    Cancelling WestJet classic reward - will WestJet refund the bag and seat fees?

    Up to you but a 6k point cancellation fee for a 10k point flight seems like a bit of a hit. I would want the cash fare to be real cheap to cancel !

    Award Booking - AwardsNexus.com Search Result

    I cant give advice in relation to Award Nexus accuracy but from my experience as a bronze member, I rarely see anything but economy class classic reward seats on direct QF flights to the USA. Lots of seats/dates to choose from though. You could book economy and register for an upgrade to...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    I ( plus wife plus sons ) happened to be one hour behind Serfty on the 3.15pm Brisbane to Mel flight on the same day as Serfty ! My school age sons were in economy who can vouch for the food but no wine for them ! Myself and wife scored a points business class upgrade hence experienced different...

    Pay BPay and earn Qantas Points

    The Snip fee for Amex for personal payments is 1.29% and the Amex card I have earns 1.25 QF points per dollar hence when faced with a no points scenario I use Snip

    Qantas Complimentary Lounge Passes [children?]

    Your 2 year old daughter is categorised as a child by Qantas hence will need her own lounge pass. There are often AFF members who gift lounge passes to other members. Perhaps some nice person can help out ? Unless you already have make sure you enrol her as a QF frequent flyer ( free). She will...

    No MU rewards availability

    several weeks ago I noticed a distinct lack of China Eastern reward seats compared to the previous multiple pickings on say MEL/SYD to Shanghai. Having another look nothing is there anymore. Something definitely is going on ???

    Qantas Points Club

    good for you Big John ! I have found PC+ worthwhile mainly for the Qantas club membership. The wine and hotel vouchers have also been useful.

    787 or A380 to USA

    Enjoy your trip wendlle and good choice ! The other thing with the A380 is that it is somewhat compartmentalised so one does not feel like they are in a big plane with lots of passengers. Try flying a Jetstar B787 in economy class on an overnight journey ......it brings new meaning to the words...

    reward seat only showing as part of a connecting flight

    That's odd. I did not have this issue when I was searching MEL to Shanghai just a few weeks ago for dates in early July 2025 and I booked China Eastern MEL direct to Shanghai. There was extensive availability almost every day in June and July in both econ and business class on both China...

    5,000 bonus points each on up to 3 international Qantas Hotels bookings (book by 5/8/24)

    Not totally surprising but some hotels I recently considered booking via Qantas Hotels before this offer have increased in price for the same date compared to before the offer yet some have not changed.

    787 or A380 to USA

    if your decision is simply based on plane comfort not LAX vs Dallas or other considerations then A380 economy class is far more comfortable than B787 economy class. Having said that , yes the little kids won't feel much difference in the narrower seats but depending on body size, the adults can...
