    Seat Not Ticketed - How Come?

    I'm trying to figure out how and why this happened, so as to avoid it in the future. Short story. I'm in Sydney. My wife has been in Bangkok. We changed her return flight (BKK-SYD) a couple of times recently. She was checking in this afternoon in Bangkok for QF24 to come back to Sydney...

    QF Status points on Codeshare with EK?

    I would have booked it on the QF website directly. Maybe it was originally QF metal and got changed to EK? But it was definitely a QF booking made online and definitely ended up in EK 1st Class (with the showers) Hence my confusion over codeshare upgrades.........because I've had them in the...

    QF Status points on Codeshare with EK?

    Bummer. That's what I thought. Kind of makes codeshare flights unattractive..... But this is wierd...... Last year I flew Bangkok to Sydney on an EK flight (QF Ticket) and upgraded to 1st Class! So does it depend on the sector being flown?

    QF Status points on Codeshare with EK?

    Sorry if this is a dumb newbie question..... But I have spent hours on the QF website and chats with their agents and still can't get a clear answer. Have tried calling but they are always experiencing 'long delays'. Hopefully someone here knows the answer! Next year (April) I need to fly...

    Can Qantas still be classed as a truly 'International' Airline?

    Sorry, not trying to come across with any 'attitude'. I love to fly Qantas and always do where possible. I even fly to the Gold Coast by going to Brisbane so I can fly Qantas! (Not many QF flights in and out of there any more) I'll manage to maintain Gold with domestic flights. But given...

    Can Qantas still be classed as a truly 'International' Airline?

    Sorry if I hit a Nerve....... Not trying to stir anything up, just an observation. Sure I could fly into LHR but then I have to fly an extra leg to get to my destination. (Paris or Madrid) And on EK metal, seat allocations and upgrades seem to be hard to get. As they are code share flights...

    Can Qantas still be classed as a truly 'International' Airline?

    I'v just been reviewing some routes for a trip to Europe next year. Ideally flying an and out from Madrid or Paris, I'd prefer to fly Qantas metal as I have Gold status. More chance of upgrades, access to lounge etc. So I thought I'd look at the routes I could pick from. London via...

    Sydney to Paris CDG - Newbie Questions

    Many thanks. Though my understanding is QF Don't use QF metal via Dubai anymore, only via Singapore. As I need the status points to get to LG As well as an upgrade chance), I'll probably go QF Via Singapore. Midweek is a good idea.

    Sydney to Paris CDG - Newbie Questions

    Many thanks. The difference in points for the code share flights must have been the number of sectors. Kind of begs the question, "why fly a code share flight" though if wanting an upgrade. Though to further complicate matters, I did get a points upgrade on an Emirates flight Sydney-Dubai in...

    Sydney to Paris CDG - Newbie Questions

    Please forgive the rather newbie type questions, but this stuff confuses the hell out of me! I'm flying Sydney - Paris (CDG) - Sydney April 2018. I want to buy economy seats for my wife and I, with the best chance of upgrade to Business. I could go Qantas or Thai. My Thai status is only...

    Double Status Credits

    Sorry to ask a really dumb question, but........ How do you know when Double Status Credits are on offer? Does Qantas send a promo email? Never seen one. Maybe it only gets sent to certain status levels? Do you just trawl the Qantas site in the hope of finding one?

    Is QFF Value Declining?

    This year I didn't maintain my Gold status, hopefully back up next year. Or maybe not...... The difference has been interesting. No real change on the actual flying bit. But....... It's now very hard for me to reach anyone at Qantas by phone. In fact I don't event try anymore. And same...
