The bonus points are tied to your purchase of the gift card. It does not matter when or even if you spend the entire amount of the gift card. Ordinarily points are posted to your EveryDayRewards card then and there at the terminal (provided you scanned your EveryDayRewards card). Sometimes there...

Could someone check Sofitel Darling Harbour for 11 May?

If the classic award seat shows up when they search online with Qantas it is as a matter of fact guaranteed. Yes there is the downside that you can only look up to 297 days out on Qantas. Is there a guarantee that there will be a classic award seat for every flight Qantas has? No. But when they...

It really depends on the routes involved. Certainly for domestic flights and golden triangle routes like SYD > MEL, there is a decent chance they can secure an upgrade from economy to business. Whether it is worth spending the better part of 10,000 points so you can fly in business on an A330...

Good to see we know who is really running the show at Qantas. Surprised he didn't add the position of Chief Trolling Officer for Qatar.

People were not spoofing their location. iPhone does not allow it, I'm unsure on Android. Clearly people flew to places that had the cheaper prices then flew back to take advantage of the discount.

Yikes! ibis budgets outside of Europe from my (albeit limited) experience are largely miss. I've stayed at the one at Sydney Airport, it was a decent hotel but if I was paying anymore than the $80/night I was spending would be hard to justify. In terms of how you are treated as an Accor elite, I...

Buying a new bag is good for my own environment as there is less faffing about. But it is ecologically a disaster to throw out what is otherwise a perfectly good bag because the handle doesn't work. It is a contradiction and one that I do find hard to square away. To be fair this is the first...

Her fingerprints all over the Qantas fleet. Just look at the tail of any of their birds - they start with VH!

No doubt some rascal will have a few copies of that book in their carryon and then proceed to place them on the bookshelf nonchalantly.

I don't think they do. They do have JQ15 which does MEL to KIX (via CNS), though. The JQ flights which feature an international domestic sector seem to change over time. For instance, JQ63 which flies from Melbourne to Saigon but has a Sydney (to Melbourne) tag segment on Mondays and Fridays...

Yes but how was the legroom? 🤔

Let's hope he mentions the illegal firing of ground crew and pulls no punches there. After all, as I've mentioned earlier, the highest court of the land agreed with the lower courts which found that Qantas fired over a thousand Unionized workers illegally. And for those who bring up defamation...

Those Fokkers!

It is what it is. At the end of the day, I went to the business lounge and managed to find an empty shower. Yes I was in a hurry and rushed through some of the niceties getting there. And yes it was my fault for not prioritizing the shower. I should have done that first in hindsight, or signed...

The stereotype is quiet and very polite. That is at least what my partner and others have told me. To your point, I would encourage you to spend some time travelling in the United States. You will see meltdowns there that make any "stunt" I pull off seem like a walk in the park. Specifically I...

Worst thing to say to a Canadian is praise for the current Prime Minister, <redacted> and nothing like his father (Pierre Elliot Trudeau who did more for Canada in one year, 1982, than most PMs did in a whole career). And yet, I've got a Canadian passport and lived in Canada for the better...

Especially given the no thongs in lounge rule is not enforced in international lounges. I'm just waiting for the day Borat enters the QF Flounge in a thong and says, "Very nice!". -RooFlyer88

To be specific, I can select any seat I want for myself as a LA Black member for all three flights (MEL > SCL, SCL > GRU, GRU > POA) for free, that is no problem. Specifically I am choosing the more space/front seats. However, if I were to select my partners seat it would ask me to pay for those...

There are no ticketing desks even at the international side? Interesting. Although one does wonder what power a lowly QF check-in agent at the airport has these days. Can they transfer you onto another QF service? Evidently that is possible. Seat selections and upgrades are also available, it...
