    Melbourne MH lounge access

    Hi all, I've an upcoming MH128 flight departing 1130pm and was wondering which lounge is accessible at that hour as a QF SG? I understand the Qantas lounge closes after QF93 930p departure? Marhaba looks to be open but not for guests traveling on MH? Thanks

    QF multi-city SCs

    Thanks @kangarooflyer88, great tips there! Didn't realise that about Jetstar so will definitely keep an eye out on that. I'm trying to book something this week although not sure if I can get the necessary approvals. Finger crossed!

    Qantas "Choose your reward" Promo. Select from Double Status Credits OR Double Points [book 25/3/22-1/4/22]

    Any idea if this will still apply if I book a reward flight before 1 April, but will only be eligible for Points Club post 1 April, and where the reward flight occurs after eligibility?

    QF multi-city SCs

    Hi all, attempting a MEL - LHR - JFK - LAX - MEL trip in J later this year. Grateful for your help: How do I calculate SCs for this, in particular the London - New York leg on QF J ticket? What's the best way of maximising SCs? I can justify a more creative routing if the total costs amount to...

    App check-in vs holding out for better

    I selected an Exec room using the app and then asked for upgrade at the hotel. The nice lady painstakingly explained Exec is the upgrade. Oh well I tried!

    App check-in vs holding out for better

    Hi all! Gold here and I booked a Guest Room+ at Hilton Sydney for a 2-night stay tomorrow. My app allows me to check into an Exec room now. I'll only arrive at 9pm tomorrow - what do you think my chances are for a desk upgrade to something better than Exec if I don't use the check-in app? I've...

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    I think any inactive (12 months?) accounts with $6,000 or less gets transferred out. Should be relatively easy to track via mygov if the TFN details were accurate.

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility

    An example of a 70%/30% growth/defensive "market benchmark" fund would be the Vanguard Diversified Growth Fund which presently allocates to Aus large caps (28%), Aus small caps (5%), international shares (33% hedged and unhedged), emerging markets (4%), international bonds (21%) and Aus bonds...

    Qantas offered Cathay SFO lounge to WP on check in

    Yeah the CX lady cross-checked my BP against a printed list which had some names highlighted. I'd expected her to just turn me away just based on the OWS mention on the BP. To her credit, she appeared genuinely contrite and suggested I "try downstairs" instead. Wow congrats on the gate op-up!

    Qantas offered Cathay SFO lounge to WP on check in

    Hey I was on the same QF74 Friday departure! SG on a J ticket and was turned down at the CX lounge at 9.15pm after she checked my name against a list (presumably the WPs and above). Spent a minute in the AF lounge before concluding it's much nicer out there in the general waiting area. On an...

    AA dom upgrade for non-AAdvantage member

    $150 ticketing fee, and remainder $350 is the fare difference (fare I paid was lower than the current fare) or something of that sort. Nothing's never quite clear cut!

    AA dom upgrade for non-AAdvantage member

    Thanks drron but I didn't book directly with AA so I don't think that's available to me! Anyway I called today my travel agent today and it'd cost $500 to change so no thank you I'll stick with the economy seat :)

    AA dom upgrade for non-AAdvantage member

    Morning all, I'm looking to upgrade an upcoming AA ORD-LAX revenue flight in June booked in economy. I can't find a cash upgrade option under 'manage my booking' on the AA website. Is my best course of action to request for that at the airport; do they email these offers in advance? Also, how...

    QF separate PNRs: bags check-in, T-80 rule

    Ah, so for the SYD-MEL-LAX leg, I'd be able to check-in/print boarding passes at Syd dom, but check my bags in at Mel intl? That'd be preferable to my 2nd option.
