Another potential consideration is that if the vehicle is being purchased by a business then the 3% (or whatever) surcharge on the vehicle purchase will most likely be tax deductible. If the purchase was made using a card that accrues FF points in a personal name then it's a case where an...

I've seen this twice in the last few months when redeeming a voucher for a flight booking. Check My Trip correctly shows the flight details etc as well as a note that the booking was redeemed from a voucher (or words to that effect). The QF website just shows the booking as a voucher with a...

Given that award seats are always difficult to obtain, especially in premium cabins, I'd be suggesting you book those available seats on the 16th & 17th now. If you have to change or cancel them at some point in the future (ie if better dates do become available) it'll cost you a nominal...

The D terminal A/C is also a nicer place when you're travelling with young children. They have a great enclosed play area with TVs, computers with kid's games and small seats for little ones to draw at etc, and in the time we were there a bar attendant came past on several occasions to take...

I'm keenly following this thread as I'm in a very similar position to others who have posted - a month left on my membership year, no 'necessary' travel left to do but only 380 SCs (70 of those on QF) needed to reach P1. Any thoughts as to whether it's worth a couple of SC runs to reach the...

Not sure how far out you are looking, but I booked a few ex-HKG F award flights on CX on the weekend for flights next week and there seemed to be plenty of availability for flights to LHR and CDG in F and SYD in J in August & September. The seats were be visible for booking online from a Bronze...

+1 - I RSVPd today. Worth going if only for the prize draws - though this'll be my 6th year in a row and I haven't won anything yet...

A QF ticketed ex-Australia DCIR29SA is currently $12,199 AUD plus taxes. I've not been to South America myself but regularly book ACIR22/26 fares for work travel. I find the best way is to use the OneWorld online planner to pick the flights you want to take, then call up QF and book over the...

I'm not going to comment on the bigger issue, but if these travellers are anything like myself the PJs would have been left behind along the way. I usually travel with carry-on luggage only, and deliberately don't pack PJs knowing I'll pick up a set on my first international flight. I keep...

I had to put through some requests for a family member today - the system wasn't working during the day but appears to be functioning correctly now.

+1. Actually a separate J cabin for families with children would be a great idea - it would have allowed my 2 yr old to get some sleep on QF7 the other day when the older blokes in 6AB decided that the middle of the flight when everyone was asleep was a good time to turn on all their overhead...

We're in the middle of a US / Europe trip with our 2.5yr old daughter at the moment, and we've found that the CARES harness we bought her is great both for safety as well as helping her understand when she needs to be seated during the flight. She's old enough to understand the seatbelt sign...

I went and saw Enterprise in it's second-to-last resting place yesterday - the temporary enclosure on the USS Intrepid museum in NYC. Amazing piece of engineering - seeing it in person is both inspiring and deeply depressing that they don't fly them anymore.

I've been through LHR 3 times this last week - arriving into T3 (AA from DFW) on Friday, arriving into T5 (BA from BRU) on Monday and departing T5 (BA to JFK) on Tuesday. All 3 times the queues were far shorter than expected - both T3 and T5 arrivals were completed (aircraft to kerb) in less...

Another CARES harness update - AA International J (777) also works great with the CARES harness, though I wasn't hugely impressed with the seat itself. BA Club Europe is also fine (A320 in this case) with the same tray table caveat as QF Y. On another note, in regards to taxis in Paris you'll...

I've asked to swap seats with other pax on a couple of occasions, though mainly a long time ago flying UA J (award bookings) when I had no status. My then-girlfriend and I were on our first overseas trip together, and our first time in anything but Y, and for some reason the airline had...

I read the start of this thread a few days ago, and lo I boarded a CBR-SYD QF flight in J on Wednesday morning and the crew were brilliant. I was flying with my wife and 2.5yr old - they had a child's flight pack waiting for us when we walked down the bridge onto the aircraft, the entire crew...

I had my first flight into DFW on QF7 yesterday - it was an absolute nightmare. Flight touched down at 1:45pm, cleared immigration at 3:30pm, no baggage to collect so straight into customs queue for another 30 mins. Finally ground-side at 4:00pm - more than 2 hours after arrival. We were in...

Just to follow up now that the harness has done a few flights. No problems so far with QF J and Y on the 737 (though have to be careful not to strap in the tray table of the seat behind when seated in Y), as well as refurbished QF 747 J (so should be OK on the A380 also) and A380 F. Have some...

Indeed - perhaps a :) would have been appropriate. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
