    Ask The Pilot

    Not really an aviation question but - standoff bays at airports or whatever they’re called (as opposed to docking with an aerobridge)… why are they used when it looks like there are many vacant aerobridges? Bit annoying to have to herd into a shuttle bus and drive to the terminal building after...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    Fly later per their comms. I'd like to think they've read our complaints about unpublished benefits and will commit to some improvements in writing. In dozens of flex fares in the golden triangle at peak times I haven't been able to make use of fly earlier at all, so that published benefit...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I feel like they’ve been reading AFF at least in part - they specifically said Fly Later is a published benefit. We sometimes focus on published vs. unpublished or inconsistent benefits.

    No middle name on MH flight issued by QF

    Reports, recent and longer ago across various airlines, indicate it won't be a problem: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/lack-of-middle-name.106404/ https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/adding-middle-name-to-qf-ff-profile.109546/...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    Agreed with above, I don't see how the T&Cs could be read to allow non-eligible family members. I've received some PMs asking me to make bookings and had to (hopefully politely) refuse.

    QF P1 partner platinum

    It might seem wasted if you're usually travelling with your non-status +1 and they'll benefit from your P1. But here are a few reasons why you'd give them partner platinum anyway: If you're both travelling as a bigger family group, their being platinum will allow more relatives to come into the...

    Delayed processing of upgrades QF12 - any theories?

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    Can I please ask about QF29 MEL-HKG 10/9/2024 - have put in upgrades to J for a couple of relatives, and seat selection shows four seats. Thank you.

    You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

    You notice the check-in agent has had a haircut. You have a favourite bathroom basin, in a lounge or airport hundreds or thousands of km away from home. The FA stumbles on the description of meals, you're tempted to (or do) fill it in for them. You have so many napkins from lounges and...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Take the J flights and claim ORC? :p Pleasantly surprised by QF's response. Didn't expect that!

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Bet on how long it’ll be before they’re cancelled. I’ll be a little surprised if they do a mea culpa. Props to those that booked but even at check in QF could still invalidate and cancel the tickets and boarding passes. While it was up I saw you could squeeze in a few more SCs and value by...

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Makes for a much better status run than my DPS & AKLs - WP / P1 / LTP here we come! :) Someone at Coward St is gonna have a miserable Friday On a serious note, is this linked to its classic rewards value?

    Qantas Error Fare: First Class to Los Angeles from Sydney $4,299 return @qantas.com (several dates incuding xmas holidays)

    Still showing. Let’s see how long this stays up and how QF responds. Also on OzBargain now of course. Wonder when the last time QF made such a mistake was.

    Hope you get them to fix up the address. Nicely told story but one of the tribulations of travel!

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Welcome to AFF and well done on getting a pass, I've been P1 for a few years now and have never received one although other members have as mentioned on the Platinum One experiences thread. Do report back on your experience!
