    Your Qantas year in review (2025)

    I wonder how many points is Top 1% points warner? I earned 700K points and used 1.1M points. Majority of my flying is with Cathay Pacific so regrettably only 4 flights with Qantas, a pair of domestic and a pair of international, but maintained Platinum.

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    Why should they regret? They even unable to launch BKK-MEL using Qantas A330. I think Qantas should codeshare with Finnair to maintain Qantas SC earn to compensate.

    Finnair to launch Melbourne-Helsinki flights

    I hope Qantas will codeshare with Finnair on BKK-MEL sector, also for Finnair to codeshare with BA from BKK-LGW. This will open up MEL-BKK-LON, and also allow Jetstar to discontinue MEL-BKK. <redacted duplicate>

    SYD T1 chaos

    Thanks. The only concern is I might have a troubled booking - direct to Changi then reward to KUL. My partner has 1 booking, mine is split into 2 bookings. Not sure how the baggage can be checked thru.

    SYD T1 chaos

    I am also worried about long queues at check in. Flying this weekend at midday on Qantas International. Am Platinum. Already seen footage from 9News about long queues at T2 and T3 today. And updates for T1?

    What makes you chasing airline status?

    As many are thinking of status runs and chasing higher status for various airlines, may I ask what is the main motive for achieving higher status? For me I am Platinum with Qantas, however I am not seeing Platinum as my ultermate prize, rather it is Lifetime Gold. As for myself who has families...

    May I ask is there going to be any special gifts from First Lounge as we are approaching peak Christmas travel season? I remembered last year there was special PJs available? I am leaving in a few days and wanted to see if I can score some special gift.

    Article: Airport Disease: Enter Airport, Exit Manners

    I would say next time grab the security woman's name and make a formal complaint. This is simply bullying customers and must not be tolerated. She should be immediately fired.

    Article: Airport Disease: Enter Airport, Exit Manners

    I think more likely is because airports are a stressful place, where there are long queues and faced with uncertainties with immigration and customs etc. I suppose fast processing at security is important and having all lanes opened during peak periods like right now is essential, and perhaps...

    Crazy Expensive Xmas Direct fares to Japan

    It is exactly because we have a cost-of-living crisis, that's why we need to go overseas to buy cheap goods and ship them back to Australia. Every semester, I had to purchase and ship 100kgs of luggage into Australia, to ensure I do zero non-critical retail in Australia due to excessive labour...

    Crazy Expensive Xmas Direct fares to Japan

    Why fly direct when one stop is much cheaper? Hong Kong Airlines is only selling $1540 one way to Narita in Economy, lounge access in HKG included.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    Can I ask which Samsung phone supports eSIMs? I am on Samsung S23FE and cannot support eSIMs. I wanted to have a new phone this year and I hope the new phone can support eSIMs.
