    A380 To Fly Special MEL > SYD Flight 23feb24 (QF7168)

    This is pretty cool that they are doing this and I'd love to be onboard. Qantas have issued a media release: https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-a380-to-fly-special-melbourne-to-sydney-flight/ According to Qantas, the impacted flights were later in the afternoon anyway so...

    Qantas Group HY24 Results: more A321XLRs ordered

    Oh good pick up! I'm a design / font nerd and I didn't even pick up that they were using something other than Ciutadella when I was skimming through everything today. Looking at the PDFs they've released today the font they are using is Söhne from NZ-based Klim Type Foundry: Klim Type Foundry ·...

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    QF posted some decent pics on their Insta earlier on - better than what they used in the media release including bonus flight deck shot:

    First Qantas A220 revealed

    As WP, all of row 4/12 and rows 5-9 A/C are being charged at $30. Ouch, that sucks! I think P1's can select at anytime for free however (or is that just for international?)

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Seeing a lot of random errors pop up today, more than usual. I reckon the booking site must be receiving a hammering today. Probably a good reminder to not leave your bookings to the last day of this promo — as historically it slows to a crawl.

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    Are you sure all those sectors are in business? If you go ahead as if you were booking it - it should warn you that some sectors are in economy. Try clicking the "Business" filter/tab on the page, this will force the page to price all sectors in business class, and should show a higher SC earn...

    Double Status Credits promotion (Book by 27/2/24, travel 28/2/24-14/2/25)

    So who just booked a large multi-sector international itinerary? Who do we have to thank for triggering this? 🤣 P.S.: Timely reminder that Qantas has a 24 hour cancel for any reason policy for itineraries booked on qantas.com, departing from Australia and where travel is more than 30 days away...

    Qantas ticket class visibility?

    It's annoying because the Qantas website actually does return the fare class / RBD's in the background along with the pricing data when searching for flights which is sent through to your browser in the API response, however it's not displayed in the UI. So it wouldn't be hard for Qantas to...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I wouldn't be surprised if this never actually got off the ground in the first place. Even as a Platinum, my recalls were mostly futile during 2022 & 2023 when this was supposedly being "trialled", with my calls being repeatedly triaged to hopeless Fiji and South Africa agents after HUACA...

    Qantas research panel

    I got the survey as well. Looks like they are toying with the idea of a "QC Light" monthly, cancel anytime subscription. Includes lounge access to Qantas operated lounges only, does not include any of the other QC benefits such as extra luggage.

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Just a data point for this particular clause in the 20x Apple Gift Card T&C's (emphasis mine): I went to buy 10 variable load gift cards at a store today and they would sell all the cards to me no problems... but would only process one per transaction as they'd been burned before if one (or...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Sometimes they forget to wave the Reward Assistance Fee but easy to get it reversed by calling back up. But I've never had it charged as cash — always as points (4500 domestic/7700 international).

    Woolworths gift card thread

    Looking to buy a decent amount of Apple Gift Cards at 20x points. Aside from using a Qantas Points earning credit card to purchase them, does anyone know of any other stackable tips? For example, I thought about using the 5% extra on WW eGift cards offer mentioned above, but the T&C those cards...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I've never had issues claiming ORC where there has been a schedule change and I've had to request new routing/flights as the replacements offered to me were not suitable. I always send through my original e-ticket to [email protected], copies of the boarding passes from the flights I...
