    QF Online Booking Confuson using Points

    OK, I'm obviously missing something here. Trying to book a Syd-MAD trip for next year. Will need to be economy due to declining points in my account! Couldn't see anything avaialble, so tried CDG. (we can get a cheap flight from there to MAD) Multi City v Regular Booking? The last couple...

    EK Dubai Lounge Alternative?

    It was probably that one. Had direct access down a lift to the boarding gate. Very big Business Lounge. 2 large buffet areas, other speciality food areas, 5-6 separate seating areas, some with dining tables. Capacity of many hundreds of people I would guess. And it was packed!

    EK Dubai Lounge Alternative?

    I wouldn't have a record of that sorry. But I take the point. There are many lounges! 1725429300 I'll try to check. Though it was huge........ Think Q Club Sydney x 3 at least

    EK Dubai Lounge Alternative?

    Thanks for the feedback. I only asked as the DXB lounge whilst large, was so full when I was there, it was hard to even find a seat, let alone a quiet area. Maybe it is not normally that busy.............

    EK Dubai Lounge Alternative?

    I'll confess that I'm not 'that' frequent a flyer these days, but on trips to Europe from Australia have tended to fly Emirates. (I gave up using Qantas as I can't use QF points to upgrade a QF flight as it's on an EK aircraft anyway.......) On my last trip to Europe I got sick both ways...

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    I'll probably be leaving from Paris or Madrid, but if it was London, it's easy to jump on a cheap flight to somewhere else....like Paris or Madrid.

    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    Note to self. Bring a nice sandwich :rolleyes: Talking of sandwiches. I seem to recall in my early flying days some 55-60 years ago......when dad was a pilot, we used to fly all over the place on 80-90% discount tickets. I think it was Aer Lingus that had the most amazing ham sandwiches! I...

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    We ended up booking SYD-MEL-DEL-CDG-LHR. getting off in Delhi for a few days. All in Biz Class. Now looking at some creative returns. As we are travelling around Europe a bit, we have a range of departure cities. Paris, London, Madrid, Frankfurt, Rome......... Coming back through US seems...

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    Yes, good points. A lot of variables. Menu options Local ingredients Local catering company Equipment on board to prepare/reheat/serve the food..... Though having said that, I've never had a bad seat or bad food on a 'real' Qantas Business class flight anywhere. This really was barely above...

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    Hard to tell with the Catering. Certainly not up to Qantas standard. Luke warm soup etc. Dishes were certainly not QF standard. But it may have been down to the prep, who knows. As we'd eaten in the club, we just went to sleep...... It was AY aircraft and crew. AY safety video etc. Nothing...

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    A350-900? Looked at some YT videos. They seemed OK. Pity about the food. I thought Air France might be good :rolleyes: We only have 1 hour between flights at CDG. Very close! So plan to travel with only hand luggage!

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    I ended up booking a couple of flights and have cancelled the unwanted one. Seats and flights seemed to change by the hour. So I grabbed one, and looked for a better one the next day. The cancelled one was Biz Class x 2 Sydney, Taipei, Shanghai, Helsinki, London. I wasn't too keen on the last...

    Creative Routes Sydney to London

    Hi All, I'm looking to book 2 x CR Biz Class flights ( U? ) from Sydney to London next year. Having spent a few hours trying out options on the Qantas website it would appear that. 1. Seats on a Qantas Aircraft are highly unlikely. Just a few economy seats. 2. That a more 'creative' route...

    Are these releases of seats anounced, or is it just luck if you spot them?
