    Why would QF not allow seat viewing on B 737 domestic service one week away?

    Booked via BA AVIOS redemption for PER to SYD a long time ago. It was originally when booked A330 and got changed to B 737 also ages ago (like months). . Seats were allocated ok in biz cabin. E ticket 125 stock issued. Now for over 24 hours all we see on App and on main site "seat choice are...

    QF ticketed flight to BKK via SIN ex PER

    Noticed that after the flight to SIN from PER the onward to BKK that I am considering is on a TG Dreamliner. Same coming back. My question is does this mean bags will be ticketed to BKK by QF at PER and at BKK to PER on the return and also despite being in Y cabin, is any lounge access available...

    Unexpected pricing processing error on VA

    Yesterday and today while trying to do a multi city booking which includes same day connections with at least two hours at each destination between biz and economy cabins on different flights, I have been able to go through all the necessary, until it comes to payment. It starts to process...

    Qantas ticket class visibility?

    I'm sure this must have been discussed on lots of occasions but similar to trying to see a booking class for a ticket I see nothing on it here! Why oh why don't Qantas show us the booking class before purchase? Seriously, it's not that hard and plenty of One World carriers do so ..in fact...

    Positioning to BKK ex PER suggestions?

    I'm likely to do a One World Tier point run later in the year. AY to Europe via BKK seems the way to go in biz (not lite) for around 3500 dollars return which is excellent. Issue is getting to BKK.it still amazes me that biz fares ex PER to BKK are nearly the same as the flights to Europe!! So...

    Are flight crews in VA lounge regular visitors?

    Just a curious question as noticed at MEL in the lounge chilling and having a coffee etc. does not bother me and assume they are (although then why is there not more of them?) For example I believe BA crew and probably many others are not permitted in lounges.

    VA aircraft update requirements?

    As I sit on an internet provided (allegedly) 18 year old 737 in Row 2, I look around. It's scruffy, it has no PowerPoints, it's generally old, it's on a mainline trunk route between Perth and Melbourne and back. It takes nearly an hour to provide the meal (one working front cabin out of a crew...

    Any chance of VA tie up with TG now that they are returning to PER?

    Good news for those of us who like to to use BKK as our gateway to Europe in biz class with various carriers at reasonable cost unlike the shocking fares usually seen ex PER. Not always easy to position to BKK from PER so the re instatement of the Thai flight in March is welcomed. Would be nice...

    Are we mad? Or just silly adventurous for some Sushi?

    We certainly always wanted a return visit to Japan. When living in UK just never got round to it as many other places to go. Been looking at ex PER fares recently all for 2024. Some hefty ones there. ANA was appealing until circ 9K-10K per ticket up the pointy end seemed to be the norm. SQ about...

    VA advice please on pricing for one pax against two!

    I see a price I am quite interested in using VA metal. For one it's 2900 dollars in biz. When I do it for two it's 7 thousand dollars plus! Could this be down to how many seats they release at lower price? Do you buy one, and expect VA to then make available the lower fare again? Then buy it...

    Maintaining Platinum simple explanation please with VA

    I am but a mere Brit and I must say I am confused with VA FF. I'm sure there are plenty of explanations that perhaps make sense posted somewhere!! Last year at this time I did quite a few VA flights to push to platinum. I notice now that 12 months after said flights my status points have dropped...

No.back up so eventually re routed via SYD on AY metal (although rubbish seats)...long wait and SYD and then to Perth...so about 16 hours later than planned for a 4 hour flight. God.love you...

    Question about VA Platinum free flight or upgrades?

    I'm sure it's obvious but as it's the first time for me I just want to check. Departing Perth and wanting to go to Queenstown. As flights will have to be "via" somewhere as no one fly's anywhere really from Perth, do I need to phone VA to see about availability on chosen route and wouldi have to...

    VA Economy X procedure?

    Notice on upcoming flights, while in row 3A and 3b the aisle seat is occupied. Row 4 and 5 remain available as do the emergency exit seats but do Virgin just give them away closer to departure time? Was thinking of taking 4a and 4c with anticipation seat 4b remains vacant. Worth the risk or stay...

    QF hotel discount voucher e mail after making booking

    Been sent for two flight bookings a discount voucher to be used within 72 hours for hotel booking made through Qantas. Making a quick check it still seems, for example, at least for Accor in Brisbane, more expensive than booking through Accor directly as a Accor business card holder. But the...

    VA Max config in Business?

    Apologies if this already has a thread? As we now move closer to the roll out of the MAX, (will it have any proving/training flights before it really gets going?) I'm wondering if the config in business is to be the same as that on the 800s? I was looking at a flight between Cairns and Tokyo...
