    QF International via Darwin

    "We will give Qantas every reason to keep this route beyond April" - Michael Gunner (NT Chief Minister) Does that involve an Airport upgrade? 😊 Also interesting the comment on Darwin PAX being able to join the flight when it starts next month from Melbourne ie. QF9/10 only?

    QF International via Darwin

    UK just recorded 36,000 cases in a day...obviously SIN is a much smaller area but I suspect different governments dealing with reopening in very different ways. I'm booked on QF1 in DEC...will I be allowed to disembark at DRW?

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    I have received great service from the VIP team over the last few weeks while booking my Xmas Europe trip. Several things needed adjusting as predicted during the process along with a stuff up where they charged me twice what was already a large amount but they have followed up and been...

    QF International via Darwin

    I wonder why SIN stopover has been pushed back to April 2022? SIN was going to be one of the first travel bubbles along with NZ only a few months ago...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Yes I feel many things will change on a daily basis once international travel starts.

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Both Sinovac and Covishield will be recognised vaccines ASAP in AUS as the lucrative international student market depends on it (not sure about Sinopharm). You certainly wouldn't want to be travelling internationally while unvaccinated regardless of your personal beliefs as it will be almost...

    Qantas Points Planes on SYD-LHR/LAX in November 2021

    The 'points' planes were not supposed to be flying as Dec 18th was the original commencement date for international flights. One could argue these Nov 14 flights are bonus flights and good PR for QF showing people how easy it is to burn through their points...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Both airlines and Aus airports have requested official information be released by the government so planning can commence. It is very late notice for airlines to lock in their peak flying schedule less than 90 days out with zero certainty and no way to advise customers who purchase tickets what...

    Qantas Points Planes on SYD-LHR/LAX in November 2021

    Most QF fares on QF1/2 are now at full flex pricing so looks like AJ is certainly getting as much cash as possible along with scooping up points for November flights which QF were not expecting to be flying...

    Qantas Points Planes on SYD-LHR/LAX in November 2021

    Yes it seems so. I came here having just booked my first trip off the island and expected a little more activity...give them a few weeks for it to sink in? ;)

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    Being based in Sydney I have booked a Xmas trip and feel that many things will have changed by the time I return in January. Once other airlines ramp up and there are multiple options then caps will be gone and anyone will be allowed in with the appropriate documents / clearances. I am very...

    Predictions of when international flights may resume/bans lifted

    QF certainly making hay while the sun shines...so many flights with only full flex fares being snapped up especially LHR-SYD!

    Qantas Points Planes on SYD-LHR/LAX in November 2021

    As a web / UX designer in my previous life I cannot believe how terrible the QF site has become - it's like they don't want you to find a fare or FF redemption seat at all :oops: Edit: I see all seats gone for QF2 LHR-SYD Nov 14-20 that was fast (a sprinkle of Premium Y/Y remains but surely...

    A380 future post-COVID-19

    Interesting. Apparently it takes up to 8 weeks to get them back online so they are cutting it fine if they want to have any flying for Xmas.

    A380 future post-COVID-19

    A little birdy has advised that either a few QF a380's are already back in the country being prepped for Xmas flights or that a request to bring some back has been submitted. Anyone know any details around this? Or have tracked such positioning flights occurring? I know 'mid-2022' was the...

    Book a flight and Extend Current status to 2022

    FYI a few of the P1 / VIP QF reps I've spoken to have said there is no SC roll over with status extension :rolleyes:

    Missing flybuys points

    Having recently signed up to FB for the first time 3 of 4 bonuses have not shown up. The call centre advised to wait 1-2 weeks while they investigate. No way will I continue using FB if I have to chase up and keep track of bonus points - normal activity is crediting right away no issue but no...

    Hilton Status Match

    I was just rejected for status match due to already successfully requesting a status match last year. The 90 day qualifying period expired during lockdown (Jan-Mar) however no status extension was granted. Am I being too precious trying for another status match when I can actually travel...
