Thanks RooFlyer. Sounds promising based on your third paragraph.

Thanks MEL_Traveller and opusman.

One of the segments of my December itinerary is PDX-LAX on AS 562 sold as QF 3704. The fare class that the QF MMB page shows me is "Business (I)", though I think there are only two classes on AS 562: Economy and First. From my brief searching it looks like AS lets people with First class...

I was just doing one I received, and got about 10 pages in before it asked me whether I'd flown domestically in the past 12 months, after which it said "sorry we're not interested'. Could've started with that question!

Obviously they were taken off the menu due to the raised terror alert level. As someone told me recently, "Regrettably, for some time to come, Australians will have to endure more security than we're used to, and more inconvenience than we'd like" and I'm pretty sure he was talking about...

Yep, completely agree.

Received my monthly QFF summary email, and it looks like they've got a new format. Unfortunately it seems to be tripping up Thunderbird's scam warning: I think it's because there are links in the email that have text like "qantas.com/classicawards" but then the actual link goes to something...

- Care for some bakery? - A share of my local Brumby's? No thanks, but I'll take some of that lovely sourdough... (QF is the only place I've heard "bakery" used like that...)

Here's another data point for people wondering whether CD can be booked if on a points upgrade. I put in for a Y->J upgrade on my upcoming QF9 flight and it came through this morning, about T-60. I was hoping this would let me book the chauffeur, since the T&C say only that complimentary...

Re: Vodafone plans to let customers “Roam Like Home” in UK, USA & NZ for $5 per day I love it too. With the yearly limit up to 90 days now, it covers more than I need for number of days travelling overseas. Would be nice if it worked in Dubai for my stopovers there though!

I do, and that's not only because of my employer. :-)

Does this apply when your employer reimburses you exactly for meal expenses that you pay for initially? And for accommodation, if the employer pays for it rather than I pay then get reimbursed?

I just installed the toolbar so I could qualify for the "earn one point in a currently unearned icon million point" competition. I love the way that after searching (in my Firefox at least) it can freeze the whole browser for a few seconds while it displays the "You've earned one point!" message...

Hi everyone, My parents are planning a trip to the UK and France over the Christmas / New Year period. Something like 19 DEC - 03 JAN. They'll be travelling in Y, but if there's a good deal I might chip in to help bump them up to J. I'm looking to see how my ~270K QFF points might help them...

A good sign: http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/open-discussion/the-operational-upgrade-thread-18198-101.html#post1036107 :)

Op-up from Y to J on EK75 (DXB-CDG) yesterday, booked on the QF codeshare, for me, a WP, and my two NB travelling companions. Got Y boarding passing when checking in in MEL, and then in DXB we went arrived at the gate and no special beeps. But just before boarding commenced, the three of us were...

This has now dropped to zeroes across the board. At 35 hours before departure, not sure if that's a good or a bad sign...
