    SYD F Lounge access

    Yeah I generally use the Flagship lounge when connecting through as I mostly use AA - I actually find the mostly self service more convenient than the table/sit down/bar service at QF F. I don't think it's far from 6 where Alaska flys out of anyway (nor is QF F in TB really I guess).

    SYD F Lounge access

    Platinum on QF - Do you believe it possible to access the SYD F lounge with a connecting flight on a OW partner same day (Alaska Airlines ex LAX) but not the onward flight ex SYD (Delta SYD-LAX)? Flying Delta to try out there Delta One Suite ex Australia but questionable if there lounge is...

    Recent Experiences with QF’s new terminal transfer at SYD

    Guess each to there own on what a “seamless” transfer means.. so long as your on QF metal leaving SYD domestically after arrival, its about the best transfer process anywhere (for those with e-chip enabled passports).. I’d say 10mins from deboarding through to baggage via the egates (no human...

    Philippines Lounges

    Gold can access the present PAGSS (partner) lounge with +1 so long as your on OW or Emirates.. it's marginally better then just taking a seat at one of the cafes/restaurants in Terminal 3. It's certainly not a lounge you want to be in for any extended period of time.

    Philippines Lounges

    Every week that passes, we get a week closer to no longer using the pagss lounge.. can’t come soon enough.. too bad it’s not on the Qantas roadmap! Bring it on Cathay..

    Qantas to release thousands of Classic Reward seats in Y, PE, J, F on 24 Feb 2023 around 11am

    Not likely a popular opinion but these additional point seat releases in the premium cabins hurt more then help actual frequent flyers versus those collecting points via any and all methods on the ground.. means far less opportunity for upgrades on purchased flights to popular destinations...

    Qantas to Westjet at LAX

    One option that's not at the mercy of Qantas lounge staff knowing the rules and guarantee comfort for when layover is extensive is to purchase an AA onward flight.. refundable option of course.

    Qantas to Westjet at LAX

    Perhaps the baggage "rules" have changed since that article was posted/archived - at least what Westjet are following anyway or there systems just don't take it into consideration. I was on a Westjet from Toronto through to LAX then LAX through to MEL booked through QF. Baggage was tagged all...

    Qantas to Westjet at LAX

    Keep in mind that whilst going over you get QF/OW luggage entitlements but if your flying back via Westjet into the USA your going to end up with Westjet luggage entitlements regardless of QF or OW status.. and it's literally either 0 or best case 1 free bag. I did this just last week and...

    How Did You Earn Your Qantas Status?

    Corporate international (YYZ, SJO and MNL) about a dozen times a year along with a lot of domestic - being based in Australia at present its a hard slog regardless of travel class. Upgrade priority/success is of great benefit and I do use the lounges but I feel it's just what seems to happen...

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    Likewise here.. seems like they may have updated them all in bulk. Card expiry is 5th Feb 2024 so I am getting a little more then 12 months. 800 credits and 8 sectors remaining to renew (I only completed the exact 200 during offer window).

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    As others have said, this was clearly bad info.. both pj’s and amenity kits received MEL to LAX this week.

    QF93 MEL - LAX (J) - No 1st Class Cabin but 1st Class Service

    don‘t recall ever from QF? Cathay yes, AA yes (even there local flights), but I didn’t fly much QF pre-covid.

    QF93 MEL - LAX (J) - No 1st Class Cabin but 1st Class Service

    Recent flight over to LAX, flight was delayed out of MEL about 30mins (was told catering) but once on the plane it was all fantastic the entire trip. The last hour or two was some intense buffering as we flew in the Californian storms but well handled by pilots and a super smooth landing...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    It does not appear to be WP related as I have been Green Tier pretty much since it came out and not received any specific "green" offers either. Live those above, I also just had the quiz leaf show as completed last week yet not even attempted to click through on qualification this membership year.

    Seat shadow, welcomed and drinks offered in advance of service carts in Y (SYD to MNL)

    Was provided a very welcome “shadow” on my recent flight SYD to MNL - absolutely full flight and was the only empty seat in either Y or J. No chance it was luck, being platinum they clearly looked after me. Was also welcomed by name and offered drinks service well prior to the general Y...

    Virgin Australia Discover Gold (Status Match)

    agreed on the flights, all went smoothly on my end completing the 200 SC’s with just the 4 sectors and only weather related issue on 1 of them ADL to MEL. completed it a few weeks ago and still showing as Gold but it states I have completed enough to maintain status so expect that to stay as is...
