I completed all the leaves just before the end of my year in February, in order to take 50 SCs in my new membership year. After I selected the award the leaf for the quiz was already filled in and the Green Tier progress says I have four activities to go. I assumed they still haven't figured...

Is there still a service desk airside (or in the the lounge) at MEL T1? Has been quite a while since I've needed access to one but rather deal with someone at the airport than being on hold and potentially missing my flighte.

Interesting feedback @sumthinfornuthin. I decided not to take up the double points offer as I didn't trust QF to honour the original DSC offer that was tied to my Travel Pass. Too many variables for my comfort. As a data point, my last DSC for a Travel Pass posted 17 days after the completion...

I don't recall anywhere specifically on the QF website that goes into those differences of 2 class vs 3 class US domestic flights. If you look at this page AS/AA it tells what the booking class maps to for QF FF earn categories. Transcon F on AA books into A & F as I recall. All other "F" for...

Curious how you came up with 460 SCs for a one way. I looked at a routing on AS - SAN-ORD-SFO-SEA and came up with 220 SCs. Remembering that domestic F for these fares on AS & AA is actually ticketed into I (discounted business - 80 + 100 + 40). Still could be a good deal for someone if they...

VIC, ACT & TAS I think.

Advance warning for wall of text, but have an interesting outcome to report following my question in post #122 above. Yesterday I decided to go ahead and book the more expensive fare on Amex Travel anyway and make use of the $450 card credit. Once finished, there was a message on the screen...

Yes, my second last TP taken in September took about two weeks for the DSC to come through. Hopefully they will post by early April for the mid-March trip using my last TP.

I thought something looked different when I was doing a multi-city booking last night. Had the same trip summary screen with the Points Plus Pay option at the bottom.

Hi @LinaLee, yes I did make the booking before expiry at the end of last year. It is for mid-March though - so a few weeks before I find out if the DSC will still get applied automatically. If not, I guess it will be an email or two to chase up (or phone call - though my wait times as Platinum...

Glad to have confirmation on this. Have tried to use the $450 credit during the DSC booking period. The business fare I'm looking at prices out almost $200 more than the fare on the QF booking engine ($800ish vs nearly $1,000). Wonder if it is worth calling to see if they can match the QF...

Thanks RealtimeY. I will give each option a try next time I make a similar call.

Not quite sure I follow Flashback. My settings show this: All my contacts (at least the ones called before this trip) have a line above the contact name that says "last used: P Primary", which in my case is the Telstra eSIM. So, when I attempted to call one of London contact numbers, the...

Arrived in London and have good experience so far with the setup. At first, I couldn't figure out why my phone would not connect to the Lyca Mobile network. Then I realised I had to switch my Mobile Data and Default Voice Line in Settings over to Lyca Mobile from Telstra. Once that was done...

Just off from my flight in 11K - experience as good as 11A, hardly anyone moving between the cabin and the lounge area. Certainly wasn't affected by any noise. Didn't see anyone try to use the closet as a toilet, thankfully. My main complaint however, would be that the cabin crew were...

Many thanks for the update Hampton Mike. After selecting 16A originally, 11K opened up at T-80, so I've changed to that. I will have a wander through the other cabin and try to get a better look at 16A & K to see if they are the same as the row 11 counterparts.

Definitely will. Keeping fingers crossed it all goes to plan.

Have just completed the "Give back" donation via Qantas Marketplace. I think in the past you could pay extra for a climate positive delivery and get the "Choose sustainable" leaf. Did not get that option this year - checkout for the item was flagged as free delivery.

Yes, I probably wasn't clear expressing how I thought the process would work, and now I have a bit of experience, I think I understand better. I ordered a plan from Lyca Mobile and received the confirmation with QR code fairly quickly. Went through the process to add the eSIM while on WiFi and...

I think what Flashback is suggesting is that the Lyca Mobile eSIM should by some mechanism recognise that it is in the vicinity of its home network - in this case the EE network. I'm happy to try it out when we land - if it hasn't worked by the time we get to the gate then I can (hopefully)...
