    A Qantas "Virgin" Flyer questions

    If you do a points upgrade - as opposed to an ASA (Any Seat Award) you dont get the extra SC's - you only get the original fare level SC's I have a suspicion that using the voucher will impact the SC's earnt on that leg - but others will need to confirm that Seems the easiest thing is to make...

    Re: Requalification timing and Status Upgrade - It's all in the timing - but what hap True - but all they'd need to do then is have the system rerun the query post the dates of the planned flights and see if they needed to process the Gold renewal - or issue at the new level at that point

    Travel from Hyde Park/St. James to Sydney Intl Airport

    It may well be a "Bank holiday" but it is certainly NOT a public holiday in Sydney - therefore all services and the associated mass of humanity who use them will be in operation on 6 August 2012

    The $45 pass has been sold - not to say another wont be available but I thought that one was an easy and cost effective solution to the OP's dilema

    One Complimentary Qantas Club Invitation, Two Travellers...

    In reply to your two points: You say its not the "best" form to ask a complete stranger in the lounge to guest someone else in when you're on a Guest pass yourself - I'd say it would be more appropriate to say its not "acceptable" form.
