    Booking flights usually only found under Award Flights

    Excellent! Thank you for that. Hopefully the prices remain reasonable and sale prices are incorporated.

    Booking flights usually only found under Award Flights

    Well that's a real shame because this is the best flight timing I have seen until QF get a WLG-BNE direct flight. Not sure I will ever see that...

    Booking flights usually only found under Award Flights

    Is there a trick to booking connecting flights with money but for flights that don't appear on the usual Qantas fare search, and only appear in an award booking search? For example, take WLG-BNE on the 16th of June. Looking up award flights, the following flights with great timing for me show...

    QPs in AKL and WLG

    Excellent, thank you for that! Is that what that is in Brisbane International? The unofficial First class lounge? I thought that it was a 'domestic' type lounge the used to stuff in passengers flying on the morning flight to Sydney!!

    QPs in AKL and WLG

    What is the go with lounges at these ports. I only ever fly BNE-SYD-WLG and return on QF, but have opened myself up to other options. Is there an accessible lounge if my first flight from WLG is a domestic leg? As I know that there is an international departures area where the main QP is. What...

    serfty, as advised by arraitch, Dux Cafe, WA (09SEP10) is no longer a participant in the QFF program. Please consider this in your next update of the table. Cheers!

    Transferring baggage from JQ to QF

    I want to book a classic award from WLG-BNE flying JQ WLG-AKL and QF AKL-BNE. When Jetstar usually say that baggage needs to be re-checked in for each flight, what is the procedure with NZ routes and QF connections? On a slightly different note, my other question is, when you have two separate...

    Would you guest a total stranger into the Qantas Lounge?

    Have been happy to do this in the past for guests that have started talking to me around security at USA airports, however, they turned out to be same level or lower level lounge members. Nevertheless, I have remained good friends with two lads who were at least twice my age, and now I can say...

    The tough choice to stay WP or stay Velocity Platinum

    I also just realised that the upgrades are for domestic flights only. Lucky me, I guess then.

    The tough choice to stay WP or stay Velocity Platinum

    So in theory, you could upgrade from a Sale fare to PE using one of the 4 free upgrades? If so, that's good to hear. The one time that I did fly with VA as a Platinum, I was given an op up at the check in desk and I was on a sale fare. It was an international flight, so I'm just glad to hear I...

    The tough choice to stay WP or stay Velocity Platinum

    The main problem for me with that, is that fact that you have to be on an expensive flexible fare to be eligible. The one time that I tried to find out whether I would be able to get an upgrade, VA told me that there are only a few of these available on each flight!? I was flying on a certain...

    Lifetime Status Credits - do they keep you with QFF?

    Sorry, I was referring to the lack of expiry of points after a certain amount of time elapsed since their earn. Activity based point retention is quite easy for both programs.

    Lifetime Status Credits - do they keep you with QFF?

    Lifetime status credits are one of the major factors as to why I stick with QFF, and keep my flights with OW. Non-expiry of points is equally as important. Is this an important feature of QFF for you? Would you change over to Velocity if they had the same offering? Your thoughts on the matter...

    The tough choice to stay WP or stay Velocity Platinum

    My choice is to stay a WP. Velocity Plat is more or less the same as Velocity gold, with mostly the same benefits. Qantas offers me better service in Australia, and the advantage of the OneWorld alliance is unbeatable. And as hard as Velocity tries to interlink and integrate itself into the...

    Qantas direct BNE-WLG

    I think the problem for me was the price. I don't mind the in-direct routing through Sydney (and as a true FFFreak, I actually quite enjoy it), as long as one way isn't costing me the same as a return on a Branson jet.

    Qantas direct BNE-WLG

    Sweet justice! $209 sale to Welly! $379 was just extremely overly ridiculous.

    Qantas direct BNE-WLG

    That's true, even a couple of flights a week would be enough for BNE as well as CBR. I'm sure they could fill a few 737s. And Wellington is definitely my favourite little capital, and I'm making the move there soon, hence the question. :mrgreen: The holidays I have taken there have just not...

    Qantas direct BNE-WLG

    Hello all, I am just a bit concerned about the limited choice when it comes to flying between BNE and WLG direct. Air NZ no longer has any flights, and the only offering right now are 2 daily return flights on Virgin. The Qantas offering is mainly transferring through SYD or MEL on the odd...
