    Testing out a OW Circle Pacific itinerary online

    Yes, corporate TA. First time booking travel at this job, so I don't know how much help they need. :) I did look for options via NRT, but there was no D class availability on the days I needed. Although with the current restrictions on entry into Japan, I'd worry about what would happen if...

    Testing out a OW Circle Pacific itinerary online

    Thanks. It looks like I can't progress to search for specific flights if I violate the RTW rules with my city selections. But yes I guess the date pickers give an indication that there is some available routing, though. I ended up doing a bunch of searching on EF for D class availability. Took...

    Testing out a OW Circle Pacific itinerary online

    Hi, I'm in the process of booking some work travel, and prices being what they are, I'm seeing if I can come up with some creative solutions to suggest to our corporate travel agent to keep costs down. I'm based in Melbourne, and need to be in San Francisco for a week starting September 3 or 4...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    As another Australia/UK dual passport holder, I'm looking forward to trying this trick out once my work travel resumes in a couple of months. (Looking at my email, I got a UK Access Code for the Global Entry application 2½ years ago and I've been waiting to use it ever since.) One question...

    US Global Entry Program for Australian citizens [from 2025]

    Just saw US Global Entry remains on the agenda for Australians - Point Hacks which doesn't really have any new information, except that the trial that's been mentioned over the last few years hasn't actually started yet.

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    Thanks. I've never really paid attention to Qantas vs QantasLink and others. Looking forward to actually being on a plane for the first time in more than two years!

    Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

    My status year ends tomorrow, and yesterday I booked a flight from MEL to HBA for March. I had a last minute moment of panic while reading the terms of the status extension offer. The flight I'm on is QF1559, which is operated by QantasLink. The terms say I'm eligible if I book "any Qantas...

    When is next anticipated double SC promotion?

    I had to give up and book today for an end of February work trip. Hope that helps the offer come out sooner for everyone else...

    When is next anticipated double SC promotion?

    Another data point: all three of the DSC offer emails from last year (Feb 1, Aug 9, Oct 11) came on a Thursday.

    Woolworths backflips - QF points are coming back

    Re: Woolworths reviewing partnership with Qantas Frequent Flyer. If by some miracle I happen to earn WWD 10 before the "convert WWD to QFFP" option comes in, is there a way I can prevent the WWD 10 from being automatically used at the cash register? Or should they ask me before using it and...

    For those who have been comped status

    Same here. I'm on 1140 with anniversary date being the end of December. Logged in today to see the congratulations message. I've got one more flight booked that will take me over the line. Still, it is nice to know that if I had to cancel the trip I'd be safe!

    Qantas Advisory Panel survey on airport departure/arrival experience

    Yeah, I put "extremely important" for the "how important is priority baggage" question. :)

    Qantas Advisory Panel survey on airport departure/arrival experience

    The complimentary SIM card with some credit on it was a nice idea. In the freeform text at the end I suggested that providing information on how to get to the city centre using public transport from the arrival airport would be something useful to get on landing, or maybe before takeoff...

    Qantas Advisory Panel survey on airport departure/arrival experience

    Just got a Qantas Advisory Panel survey about arrival experiences, but which also included some questions about departure airports, so it was more like a survey on the outside-of-the-plane journey experience. I found this page of questions interesting: Personally I'm not sure I want to be...

    50% more status credits - offer valid for bookings made in next 7 days

    I am pretty sure the bonus does not apply in this case. I think it will be the voucher creation date that matters.

    50% more status credits - offer valid for bookings made in next 7 days

    Finally got a 50% bonus a few days ago, which was good timing as I had a work trip to book. Unlike the old double status credits offers, these 50% bonus offers have to be booked within a week. I wonder if anyone has "saved up" the offer by creating and cancelling a booking, creating a voucher...

    MH 777 missing - MH370 media statement

    Yes, what I heard on the radio this morning is that no other 777 has ever been lost over water, which means it is almost certainly from MH 370.

    HSBC Platinum Qantas Visacard "Benefits that will change"

    Only maximum I see in the small print is the 100,000 points per year. With the Qantas Credit Union Visa Platinum card on the other hand I can't see any yearly limit.

    HSBC Platinum Qantas Visacard "Benefits that will change"

    re: HSBC Platinum Qantas Visacard "Benefits that will change" I haven't yet received this letter, but if true this will make me re-evaluate my credit card choice. It seems harder and harder to find a non-AMEX card that provides a straight point per dollar on domestic purchases. I've found the...
