Yep, I am tending towards thinking that way too, ....although (alas!) not 26, but still think I have quite a few more heavy years of travel ahead of me!

Ahhhhhh, that makes sense! Good tip, thanks TonyHancock!

Mmmmm..... having researched and thought more about this I think the biggest deciding factor is no longer being able to do Y to J upgrades via QFF points. I don’t do this all the time, but I do it enough to make the regular PER <> BNE commute bearable that the loss of this would be a bit of a...

I think the only folks holding out for a DSC promotion are actually reading and posting in this thread! 😄 And QF probably know this and are probably eavesdropping, so when we all post that we’ve given up waiting and made our bookings .....wham, that’s when they’ll launch the promotion! :rolleyes:

Thanks JessicaTam, that was what I was thinking - ie. crediting to BA, but leveraging my QF WP while it still lasts for dom J lounges (I just re-qualified a month or two ago, so still have 13-odd months before I would need to fall back on my LTG and the <eeeek> QP!). Thinking that should give me...

Thanks cwd, that’s a good tip!

Hi all, I’ve been doing a bit of research here on AFF and on the interwebs since QFF’s announcement of their inspiring LTP tier. I am seriously considering moving over to BAEC instead with the view of having something meaningful to aim for in terms of LTG (OWE), and I noticed that a few...

Can’t comment on the algorithm, but as another data point.... I’m lowly WP but frequently (as in almost always) get a shadow on my regular PER<>BNE flights. When ‘my spare seat’ (lol 😄) is taken, it is either occupied by another P1,WP or SG ....and only when the plane is extremely full. In...

Aside from the website, I have to agree with the OP, but for different reasons! How about: - flights often not departing on time - worst planes in the QF fleet - despite longest segments, often has only QStreaming and sometimes not even that! - often having to walk the tarmac instead of...

True, that is pretty painful! :)

Also received it, and will get some joy on a few further domestic bookings this year, but would have been better a few weeks ago when I booked MEL>LAX>DFW>BZE>MIA>JFK>LAX>SYD. ......(Sigh).

I've been in about 4 - 6 times over past 2 years and always amazed at how tranquil (read "empty") the lounge is. Travelled with my 7 y.o. daughter last time and she loved the desert bar!! My favourite feature is how you can walk straight from the lounge to the gate/lifts to the aerobridge -...

I will retain WP, but it will cost me a bit more to do it (paying extra on JQ / QF fares for self-funded travel, for example). Most of my work flights are disc economy between east coast and Perth, so the distance means SC are pretty much the same, but inter-east coast capital city flights are...

I usually eat the meal (when I can, special meal and all the issues that go with that). Sometimes though if I have a lot of work to do on the flight I choose not to have the meal because I don't want to wait forever for the tray to be cleared away and the laptop to come back out....

Yes, I was thinking AVML might be the best option but wasn't sure if the coconut noodles would fall under that category as well? I stumbled over a photo of it though and it doesn't seem to have the AVML code listed, so maybe that would work? (It has VGML, VLML and VOML on it... so if I avoid...

I know this is very much in the category of 'first world problem' but does anyone have any ideas as to how I can avoid the truly heinous coconut noodle curry special meal that seems to be on high rotation for the past year or so on QF?? I'm a VLML (lacto-ovo special meal), and although QF seem...

Ouch! Yes, changing the way we earn and fly alright... to earning with another airline and flying with them instead. Punishing high volume corporate travellers like me, whose companies are cost conscious enough to book cheaper fares wherever possible, is NOT a smart, loyalty retaining move...

Interesting problem.... I was booked BNE > SYD > DXB > GVA but then needed to change the final segment to be DXB > NCE (yes, le tour de france related! :)). Original booking had all segments on QF, but when I made the change, the DXB > NCE segment had no QF availability. Still got on the...

Hi all, Am planning a trip to LHR next July and was going to go via SIN for a stopover and quick catch-up with friends who live there. With the new QF & EK alliance impacting timetables to SIN from April 2013, should I book now or wait till later? I currently have around 165k QFF points, will...

Thanks all for the tips - some good options in there. Was just looking into it but looks like I may have more work travel coming up anyway, so may not need the JASA at this stage. Leads to another question, but will make a new post! :cool:
