    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    Perhaps I am missing something - but QFF SUBs are decreasing, exclusion periods are getting longer, earn rates from card spend are falling or having monthly/annual caps introduced, annual fee increases are outpacing inflation, and card surcharges are becoming more commonplace. From my...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF44 DPS-SYD Middle eastern spiced beef kofta with tomato braised green beans, coriander couscous and tahini yoghurt Pretty tasty. There was quite a lot of sauce hidden under the koftas which kept the couscous from drying out. Would order again.

    DPS partner lounge renovation and rebrand - the Tujuwan Lounge

    Qantas' partner lounge at DPS, previously known as the Premier Lounge, has had a significant renovation and is now branded the Tujuwan Lounge. It seems to have reopened at some stage in 2024, but I don't think it's been widely discussed on AFF outside a couple of brief mentions in Trip Reports...

    QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

    I would believe they track HUACAs, but if they do, I expect it's more for customer experience usage than blacklisting. I never get straight through to Hobart on my first call, but it's almost guaranteed on my third call in quick succession. Perhaps just a coincidence, or perhaps someone at...

    Sounds like a positive outcome - do you now have e-tickets with all segments showing 'confirmed'?

    Possible new Intercontinentals in Sydney and Melbourne

    Amex Platinum Travel Credit

    Book anything prepaid through Amex Travel to use the credit. IAP fares are a good use as they're cheaper than publicly available fares. Hotels via THC/FHR are also a good option if you can prepay. Be wary of domestic QF flights as Amex often can't access the cheapest fares available via the QF...

    Can't view Qantas PNRs in Finnair MMB anymore?

    I'm no long able to manage Qantas PNRs using Finnair - does anyone know if this is a recent change? Have tried multiple PNRs, both cash and awards, but they all give an error. It's the first time I've had to do this in probably a year, so this may have changed a while back, but I searched AFF...

    Amex Platinum $200 "Dining credit" towards a list of Global Restaurants

    To my knowledge yes. I believe every restaurant on Pocket Concierge has (usually multiple) course menus you need to pick from at the time of booking, and prepayment is then taken. That payment being processed by Pocket Concierge is what triggers the credit. Would recommend booking at least a...

    Qantas Platinum One experiences?

    Let's make them Qantas specific - Waiting for your priority luggage to appear on the carousel after 200 bags have already appeared - Force closing the Qantas app to get it to refresh or show a boarding pass - Gritting your teeth, smiling and nodding through some awkward/overly scripted CSM...
