Hi Everyone! First off, I have sufficient points for either scenario, and I've flown Y on both the A380 and 747 on QF. I was waiting to confirm my need to travel in November (the week of the 4th) , if I was a couple of days quicker I could have snavelled a F seat on Melbourne Cup day on QF93...

Click HERE to view an article on this topic collaboratively compiled by our members using the (now retired) Wiki. I have the pleasure :D of flying JQ for a work trip in the next few days, I noticed on my BP that under my name it reads: "WCID, PBRD, WCID". I'm just curious if anyone has a...

Forgive me if this is either a) a stupid question or b) already been asked and answered but I can't seem to figure this out (or find an answer). Can I upgrade a friend who is traveling with me on the same PNR on a domestic flight using the online tool? I've never tried it with another person...

Hey Guys, Heading to Japan in a few months and I wanted to see if anyone had experience using one of the Prepaid Travel Cards over there (CBA, ANZ, or Travelex). I'm not traveling for long enough or regularly enough to justify a 28 Degrees card I don't believe, so I'm thinking a travel card...

Hi All, Just about to start a six week trip around North America and also down to St. Maarten to see the famous landings at SXM. Here are the flights I have coming up on the trip (hiring a car where a flight segments are missing, flying whY except where noted): HBA-LAX Qantas LAX-SEA...

Hi, I'm off to USA in a week or so on QF from MEL, I'm just curious to see if the baggage allowances for carry on have changed recently as I'm going to take by laptop backpack and a shoulder slung DSLR camera bag (not much larger than the 40D it's holding), both will be well under the 7kg limit...

I remember reading a little while ago about some people recieving calls from QF a couple of days prior to their trip to offer the chance to upgrade using points from deep discount Y fares (N,O,Q class for example) to a higher class. I'm curious to see if that's still occuring, or have loads...

I was reading an interesting thread on FT regarding someones problem gaining access to AC with their QP card. In the end I think its clearly resolved that QP members do get access to AC (likewise BA's terraces when on BA) when flying AA, just like what the QF website states. But I'm curious if...

Hey Guys, Heading to the US in a couple of months and am making a detour down to St. Maarten to get the obligatory shot at SXM (aka jets just over the beach). Does anyone have any suggestions for hotels (or ones to avoid) down there, or just any other info on St. Maarten that may be helpful? I...

Hi all, Just curious to see if anyone has any reccomendations for limos (ie. sedans not stretched :D, sadly I'm neither famous or pretentious enough for a stretch!) from LAX to Beverly Hills. Theres plenty to choose from when you google it but I'm curious if anyone has experince with any...

Hi All, I'm finally getting around to using my QP for the first time, I'm flying out on a JQ flight - do QP's stay open for the JQ flights? I know that if you fly JQ you can go into QP but here at HBA the final QF flight for the day is 1650 and I'm leaving at 1920 - will they stay open for it...

Hi, Does anybody know what the conversion ratio is if you transfer your Hilton Points to QF FF points? Is it a 1:1 conversion ratio?

Ok Guys, I'm struggling here and would appreciate some input from you seasoned FF's! I am tempted to join up to QP using the AFF Corp system (so $555 plus the $50 gold membership = $605 total outlay on my behalf). Although I'm having some difficulty justifying the cost to myself. Here's my...

Hi, I have flights booked on QF near the end of the year: HBA-MEL-LAX and MIA(AA) - LAX -MEL (via AKL) -HBA. I foolishly put both of our seating requests as Aisle, so we have ended up being allocated seats all across the cabin away from each other. Is this sytem computerised or did someone at...

Hi, Im hoping someone with experflyer access could have a look at QF74 that leaves SFO tonight (US time) and see how full it is going to be, Im sitting in the departures gate and I'm hoping its not too full! thanks very much! uzza

Hi All, Much to my disappointment I miss out on Qantas' A380 flight from SFO in January by 2 days :( However I am curious as to the type of 744 than normally does the route, is it always an ER or can the standard Longreach 438 make the trip without any trouble? (according to QF it's a 14.35hr...

I've just checked my booking with QF online and I am flying QF25 a day earlier than I had intended (this isn't suprising to me - STA warned they may have to change flights on me, I was booked on QF93 they next day), what is unusual is that the Equipment listed for this flight is a 747-300...

Hi, I've noticed that QF93 seems to be constantly delayed leaving MEL, for instance it was delayed today from 10.25am to 3.30pm and I'm pretty certian it has been late most days this week. Is there any simple explanation as to why this flight seems to get delayed often? It may seem a weird...
