I have found Point Hacks to be full of useful accurate information especially helpful for novice frequent flyers looking to maximise their flight award options.

Last promo certainly better. my J sweet spots are MEL - HKG and with the pathetic Aussie dollar MEL - PER and MEL - BME.

I booked LIS - MXP - BKK - MEL for 2 people in J for July 2016 on TAP and Thai when Avianca had their pre Xmas bonus deal going. Took a bit of effort to screen print availability of individual segments for the Life Miles support desk so they would classify the award as Australia to Europe for...

Hi, We are travelling JQ to WLG from Mel next week at 12.45am. The last QF flight from Mel leaves at 11.35pm. what time would you expect the QC to close? At 11.35 or on boarding slightly earlier or do they stay open until after the flight leaves?

If travelling on Jetstar star class are you able to use the AA 30 day membership to access the Qantas lounge?

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Can someone just clarify for me. I want to book OW J award flights for my itinerary as they become available over a month or so. I figure I book the first leg online and pay the taxes and use up points. For the subsequent...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I am planning a oneworld rtw business award and after perusing this magnificent thread I cannot seem to find when individual airlines release business seats to Qantas FF. I believe Qantas releases seats 355 days out and...

I am interested in members' experience with purchasing star class upgrades at airport check in. I was able to do this on flights to/from MEL - HNL a couple of years ago. Last November we tried for the same paid upgrade at Mel airport but were informed by the very officious jetstar customer...

I have 900K Altitude points to convert to a frequent flyer scheme. This gives 405K FF points. In the past I have used QF for Classic rewards J flights, J upgrades to Europe and RTW J flights. I am able to convert the points to either QF, Singapore or Malaysia FF points. Can anyone advise the...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Hi, I have managed to book CPT - JNB - PER - MEL as the final leg of my Oneworld RTW Award booking with JNB - PER on SAA. The Qantas FF operator had no issues with this, luckily, and happily booked us in for J. I am still...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I am basic bronze only. FYI my booking is: MEL -HKG (CX) HKG -JFK (CX) JFK -LHR - ZRH (BA) AMS-LHR (BA) LHR-JNB (BA) CPT-JNB-PER-MEL (BA, SA, QF). My worry is that I will probably be over the 35K mileage limit if I...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Many thanks again for your help with IB. My last leg involves flying JNB - MEL. There are 3 choices - JNB - SYD - MEL with QF which the only ever seems to have 1 J award seat, JNB - HKG - MEL which has availabilty but takes...

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread Many thanks. Was there avaiability for 2 business seats on July 12 ? I will then take this conundrum up with QF FF operators who have been extremely hepful.

re: "oneworld" award (140K/280K/420K) Planning - The Definitive Thread I have booked a one world RTW business awards journey and would like to change a leg from BOS - ZRH on either 12 or 14 July 2013 to fly with Iberia BOS - MAD IB6166 and then MAD - ZRH IB 3464. Seems simple because my Qantas...

mel - jnb in June - August. Choices appear to be mel -syd - jnb all with QF or mel - per - jnb with QF domestic and South African per - jnb. Probably prefer MEL - SYD - JNB all with QF. Many thanks for your input.

I am travelling to South Africa next year with my wife and would like to use up some of our FF points to book return business fares from Melbourne. As I see it there are two choices with Qantas FF. Classic points required are 384K plus $1500 taxes or cheapest ASA points appear to be about 530K...

I went thru LAX a month or so ago and no issues at night getting on QF94 - airport not too busy. A whole different matter arriving at LAX on QF93 in the morning at 6.30am !! Multiple planes arriving and minimal customs staff working until 7am. Even J passengers waited an hour for the non US...

I flew Qatar Airways business last month to Spain return and I now realize why they won airline of the year and have been so highly rated. Long haul to Doha on 777 had wide, comfortable flat beds, great IFE, attentive cabin crew. Even took off on time. Had 45 minutes to transfer in Doha to 777...

I am travelling to US in April with my wife and wanting to fly business without paying the $8000+ with Qantas. What are my chances of getting a points upgrade MEL - LAX from economy to business with bronze QFF status ? Are any Australia to US routes with QF likely to be more successful. In the...
