    How early can I enter domestic Qantas lounge?

    Yep for $116 it is absolutely not worth it.. Expect salads, a toasted sandwich and basic beer and wine. Airtrain is $55 for two to Eagle Junction if you book online. Spend the remaining $61 at a cafe (Let Minnow is great) and you'll be immensely more satisfied and enjoy a couple hours out of...

    How early can I enter domestic Qantas lounge?

    Definitely give this a go, I've had pretty good success with this if you're friendly and early.

    CR strategy to Europe with infant

    Thanks all for the great advice. I had forgotten about Finnair and their new J lounge style seat. Our plan would be to visit Scandinavia / Central Europe so flying into Helsinki and nearby would actually be very convenient. I might look into focussing on flying via SIN or other East Asian...

    Best Economy Seat Qantas A330-300 Economy

    My guess would be 44B and J. At least on the A333 the 2nd exit row aisles have unlimited legroom. The window seats (A and K) are very cramped though.

    CR strategy to Europe with infant

    My wife and I are planning on travelling to Europe in Nov-Dec 2025 with an infant (under 1yo). While we'd be happy buying a return PE cash fare, it'd be great to try and get some value out of 400k QF points with SG status. I'm interested in other AFF'ers experiences travelling with infants in...

    WARNING : Cancellation of one leg of a status booking, error with Qantas system

    This is why it's often useful to book international reward flights as separate one way bookings.

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but you can't change the name on those code share rewards flight. We made the mistake last year - EK and QR J rewards then a number of paid cash flights. My wife ended up reissuing her passport back into her maiden name (for a fee) so we could travel...

    Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

    This ABC article contains a bit more information: Virgin plans to welcome small cats and dogs into flight cabins, but what happens if you have an allergy? So 67% of the pet owners said they would fly with pets. I wonder how many of the non-pet owners said they support the change?

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    It's possible no-one would notice, but I believe it's a criminal act to fly under someone else's name. https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/criminal/legislation/criminal-code-act/using-false-identification-information-to-obtain-an-air-passenger-ticket-for-a-constitutional-flight/

    Name change on Qantas classic reward ticket

    There's a 'name correction' for typos and name changes like marriage etc. which retains the same booking (if the CR is for a QF flight and not a partner redemption). AFAIK 'name changes' where the ticket is now for a new person require it to be split and cancelled, then re-book for the new...

    Is Qantas for real?

    I suppose a deeper look into the statistics would be needed. My gut says that for e.g. VA operate about 4x as many flights as Rex for MEL>SYD on a given day, which could mean they have a higher number of flights in windows of bad weather (storms in the afternoon/evening) and have more capacity...

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    QF503 BNE to SYD this morning (5:25AM). Long line for priority boarding as usual for weekday flights to Sydney. After priority rows 15-30 were called and then 4-15. Flight was probably only half full at best to be honest.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    Called up to cancel my Platinum Charge (AF due in Feb) and cited the EK/SQ points devaluations as the main driver. Don't push a huge amount through the card ($5k/mo) but mostly travel related. Have only been a customer for 12 months, was offered 30k points to stay. Was hoping for more to be...

    QF lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    We visited on the night of the first flights out of Narita - it was definitely J pax only as they were turning away others, but if it's now officially a partner lounge then QC should be fine.

    Family Transfer Changes

    Useful change, especially if you're just short a few points. Can confirm it was 5000 per transfer to a max of 600,000. Certainly much better than Virgin's restrictive family transfers.

    Can I change name on a classic reward flight?

    Yep we got stung by this unfortunately. We had Qsuites booked to LHR on a CR codeshare with Qantas, and EK F as well home (also CR). My wife got a new passport with her married name on it, and had to get another one issued instead in her maiden name before we left.. Then switch back when we got...
