Date Flight # DEP Airport Lounge Time Guests Comments 8 Jan QF80 NRT Aspire / JAL J 1630 +1 Will probably duck into the Aspire lounge to check it out, then retreat to JAL J until departure. 9 Jan QF436 MEL QP 0900 +1 I arrive MEL Int 0745 and will head straight to the QP after clearing...

Date Flight # DEP Airport Lounge Time Guests Comments 27 QF504 SYD QP 0630 +1 Flight departs 0705, I'm probably only going to sneak in for a quick coffee. 27 QF61 BNE QF Int 0805 +1 I arrive BNE Dom 0735, and will go straight to the QF Int lounge.

The Jewel early check-in will not work if your check-in requires manual intervention. The most common reason (according to Changi staff) is if your name on your passport doesn’t match the ticket name exactly, whether it be: - missing middle name - names in wrong order I’ve found OLCI less...

I started a live chat on Jetstar to see if they could book the economy leg with a Starter Max fare. They said that it's not possible even for the contact centre, but they also said that the economy leg will earn Points and SCs at Business rates? This makes 0 sense to me, but I guess if I keep...

Thanks for the info - yep I don't mind not getting transfers on the dom->int connection, but at least the connection (should) be protected if it's on the same booking!

Ah yeah, great suggestion - phone booking it is! Thank you! :)

Sorry I wasn't clear. I believe Jetstar will connect bags only if all connections are on the same booking? So, if I want to book the economy legs on a max fare for SCs, I will need to do this via a TA, since on Jetstar.com we cannot "force" the economy legs to be on a max fare. Edit: unless...

Great, thanks for the confirmation. I suppose then I need to go via a TA to book the individual legs together in the same booking so that baggage is checked through. It's a pity that JQ makes this difficult, but I understand that for most people, this is probably the preferred option.

Hey guys, I'm looking at booking the following itinerary on JQ - SYD-MEL JQ MEL-SIN JQ SIN-KUL 3K If I book this on a Business Max fare (which will only apply to the MEL-SIN leg), will the other two legs earn Qantas Points/SC at a max bundle rate? I'm confused because I'm allowed to pick...

I don't mind the transit that much, but good point on the ESTA. Maybe going through the US is not a great idea after all. Side note: A hilarious routing I found (that is too long even for me) was LHR-HEL-HND-SIN-KUL-CMB-MEL Great ideas, thanks! Ah yeah, that's a good suggestion. MAD and HEL...

Hey guys, Apologies if this has been asked before - I've tried searching this thread but no luck. Can I please get some suggestions for creative routings between London and Sydney? I've booked the first half of my OWA, but the return part is just under a year from now, so I suspect that award...

Thanks for that. I guess the “surface sectors count as stopovers from the start” is overridden by this rule. I suppose with the ambitious mile count, I’d just have to try and see if the system accepts it 😅

Hey guys, can I please get a sanity check on this OWA itinerary before I attempt to book it? KUL-SIN | MH (Transit) SIN-MEL | QF (Stopover 1) MEL-SYD (Surface) SYD-SIN | QF (Stopover 2) SIN-KUL (Surface) KUL-HND | JL (Stopover 3) HND-SYD | QF (Stopover 4) SYD-HND | QF or JL (Transit) HND-LHR |...

As another data point, I could drop bags 4 hours earlier for QF81’s 12.50 departure a few weeks ago. I asked the check-in agent if there was a new standard for how early we can rock up. She said she doesn’t know if there is, as the system will just reject anyone if there isn’t enough baggage...

The meal on KUL-DPS in J on 3/11 was decent, although I would compare it to a good long-haul Y meal. For a 3 hour flight, no complaints, although the satay was cold and dry. Bread (not pictured) was served warm and tasted good. The return flight from DPS on 7/11 was sad - served in an aluminum...

Just flew KUL-DPS return on an MH 333 and 332. I was wondering if wifi speeds would be impacted due to the higher load, but speeds hovered around 10 Mbps. Either not a lot of people knew it was free, or 10 Mbps was peak load - which would be good. Side note: I didn’t realize the 332s had...

Great, thank you!

Hey @exceladdict, according to the QF SIN Lounge staff, you should be eligible to enter the Blossom lounge. Unfortunately I couldn’t make time to ask the Blossom lounge staff, but the QF lounge staff were very confident that you should have access.

No worries! I’ll ask if a QF WP can enter the Blossom lounge on a QF Codeshare.

The bus itself will take you around 20 mins, but that's excluding waiting time for the bus. I would estimate a 30 min transfer to be safe. The last time I did this transfer around June, I just missed the bus - it took me around 30 minutes from T1 to T4. 2 hours should be okay, but IMO the T4...
