    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF1 SIN-LHR A light dinner was served after takeoff: I had the mee siam, which tasted amazing! I’m usually not a fan of the mee in economy ex-SIN (I know, not the same product, but still). It was incredibly spicy though - I couldn’t finish it as I was dying. Again, I had fruits for...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF1 SYD-SIN October 2024 Same menu as posted further up this thread Pumpkin and ginger soup was great, and tastes as expected. Picture features Neil’s “amazing” salad on the side Snapper tasted great too, but the scallops were a bit dry and chewy - I’m sure it’s a byproduct of being...

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    I have just booked my flights, so I will be there. If anyone is looking to travel from SYD/MEL/BNE, QF has dropped prices to AKL and are also giving an extra $100 off. I haven't booked a hotel, but I'm likely going to be in one of the airport hotels Fri night, then the Mercure Queen Street...

    Lounge Access on Arrival as QF Elite?

    Yep, I believe this is the reason as well. Yes, you should have your normal guest allowance. I had no problems guesting my friend - she was on a different QF flight departing SYD. She did, but she doesn’t have access to the Dom J, so I guested her in.

    Lounge Access on Arrival as QF Elite?

    I just got rejected on-arrival access at the Sydney QP. Lounge dragon had “never heard of on-arrival access”. No problems at the Dom J lounge, where the attendants agreed that I should have been allowed in the QP as well. I wasn’t bothered to go back and argue at the QP - I went there first...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Your stopovers look fine, but be aware that some of these routes may need indirect routings for award availability. In particular, MH’s LHR-KUL direct flight has really tight availability depending on your travel dates. 36,400 is a bit high IME. QF’s own internal mileage calculations tend to...

    Triple points

    I just had a stay post that was eligible for 3x points. The actual posted points matched the base earn + an extra lot of 3x points. I will note that this stacked with the 20% extra points on the app (this wasn't multiplicative - see screenshot below). The estimated points was no where close...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    How crowded are the showers at the Qatar lounge? I've found that the QF F showers aren't too crowded before QF2 departs to SYD, but maybe it's my confirmation bias. I'll be flying QF1 in J in October and I'm wondering if it's better to skip the QF F lounge entirely...

    Novotel Auckland Airport ... Hotel Upgrade(!)

    They told me the same thing about the mini bar, so it might be their standard policy. I’ve also been allowed to use my voucher to grab a coffee - the coffee shop opens at an ungodly hour (definitely by 5am) for anyone with an early flight.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    It may take a while for Fiji and Hawaii to come on board and start making award seats available to partners. You can look at starting in Japan as well - I have seen 3 award seats on JL flights before. AY (Finnair) also release 3+ award seats on long haul flights regularly. Not sure if it helps...
