Good move by Qantas and they should take this to the whole International route.. Once flying from US , I saw almost 90% bus class empty and why bother with such a model when you can get good will and money/points from customers. I remember when I fly United, they always upgrade before even my...

What ever the issues with Qantas, there are no comparison to VA and QFF since QFF is a better global product , QFF got better support and nicely supported by the One world alliance... QFF is a 5 star product and VA is a 3 star product ...

You should try Tok to Syd using Haneda airport since it is much closure to Tokyo than Narita and plenty of Bus. class to Sydney via Haneda. If you try Narita, Qantas always try to put you via Brisbane.. Haneda also short journey via train or taxi.

Re: One world Round The World Business booking using Qantas points. Yes, 1500 is for taxes.. Difficult part was from spore to london at booking time but last week more flights were released by BA and I got hold of that.. Other than that all others were ok and few flights between NY and HK...

Re: One world Round The World Business booking using Qantas points. I am 6 weeks on this trip with staying at Grand Hyatt's in every city using my Hyatt points which got a great guest service with life points.(Syd-Spore-London-NY-HK-Tokyo-Sydney).

I can see your pain re. the whole FF issue. In 80's and 90's we had good FF programs all over the world and Qanats was great those days. Only Airline I got upgraded with out asking was United and Cathay and I do not know it was due to my employer which is one of the biggest network companies in...

Re: One world Round The World Business booking using Qantas points. Yes, it is Cathay flights and duration is 16 hrs... I did not realized this and I am used to long trips with 28 hrs+ with breaks but 16 hrs one segment is going to be fun...

One world Round The World Business booking using Qantas points. Last friday I got two business class tickets from Qantas using points.. 280K each ticket with $120 booking fees for two and $3000 for fees for two. Traveling in July 2017, Syd-Lon-NY-HK-Tok-Syd. 6 Weeks total travel time. Qantas FF...

@Pushka "The OP said the security in Dubai was poor." Sorry for the misunderstanding, My point is opposite, meaning it is a bad police with no respect to rule of law..

@Pushka, Sorry I don't follow you, care to be more elaborate ? Re. Airline, so many of them are going bad to worse, but you have to give them credit if they deserve it.. Re. transit points, it is so important due to time and emergency and the fun part of the transit point. I am not sure about...

Last two travel to Europe via Dubai with QF and EM was not that good experience even though I love Dubai lounge and food. One thing I hate is, the moment you are out of the plane and before transit you have to go through this hideous security barrier which I have not seen anywhere. After flying...

My advise is to take it and offer to your wife.. My past experience is mainly that we were offered Bus. to 1st class and once Tom Jones and his Son were behind us. Lovely guy to have a chat. Most offeres came from United and Cathay and JA. Qantas once. United due to my work with major US company...

I suppose Qantas is changing and seems to value business customers more than usual traveller... I am Qantas Life Gold and will use ApacJ with them. Since I hate going via Dubai to UK, I use BA or Sing Air for European travel. Removing via Singapore for UK, pissed off so many including my kids...

My Profile preference is front window and almost always I get that.. So many times I was asked by the attendant , if I can move due to couple request to stay together. My first question is where do I sit and almost all the time it was a coughpy seat and I politely refuse. One exception is side by...

Citi Platinum with QF also start to limit points from1:1 after 4K/month and anything after 4K/month get half points.. Pls. check the 4K since number is around that. Whole system will start from April/May this year. I always use Amex for business and got few millions points. Get a Amex Rewards...

For some reason some airports in US have more than single bus. and 1st class lounges and next time pls. check the lounges before you travel. LAX and SF lounges are not that good even 1st class lounges are basic. Once I was told no breakfast after landing at SF early morning, 1st class lounge...

Few months ago, I got BA Bus class from syd to Spore, one way for 100K points and 500 dollars taxes. I thought it was a good bargain. Few yrs ago I took Japan Air, Syd-Tokyo-Amsterdam return and got almost 600 status points.. Good for a one trip.

<redacted>. App warn me 3 hrs before syd-melbourne flight which I think, was around 7 pm. Thats gives almost no window for second guess. Qantas used to warn via SMS when this happened and I have been there so many times. But this time no sms and nothing. BTW Directors some time go economy if bus...

I have been flying more than 50 yrs global and 10 yrs almost every week overseas... So I know how this works. Some people here don't get it or being sympathisers that working with some agenda.. Or did not read the article and ingest what is all about. Some are still giving excuses about Qantas...

More excuses... <redacted>
