    Qantas First Lounge Spa

    Is it just me or does anyone else think the spa treatment times are getting shorter and shorter? Last couple of times I’ve been there and had a treatment, it lasted for around 15 minutes or less which hardly seemed like it was worth bothering.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    I’ve booked a business fare MEL to SYD for $450 on 25 January 2025 (my ff year ends in January). Not bad value for 80 SC. Will use this booking as placeholder for another booking or can cancel for no penalty.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    The multi city search engine is hopeless, even for a basic NZ trip. Can see the flights and select seats etc then at the confirmation stage get an error. Trying to get through to Qantas to book over the phone is hopeless even for Platinum. Over an hour wait then they hang up on you.

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    My bugbear with J CRs is that if there is only a seat available on one way then I would be happy to pay the J fare the other way if it was priced at half the return cost rather than close to the return price. So Qantas please price your J international one way fares the same way you price...

    A380 To Fly Special MEL > SYD Flight 23feb24 (QF7168)

    They will probably be stuck on the tarmac once they land due to no gates free in Sydney. I’m on QF648 from Perth which landed at 19.45 but we are still waiting for a gate an hour later. Hoping I can still get onto QF 493 to Melbourne which is now scheduled to depart at 21.30 🤞.

    I looked around too but didn’t know what you looked like Serfty 😀. Enjoy your flight to Singapore. Just boarded QF9 to Perth.

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I just had the Pad Krapow in the Melbourne lounge. Delicious but very spicy if you pour the side dish of chilli and garlic over it.

    Current F Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Currently in the Melbourne First lounge. Looks like the all day menu is now (as of yesterday) available from 12pm rather than 11am which is a shame. Unless QF35 is delayed will miss out on the salt and pepper squid!

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    More realistic LTP requirement of say 35,000 status credits or 20 continuous years as WP. Cheaper pricing on one way international flights so you can combine with a reward flight.

    Article: Reward Seat Release Patterns Have Changed Fundamentally

    I get that award seats have limited availability and therefore I would be happy to get an award seat one way and pay for the return fare. But it peeves me off that I have to pay more for a one way fare compared to a return. Even yesterday looking at booking one way economy fare to Singapore was...

    Checking in golf clubs

    I’ve taken my golf clubs to Fiji and New Zealand recently without any problems. Highly recommend getting the Eagles & Birdies weekender travel bag for $199. It’s light and relatively compact with wheels so easy to carry around. 1687508038 And put an Apple Airtag in your golf bag to track it!

    ORC question

    I have had to chase up an ORC for a flight back in March. I emailed the FF centre and they responded that I had already received the status credits (?) . So I had to call them 3 times already and am on the phone to them again as I write this. So frustrating even getting someone on the phone who...

    2023 Hilton Status Retention

    I ended up booking a stay at the Doubletree on Flinders st at $179 for last night. Popped in after dinner to check in and then checked out 30 minutes later 😀.

    2023 Hilton Status Retention

    I’ve left my run too late to manage a stay by 31 March so does anyone know if I make a booking for a stay before 31 March but don’t actually check in, whether it will still count as a stay for the purpose of the promotion?

    Mel First lounge opening hours

    Wonderful, thank you. I was worried the First lounge only remained open for the last international flight that has first class which my flight doesn’t.

    Mel First lounge opening hours

    Can someone please advise what time the First lounge closes in Melbourne? Flying on QF155 to AKL on 29 April departing at 23:25 and wondering if lounge will still be open or if I should go on an earlier flight.
