The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

Interesting! I had the exact opposite experience on Sunday! Packed flight as well due to a cancellation.

I don’t have lounge access so was waiting at the gate… they made several announcements inviting pax to gate check bags for free, and if bags weren’t gate checked, they would not be flying on that 0ane, but you’d have to wait for the flight after.

More than likely that the priority folk, with lounge access, weren’t around for those announcements.

Boarding was by zines, and they only called them once the current zine(s) had cleared. There were a few stragglers I guess, but by the time they called zone 3 and 6 it was pretty much just those zones, and w boarded through both lanes.

There were a couple of pax who didn’t have space for bags, but the crew proactively took out some of the smaller items, asked who they belonged to, and had them stowed under the seat.

I thought it worked really well… but obviously not all the time!

Hey guys,

My family members registered the Qantas Frequent Flyer (QFF) accounts on the 10th of this month. Since then, there has been no activity on the account—no flight redemptions for anyone else—only occasional gift card purchases to earn some points. However, this afternoon, My family discovered that the account can't be used for online access, and ask me to call the Frequent Flyer Service Centre. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Thanks.
