Recent special OOL-MEL-AKL return for $1495 in business yielding 560 SCs per trip (based on DSC). Four status runs for $5980 = 2240 SCs leaving another 1360 to be obtained from other trips. Easy to get if you go to Europe on $ once on DSCs in business class.

First possible attempt at fraud. I’ve just received an invoice emailed to me for $3650 from Coastal Contracting in Frankford Delaware. And I guess that’s US dollars too They must think we’re stupid that we’d just pay an invoice …. “Oh yeah, I must have got them to do something on my house in...

Gotta like the AKL QANTAS lounge refurbishment agreement between QF and EK. Flying JQ out of AKL tonight and bang - into the EK lounge.

Yes. In 2022 I was scheduled to fly on a QR ticket VCE-MAD on IB (economy), then QR (business) from MAD-DOH-SIN, Prior to the flight QR changed my first leg to VCE-FRA on Lufthansa, and the subsequent flights to FRA-DOH-SIN. The Lufthansa flight was delayed, I missed the QR flight out of...

Are you sure you’ve got the details right? If you’ve got Points Club but she doesn’t, it should have been you that got status credits on the QF points flight and she shouldn’t have. But you said it was the other way around in the OP

Just the 3% discount, as well as your normal credit card earn

I think this relates to a VA flight - there’s a giveaway sentence: “Is this FA blocking the aisle for disembarking J pax a new thing for the last 2 months (I stopped booking most flights with VA since the new status credit calculation) or did i just witness something weird?”

I’m usually in Row 4. I always use the rear toilets. I have absolutely no expectation of anything else, and no sense of entitlement that, even as P1, I should be able to use the J loo. On one occasion the CSM came back mid flight to say hi (thx for your loyalty etc) and said if I needed to use...

Excellent. Thx very much

I’m planning on an SYD-HKT transiting through SIN (QF to SIN then JQ/3K to HKT) on a QF ticket. Do the airlines transfer your luggage, or do you have to collect it and check it in again? And the return?

They don’t seem to. I bought multiple gift cards two days in a row this week and got no new fuel vouchers.

I set about to build points and SCs throughout COVID, figuring that COVID would finish and I’d have points and status to help me use them.

It is actually something I apply my mind to - multiple flights within Australia either side of a couple of other flights with BA and AA.

Hopefully another 16 years by which stage I might be LTP 😂

Unless you’ve got some big bills coming up - eg kids’ 4th term school fees. $20,000 of Woolworths gift cards from next Wednesday will yield 200,000 QF points. Just take your 40 gift cards along to the school when the fees are due and spend half an hour processing them individually. The office...

The advantage of making an effort to retain PC this year is that you will get PC status credits for CFRs flights in your next year. If you don’t use CFRs save your effort until your renewal ticks over and go for PC+

That’s certainly different to when I flew out 4 days ago. The sign said one hour, and it opened only one hour prior.

You land at the domestic terminal in SYD, and have to transfer to the international terminal via the Gate 15 bus. I did it yesterday. It’s not hard, and you don’t need a host. It’s also not hard going from the bus through SYD security. You don’t need a host. However, you’ve had the host in LAX...

The latter is what they told me.

Agree, you can’t assume. But it’s always been there unless the plane is full. I’ve had it 90% of the time.
