Suggest you rub your eyes and check again, that's 947,800 not 94,780. You'll need a few more than 10k points to top up ;) I've had it verbally confirmed by VA that EY website availability has no correspondance as to what is available from VA. I booked a MEL-AUH-LHR in F on the A380 and my...

Most people don't currency hedge though, that's my point (if you'll pardon the pun). People will put their cash in to their travel card typically only a week or so ahead, as people don't want to tie up their cash unnecessarily. Based on todays QC rates for USD vs xe.com, you're paying 1.495c...

VA Award Seat availability has tightened up significanly across the board. This started late last year unfortunately. I was at the Freddies the other week where they won best award availability for AP (For the 4th year running) but suspect that run will be over. Fortunately the taxes/charges...

That's currency hedging. There was no hiding the fact the AUD was falling. You could go into a bank and buy cash if you wanted to, and be better off than using the QC card (although obviously you'd have hard currency). The bottom line is the percentage 'at the time'. We're not arguing about...

Yup. I did the TLS tour and echo the other reports. Short Film, Bus to the final assembly line, up in a lift, look at the planes, down the lift, back to the centre. Very big disappointment considering I went to TLS purely for this. The Boeing tour (I did it again a few weeks ago) is superior...

Ian Thorpe in the SYD J lounge on Saturday afternoon. Staff were swooning over him. Got a heap of pasta and bread and retreated to the semi-private area behind reception.

When I used my Citibank debit card in the USA I get almost bang on the mid-market rate when I take cash out from one of their ATM's. Likewise when i've taken GBP's out in the UK, the rate has been within .5% of the mid-market rate. There's just not enough value in Qantas Cash for me to...

Red Roo is back, in some form at least:)

Not necessarily. We lament the loss of the other RR (ie, the one that was a single person who checked in). She was super helpful and is no longer with QF, so we wish her well. Now we welcome the new RR. The king is dead, long live the king(s)! As a side note, RR has picked up a PM I had going...

Nor the email address we use ([email protected]) nor the web form (still waiting to hear back from a response I had about a poor flight that needed feedback). Response from anyone at Qantas has blown out to weeks now for any kind of problem. Twitter/Facebook may be quick, but...

I love the E190's. I have a thing for small RJ's from any manufacturer. Something awesome about the take off, they feel like a little shuttle!

This was my thought to that response too. I have always felt far more comfortable passing information to RR here (an 'Authenticated Company Rep') for asssitance as it typically contains PNR's, personal details and other things I don't want to send over twitter (PM or not) and definitely not...

Go here: https://www.aquire.com.au/contactus and select 'Missing partner (non flight) benefits' from the drop down box. Yeah, it's not clear :S

Poll needs many more options. I was QF through and through until Velocity launched. Status Matched, and have kept VA WP ever since. When I moved to VA, I did my 4 QF segments and re-qualified for QF WP via AA as I spend a lot of time in the USA for work. This year will see me hit LTG, and I...

How frustrating. It was amazing that QF had someone down on the ground with us folks in here. I appreciate we represent a tiny minority of their customer base in terms of both numbers and flying habits, but there are plenty of high value customers on here (P1 and the like) that it never hurts to...

Definitely no evidence for Velocity on VA Amex flights. From day one, they've always been null.

How far out is your flight? I've noticed AA and other airlines may not immediately notify you, if there's a lengthy period until the flight, just in case it changes again. Obviously being pushed back 24 hours is a bit of a biggy though.

I have not received any bonus points from the last 3 offers they provided me. I registered, received the confirmation, and each receipt had the points earned (and credited to my account correctly in due course). NFI what's going on over there, but i'm getting a little sick of airlines...

Star lounge, no question. If the weather is nice (Which it should be), grab a drink and a bite, and head straight down the back of the lounge, up the ramp, and out to the terrace. It's lovely out there! Water pressure is a problem in general in the USA i've decided. The QF F lounge showers are...

I fly on average 60-100 segments a year, but often have 2-3 months between flights and then a large spurt of travel. Does that make me not a frequent-flyer despite having elite status in three programs? How long is a piece of string. There's frequent travellers and frequent flyers, they are...
