    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    The points plane flight is ex Sydney on the 16th of June - however there is an inaugural flight on the 14th I’m sure there’ll be plenty of coverage of both

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    Sorry I missed one important word on my post - there are currently 7 vacant Business class seats I have no idea on economy loadings and agree it would be a killer on that flight to endure it in economy

    Qantas to Launch SYD-AKL-JFK (June 2023)

    Interestingly there are currently 7 vacant seats showing on the seating plan for that flight on the 16th. So not sure they’re allowing new bookings as awards as nothing is showing up in Business class when you try an award booking

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    I’m doing that status run between 26 and 30 May as I wanted a couple of nights in Auckland - even get to see Hamilton (in an Arena setting) in Auckland on the Sunday night during its limited season over there - that’s a real bonus for me As I live in Sydney I tacked on economy flights from...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Sorry I can’t help with lower SC runs but here’s one that might help for those looking around 600 or so Gold Coast - Melbourne - Sydney - Auckland - Sydney - Gold Coast in Business will give you 620 SC including the DSC bonus ones - cost is around $2500 Your $4-5 per SC is a good price to aim for

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Look at the table for earn rates under the section that says “East Coast USA/Canada or Europe” - that covers it doesn’t it?

    If you clicked on the link in the email addresses to you without logging in you only get the redirect to the confirmation page - which has no personalisation on it. I’ve taken the screen shot and I guess it’s time stamped so hopefully will suffice if I strike problems getting the flights...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    QF145 on 27 May is one example of an A330 - but I agree they are using the 737s on some of the flights which in the past have been A330s

    Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

    Same here - omg good luck trying to get that credit refunded - the “service centre” agents are beyond unhelpful and want signed stat declarations (not kidding!!!) about when and what I paid and more paperwork to try and get the unused portion refunded I’ve almost given up but am considering...

    Flybuys Survey posing Qantas Points Option

    As if Woolworths would standby and let that happen Of course Fly Buys and their agents can float balloons on possible scenarios but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen Does it suggest that Fly Buys isn’t getting what it wants out of its existing partnership with Virgin? That’s a little...

    Point Club Plus - Sharing of Qantas Club membership under consideration

    Got the survey on Friday and had already given them a serve about this issue in the comments in the early part of the survey so was happy to see it come up as a specific question.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I have the same status and have had no issue getting through to the call centre multiple times over the last month or two to make changes to bookings, resolve flight credits etc and the agents are in Australia and know what they're doing - they should add getting your phone calls answered by an...

    Air NZ 'Touch of Gold' status match

    Hmmm….just two months after the border between Aust and NZ is due to open to non NZ citizen Australians. Might have to do a J class long weekend (in the middle of winter 🥶 no less) to lock it in for another year to cover off Star Alliance status Interestingly my Air NZ Gold and Star Alliance...

    I’m more concerned about no complimentary pyjamas 😂 Yes I’d read that about the lounge access but it doesn’t worry me - I’ll slum it in the Maple Leaf lounge (I guess it’s like the difference between the Qantas First and Business lounges in Sydney)

    Yes, I scored 2 x J class award seats on AC33 YVR-SYD on 1 June 2022 this morning - very happy to score those as it burns some Velocity points and provides a direct 15 hour flight (I had a JAL award booking via Qantas - Seattle - Narita - Haneda to Sydney which I've now cancelled) Anyone got...
