TO be honest it appeals versus having to overnight in NZ for the Air NZ options.

Prob cheaper to just buy Scoot tickets after you factor in QFs taxes etc They have also been pretty stingey in not releasing any premium awards 330 days out like they used to.

I doubt their is much incentive to offer great sale fares whilst capacity is still lacking (ie no china carriers to dillute yields) and demand high.

And this is EXACTLY the behaviour Qantas want you to do ie redeem non air rewards.

Domestic seems to be ok... I was referring to the lack of international awards.

It's all well and good earning with AA, BA etc instead of QF.. but at the end of the day if QF are not releasing premium seats at 330 days like they used to (and may not at all on a flight) it makes their program a little less desirable.

Ha - AJ leaving... as if. the guy will hold on for as long as possible. It's his gravy train. Even the Jetstar CEO saw the writing on the wall that AJ wouldn't be leaving anytime soon and decided to pack it in rather than wait another 5 years.

If you aren't ticket on the same PNR then even if it was T1 to T1 you would have still needed to collect your luggage and recheck. If on one ticket then the bags would be tagged through so you could use the airside transfer bus.

Rex and DL have not even mentioned they will be frequent flyer partners. QF interline with all sorts like Lufthansa and Thai Airways... doesn't mean anything other than being able to sell the flights on one ticket and thus allowing you (and your bags) to be checked in all the way through.

I use award hacker to find out the pricing for different FF programs. https://www.awardhacker.com/#f=Melbourne&t=Tokyo&o=0&c=j&s=1&p=1 Warning.. it does really highlight how high QF redemptions are compared to peers!

Thats right they are for tech crew (not cabin crew).

Cabin crew aren't permitted to have rest in the business cabin so they should not be in 3G/J.

With Jetstar at 3 daily and 4 daily some days over the holidays it shows there is the demand out there.

I think the next QF CEO will be Liv (QF Loyalty CEO) or Vanessa (CFO).

How is CCO to CEO a demotion? If anything I would of thought she would of been out the door given the failings under her watch.

Amex Plat Charge card- spent 100k over last 12 months. Called to cancel ok Ill do that now for you. Make sure you cancel all direct debits etc. I then ask if they have an offers to stay. No - no offers I'm closing your card. Card is closed.

QF/QR only have a relationship because of Oneworld requirements. Given QF's partnership with EK it is not surprising. You can't even have DOH as a start/end point on some QFF searches so I would say the restriction comes from QF not QR. As for comments about QFF availability. A friend is a...

Isn't the usual QF answer they can only rebook you on another flight with reward seats. If none available you can cancel and refund.

I've seen very limited JQ/QF award availability next year on routes that you would often at least see Y seats. JQ seems to be quite restricted.

QF availability is worse. Grass is not greener.
