    Unable to link Qantas lounge pass

    Can confirm I had no trouble entering the MEL Qantas Domestic biz lounge with my J boarding pass for ADL DOH. Nice lounge!

    What did you show a screenshot of? The Oneworld lounge access rules?

    Unable to link Qantas lounge pass

    I'm flying MEL -> ADL -> DOH -> BCN on a classic reward next week. The MEL -> ADL leg is in Y, and rest is in J. I assume this means no lounge access in MEL, but seeing as I have a bunch of complimentary invitations in my account I might as well use one. However on the lounge invitations page...

    QF Flight Award Sweet Spots

    I use them almost exclusively for QR and EK redemptions in J and F. Been doing this for some in years now; I don't think I've flown Qantas metal since 2009 actually. I'm obviously very irritated at the recent hike in EK surcharges. But I'll try not to cry into my champagne onboard QR915 in...

    Emirates hikes up carrier charges on reward seats

    Really I'm just here to vent a little; I'm surprised I don't see any existing thread with people complaining about it: The cash component of J and F classic reward bookings have increased around threefold in the past week. e.g. MEL -> FCO in F is now 225K points and ~AUD$1400. I paid $432 for...

    Travel Insurance which covers COVID-19?

    I'm currently on an extended trip in Europe (left Australia in July) and found a reasonable policy & price with these guys: WorldTrips Travel Insurance Covid cover may be especially useful in a few months as countries like Thailand require it as a condition of visa issuance.

    MEL intl first lounge, reopening?

    Right, yeah that had occurred to me. I thought perhaps they were open for the night Jetstar service scheduled on the 14th, but that's likely a long shot. Cheers.

    MEL intl first lounge, reopening?

    Flying EK F on July 14, and wondering what the odds are on the QF first lounge in Melbourne reopening by then. My understanding is that they reopened it for the NZ green flights, which have been paused for now (although theoretically resuming next week) Tips?

    Emirates baggage interline to Qantas on different PNR?

    And, amazingly, they've both effectively responded with "we don't know, ask them". With "them" being Qantas and Auckland Airport respectively. This is really silly.

    Emirates baggage interline to Qantas on different PNR?

    That's an old media release, there is still no confirmation that such a zone in the airport actually exists and is operational yet. You've also selectively quoted that Auckland Airport Twitter thread; their answers are far from clearly referring to this mythical "safe travel zone". I agree...

    Emirates baggage interline to Qantas on different PNR?

    I'd agree that it's most likely impossible. It still remains unclear, though, what the arrangements are in AKL airport that would actually prevent me from doing it. Some months ago AKL was talking about the "safe travel area" in the terminal, but it's unclear whether they actually built it...

    Emirates baggage interline to Qantas on different PNR?

    Agreed - at this point I consider that this plan is not an option. Will wait and see if they bother to contact me before I cancel though.

    Emirates baggage interline to Qantas on different PNR?

    Yeah there's indeed many ways this plan could fail. I haven't heard any specifics about this; do you have a link with some more detail I could take a look at?

    Emirates baggage interline to Qantas on different PNR?

    As per subject; have a J booking on Emirates from BCN -> AKL, and a seperate Qantas booking from AKL -> SYD. I'm not permitted to leave transit area in AKL, so cannot re-check bag. Any idea on the likelihood that Emirates will interline the bag, or other creative solutions I can use to solve...
