The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

I believe its end of the month of joining.
Mine was Jul 1997, so its Jul each year that my SC goes into the never never, except for LTS (silver) in my case.
About half way there, 3500 I think I am on, yeah, I know, its not much.

For CR booking (non OWA) can i just book as much as I want as long as I don't return to my origin city?

Aka if i start in MEL, i can go back from overseas to Syd for example and continue other bookings. But if I go to MEL I can't add anymore segments.

Asking because I have a dummy before the CR devaluation that I can tack on a lot of flights to.

From the FF terms and conditions:

14.2.6 A Classic Flight Reward Itinerary must contain no more than one departure from the city or country of first departure on that Itinerary.

It applies equally to ‘regular’ as well as OWA.

Hi hive mind, a question about QF lounge access in JNB. I’ve tried searching the interwebs and the forum and still not able to find the answer. And I’ve posted in lounge access thread, so sorry for cross posting, but really want to get advice from those who regularly fly out of JNB on QF.

We are flying out of JNB home to CBR in April. Will be J on QF, and hold WP/OWE status. It looks like QF uses Terminal B which is largely domestic? So what are the lounge options as we will have quite a long transit between our arrival from Vic Falls at around 1340 in Terminal A before connecting to the QF flight home at 1845.

Which lounge does QF usually use, and are there other (better) One World lounges we could try? I’m especially interested in the ability to get a shower. Thanks!

Sorry hit post by accident - was meaning to say, thanks for that link, we had already found that page but it's a bit lacking in details.

It seems there might be 2 BA lounges - 1 in each terminal. This dosn't explain whether it's the BA lounge in Terminal A or Terminal B. You might assume Terminal B but . Mr Seat 0A call QF to enquire and the person on the other end did not even know which lounge could be used before QF64, let alone if there were showers.

Also wondering if you can move between Terminal B and Terminal A airside after you have checked in and done security etc.

An earlier post from @Mattg seemed to suggest that more recently, QF is using the Aspire lounge before QF 64.

Sorry for the dumb questions. I really thought I had a handle on this, but the more I try to nail the details down, the more I realise there are gaping holes in my knowledge.

Does anyone have recent experience in JNB who could help me out?
