I always go to the Fyshwick depot. It's corporate, while Mitchell is a franchise, hence the difference. If you want a trouble free ride, just pay for the all-inclusive insurance. As someone who's using a corporate code, it's not all that expensive, and will save you a lot of hassles.

I'll stick with seats.aero, thanks.

This is going to get quite messy I think. Will be interesting to see how my Etihad flight goes in a few weeks time.

Good for you. You've made your decision and it works for you. That's what it's all about,

Yes, that's probably what I would have done. I don't think it would have been a problem (either way).

That's interesting. Many years ago I was flying EK in Y from DXB to SIN (I think) in a middle row seat (just lucky I guess) and my seat neighbour (a lovely British older man) did seem to like the odd red wine. I was also drinking red (miini bottles of course), but at a moderate rate. My...

I'm not getting too excited about it right now. It's Qantas we're talking about, right?

Yep, my bad math. But still pretty good. seats.aero helped.

Well, in the end, I managed to find a half decent PC+ CR status run from CBR in September. Business Class CBR-SYD-BNE-MKY R/T for 58,000 pts and $500, giving a return of 224 SC.

The answer is simple. Just don't fly into MEL at stupid time (and yes, I have lived there, but not now thankfully).

Dream? And when you say Brit do you include Australian citizens that were born here? What an odd (even offensive) statement.

Of course, this all on your own dime.

No, snuff the candle out! Bain might have "rescued" VA, but their American approach wasn't what was needed for Australia (well apart from the money). My view, based on how VA2 has developed, is that it might have been better if Rex had won the argument (not the cheap American takover of REX...

I imagine that your travel may be funded by your employer. If so, that's fine, as I've been in a similar situation in the past too, and then lost everything (almost) with Ansett. But from the perspective of people like me (self-funded travellers), things may look a little different. Just an...

Yes, indeed, but I think the issue is that what works for you now may not after your FFP's upcoming changes (whatever they may be). A bit of a coughshoot generally. Just a generic comment....

Ok that's your approach. Others may have a different point of view, which are no less valid in the overall scheme of things. Just sayin'

Well, I've just requalified for PC+ until Sep 2027. Seems that it's down the gurgler now. Thanks Qantas. Talk about stringing people along.

So which one would you go for?

Very much a flight attendant attitude thing IMO. I've found that in business on Qantas international flights they tend to err on the side of trying to give you too much rather than too little. I've never been refused a drink on a plane, but some airlines (eg some of those from Islamic...

Interesting that they do this for CBR-OOL, but not CBR-MCY. I guess it's because the CBR-SYD-OOL route used to be a sweet spot for spending points and earning SC's, and they've put a stop to it. Just like you can't book a reward CBR-SYD-CGK these days. It forces CBR-MEL-SYD-CGK (at a higher...
