    Fare/Upgrade/Status Visibility

    I think it definitely comes up with something meaningful on the screen when you scan for arrivals access as a Plat as both myself and travel companion (both WP) accessed the SYD DOM J lounge on arrivals yesterday. When I scanned my BP the staff member looked at the screen and goes "Wait that's...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Was this in MEL? I was in the SYD F lounge for breakfast this morning (5th June) and it was still the autumn menu.

    Jetstar no longer selling Max bundle in Economy

    I use Jetstar extensively and purchased a Starter Max bundle on every single Jetstar flight without fail. The inclusions of the Max Bundle made flying JQ an attractive proposition for me. Not a fan of the new bundles, especially "Flex Plus" now earning at a lower rate and reduced baggage...

    Oh you’re right going off this recent AFR article. Goes to show exactly why you shouldn’t take Wikipedia as gospel! https://www.afr.com/companies/tourism/this-tiny-airline-wants-to-give-the-big-guys-a-run-for-their-money-20240527-p5jguw

    Fiji Airways to become full oneworld member and adopt AAdvantage program

    QF’s stake in FJ is actually quite significant at 46% (according to Wikipedia). 52% is held by the Government of Fiji and the remaining 2% by the governments of other Pacific nations.

    Q Bag Tags unavailable for purchase?

    QF saying that the Q Bag tags are "redundant" because of in-app tracking is bizarre. As we all know the Q Bag tags were never a tracking device — all they ever did was act as a replacement for the paper based tags and in fact they work completely fine with the app based tracking when in use. App...

    Short turnarounds: Have you flown back from your destination with the same crew?

    Happens quite regularly on QLINK. I've flown to SYD-BXG in the evening for positioning and returned the next morning. Obviously going to be the same crew since they overnight. Had another instance where I had the same crew also on SYD-BXG but a week apart. Two cabin crew, one brand new - was...

    Jetstar - What happened to the butter chicken?

    Here's a photo of the lasagne option. I had this on a recent flight from DPS. It wasn't bad - mine had quite a bit of mince so at the time I thought it was a passable replacement for the butter chicken. For comparison here's the butter chicken from a trip in November just before it was...

    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 April 2024

    Got an e-mail from Optus today advising that the partnership has ended and that I'd only receive points until Apr 2025 and that the next 12 months worth of points would be credited in advance, in quarterly instalments. I agree with this. The way roaming works with Optus is a real pain. By...

    Did I book this flight during the double status credit offer?

    Ah OK. I'm guessing this is because your tickets were revalidated rather than being reissued. Did you get new ticket numbers? If so, the e-ticket receipt should display a new date. If the tickets were simply revalidated then the ticket number wouldn't have changed and the new e-ticket receipt...

    Did I book this flight during the double status credit offer?

    For the date the ticket was issued yes, but not the PNR create date. I just got an updated e-ticket receipt due to schedule change today and the e-ticket receipt has the date the ticket was issued but the PNR was created months before that.

    Bumped off oversold flight as a WP

    Before COVID, QF used to send "Flight Switch" text messages to pax on heavily loaded flights offering gift vouchers to move flights. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/travel-info/flight-switch.html I think the main intent was the revenue opportunity. The tech allowed them to safely "oversell" a...

    Credit Card Offers Amex Platinum Card Benefits, Offers & Discussion

    I completed the form last week and got the confirmation e-mail but still no upgrade. I might give it a few more days and then try my luck with the customercareau (at) hertz.com e-mail address. Has anyone successfully been upgraded to Hertz PC?

    Adding flight segment - Diff availability for new and existing booking

    Damn! Thanks for the update on this. That is a huge shame. 😣

    Adding flight segment - Diff availability for new and existing booking

    It means that when a call centre consultant searches for availability from within an existing booking (the "PNR availability") to make changes, the availability they see is different to what they would see if they were creating a new booking from scratch ("general availability").

    Did I book this flight during the double status credit offer?

    If you can't be bothered calling QF and you want to find the PNR creation date (which is what matters for DSC) you can enter the booking reference and last name into My Booking on the Malaysia Airlines website. It will show up under "Date of issue" up the top of the page. Just make sure that...
