Hi everyone Just a quick question today. I noticed while viewing my QFF summary this morning that I now have an additional line item telling me that my QC membership expires on 31 July 2011. As a Platinum member, I'm surprised that this line has been added as I thought my QC membership...

Hi everyone I'm planning to fly to HKG in late April, and I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on their recent experiences to date with the various airlines that service this route. I'm looking to fly either economy or a premium economy product. Thanks in advance Chris

Hi everyone Has anyone stayed at one of the aloft hotels yet? I've always been curious to find out what people thought of Aloft...I've even considered booking at Aloft on a couple of occasions given the fairly cheap rates.... anyone have any experiences to share? Thanks in advance Chris

Hi... I just have to say...despite all the negative press that Qantas has received over the past year, it is still pleasing to note that I have received my customer service manager greeting 4 out of 4 times in the last two months on my transpacific flights in Nov/Dec 08. While the greeting...

Hi everyone I have a quick question today. Is the likelihood of receiving an Op Up from Economy to First on domestic AA flights greater when you are flying on a ticket with your AA Platinum number attached as opposed to your QF Platinum number? Or is this just irrelevant? Thanks in...

Hi there, Ok, so this may seem like a really trivial question, but what is the custom for tipping at the Qantas First Lounges (i.e. for dining and spa treatments)? The only reason I ask is because I was called out at an AA lounge about two years into my time working in the U.S. for not...

Hi all, Thought I'd share a couple of first impressions re: economy class on the A380 QF12 flight (2nd I believe from LAX-SYD). * Way too many people at the gate at LAX, resulting in substantial delays. I guess the hideous weather did not help! * The LAX OW First Lounge was a joke...there...

Hi I was wondering whether anyone could share their experiences with the availability of First award redemptions on AA flying from SFO/LAX to SYD. Would the availability mimic what Qantas disclose on their award booking database? Are there less awards because AA is a oneworld partner...

Hi all, I used to book SPG properties religiously when making hotel reservations due to the rate at which SPG points racked up (thanks to ongoing promos) and the 1:1 redemption with QFF with the 5k bonuses. Now that QFF has left the SPG program, I am wondering what hotel loyalty programs you...

Hi I am considering redeeming my QFF points for a first class ticket from SYD to LHR mid next year, and was hoping that there would be award tickets for the A380 flights starting in January 09. Unfortunately, there are no A380 first class award tickets available throughout 2009, but...

Hi I was wondering, if I booked a hotel via the Qantas Hotels search engine (e.g. a Sofitel hotel within Australia), would I get the three QFF points per dollar as well as the double A Club points per dollar (per the current A Club promotion)? Or would I be limited to either the three QFF...

Hi everyone Quick question today - I was wondering, should I expect to get the extra 1 point per $1 spent on Qantas services for flights booked online on the Americas Qantas website? I ask because I recently purchased a Qantas flight from the Americas Qantas website, as well as a Qantas...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could share some of their experience with me with respect to booking award flights (i've only ever booked award upgrades in the past). I am keen to book a first class flight either LAX-SYD or SYD-LAX on the A380, but the award booking database shows...

Hi everyone Quick question today for Platinum QFF members, what do you typically ask for when the Qantas Customer Service Manager personally greets you and asks if you want anything when you are flying on international economy flights? I'm always at a loss as to what I can get away with...

I have one last question for tonight... I've been reviewing the AA website and the AAdvantage Participant Airline Award Chart. Qantas is recognized as one of the AAdvantage Participant Airlines. According to the above chart, you need 125,000 AA miles to purchase a flight from North...

Hi everyone I have a quick question. One of the popular routes I take is the SFO-SYD direct service, and in the past, I have used my QFF points to upgrade from discount economy to business class. My question is, how do you find a ticket that is classified as "economy" rather than...

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone knew of any QFF affiliated credit cards that are available to U.S. residents. I've been looking around to no avail. The closest thing I have found is my U.S. Corporate AMEX with Membership Awards which allows for the cardholder to surrender...

Hi everyone, Hope you're all well. I was just wondering if anyone knew whether the loophole on AA re: YUP/P fares was still in effect, or whether it has since closed (i.e. 6 x SCs) Thanks Chris

Hi everyone... I'm new to the forum, and am really glad I found a like minded community. I recently read a message thread about someone who suggested buying two tickets with LAN between AKL-SYD and SYD-AKL over the course of three days. This got me thinking, what on earth would you tell...
