To/from DXB is often higher airfare than to/from EUR - hence stopovers generally not allowed on QF as part of the joint agreement with EK - however you will find that EK itineraries/rules are more flexible but you will miss the bonus points and credits that you get on the QF codeshare.

VA FF Boss quoted in the AFR today: “There’s still a seat to London every day in July with one of our partners. It might be a different partner every day but because we’ve got all these different airlines, there’s a variety of routes,” he said.

flight number entry would be great

I have always had error message searching awards ex Dxb (perhaps because Qantas no longer serves UAE direct and does not deal with AED currency)?

note the article referred to financiers seeking advice, so Bonza saying no (direct) contact with KM may be correct

you need to be careful regarding intra EUR reward seats, sometimes the taxes/charges of the partner airline exceed or are very close to the fares available for cash... EG KLM seems to have very high taxes/charges

suggest you dispute/do a charge back on your credit card if getting nothing out of merchant

article on the AFR that Bonza’s financiers have called on restructuring advisory KordaMentha to provide them with advice about the ongoing operations...

Hi, sometimes for qantas reward bookings when viewed on QF 'my booking' site if the airline is not QF it simply does list the class for some reason. May have something to do with the system not recognising the other carrier's fare bucket. On your app it should show the class, and another way to...

signed up on the phone on Thursday as could not complete online and 6000 points arrived today (existing customer 3000 for electricity and 3000 for gas)

it is only Qantas that there is a foreign ownership restriction (49%) which is in the Act that privatised it. Any other airline seeking to change ownership would be subject to FIRB (if foreign) and possibly ACCC review

tried to do online and there does not seem to be a way - certainly no AGL velocity plan to select and when I selected value saver - it did not ask for velocity number - perhaps email sent before AGL has system up and running...

since the facelift on the FF landing page, I have noticed that reference to attaining LTG has gone and it now shows 'Enjoy your Lifetime Qantas Club membership.' - which is not the same! My app card still shows LTG. I am currently plat, so perhaps if I drop down at some point the LTG will reappear.

ideally to avoid arguments with VA you want to have the BP issued with your VA number on it and then take a photo of the BP before the stub part which contains the VA number is taken by some staff at boarding

I found that there is a (slight) time lag in losing the seat selection from changing from QF Plat to VA - so my advice is to load QF Plat number into booking, and choose seats for no charge. Prior to checking in online or at airport go into app and change FF numbers - if you are doing this just...

it may depend if it is ticketed as VA codeshare or QR flight numbers. If QR flight numbers you should be ok with accessing lounges in Au and Doha with QF status (as you are on OW carrier). Outside of Au and Doha it becomes a bit messy with third party lounges and access rules and knowledge -...

yes - now has been processed - did send in pictures of the QR boarding pass with VA number on stub, a second boarding pass the stub had been taken on boarding, so thought this was going to be an issue - but both flights now credited.

the whole lack of knowledge of outstations (being airports not in Au or Doha) in relation to lounge access for VA holders is a real fail. The fact that lounge access or status is not shown on the boarding pass means there is constant confusion and argument at lounge entries. Why cant QR do what...

try EK booking number in the EK app, should work assuming all ticketed

I have same issue current - flew QR and had VA in booking on 4 flights. First 2 credited, last 2 did not. VA number on boarding passes. Was an issue accessing a third party lounge that would not accept VA gold, so I showed QF plat card for flight 3 - I think at that point the agent changed the...
