    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Real awkward situation. My partner and I booked separately for this upcoming positioning flight to CGK to start our OWA J. As we checked in this morning, i noticed i got an upgrade (free, not requested). But she didn't as it's not a linked booking. Any chance I could get SYD F to swap us? I...

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    Also with the few samples I've seen. T-24 is now vicious. You don't have long before it's snapped up.

    Flights to Haneda

    Or Via KUL or CGK. You'd need something to get there but JL flies from all 3 ports.

    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    Another data point. If you're checked in but not issued a BP (due to needing to goto service desk to sight documents), seat selection is still regular paid seat selection.

    Recent SYD-MEL fly-ahead/standby experiences?

    I don't rely on it, but i do book SYD - MEL knowing I'd be ok with the flight i booked but also seeing if there's ways to get a more prime slot time. Also just watched a SG ask to move from the 10pm tonight to an earlier flight (8:30pm) at the SYD dom J lounge (QP is closed/closing now)...

    Article: Qantas Will Refurbish Its Airbus A330s

    Cost and overall plans. If it's going to cost them a lot they may choose not to do it. It also creates alot less fleet flexibility. Do you sell W tickets? but what happens if that plane is out of action, do you just sub in another 330 and downgrade? Right now a 330 goes down, they just...

    Recent SYD-MEL fly-ahead/standby experiences?

    Ok so they moved where it shows up in the app now. Instead of a big yellow notice at the top it's now a tiny bar here. So i may have just missed it last time.

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    I wonder if instead of the 737M8 it was a220-100s Whether bonza wouldve made it work. Issue of course being a lack of 220 pilots.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I'm on the phone with i think AKL atm so that would be middle of the night. Good thing too, otherwise I don't think south africa would be able to attempt to ticket things.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Been calling QF since last night. 5 calls. 4 HBA maximum wait time 10 minutes. 1 AKL (at least I think this is a new zealand accent although it would be mighty early in the morning for them). It may be that I have an "imminent" flight that I'm getting through to them. Problem is still in...

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    Right i guess technically if that's counted that's 17. Edi: Although i did ask the guy to run a price on MEL - CGK instead of MEL - SIN and it still failed.

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    I regularly take the 350 to T3 if i have the time. It's a 8min ride to Mascot station and then it becomes normal opal prices. Those $20 taps add up. Granted Didi currently regularly has great deals to the airport. I don't know how much they cost from the airport and now you get velocity...

    Passenger Numbers - Qantas SYD/LAX up or down in 2024

    There are alot of reward flights and upgrades for a lot of the people up front. In economy honestly it's eh across the board unless you go to something like JL. In Y, QF prices are comparable or cheaper.

    Flights to Haneda

    Also just FYI, looking at the state of Thai right now, it may be hit or miss - I saw nonstopdan's video going through lately and they didn't have a faucet on the business class bathroom (forgot which widebody - but the FA mentioned the companies finances didn't allow them to replace it). So the...

    Isn't flying through DFW considered a SC hack - because according to Qantas that's flying from West Coast to East Coast earnings.

    Flights to Haneda

    Less than 7hr would make SIN stop very borderline. (SIN - TYO) Is around 7hr. If thats ok then PER - SIN - TYO or PER - KUL -TYO is the best options. Qantas/JL does this route too along with SQ or MH/JL via KUL. CX via HKG is another. Alternatively NH direct if you can take 10h.

    "oneworld" award (132.4K/249.6K/318K/455K) Planning - The Definitive Thread

    I have an itinerary that pushes a lot of the boundaries here and I've explored it a bit. The computer will not allow 2 transits and 1 stop in the same city. I had tried to transit twice in Sydney and Stop in Sydney as well. (current Itinerary doesnt do this) I got pushback from one HBA...
