New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

Hi! Sorry to go back like 10 pages but just wanted to circle back to this...

I like flying Virgin domestically, however yes I fly a fair bit internationally and it has been spread between QF, AA, SQ and NH this year - so an even split of OW and VA partners. Hence I don't mind trying to chase both. Primarily I'll pick QF especially when there is a good business lounge available but on a lot of routes a VA J flight is the same as QF flex Y so I'm often tempted take that instead. VA are also more generous with their elites (ime) for same day schedule changes and being a plat there keeps me at the top of the tree for that, plus I find their call centres easier to deal with.

I generally grind through my renewal for QF and then switch to VA for whatever is left of my QF year. I'd say my main reasons for keeping QF platinum are all benefits that occur on my overseas travel rather than domestic so I'm not exactly handcuffed to Qantas while flying here. I hope this makes sense!

Agreed - WP is only really an advantage when flying internationally.

It’s just a thought, wondering if there will also be a U-turn on the “bonus loyalty gift” SC’s not being eligible for LTG etc status?
Would be a pleasant surprise lol.

@Princess Fiona posted previously that she’d heard this may very well be happening. Obviously we won’t know for sure until it does (or doesn’t).

Ended up making one booking over the weekend, was surprised that J SYD-TSV is cheaper than J SYD-MEL or SYD-ADL although it is am Embraer not a 737.

Speaking of which with the 1 2 layout on the Embraer does that mean one needs to check hand-luggage at the aircraft like you do when flying the Dash-8s to CBR?

SYD-AYQ was surprisingly cheap at <$700, although when that fare bucket runs out it jumps to $2000!

I managed to get a booking created with our corporate travel agent, however they didn't add my QFF number to the booking at time of booking, I went in and added it in after. Does anyone know if that will still be ok for DSC?

Won’t be an issue.
