The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

Is there a trick to find the other airlines booking references when booking reward seats on QF points but flying JAL and Cathay please?

For both JL and CX, the booking references are the same as the QF reference provided when booking the reward seat.

Hello! I've booked a Qantas business class ticket from Melbourne to Broome. The first leg to Perth is on an A330 in business class, followed by a 3-hour layover in Perth before continuing to Broome on a QantasLink A319, which only has economy seating.

Am I eligible to access the Qantas Business Lounge in Perth during the layover? I also have a Qantas Club membership.

Thanks!

We were granted business class lounge at Perth.

Ended up flying economy all the way MEL-PER-BME after not receiving upgrade request. We both have Qantas club only. My elderly father was assisted in a wheelchair from Melbourne check-in. After arriving in Perth I mentioned staff we were going to wait in lounge (expecting regular lounge) before Broome flight. Staff wheeled him directly to business lounge (probably easier access for everyone on ground level). Excellent lounge - comfortable and polite staff. Qantas staff have always been outstanding in helping my father navigate the airport and aircraft boarding etc. Thanks, everyone for your answers.

And, for airlines such as AA, go to Qantas Manage booking and Flight Details. You should see text such as:

That's good to hear, and you had a good trip to Broome. The Qantas staff, Ground, Cabin and Flight crews, make Qantas what it is - pity about the management.
