Thanks - the 3 early morning CBR-SYD flights are all still sitting in Canberra without even a firm departure time, so I assumed Sydney would have been chaotic. Update: ABC News is reporting the issue as only affecting domestic flights, though I’m not sure if that’s accurate.

Looks like it's going to be an interesting morning in Sydney - apparently the entire ATC radar system has gone down and the airport is on ground stop. I can't find any other information online at this point, only what the lounge staff here in CBR have announced - anyone else affected?

I got this email a couple of weeks ago purporting to be from eBay: That one set off every warning bell for malicious emails - no reference to our user ID, poor spelling & grammar, no punctuation, strange terminology, reference to previous messages that we hadn't received, etc etc. Turns out...

At our previous house we didn't have a letterbox (by choice - we pulled it out when doing a knockdown-rebuild and never put one back) and we'd had an active mail redirection from that address to a PO Box in place for around 8 years. Still didn't stop Australia Post from dropping letters...

I've never flown SQ before but with their new direct CBR international flights starting in a few weeks I thought I'd consider them for an upcoming trip CBR-WLG-CBR. Either I've found a booking glitch, or this is a really great opportunity to earn some extra status credits / points / whatever SG...

My most specific example of QF keeping notes on their customers was one I encountered on a SYD-LAX trip back when QF flew First on the 747s. If I'm flying solo I usually spend some time chatting with the staff on long-haul flights - usually small talk about work, travel habits etc. This time I...

Thanks all for the messages - the pass is going to a good home.

As the title says, I've found another QC pass lying around at home - valid until end of April 2016. Usable at the domestic Qantas Club or International Business Lounge. Happy to send out to the first interested member with 10+ posts.

Nothing anywhere near those Chinese purchases, but a few years ago I bought my wife's new car on Amex - about $180k. That was before the $/point ratio was downgraded to 1:1, so we ended up with enough QF points for a RTW J redemption.

Just thought I'd check back into this thread to wrap things up. My comped WP status took effect from 1 October when my membership year restarted, with my new card arriving about about a week before I was due to fly out. I returned from that trip 8 days later with 1130 SCs, so not quite the...

If they have a suitable tipple on their menu it wouldn't hurt to ask for it to be loaded on your flight, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Qantas still include Penfolds Grange in their in-flight wine guide, but despite my asking every time the First Host calls before a fight I've never been...

I'm with the OP to some extent - the new Status Credit wheel and text can be a bit confusing to know where you stand in terms of status. For example, my status always shows as "Lifetime Gold" next to the wheel, but "Platinum" at the login option at the top of the website page. Similarly...

And to make matters worse, that's a promotional image from the very first QF A380 launch when they still served decent champagne in F... :)

I'm a jeans & t-shirt flyer myself, but I'll never forget an exceptionally well dressed older gentleman back when Qantas had an F cabin on the 747. He boarded in an immaculate pin striped suit, with vintage leather hand luggage that looked like it had been in storage since purchased new in...

Sorry mate - took about 5 minutes for my inbox to be filled with PMs. The pass has been spoken for - thanks all.

As the thread title suggests, I've got an unneeded Qantas Club / International Business Lounge pass with an expiry of January 2016. Was issued to my 5yr old when she dropped back to PS this year, but she's unlikely to be flying by herself and needing lounge access... If anyone wants it, send...

Tried that - got the "privacy reasons" response despite having his FF number and PIN, and was told he'd need to chase up the SCs himself.

Technically too early for the Squid, but every time I've asked upon arrival at the lounge they've made some for me before boarding. It's my favourite brunch snack!

Funny you bring this up. I received the offer back in April as well, and I booked two separate trips under the offer, both in Business (so Y status credit earn). For flights I took on 30 April I called in early June to follow up on the credits and was told I hadn't registered for the offer...

Saw it today when browsing on my iPad. Doesn't appear when on the laptop. I'm guessing that upgrading to a paid AFF membership is the answer to removing it - something I should look into myself.
