAY be a J style seat in PE. http://www.qantas.com.au/infodetail/flying/inTheAir/ourAircraft/744-14P66J40PY187Y.pdf

Anyone got any ideas on the best seats on the 747 to LAX/JFK? It seems that row 34 has the bulk head, but was wondering if there is enough room to still stretch out, as I know some make it a bit crowded. I'm about 191cm/6ft2. Currently in 35J and 35K (with wife), but MAY attempt to change. Any...

It appears that the Cairns Hilton's new restaurant, Hanuamn, will not honour the Premium Club discount of 20%. I haven't been informed by the HPC that it was excluded, and I'm wondering if anyone else may have experienced exclusions before or if this is just an anomaly as it is new. It comes...

Is any one aware of the cost to upgrade on departure to JQ*class to Tokyo from Cairns and if points and SC's are awarded? I asked at the CNS Int Airport yesterday and the JQ staff couldn't give a definitive answer but thought it was $250 pp and no points or credits. I also asked that as I have...

I'm off to the US/Europe and Asia later this year and want to use my phone, but not my Aust provider (avoiding large bills!!) I have a Nokia N73 which states that it has "Quadband EGSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 190 MHz". Not sure what this means, but will I be able to buy a prepaid cheapish SIM...

I am flying J class with AA from SFO to JFK and the flight does not leave until 22.30hrs. Any ideas on when I can check in our bags. I was hoping to leave them there about 10am as we will be driving up from Monterey and then on to the city, drop the rental car off and then have a day doing the...

Is anyone aware of the use of the VS Clubhouse in Sydney if I am flying Business Class to HKG from SYD? i.e. can I take guests, if a) they are flying VS economy, or 2) flying with another airline.

I will be taking an extended break next year fro 7 weeks with travel, through the states and then planning on 4 weeks in Italy, hopefully doing a house swap (we live in Cairns). Not sure on the best way to get info on this as "Googling" tends to be a very laborious way of getting specific...
