Just discovered this as well. Just had to cancel a flight from BKK to Syd and was told 180 days. Say what you want about QANTAS, but when I had to cancel the outward legs of this trip with them, the money was refunded in the next few days

Just arrived from Sydney for the 11pm flight to LA so will be here for a while Anything I should order in particular ?

Flew a 787 from Tokyo to Sydney recently with QANTAS Windows not locked at any point (daytime flight) Found it useful as even fully “dark” you could still see enough to know if it was work “clearing” the window to take a look / pic

The cheapest Qantas fares (which are not always available on a flight) are indeed not upgradable with points. They are generally tagged as “sale” fares in the online booking system. Looks like you may have booked one of those. When you look at “manage booking” for these flights in a browser...

You were not kidding about short notice. Both those flights are within 24 hours The above are the tickets available on the 2 flights, tonight for perth-> syd Tomorrow for Syd->LAX The business class seats are J,C,D,I & U and as you can see there are just 2 business seats available right now...

If you can post the date of the QF11 and the details of the Perth to Sydney Leg (presume it is overnight) I can check Expert Flyer to tell you how full business is on these flights and that will help you aim your upgrade request to the flight with the best chance. I am presuming that if both...

Also check the “where can I go” page. Enter the period you want, one way, business, classic rewards and it will show you all available tickets to anywhere from your origin city. It is buggy, and frustrating, but it found me a 1st class ticket to Rome from Sydney in March (emirates) and a...

And here I am in the J lounge in Syd waiting for my flight. The airport itself is a zoo. At least 40 people were queued up for business checkin when I arrived. But the J lounge would be maybe half full, maybe a bit more than half, so you would expect the F lounge to have even more space. But...

It is a bit odd. That they are even asking suggests that insufficient standard upgrade requests have been received to fill the seats. But, as pointed out, with just 4 seats free in Business that does itself seem unlikely.

Thanks @henrus, my flight is at 7am, so looks like it is Blossom Lounge for me. and again the value of "Australian Frequent Flyer" is shown, because both the Blossom Lounge and Jetstar pages are silent on this But this post JQ/3K moving to T4 at SIN in March 2023 (previously October 2022) :-(...

QANTAS is quite happy taking money - either from customers directly (e.g QANTAS card such as Titanium) or via 3rd party suppliers (such as 3rd party banks) for 'benefits' such as points and invitations. They are much less interested in redeeming them, relying on small print (capacity limits for...

Good to know. Unfortunately can't use in Singapore either as my QF flight number (really Jetstar Asia) leaves in the morning and the QF 1st lounge doesn't open till 3pm.

Titanium. The odd thing is that the website was giving me the same error both before and after this restriction came in. I presumed it was some problem with my account. Some combination of me going from Plat to Gold since the passes were issued, and being upgraded from Economy to Business on...

Good to know. Because the Titanium T&Cs says they only work in Sydney, Melbourne and LA "The Qantas Premier Titanium Primary Cardholder is entitled to two complimentary single-entry Lounge Invitations to the Qantas First Lounges in Sydney, Melbourne or Los Angeles" See: Qantas Premier Titanium...

Just a note on the Titanium 1st class complimentary lounge invitations. Was trying to link one since last Friday (8th) to my flight to Singapore on the 16th Dec (this Sat) and have been constantly getting a "Unable to retrieve information. Please try again later." error message. Finally rang...

Up till end of Oct I was a platinum - and have never seen the 1st class lounge in Sydney near capacity. Hard to imagine it will be more full than the business lounge (accepting the invitation would have freed up a slot in the bus lounge, given I have access there anyway) but the staff member I...

Mod, if this is the wrong place, please move. Just got of the phone from QANTAS FF support who told me I could not use my complimentary 1st class lounge invitation on Dec 16th in Sydney as, starting Sat the 9th, due to capacity constraints, no international lounge invitations are being accepted...

Upgrade from economy to business of QF26 HND->SYD, 26th Nov approved 24 hours prior Plane actually flew with 2 bus seats empty Upgrade from economy to business on QF291 SYD->SIN, Sat 16th Dec, approved a week in advance So that make 3 upgrade to business in a row (syd->ign oct 26th, posted...

These numbers don’t seem to match If it is $42 FF per pas, and $73 revenue - how is 43 at least 80% of 73?

Last night (Monday) was notified of successful points upgrade to Business (from Economy) on the QF87 flight of 2023-10-26 (Thursday) Syd -> ICN (Seoul)
