In December I’m flying JQ from MEL-SYD on a cheap JQ flight leaving from the international terminal after I’ve enjoyed brekkie in the First Lounge. I’m then meeting a friend in the SYD First Lounge for lunch, and then we’re both flying to MEL on another cheap JQ flight from the international...

As a poor old retired senior, I can confirm that the public transport from OOL is brilliant and cheap. I head to the gold coast very often, and when I first started coming up here regularly I was still working. I waltzed out of the terminal in corporate mindset, jumped in a taxi -“take me to...

Not generally, but it depends on the t&c. Usually it must be QF on a QANTAS plane.

I guess of course there’s diamonds in the rough in all the call centres, but in Hobart they are almost, if not all, very good.

I’m P1, and got there through spending money I’d saved from not having European vacations in 2020 and 2021 on business class flights to Europe in 2022 using DSC flight credits from COVID era canceled flights. Plus a bit of other strategizing. And retained it easily in 2023 because of the 1800SC...

My aim is to maximize the points earn through my normal expenditure. You can leverage significant earn, plus a new credit card or two, and PC+ just falls into your lap each year. In 23/24 I’ll get to LTG and the race to accumulate SCs is over (LTP is simply unachievable) so my strategy changes...

Not that it’s much consolation, but when QANTAS canceled a flight forming part of my AMEX travel booked December 2023 status run to NZ (booked during the DSC offer period and flying in the DSC flight window),I sorted out an alternative but emphasized to AMEX that the QANTAS PNR was to stay the...

I don’t mind when they have it so long as there is concurrently a worthwhile Status run on special to be doubled up on

Agree in full - status enables Classic Rewards to be secured where it would otherwise be very difficult. And that’s one of the reasons we are all doing this! I did the same thing this year - points return to SIN, revenue fare SIN to Italy return. Saved $6-7k thanks to the tips in the AFF...

I think you’ll find: $100 excess baggage fee at the airport $50 if purchased in advance

Going back as far as 2016, all DSC offers were in the first half of the calendar year except in 2018 when they happened in both August and October (as well as February).

Paying back jobkeeper (which mainly went to the stood down employees rather than QF anyway) would not garner the airline one iota of goodwill from the types who are currently deriding it.

No they're not giving it to anyone (and fair enough too). But all you have to do is be a FF, have quoted your membership number and have booked (by 21 August 2023) a Qantas (QF) marketed and operated flight for travel between 1 July 2022 and 30 August 2023.

“Gift will be credited within 4 days”. Maybe wait till the last day to select and it might arrive in September.

Wasn’t on mine. You need to update the app and it will appear.

I'm counting on yours posting - I'm in a similar position and plan to use my last one in July 2024 for MEL-LHR-MEL. Will book in 2023 when there is a Europe sale.

The SC rollover doesn’t help with lifetime SCs. They are yours that you’ve previously earned, and are deducted from the number accruing as Lifetime SCs the previous year. In the first year of status support, there was a grant of extra SCs, which did help the lifetime quest, but not so the last...

Request & documentation submitted to QF on 5 July - points and SCs credited on 10 Jujy. Thx for your help.

Business Class (J) from VCE-FRA Business Class (D) from FRA-SIN

😂. I was wondering about that as I have opened a Lufthansa Miles&More account
