I haven't seen a thread on this development yet. In the very early stages so details are understandably vague, but the possibility of a co-branded payment card between Qatar/Visa that would allow you to earn Avios here in Australia could be a considerable threat to Qantas FF dominance. I will...

P.S. another sweet spot for those based in Perth are PER -SIN redemptions (availability OK by international standards but nothing like the choice buffet for domestic redemptions). With Qantas it's 57,000 points + $229. With BA Avios it's 38,750 points + $106 . This comes about about due to...

Great deal but situational use involving comparing the distance reward charts of both BA and Qantas as they're staggered slightly differently along with the different points cost in each category. The recent AFF article published in the last day or so pointed out some nice sweet spots for...

Dear all, I am delighted to inform you that the BA trick worked and I have been able to claim SC on an Avios booking via points club. Thanks again to *A Flyer for the RJ tip to change the booking from Executive Club to Qantas Frequent Flyer. Now, it gets a little more interesting. I've...

Thank you very much - that did the trick!

Thanks Franky - unfortunately not receiving a rejection e-mail, just taken to the Qantas Club page. I think what I'll probably do is try again 7 days out from my flight and if it continues not to work record a video of my attempt and show it to the Lounge Staff as proof that it's through no...

Bread and circuses. Most of this is of little value to me and fails to address my issues with Qantas over the past few months: 1) Terrible customer service. I would far rather the value of that $50 credit being used to train and employ competent call centre staff in South Africa (amongst...

Hi all, I'm flying PER-MEL on QF772 at 06:05 on 10th September paid Y and I am unable to link my Qantas complimentary lounge pass. When I click 'link invitation' I am taken to the Qantas Club homepage (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/the-qantas-club.html) and the invitation fails...

Thanks for your thoughts Danger. I've no idea why they initially decided to reject my claim based on a late departure from CDG that had nothing to do with the issue. Maybe they were just lazy and saw the first flight was delayed and decided not to investigate further. Maybe they were indeed...

A prompt reply from Qatar. 1) This isn't rocket science I'm asking of them. My first e-mail was very clear and to the point so why they couldn't uncover this in the first instance and save me the time in replying is beyond me. 2) I think I'll have to concede defeat here and admit that, even...

Thanks Mattg, interesting to read of another's experience. Albeit from a small sample size of two and separated by a period of 6 years it seems that Qatar Airways has a policy of not 'understanding' EC261 legislation! Unfortunately as my flight was out of CDG I suspect it would be more trouble...

In response to my complaint: I'm told no lounge access by the ground crew at the time of departure, you're told by the app to use Paul Maxence, and I'm now told by their staff that I may have been able to use the AA lounge! What sort of a ship are they running at CDG? 🙃

A reply! ... What do people think? Are they trying to give me the run-around? I don't see how they could have misconstrued my inital query as such. My first e-mail was very clear that QR942 was cancelled and they now appear to be trying to reframe it as a 'missed connection' outwith their...

Strange. It must not have been available to use for Qatar on the day of my flight; why else would they tell me that there was no lounge access available? 😕

3 weeks now and I've still heard nothing from Qatar apart from the original acknowledgement e-mail. Does anyone have any idea how I can escalate this? I sent them a follow up e-mail last week that has also gone unanswered. :(

Hi all, Currently trying to find some Classic Reward flights back to Europe in late November. I've been searching using the Qantas multi-tool as per the example below, and as you can see there appears to be very good availability from Jakarta to Dublin for the month of November (screenshot 1)...

Hi all, I've had a bit of a misfortune while travelling (who hasn't?) with Qatar Airways recently from CDG -SIN via DOH J class on 29/06. Upon trying to check in online on 28/06 I was informed that my initial flight scheduled to depart DOH for SIN on 29/06 @19:45 had been changed to a...

Yeah, something's definitely up; glad to hear it's not just me! Canceled a Classic Rewards flight 5 days ago and nothing's come through: I haven't even received the "an update on your refund request" e-mail from Qantas! I canceled two Classic Rewards flights in January and February and on both...

It seems to have worked, thanks! I've added the flight to my Qantas account too and it's displaying my QFF. Fingers crossed this'll earn me 64SC from Points Club! :D

I finally got through to BA earlier in the week and asked them to change it themselves and this was their reply If you have used your BA Avios to make a booking, we can't remove your BA frequent for your Qantas frequent flyer number. You can't get points for a booking made using your Avios...
