As others have already said, absolutely no issues doing this. I was almost in the exact same situation as yourself last year (my thread asking the same question in the link below). I informed a Qantas member of staff upon my arrival at Perth airport and they ushered me to be processed...

Hi all, I'll be transiting through Doha on my way from Australia to Ireland in the next few weeks on QR. I'm booked in F for the longer first leg and J in the shorter second stage. I have around 2.5 hours stopover in Doha - will I be allowed to use Al Safwa Lounge? If so, is it a similar...

Again, ridiculous excuses by Qantas. 1) it must have been reopened for almost a year now. 2) Capacity limits is a reason potentially to turn some lounge pass holders away if at capacity but not as a blanket rule (surely they can adopt whatever rule the other Qantas lounges use for when they're...

I can't believe they're still trotting out the COVID restrictions excuse - they gave me the same line back in November last year. Qantas - consistency where it matters! :rolleyes: In the end no matter whatever ridiculous reason they've trotted out there's no acceptable justification as to why...

You were upgraded from a King Room to a Club King Room and given Club Intercontinental Privileges? It's not usual IC policy according to articles I've read! https://thepointsguy.com/news/ihg-club-level-upgrades-access/

@BriarFlyer thanks for that!

Hi all, First time looking for awards seats using Velocity points and I'm wondering if I'm calculating my points redemptions wrong or whether there's some fine print in the T&C of the programe that I'm missing that can explain the difference. Planning to book an award seat back on QR from PER...

For an Intercontinental, yes - around $200/night. But that's $200 I'd rather not spend if I don't need to! ;) Although the consensus here is that it's probably not worth chancing my luck and that I should indeed book the day before to be able to check in on arrival! :confused: Thanks everyone...

I'm currently looking at flights to Dhaka and the best option price wise gets me in at 05:05 in the morning. Planning to stay at the Intercontinental Dhaka and estimate that I would reach there around 06:30 -07:30. I'm Diamond + Ambassador and am entitled to early check-in depending on...

Only slightly tongue in cheek question here, but does Qantas know that Perth exists beyond just being a runway? When I eventually managed to sneak a peek at availability looking for a PER - LHR redemption maybe around 40 minutes after the sale started I couldn't see anything except the odd J...

500 error too. I've stopped collecting Qantas points in favour of other programs but was really hoping to offload some of the roughly 400,000 or so I accumulated over the past few years today. They knew that demand would be high so they would have had plenty of time to prepare the website for...

This, but when you add in the synergy of the tool crashing when there's no availability to be found; the incredible frustration of landing on a month with business classic rewards galore only to pain-stakingly click through them all to find out that they're phantom availability and you've got to...

Agreed - also based in Perth and made the decision in October last year to switch my credit card churning from Qantas to Velocity for this reason. I also have a bunch of Avios left over from my time living in the UK and purchased more during a recent 50% bonus sale. It's not as good a value as...

Me too. :( Qantas gonna Qantas. 🤷‍♂️

Not from Adelaide, Sydney or Melbourne. I must confess I did not look at Brisbane as having observed similar flexi awards behaviour at the other four major Australian airports I thought it unlikely Brisbane would buck the trend.

Hotel: InterContinental Amman When: December Status: Diamond + Ambassador Rate: IHGR Advance Booked: 1 King Bed Premium Received: 1 King Bed Presidential Ste Living Area :eek: Amenity Offered: None at check-in. Called reception later and asked for complimentary breakfast; they obliged. This...

Hi all, With the effective withdrawal of obtaining Qatar premium cabin seats via QFF I thought I would be in pole position for once to snag a Christmas award seat from Australia to Europe next year using Avios but I'm beginning to get a sneaking suspicion that Qatar aren't going to make it that...

Thanks for the info! I've got to hope my upgrade will come through then! 🤞

Hi all, I'll be flying DXB - SIN in EK F getting in at 08:25 and then flying SIN - PER in QF Y (although I have put in for Classic Rewards Upgrade) 19:15. It's a long stopover time and it would be nice to have a lounge to relax in, at least for part of it! If my upgrade doesn't come through...

Crew rest seat? I was on QF SIN - PER recently and put in for an upgrade that was unsuccessful. Like you though I saw there was a free seat in J just after take-off before they closed the curtains. When I spoke to the cabin crew and explained I was surprised that there was a free J seat...
