No, if you read the FWA ruling, they (the FWA) make it clear that they would not have terminated the industrial action (of both sides) had Qantas not grounded the airline. They stated that there was no significant damage occuring under the relevant section of the FWA act due to the strikes to...

Hi, Newbie question... I'm currenty booked QF9 18 June 2012 MEL LHR in JASA (U). Flightstats is currently showing A9 / F9. I should have enough points to request an upgrade to first in two weeks. Two questions - firstly; is flightstats accurate this far out? If so, it looks like heaps of...

Thanks, that seemed to be what I was seeing as well with some dates I was playing with. It's just like booking two flights.

LHR-SIN-MEL, July 2012 Would like to stop over in SIN. Cannot book ASA over the phone, can I book a stopover, or is that simply a multi-city ASA flight? I guess this is similar to other threads asking about booking stopovers - the answer seems to be you have to do it over the phone, and copy...

From a long time lurker, occasional poster. Thanks for all the contributors on these forums - your advice and tips has helped enormously. Have just booked JASA MEL-LHR-MEL for me & Mrs and YASA for the rug rats using tips from everyone here - like how to book JASA for classic points, earning...

Hey all, thanks for all the helpful info, especially the don't try for 4 seats. I'll put the kids down the back in cattle class. They'll be 12 & 14, so old enough. Less points, better chance of booking.

Trying to book for June next year. Lots of flights, showing J availability, but when I choose J, it shows 512,000 points (instead of 256,000 points - for Y) for 4 passengers. Click through to review, and it shows a note "Your SYD-LHR flight will be in economy". Do I have to call up to book...

I'm just on the premium card for the moment (not ultimate), but have not paid a fee once (free first year, fee waiver call on anniversary). I think my average fee waiver phone call time is around 8 minutes at the moment, including hold time. I have a reminder set a month before the...

moonee - vital you and anyone else follow the instructions in http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/current-credit-card-promotions/citibank-plat-visa-60-k-28541-10.html#post426344 which include a step of making sure you are actually enrolled in the QFF program before you spend...

No, I see a similar thing (though the points balance is less now, as the first statement has been issued, so it is now just showing the points since the first statement). I think you're all good.

Just in case anyone was wondering do you actually get QFF points...

Don't know, but I suspect not - so I think you'll still have to spend. However, please don't rely on my guess, because that's all it is.

No (not before applying - would have been OK to just get the points - we could use the Citibank travel option for local trips in a worst case), but checked information posted elsewhere on this thread / forum, and confirmed before opting in.

I can confirm you can earn QFF points, but you must be careful how you do it. Firstly, posters who note there is no option for QFF direct earn during the application process are correct; you do not choose QFF direct earn during the application, but only after you have received your card, but...

Obvious idea which I hadn't thought of :oops: Not a big risk - we'll travel anyway (and have to travel at this time, though actual departure and arrival dates are a little flexible), and the worst outcome is we travel on points one way and paid on the return.

I know, according to the T&Cs at Frequent Flyer - Using Points - Qantas & Partner Classic Awards - About Classic Awards that you can "Book as early as possible - up to 353 days in advance." My question is do I need to wait until the return date is < 354 days away, or can I start the booking...

Thanks, had pretty much concluded this was my best option.

I am looking for a fee free card that has 1:1 QF points for a few (3 months) months use only. Or, if there is one were the application fee is near enough to bonus points. Must be Visa / MC - will only be used when I can't use Amex at 1.5, until my Citibank Visa uncaps. Thanks BJ

I think it actually proves everything. This is a customer who has chosen to move - despite a long history of being a "loyal" customer, who has moved because the benefits don't add up for this customer. It doesn't matter really whether the benefits might be there or not, if a customer...

Would be interesting to test that. Problem is, that would be cutting off my nose to spite my face; I would end up with no benefits, rather than less, because I'm pretty sure they'd offer to refund a tiny proportion of my original fee. If we lived in a more litigious society (and I'm glad we...
