    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I saw QF11/12 and AA LAX/LHR legs. I'd probably take that combo if I had a need to be in the UK then. Which I don't.

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Seems to be more AA reward seats available at the moment. Searching SYD-LHR return Jan-Feb 2025 has some good J seats going.

    Article: Qantas Auckland Lounge Upgrade: The End of an Era

    Got there last week at 9.45am. Breakfast about finished, not appealing. Coffee machine broke so went to main lounge for coffee and they had the same food. Lunch menu of pork stew slop with couscous and the NZ-tradition of minestrone soup. Soft cheese slabs all stuck together and some salads...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Is there a comparison on Award programs on here? I am considering loosing QF as an airline but wonder if the alternates are much better. As a bronze, I think we managed more J flights more direct into Europe 5+ years ago. Now as a Platinum I am on a flight next month which is syd-hnd (qf) -x-...

    Qantas First Lounge Spa

    Mine have both been about 15 minutes. Not complaining, a 15 minute massage is better than none.

    Qantas First Lounge Spa

    0815 arrival for a 1320 flight and got a spa spot at 1100 the week before Easter. Happy days, in between the Dallas flight and QF1.

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Based on my current experience with QF staff cancelling a CR leg then being told to find my own alternatives, which I did, to now have 2 legs just disappear from all airlines MMB on the same booking, I think anything Qantas do won’t make me stay with them. Currently WP, can’t get seats on...

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    Thanks. Didn’t want her to lob and be embarrassed if the allowance for J was not for awards. QF is miserable about most other things, half expected this to be one such area.

    Lounge Access Help Desk

    I can’t find a yay or nay on this. My sister is on a J reward Syd-Akl. Can she guest her bestie flying in Y on same flight into the Sydney J lounge? Or does the bestie need a lounge pass gifted? QF are a bit vague on rewards flights eligibility.

    Qantas international Economy Class meals

    QF145 SYD-AKL 23/3/24 Lunch was chicken breast with oven roasted potatoes or cold beef and Mexican corn salad. Served in somewhat appealing plastic dish and plate, bamboo cutlery and cheese and cracker's. Chicken was tough and dry but ‘ok’. Spuds done well. Cheese and bikkies good. Wine was...

    What to Expect Flying to DFW on QF7

    I did this route last September and wasn't told of any luggage restrictions. It was a long flight but flying in business took the edge off it.

    QF Mystery: We can see but the agent can't

    I had this issue with Malaysian Airlines (MH) showing a reward seat but the call centre could not see it. They could see the other 2 legs I wanted to complete the trip but not the first one. Luckily, after the first 'Nup' from SA I HUACA and got NZ. One hour and 50 minutes later I had a reward...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    That's been my interpretation as well, based on the HBA interaction. Seems to be final if you get that response.

    Qantas research panel

    It was a few years ago, but I understood that It was a few years back before I found out about rewards flights, but I'm sure when we were there as QC members TBIT was excluded. I thought it funny as we were allowed into LHR and DXB business lounges but not the LAX one. And we stood around LAX...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    maybe my man was quoting total seat count not ‘I’seat count. No other days work, 7 or 8 are the only days BA has J rewards seats on offer.

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I agree that's more the reality. One call I made (and I called 4 times today) the guy said there was I seats available on one flight but still came back denied. I think that was NZ. 2 calls went OS and both stated no seats available for request - no chance of even asking. Last call was...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    There was a theory on here that your current and future travel determines your success rate. If thats true I’m equal to NB as I have 1 flight booked this membership year.

    If they still deny access for QP at Tom Bradley then it's a no deal for me. Got caught with that early on in my QC membership
