    100,000,000 QFF points, or $4,000,000 in cash??

    Not sure that it is a minimum of 30%. If this is a small business (at least a base rate entity), then the corporate tax rate is only 25%, not 30% And to illustrate your point, if this is for retirement - that money is in the company, not your hands for travel. You now need to get it out...

    First rewards booking on EK coming up as “Premium Economy”

    According to a list I found here using google Emirates First Awards use Z as the fare code - which is the same as QF use for Premium Economy awards.

    Qantas - Searching for Business class seats - Error

    What browser are you using? The Qantas booking website can be touchy - some browsers it works sometimes but not others. I can successfully bring up a result screen showing availability (9 July 2025) using Microsoft Edge. Not about to try going any further.

    Melbourne Int-Dom transit, separate ticket

    You might be first to get to immigration for your flight, but it is not immigration that is the bottle neck. After you get through immigration, you then need to wait for any checked bags, and only then can you head for the final customs and bio-security check. You can be passed by many people...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    This. I think the reason Qantas are offering business very quickly is that even their own Conditions of Carriage only apply if the mistake is "reasonably obvious". This is no $100 fare - you are still talking $4200+. Someone who really wanted to push this could argue that the mistake is not...

    Why doesn’t Alliance Airlines use QFF?

    Why on earth would any charter operator / monopoly operator choose to add costs to something where the punter has no choice? The whole point of a loyalty program is to attempt to apply the golden handcuffs so the pax chooses your operation over the competition. If there is no competition and...

    New Luggage Recommendations

    As a data point, have been using 4 wheel Delsey for quite a while now (so long that I have replaced some due to natural wear and tear). Wait until 50% or more off, and buy largely in the sets from places like luggage direct, and really end up reasonable priced. Quite light weight, decent zip...

    Fake Qantas Telephone Scam currently active

    And tracing that through, lead to finding Symbio warned for not investigating alleged scam calls - so the number is associated with a Telco known to have issues with not following up on scam warnings.

    Qantas lounge access at Tokyo Narita

    They will by COS on a OneWorld airline as they have a J ticket.

    Qantas Seat Selection Costs

    SYD-MNL is probably A330 for the dates. QF have a nice little rort going for Row 30 which is the first row presented to an NB (it is actually the eighth row in economy) is a "preferred" seat that they charge for "to be closer to the front to disembark earlier". My bet is that they have...

    QF with Alliance Airlines [Connecting with QR at ADL]

    Whilst it probably ends up the same, as it is one ticket and connecting to International, the baggage allowance would technically be as per the Qatar website. Baggage allowance should be 40kg for J, and as it appears you have LTG there may be some additional baggage - but it is very murky...

    Latitude 28 Degrees $8 per month starting September 2024

    Another long term holder and cancelled. Couldn't put all foreign purchases through it anyway (need to put car hire on Amex for insurance etc.) and the difference between zero foreign currency and the 3 to 3.5% but earning points, less all the hassle with dealing with Latitude means that the...

    Adding domestic leg to Qantas Rewards flight

    Or possibly phantom availability. A bit hard to guess what the website issue is (it has so many). The fact that the previous attempt that didn't meet MCT failed and said that was the reason gives some hope that it is not a block on a domestic connector.

    Adding domestic leg to Qantas Rewards flight

    That's when you call up to get it done over the phone - and get them to waive the assistance fee as the web site won't let you book it.

    Adding domestic leg to Qantas Rewards flight

    Does seem long, but it is the filed MCT for UL-QF D-I in Melbourne. They are the only incoming that QF have filed with such a long MCT - everything else looks like 90 minutes/

    Article: The Ultimate Qantas Economy Seat Guide

    The other thing you have to love about QF on these A330 - row 30 set as preferred seating ($20 trans Tasman) to "sit closer to the front so you can disembark faster". For a non-status, this is the first row shown in Economy, so probably lots of people thinking they are paying for the front row...

    Article: The Ultimate Qantas Economy Seat Guide

    Got to love QF consistency - may be free on the A330-300 on longer routes, but being charged on the A330-200 AKL-BNE and vice versa.

    QF New Zealand aircraft use

    Makes sense. Looks like the plane departs BNE for AKL at 9:05 arrives 15:15 local, turns around to depart back to BNE at 16:35 (scheduled for 80 minute turnaround), arrives back in BNE at 17:20, scheduled to depart for LAX at 22:00 (longer 4 hour 40 turn) which arrives 17:30 and then turns...

    QF New Zealand aircraft use

    QF119 BNE-AKL turns around and comes back as QF126. Looks like (at least for the one we are booked on in November) that it is (at least sometimes) the long haul version of the A330-200 with the seat back screens in Economy.

    Rex in voluntary administration, ending all 737 services

    Yes. Depending on the bank that issued your card, and who Rex banked with, you may or may not encounter push back, but if goods or services are not delivered, that is ground from a credit card chargeback (but you would need to wait until after the flight was due to be taken). As most travel...
