    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Correct - no lounge access here. Only the domestic Club - you would need to re-enter international departure area to get to international business lounge, which would not be permitted without an onward intl flight. Yes.

    How to avoid huge tourist overcrowded destinations?

    Thanks for the feedback. It'll be in late November, so hopefully before it gets too cold and the winter tourist rush arrives. Have heard Bologna is great too - might consider that as an option also.

    How to avoid huge tourist overcrowded destinations?

    Planning for a potential day trip from Florence - do you think it's achievable to see the main sights in Venice with around 9 hrs between train arrival and train departure? Heading to Italy in a few months and have heard mixed accounts about how achievable this is.

    Sydney to Rarotonga online check in issue

    Had a similar experience recently. KIX-BNE booked as a Qantas CR. Was able to initiate the check-in process on JQ website (or app, can't remember which), but was told to check in at airport. We had no issues when checking-in at airport (other than a pretty significant queue), and our...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Finnair have pretty solid availability into LHR… but that of course depends on availability (and willingness) to fly via HEL from somewhere in Asia.

    Issues with QF app and website

    Happy Sunday morning to the IT team in Mascot!

    Issues with QF app and website

    Wondering if anybody else is having trouble accessing the app and website this morning? App gives "Unable to update. Please try again" message and website won't go beyond letting me press the log in button.

    Qantas Seat Selection Costs

    That makes sense then. I suppose I was just surprised that QF would forego the opportunity to upsell PE seats for revenue to regular Y passengers (like VA Economy X for example). The effort required to add that as a feature probably wouldn’t be justified given how few flights it would apply to...

    Qantas Seat Selection Costs

    How strange. Nice perk for Platinums though.

    Qantas Seat Selection Costs

    Are you booked in economy or PE? I'd assume PE seats would only be available to people booked on PE fare (assuming they are selling that on a domestic route?), otherwise only accessible via the usual upgrade process.

    Points refund after second leg schedule change

    It may be worth contacting the reward ticketing escalation email specifically, given it was a reward booking. They seem to be getting better recently at getting things fixed fast.

    Qantas Launching MEL - HNL from May 2025

    Alternatively MEL-KIX, given the popularity of Japan at the moment. Wouldn’t have thought there’d be too many people flocking to Hawaii as a budget destination with the exchange rate the way it is, even with JQ low fares.

    Qantas Launching MEL - HNL from May 2025

    The mention of Sri Lanka is very interesting given this announcement recently.

    China Airlines reward seats using Qantas points

    I made a CR booking with AY and CI flights on the itinerary recently. I was able to select seats for the CI flights through the QF manage booking page in the Qantas seat selection interface.

    Reward booking rant (sorry, I'm frustrated)

    In Jun/Jul agree this is probably best way to go, assuming no Oneworld options available to get to or from YVR. Try doing a search starting/ending the reward booking in Asia. Finnair seems to have pretty good CR availability in and out of Asia in Jun/Jul next year at the moment. Given how...

    Points refund after second leg schedule change

    Did you cancel the flight via CI support/online, or via QF? If the decision to cancel rather than change has not been properly communicated by CI to QF, it will probably take a call to QF (and hopefully not too much more effort) to get a refund processed. But as you say - any refund will...

    Qantas Launching MEL - HNL from May 2025

    That’d be great. Would be handy for one way positioning flights for CR in/out of the USA. Will probably be a few people in Melbourne sad to lose that option.

    First rewards booking on EK coming up as “Premium Economy”

    I also recently had an AA Economy CR seat show as PE on the Qantas ticket. Thought it might have been my lucky day until the AA website confirmed it was not.

    Call Centre Puts Wrong Passenger Names

    100% agree, especially such an obvious error. For what it's worth, I had a great experience making a semi-complex change to CR booking last week. The operator easily understood what I wanted to do, and was very thorough with checking details (including ensuring the change was properly...

    Call Centre Puts Wrong Passenger Names

    It would be worth contacting the reward ticketing escalations email ([email protected]) in this situation. They should be able to resolve the issue without losing the currently ticketed flights.
