    WARNING: BA Changed their Cash upgrade System - implications on QFF

    We should get the original Economy credits. I had many issues with that. So if upgraded with miles, you should get at least the original SCs. So why not with a cash upgrade!

    Advantages of Flying International as SG vs QP

    The benefit of SG over QP is HUGE if you are flying other oneworld airlines: - You have Lounge access on all Oneworld flights (only QF flights with QP) - You get prio-Checkin, prio Boarding and free/better seating will all Oneworld Airlines - Some Airlines give you extra benefits like fast...

    Golds can no longer access EK lounges? [Conflicting Info on Qantas.com]

    Found out that one, too. My guess is: Gold have access to the DXB Lounge because of their complimentary QF-Club Membership, when flying on QF code. Access to other lounges will be a thing of the past.

    Qantas removes Lounge Access for QP members on EK flights from Oct 1

    It is not only for codeshare passengers. Until now Golds have/had lounge access for all EK coded and operated flights. I found that very handy and it is/was quite a nice extension of benefits. Most EK flights from my home do either carry no QF number or the prices for the QF code are about twice...

    Qantas removes Lounge Access for QP members on EK flights from Oct 1

    No one is intended to build a wall (Walter Ubricht, GDR President, a few days before the wall was built).

    Qantas removes Lounge Access for QP members on EK flights from Oct 1

    It is not DXB, but all the European and Asian Ports that may be interesting for me. It seems that they have silently been enhanced. I did not find any note of Golds accessing EK lounges on EK flights.

    Qantas removes Lounge Access for QP members on EK flights from Oct 1

    Just looked at Frequent Flyer - Flying Qantas & Partner Airlines - Tier Benefits So Golds have access to QF and Oneworld Lounges. There is no mention of any Emirates Lounge on that page! It has been all Emirates Lounges except America. This is still stated on the Platinum Benefits. So maybe...

    WARNING: BA Changed their Cash upgrade System - implications on QFF

    Yes, there are two systems: Cash upgrade after booking and airport upgrades. I had problems with the correct credit of airport upgrades with QFF, but that was solved. Yes, CE is rubbish, but the SCs are not! You still can book cheap business fares, but only on a return basis with saturday night...

    ALL QF's 330's to get lay flat Business seating - Including Domestic

    I like the QF Premium Eco, but if you find Business Class fares for the same price...

    ALL QF's 330's to get lay flat Business seating - Including Domestic

    Read: Qantas sees little demand to Asia (on QF planes, because others are cheaper and better).

    WARNING: BA Changed their Cash upgrade System - implications on QFF

    Hi Folks, until now I flew quite a lot with BA. I frequently used to upgrade Economy Tickets to Business Class. They earned full Business SCs and miles. Since a few weeks payed upgrades book into "U" which is the award booking class. There was no note about that change. So the problem is, that...

    Qantas removes Lounge Access for QP members on EK flights from Oct 1

    The bouncer will politely tell them that they are unwanted plebs.

    Qantas club is a scam

    STR was/is a good old BA operated Lounge. So no problem in accessing it with a QP-Card in the good old BA/QF times. ZRH is a third party lounge (the ZRH Lounge). I really miss the BA Lounge access - but on the other hand I do not need it any more reaching LTG in a few months.

    Waiting for DSC offers - do you do it?

    I always get them, when I already booked my travel to Australia. I sadly never could take advantage of them. My Downunder trips are planned well ahead - so only a short window to book does not work for me. So for me it would be better for a program: Get Double SCs for the next booking you make...

    Your QFF Program (Actual) Enhancements Wishlist

    No! When BHKLMY get 100% of Miles (with no minimum) and yield a whopping 280 Miles for a MUC-TXL Flight on AB. AB does not offer a Business Class on their Short- and Midhaul Flights. The product is OK, Seatblocking for WPs and SGs and Premium Seats - so en par with other Euro Business Flights...

    QF Feedback about the changes!

    Just give them a chance. I did not expect the to take back all the changes! (Oh sorry, we were so dumb, please excuse). He just told, that our considerations will be taken serious - this is the only thing I expect. Changing their system is their own decision - may it be clever or not. The...

    AJ's pessimism about QFi

    + Too many Strategic U-Turns + Weak Strategy with Partners (BA,CX,MH,...) + Far too few synergies with Oneworld + Old planes with high operating cost + Cutting routes --> Lower Market Position --> Losses --> Cutting Routes --> Repeat until dead. + High wages So the story repeats: I find many...
