New Qantas Double status credits offer (book by 2/9/26; travel 3/9/26 until 14/8/27)

[Sydney]

Perhaps Qantas.com is broken on your browser, so I'll help you out and copy/paste it here for you:

Thanks, sorry about that as I didn't see the clarification online.
I did just call Qantas and they confirmed that those flights are eligible and so I came back here to post as such. Thanks again @transpactraveller!

I also answered the exact same question from you yesterday....

I also answered the exact same question from you yesterday....

Yes, and thanks for that @sudoer!
My question today had the operators and the quoted condition that when I double checked, was unsure if they complied with the precise wording of "Qantas operated" in case the condition/s of this promo is different to previous promos.

If you book a QF operated flight to LAX and QF involuntarily moves you to one operated by American Airlines you would be able to claim ORC. So long as you book a qualifying flight and don’t voluntarily change to one that doesn’t qualify you should be fine.

I booked MEL-BNE-CNS return on a public holiday long weekend. 480 SCs at $3.33 per SC sounded ok to me.

I've been playing around the last few days and this is the best cash value run I've seen so far this promotion, so well done!

Is the inbound aircraft into Cns the same as the outbound from Cns? If so, I could book as 2 separate tickets to shorten the day?

Yes, usually; if it’s an E90 or A220 then almost certain to be the same aircraft turning back to BNE.

 

[mviy]

If it’s about 40 minutes between scheduled arrival and departure that would probably suggest same aircraft turning around immediately.

No guarantees though that they won’t use a different aircraft for the flight back if the inbound is significantly delayed or has issues that need looking at by maintenance.

I found a combination that looks like the inbound and outbound to / from Cns are the same plane. A220 and 45 mins apart Do i book as 2 separate tickets?...

Yes, system probably won’t let you book as a return though you can try.

No it won't. Tried multicity but system wouldn't let me. But if I did Mel-Bne-Cns, Cns-Bne-Syd as multicity booking, it will allow the 45 min transit in Cns...and I have to get back to Syd anyway...hmmm...

I booked mine overnight, a kid-free sleep is always welcome

After several years purchasing gift vouchers for the cinema I’ve recently hit LTG.

As a result, I’m now planning to diversify the cinema chains I infrequent.

However, I’m considering taking out some insurance because our movie viewing plans next year may be easier if I keep the WP I->U benefit for one additional year.

To do this, I’m planning to switch from buying cinema gift vouchers to buying an actual movie ticket.

A couple of questions for regular movie goers (happy to accept PM responses):

1. At which cinemas are the lowest entry prices generally found for the most flexible screenings?

2. If at some later time I want to change the cinema, or the date of the movie etc, can that be done self-serve, or do you have to run the gauntlet with the cinema call centre?

I'll DM you, but for here:

Look at outback mining towns - open sky screenings are nice!

Cinema Call centre; self serve only allows you to change the date of the same screening. I only use those with my Travel Agent who can change any aspect of the experience.

Was looking at flying back from Melb to Syd on Easter Monday.
Qf only has CR+ available for direct in economy & business.
I saw there were CR business avail for Melb-Adl & Adl-Syd but it wouldn't allow me to book online.
Called up & was able to book Mel-Adl-Syd for 29K pts & nets me 72SC with points club.
Points deducted & e-ticket received.

Is there a particular reason for changing your way of viewing, Captain?
Do you have concerns around the movie vouchers remaining valid?
Or perhaps you are looking to have your first screening in another country.

There’s actually a simple self-service ticket exchange method.

Anyone who wants to know the movie ticket spiel is welcome to DM me.

Yes please will send you DM to check my understanding. Thanks.
