Hi I saw the webcast last night and tried Expert Flyer for the first time today searching for VA award flight availability. The results page just shows yes or no for availability but not the number of seats. Is this a peculiarity of VA searches or have I missed something? Matt's demo last night...

Received an e-mail from Westpac outlining changes where a card holder can switch from Altitude Rewards to Qantas points and vice versa subject to terms and conditions. I don't know if this as another outcome of the banking royal commission but I would think it has to be a good thing if...

Apologies if this has already been discussed but today arriving in MEL I saw that at the corner near gate 1 Qantas has obtained some retail space and setup a physical Qantas Rewards Store. Inside they have on display all the literal and figurative toasters than can be purchased with Qantas points.

Not sure where to create this thread so hopefully this is the right place for my question. I am looking to book the following reward flight on JAL from Osaka to KL this coming November on the Qantas website. A few questions I have for people who may have done this in the past: 1) I read...

Hello fellow QFFs, So after churning a few Qantas bonus cards I have accumulated about a million points over the last few years. While I am aware that using points for upgrade or business class reward tickets are best, I don't have much use in that way. On the other hand you know the redemption...
