hmm surprised this doesnt seem to be up already - but i havent noticed it on any threads, and the link didnt come up in a search - so ...
Qantas frequent flyer bag changes
In brief ...
QANTAS is tightening baggage rules and increasing some fees for its most valued customers - its frequent flyers.
''This means all Qantas customers will have a piece limit, as well as a weight limit, applied to their complimentary checked baggage allowances,'' the airline said in a memo to members.
Qantas's schedule of fees was changing to bring them in line with those charged to casual travellers, a spokeswoman said.
Some of the fee changes take effect from December, others from May 4 next year.
Qantas Platinum card members will no longer have "any time" access to the airlines lounges, but must be travelling with Qantas, Jetstar or a oneworld alliance member to access any Qantas lounge.
Previously Platinum members could access the Qantas International Business Lounge or Qantas Club domestic lounge regardless of the airline they were flying with.
The Qantas Frequent Flyer loyalty scheme has more than 7 million members and is Qantas's most lucrative enterprise.
Poll: Would you prefer more self-service and automation for air travel?
Yes. I want to be able to do these things myself 32%
No. I prefer to deal with a human being, not a machine 68%
