Just had a look at the prices then - It mentions in the article that MEL-BNE has been upped. (My 'regular' route) The prices look the same to me ($150/$170 Red e-Deal, $205 SS), except for Business (Now over $1000!!). I've always wondered about that - a Business fare MEL-BNE i believe is WAY out...

Hi, I'm planning a trip from MEL-YVR later this year, leaving late August returning mid/late Dec. My options are to go MEL-LAX-YVR (or similar) on QF, or MEL-HKG-YVR on CX. Both in Y. Given that the price is irrelevant, so which would you people recommend? Lounge access is taken care of...

Mate i'm a bit annoyed. After the fantastic free wireless session I had in Mel QP a few weeks back, getting 300-500kb/s download on my BitTorrent client, I'm now sitting here in the BNE QP getting a measely 12-15kb/s download. It may be because the place is pretty full and a lot of people are...

Hi, I've been tinkering around a bit with the LONE4 I've been planning, and i've come up with this for 460SC's (54032 miles) mel-sin-nrt-bkk-hkg-jfk-mia-mex-yvr-sfo-lhr-hel-mad-tlv-lhr-hkg-akl-bne-drw-per-mel (note: yvr-sfo is seasonal) I'm open to suggestions on how to maximise this. Of...

Hi, I'm planning to take a LONE4 either next year, or the year after. I'm hoping this can contribute significantly to me keeping my SG. I'm trying to max out my SC earn for the trip. I've currently got it worked out to about 450 (approx) for the entire trip (20 stops). What figure should I...

Hmm I was in MEL domestic QP a week or two ago, fired up the laptop, unintentionally left my BitTorrent client open. Had a 180mb download left that finished in about 5 minutes. :) Gotta love that speed!

Hi, I flew BNE-MEL a few days ago (Good Friday), any obviously it was a very full plane. As usual, in the QP i ask the CSM for either a better seat (I got allocated 9D....bleh), or exit row seating. I also ask them to block the seat next to me if the plane isn't full. He allocated me an exit...

What a load of cough from Qantas!!! I emailed QC 2 weeks ago (24 March) asking about this exact same issue. I received a reply 8 days later (Monday just gone) which stated: Oh well. Now I won't have to go through the hassle of pulling the network cable out of the back of the Business Centre...

Hi, I took my first flight today as a QFF SG, and given that I'm now on a higher level than PS, I was slightly disillusioned with the choice of seat I was given. I have in my preference for a Forward Aisle seat, and was given 10C on a 737. (6 rows from the furthest forward seat. I mostly always...

Oh - I should have qualified that statement by saying that i've been a PS for the last couple of years. Even though it only took me two month to get the required points, i am 'finally' a SG!

Oh another question as well. In regards to internet access, i am aware you can use the Telstra Hotspot wireless (For a fee), or use the PC's in the business centre for nuttin, however, is there the facility to connect your laptop directly to ethernet to gain access (without cost) ??? (BNE QP in...

Hi everyone, Finally, after a lot of regular flying, an SC run, combined with the 2x SC offer, i've managed to finally work my way to Gold (700SC's in less than 2 months :p) This also means i finally now get a much coveted QP membership. I have a quick question about this. Do you have to be...

Hi, I have just flown from YVR to LHR a few days ago on a BA flight, and entered my QFF number when i bought the ticket. I've just had a look online, to see if the points were credited. The SC's were credited correctly, (I received 30), however, I only seemed to have gotten 1/4 of the points...

I've been thinking about getting a QP membership, (685), but i'd rather just do $650 of status runs and get the points that way. I could do the BNE->ADL trip twice for $740 (and get 200SC's) - I'd much rather pay that and get the flights rather than give the money straight to QF. I also read...

I'll be about 100-150 short of Gold before the end of the year, depends on how much flying I do between now and then. The year started off good - by end of Feb i'll have 360 SC's, will do another 200SC in flights before year end, but i'm not 100% sure how it'll all work out.

Hi, I'm looking at doing a SC run or two before the end of Feb (I have the double SC's offer at the moment, expires end of Feb) I'm going to be flying ex BNE, and i'm just looking for the best value run to do. I was thinking of doing BNE ADL via MEL, for 184 (Total 368 for 100SC's, $3.68/SC)...

Hmm. This was at the start of last year. Here's one of the quotes I got (I don't have the $1280 one) Date:20 JAN 05 Origin: MELBOURNE Date Of Travel 3 FEB 05 Destination VANCOUVER No...

Hi, I'm planning on a trip to YVR in Jan, planning to fly QF. I remember a year or two ago QF released some good specials to YVR around December time. For anyone in the know, is this something they usually do? I remember it was quite a good fare (about $1280+tax). Any help would be appreciated...

Gday, I'm just about to qualify for Qantas FF Silver in a month or two. I'll have at least 400 SC's by years end. I'm just wondering if anyone could suggest a cheap way to earn another 300 SC's so I could make Gold. I've got til the end of the year. BTW i live in Melbourne. Cheers, Josh
