    Changi Matters

    Transitting through Nov 23 I noticed the big double story DF store middle T3 finally open after like 28yrs construction - however I did not check it out. But this morn with a bit of spare time I did - prices over top but remember upstairs in old store you could get a mini coughtail for free...

    Article: How to Join Qantas Frequent Flyer for Free

    So I wonder how many out there in general public land who are currently ‘non QF FF Members’ but who might consider joining ever stumble across a ‘free’ path to entry? Vast majority would never read AFF - gen X or Y or whatever you call them would be all over it but the rest who would know? I...

    Free to join easy to burn - but I thought this was a QF FF thread? KF OT so if you want to vent your spleen about KF you should do so in appropriate thread 👍

    So QF are happy to sit back and have a joining fee where prospective customers say ‘Look at these pr*cks charging for something that should be free’ but are happy for their partners to offer ’Free to join QF FF’ and gain the goodwill? You really think that?

    China - never a dull moment!

    Went to buy a phone cover or 2 at my go to electrical outlet and bought 3 for RMB30ea but I left the fockers sitting on back seat of taxi when I got out at the Pearl Market. Lucky taxi was booked through DiDi and Concierge was able to call taxi driver and get him to return to hotel - by this...

    No you can’t and this is what I thought you were referring - KF->VA->KF significant hit to pts transferred - again others may have done it but I haven’t - isn’t is something like 25% penalty each way?
