    No economy seats on QF or VA Sunday 19 Nov ex PER to ADL?? Seriously?

    Yep 100% coldplay, flights to all major oz cities are stuffed 3 days either side. Can fly via Bali for cheaper though. I was about to cancel a trip, had the outbound booked but the return was $$$$. Phoned and they released a seat for me thankfully. Also noticing similar issues with Perth...

    Avoid PayID payment to Qantas

    I booked a flight for February today and decided to try using PayID for payment. Big mistake. Normally I'd use Bpay but figured this time I'd use payId. Flight was booked and I got taken to the PayID payment screen. I logged in to Bankwest and sent a payment to the qantas payID email that's...

    Changes to Virgin Australia Lounge Terms

    I was about to start a thread asking exactly this question. Can a UA Gold bring in a guest? I've fallen back to virgin silver but have lifetime gold on UA. I'm flying on virgin at xmas with a child so I figured I'd confirm that they'll be able to come in to the lounge, but Virgin says to look...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Seems to be getting worse. Rang the 131211 platinum line. Was told the wait would be under 15 minutes. Gave up after 2hrs 45 mins. Will try my luck at the airport with service desk/lounge staff.

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    Thanks for that. I checked the flights and they now cost more. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on it and cancel for credit and rebook if the cheaper fares reappear.

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    Is it definitely PNR creation date that is used for qualification, or is it the ticketed date? I booked Easter flights yesterday but chose to pay by bpay so it was ticketed today. All payment/issue dates in the eticket say 25 Mar.

    Future Flight Credits

    I encountered the same problem. Very frustrating. But I did some digging. It's dependent on browser/device combination. There's a new site which some browsers get redirected to and others don't. Only the new beta site allows travel bank purchases. If you have trouble use the following...

    Perth to Melbourne J Domestic or International?

    I fly between MEL and PER every week. I generally try to avoid the 787 domestically. Just not worth the hassle with immigration and customs. The food I've had has been at the exact same level as the 330. Maybe you get better champagne (I don't usually order it) but I'd say just have a few in...

    Big changes to earning United status in 2020

    Wow. How confusing do they want to make it. So some fare classes don't get you a PQF? Very glad I made it to million miler and lifetime gold when it was easy to understand :)

    A380 operating QF79 MEL-NRT on 21/10/19 [as a "Points Plane"]

    Looking forward to this flight. Managed to snag an F seat. Really glad to have done it given the program changes resulting in more points needed for new bookings. Also trying ANA for the return on their NRT-PER direct flight. 50,000 points for J in a throne seat (booked through united). I...
