Michael O'Leary's wet dream.

Oh, yeah in J I've paid for $2.8k return on QF via SYD in the past, though comparing nonstop routes, Garuda now charges >$4k for the same route on worse seats, test dates I put in show $3.5k on QF. Travelling in Y, difference is significant. Paid $1.2k return two months ago while QF seems to be...

Loving this development. Would put some fire under Garuda, since they fly their inferior 2-2-2 J seats, and charges varying premiums over QF depending on time of year, and lower my cost of routine travel :)

I routinely get targeted offers of 1200 for $30 or 2000 for $50 on flybuys. Stop shopping for a few weeks and it returns, though there was this stretch late last year where I constantly get 1200 for $30 every 4 days, just as the last offer was ending, the same offer comes back for the next 4...

I'm still over 6 months away from status expiry.

Finally gold proper. Do you get any physical cards/tags sent upon attaining the proper status after the status challenge?

Had the same thing happen to me on a recent reward booking. Carrier+taxes were double charged to my card, called contact centre and was told to wait up to 2 weeks for one of them to drop off, which eventually happened.

I think I'm one of those Dec 2022 crowd as well. I saw that I got the quiz credit somehow, which is why I jumped on the donation leaf as there was a 20% points discount for the year end.

Guessing I know what the answer will be, but just to confirm: Do they verify you live in the state you "offset your home and car" in for the purposes of Green Tier?

Hey all, Family members will be travelling EY GVA-AUH in Y, connecting to an onward EY flight in J (successfully bid upgraded). Would they have lounge access in GVA, or just in AUH?

2 vouchers up for grabs. One expiring 17 Dec is taken, the other 24 Dec is taken. If you joined AFF >1 month ago and want to use one or both, PM me. All are taken!

VA319 MEL-BNE First time flying VA J and the lounge breakfast is underwhelming IMO. Only hot options were scrambled eggs and bacon, cold spread was either cereal, an egg+scalloped-potato thing or tuna/ham-cheese wraps. Even Qantas Club has a better breakfast offering. Ended up using my Priority...

I rarely transit thru 2 diff airlines, but last time I did pre-COVID (Feb '20) QF tagged my bags through 2 separate PNRs: QF SYD-HKG F award and JL/CX HKG-NRT Y codeshare rev. FWIW, when I was in CGK last month, I don't recall seeing the international transfer desks in their usual spot still...

QF41 SYD-CGK 28/09/22 Pretty sure they just straight up ran the menus through Google Translate. There's at least one obvious grammatical error, and the drinks section is English only (same as every other Int J menu I've seen). Other wise the barramundi is OK, and quiche is good.

Literally 15 minutes later I got the approval email.. :P

Sent an application afternoon of 20/9, still have yet to receive a response. Might resend again tonight just in case.

Is SQ holding back Saver availability from VA? I'm seeing PER-SIN available on Saver w/o waitlist, but nothing on VA on the same dates. Or maybe is this one of those situations you badger a VA CS for answers?

Different PNR, but considering OLCI is available, I would likely have the BPs for both flights on my phone before I fly to CBR. Don't think it's a big deal either since the J Noodle Bar in MEL doesn't open til lunch anyway. Though have you seen those apology invites pop up on the website? Can...
