    reminder - book your Qantas chauffeur car transfers

    Couldn't agree more, I've booked for August 2015 MEL-LHR and have already booked the chauffeur service. This year a friend and I did MEL-LAX, I'd booked the chauffeur before the 'enhancement' was announced and still qualified, but my friend missed out as he was leaving until closer to the flight...

    Priority Boarding System from Lounge

    Just wanted to put this out to hear some thoughts from others. I really value using the Qantas Club and partner lounges when I fly, but within Australia I'm noticing a newish trend. As people bring on increasing amounts of carry-on, so that it can be a battle to get yours in the overhead bins...

    New A321

    On Wednesday I flew LAX-NYC in Y on an A321 and it was pretty good. I had access to the Main Cabin Extra when selecting seats and chose the exit row ones. Lots of leg room, seats comfortable, only downside was no window so missed seeing the NYC skyline on the way in. One thing I would avoid is...

    Excellent QF Service

    Thanks MEL, that thought occurred to me too. Might leave that bit out of the official feedback :)

    Excellent QF Service

    I will definitely pass on my feedback to QF, I often get the email survey after a flight so just waiting to see if that comes, otherwise I'll pop them an email.

    Has anyone had success with the call-up "Marginal" xASA's?

    Once again a big thank you to everyone on AFF that kept us informed and educated about ASAs. I've just done my last one, SYD-LAX, in J which means I've re-qualified for another year of SG plus snagged another Loyalty Bonus, a few days before my membership year ends on 30 June. Much appreciated!

    Excellent QF Service

    Just wanted to give some well-earned praise for Qantas crew. On Monday a friend and I flew SYDNEY-LAX in J on QF11 and the flight crew were just superb. Friendly but professional, engaging but not intrusive, and flexible when asked. We also had a friend travelling downstairs in Y and it was no...

    That makes sense, thanks

    Problem with FF Flights ex-USA

    Hi All, Does anyone know if something has changed with finding QFF award flights to/from the US? I've been doing some dummy searches for J flights I'm wanting to book in a couple of months for mid-2015 travel, including coming back from from SFO to MEL. When I search SFO-MEL all I get are...

    US Dividend Miles - Oneworld Award Booking Questions and General Discussion

    I'm new to the USDM program, having bought a heap of points for the merger with AA. My question is about the timing of USDM bookings - I read that they charge the same points for a one-way booking as for a return one. If I'm doing a four week trip, can I book the outbound leg when the date is...

    How To Search For oneworld Award Availability

    Ah, thanks, that makes sense. I do have a big pile of AA/USAIR points as well so I can see how the searching other websites could help with the phone bookings.

    How To Search For oneworld Award Availability

    This is a fantastic post, but I have to ask a real novice question. If my points are all with QFF, how does it help if I can see seat availability on another airline's booking system that isn't showing on QFF? Don't my points need to be held with the booking airline?

    JFK Subway Choice

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Just to clarify, I've used Airtrain before so familiar with the stops, I meant to ask is it better to travel to Penn Station from Jamaica or Howard Beach? Both subway lines and the LIRR go to Penn so I'm interested in whether any of those options have pros or...

    JFK Subway Choice

    In June a friend and I will be flying AA from LAX-JFK, landing around 16:30. Our hotel is right opposite Penn Station, so we figure using the subway/LIRR will be the easiest way to get there given the time of day. I've used the Airtrain before and found it quite easy. My question is, do we go to...

    Account Not Updated

    I think it's under my AA number as they were AA points I used. I can't select seats, which has been another issue. Can't do it online, rang AA who said it's because the carrier is Hawaiian Airlines so I need to ring HA. Rang HA who told me they couldn't do it because it's an AA award booking so...

    Account Not Updated

    Has anyone else had problems with AA not updating their AAWards account when using FF points? About 6 months ago I used 62.5K AA points to book a J flight from the US back to MEL, but am now finding my account is not updating. Firstly the points are still not deducted from my account balance...

    How to use points on Qantas not Jetstar

    In late 2012 I flew HNL-SYD with Jetstar and I found them actually quite good. Plane was in good condiiton, food was fine (I paid extra for the bundle) and we purchased exit row seats and had plenty of leg room. I'm not sure about recently but not that long ago lots of people were complaining...

    AAdvantage eSummary - Jan 14 (anybody else with issues)?

    There is clearly a problem with their system. I booked an AAward flight travelling July 2014 about 3 months ago, it shows as ticketed but my account is yet to be debited the 62.5k points. I've rung & emailed them about this but still nothing...
