The loss of comped upgrades disappeared when Lindsay Tanner quite rightly negotiated with several airlines and got lower fares for the Government but no FF points for the pollies. https://www.governmentnews.com.au/frequent-flyer-perks-discontinued/ As an unintended consequence comped upgrades...

With the price they want for it I will not be giving up my Bega peanut butter. But I do wish they would bring back their cashew butter.

Though I gave ways to get around it. though I looked up my history and my Google search was - qantas staff who have worked for politicians. The AFR was the top hit and still gives me the whole article. To any one who thinks one side is better than the other read about Andrew Parker's house...

I can see NH from Australia in J now on aeroplan. Not that many but better than QF.

The AFR has an account of the number of QF execs and senior staff who have worked for politicians of both sides. staggering numbers. https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/inside-qantas-revolving-door-with-parliament-house-20241031-p5kmt5 PS I got the whole column by googling the title. and there...

However searching for SYD-HND redemptions on seats aero the only J awards I can see on QF up to 21.10.25 are Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Looks like a fairly miserable search. But you can get direct J flights on NH through aeroplan on a few days.

The interesting thing is that if you are a Senator you don't have to declare any membership of an airline lounge as it is available to all members. They changed their own rules in 2019. In point 12 here...

With Wise transferring to Japan to pay the lawyers the $23000 had to be done in 3 payments as you run into the $10000 limit. Then the lawyers had to produce a few pages of proof they were genuine and waited 2-3 weeks before it got into their account.

But we haven’t experienced that with me still OWE and Mrsdrron OWS but we have 12 J sectors on JAL this year so probably makes a difference . Sadly never again.

JAL limit children to under 2 for pre boarding and they check the passport to make sure they are under 2. Plus also check BPs of those in premium lines.

A warm welcome @hill .

Well some are only on special occasionally so if a booster is one of these that we buy anyway so be it. But there is another problem 4. Of Mrsdrron's boosters passed the test to buy though only 2 were in stock. This used to happen a lot when we were more frequent WW shoppers.

Well I am the outlier thanks to my excellently timed decision to chase VA status in June this year. I got silver in September and will hit gold in February but unless there are further stages of this reform I should be easily able to keep it for at least 4-5 years. I initially thought i might...

I had been thinking the same thoughts as @RooFlyer . Maybe we are both aliases for @JohnM . :cool: ;)

Back at Tziki Bar in Forest Glen today. A plate of lamb ribs each with a shared roast cauliflower salad. A glass of Sav Blanc for Mrsdrron and a pint of an IPA from the brewery next door for me Maybe a good place for a Sunny Coast AFF meet up.

A warm welcome @Nathb . We will have to organise a Sunny Coast get together. Will think about it. Maybe early next year.

Though I can find many AP redemptions but on the last couple of occasions I searched lifemiles I could find no J awards at all. I do mean zero. And that included several TG routes.

Well for the first time in 12 months I got 4 boosters. All things we buy but by a ? coincidence all on special this week at calls. also 20x points on selected items. Mostly what i used to buy in Tasmania such as Cripps. Mrsdrron got spend 0.01 cents per week for 2 weeks for 2000 points. Maybe I...

I'm not sure but possibly he had the odd sip or 2 in the CL before he was taken to his own plane. If he didn't then why the heck did they dis invite him. Still not a good look for QF dis inviting him when he didn't vote the way they wanted.

The LM website now is showing absolutely no J availablity for me on routes that usually had at least some. Worst thing is you can't use seats aero to alert you for LM availability now.
