    Have you Stuck with QF?

    Same here. DPO! Hence Qantas. Every year i think of canceling the Q CLUB mship and each year I reluctantly renew. Maybe this August I'll bite the bullet and stop club mship.

    Qantas Club disappoints

    As far as i could see i was accompanying my elderly mother and was assured we would travel together and that what would happen to my ticket would happen to her. Both of us should have been kept together regardless of what happened to the rest of the family. And apart from that i found out that...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    It just annoys me that status access is so different from paid membership lounge access. I always seem to misread and misinterpret and end up bwing disappointed. I used to be platinum for a decade plus but now just pay - which makes lounge acess denial even more annoying. ...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    Yes, very explicit correct. But once when flying frm cairns to devonport on a qantas ticket i was routed on an international jetstar segment from cairns int. to mel despite me being fully domestic. I was not allowed into the cairns int. Airport Qantas club lounge. That really got my knickers in...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    Today i was at the singapore T1 Qantas.clb lounge where they told me i would be welcome if they were actually open despite being on a Jetstar ticket/plane. In the past I've been refused on the grounds that international jetstar tickets never have lounge access outside of Australia. My biggest...

    best Europe deal in economy for June /July

    Bali is a cheap fare at the moment with jetstar and from there to KL to pick up an etihad or Qatar ticket from KL to LHR and back to Oz would see you flying the whole trip for $1500 perhaps depending on dates/destination...

    Any suggestions as to best value econ fare o/w to Asia from SYD/CBR?

    I did not find the great Jetstar flight specials on the usual booking engines (I forgot Zuji) but did on Jetstar's website. I am now flying Syd-Bali, have 2 nights in a nice hotel to recover from flight (I have cystic fibrosis and flying is tough on me) then onwards to coughet where I will be met...

    Any suggestions as to best value econ fare o/w to Asia from SYD/CBR?

    Perfect thank you, I tried booking. I'm too tired now it seems, will try again tomorrow morning. Filled in all the fields, added wrong credit card number and then it timed me out!! Part and parcel of cheap carrier fares.

    Any suggestions as to best value econ fare o/w to Asia from SYD/CBR?

    I've been looking to buy a fare to Asia in mid February from Canberra/Sydney. Though my destination is Langkawi I could fly to Singapore, KL, Bangkok,... and enjoy myself for a few days before making my way to Langkawi, Malaysia. I am a QC member, but they always let me down so I am not...

    Etihad Singapore to Australia via Europe?

    Thank you very much! That works well for me too. I'm just not familiar with these two airlines.

    Etihad Singapore to Australia via Europe?

    Geez, I thought I had a huge bargain :) Looks like it would have been even cheaper to fly from KL :) Ah well... Still a bargain, need to remember that these fares are so much cheaper from KUL etc. A lot also depends on the plummeting value of the Aussie dollar, and now is not a good time :(...

    Etihad Singapore to Australia via Europe?

    Wow, not sure how it works out the cost, but I had to book a flight from Singapore to Amsterdam and then to Canberra (May-June 2016). The Etihad website quoted me SGD1200 (about $1200!), which I consider a bargain. It also allows free stopovers if i wished in India or AbuDhabi etc. Too bad I...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    Well I just knew I was flying cairns to Tasmania and kind of assumed I'd have access. Turns out I was put on an international sector Jetstar flight... I was lucky to have noticed I was departing from the international terminal!. Had no idea it wasn't a Qantas club. Same when I flew from Sydney...

    Must say never considered disabled toilets. That would work perhaps except seems unfair to use one for 40+ minutes...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    Seeing the Qantas logo on the signs is not enough. I point that out to them and say they are a member of the same alliance but that doesn't give me access to their lounge despite flying with them (my recent example of this was the Malaysia airlines lounge in KL when flying Malaysia airlines from...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    Yes, of course that was a nice gesture. They also apologised. I was silver in those days and it was a paid for ticket. It was also aligned with my mother's ticket and was specifically assured that whatever happened to her would happen to me - as she needed my help. I write Qantas these things as...

    Qantas Club disappoints

    Ah, see, that is new to me. I do not fly that often and did not realise there was a difference between a paying QC m'ship and privilege access. Still,... If loyalty doesn't give me a priority on upgrades even with qantas why be loyal, and if QC m'ship gives me the reduced privileges across the...
