    Alaska Airlines no longer shows any Qantas award availability

    If this isn’t an IT issue QF really need to start working on their issues with other airlines. First we had QR effectively remove (almost) all availability for QFF, I feel like another airline has played games with QF reward seats too, but who that is/ was escapes me at this time? And now...

    What's the current state of hot towels?

    This year I have flown J between SYD and HND, ICN, SIN, YVR and had 0 hot towels. For further details, I only started flying QF post covid and have never received a hot towel on QF ever. SQ on the other hand even do (did?) in PE

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    To follow up I returned on 296 BKK > SYD in Y. Almost identical experience but with drink + snack service after take off. Main meal, snack, breakfast. 0 platinum recognition again. The meal service including plate collection took 3.5 hours until the plate was cleared and almost 4 hours until...

    I think I lucked the holy grail….

    As a seasoned QF Platinum FF and a very diligent FF points user. I have never been able to score a EK F from Aus to London. I’ve never even travelled EK. So it certainly isn’t “nothing”. Good job and enjoy the trip. Not sure how many points you have, but I recommend a reward seat (in any class...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    I flew QF295 (Syd > Bkk) earlier this week in Y and actually had a very different experience. The boarding gate was a normal airbridge gate and staff actively policed the business class line/ priority boarding. Even rejecting non premium passengers who made it to the scanner. Once on board...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I got F in QF2 31/07/25 released 🙌 (Platinum) Unfortunately QF1 every date I wanted was declined in all premium classes. Economy was available, so took that and will try for an upgrade.

    Qantas International Schedule changes

    I hate how Qantas leans on jetstar like it’s part of the same airline (yes they own both, but as a passenger it’s a very different experience). Calling this a positive move that now jetstar is daily to “allow” Qantas to redeploy its aircraft. No, Qantas are leaving a route, jetstar isn’t a...

    New Amex statement credits

    Like all offers.. not like the good days. At least its better than last year but $10 off hardly makes a dent on the purchase. Hopefully the retailers have some good in-store deals too which usually helps.

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Aren’t cabin crew rotated through routes (at least with the same aircraft type)? I thought each day they arrive at the airport they could be rostered to go virtually anywhere. So the QF crew could be BKK today, HND tomorrow. But yes I also got yelled at twice in J once because I couldn’t...

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Yeah I complained in a previous thread that for some reason on the old qf23/24 service the QF crew on this flight were always pretty poor. Even in the premium cabins. I couldn’t work out why it was this route specifically.

    Bangkok Airways Boarding Pass and Baggage Interline QF Codeshare

    Hi AFF, I have booked a return flight SYD > BKK > HKT (return) with BKK > HKT operated on PG (Bangkok Airways) with a QF flight number and all of it is on the same booking. Booked as QF 295/ QF 3488 - QF 3455/ QF 296. I have checked the QF website and can only find reference to baggage and...

    Qantas Hotels - Seriously WTF?

    Ive actually been lucky, I’ve found a “sweet spot” with Qantas hotels for some small non chain hotels in regional areas, I’ve found Qantas hotels to be cheaper than other options. One time it was the only place I could book the accomodation I wanted (even direct said sold out). But this is all...

    AMEX QBR Companion Card Offer (No Annual Fee)

    Hello AFF, I received what may be a targeted offer to sign up to the Amex QBR card with no annual fee. This is because I already have the Qantas Amex Ultimate Card. The trade off here is, there is no annual fee every year but no sign up bonus either. Unfortunately I would rather the annual...

    Qantas Hotels Triple Points offers - on again until 12/11/2024

    That is unfortunate, I think I mentioned this on a different thread. For stays in NSW I have found several properties that the Qantas hotels rate was cheaper (only $5-$10 p/n) than other booking providers. Once I use the Qantas hotels voucher it makes it much cheaper. Another benefit is a lot of...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    Same I had revenue qf and a classic award (with qantas points) aa flight from lax and they wouldn’t through check me. This was at the first check in too. The person said “I know the rules and you can’t in this situation”.

    2024 Qantas Inflight safety video

    I am on QF 87 Syd > Seoul. Turns out they have a Korean version of the video after as well. In Korean, show Korean destinations and its shorter but the combined 2 videos feels like a feature length film.

    Qantas boosts international capacity, wet lease Finnair aircraft

    Qatar is great but couple weeks ago for something different I went to the EK lounge. Qatar is probably better but EK was still good. EK was extremely empty when I was there which made the service very attentive. I sometimes prefer the self service style vs table service. Allows me to eat as much...
