Our flight plans are usually 12 months ahead for annual holidays, so the good availability on SQ is encouraging. I think I'll be starting to accrue VA points from now on.

First up, your profile image triggers me. And if you are actually a QF 'insider' then your post highlights exactly why I wish to ditch QF. You seem to <not be aware a> TA will not deal with reward seats and will charge a decent fee to book any other trip. I do not need a call centre to make...

Some good points you make, and I agree in the main. OW status is a bit of a concern, but if we are flying J then we have lounge access and that's our priority. I can't see me giving QF enough business to go back to Plat so I need to find the best no-status call centre offering I can find. The...

That is plan C and on the table.

Not a great start indeed. Sounds like they went to the same training school QF uses.

Folks I am a rusted on QF-flyer of 20 years. But, QF customer service has broken me and and I am looking at moving my flying to Virgin and partners. The oversea's call centres that don't know IATA codes (DUB is not Dubai sweetie and you ought to know what LAX stands for) and their lack of...

Thanks. As I thought and was going to bat my eyelids at checkin to see what I'd get. We're going from BA to AY so I fully expect a SNAFU to occur at some point.

The Brains Trust at Qantas cannot tell me this so I call on the expertise here. I have a QF award booking that I had to cancel a leg from DUB-LHR due to timing. I've bought a cash ticket on BA DUB-LHR. The QF award now starts from LHR in a J cabin and has incurred a 200 Euro fee per pax. I...

I have a reward booking HBA-SYD booked mid 2024. At that time only Jetsar were flying on a Sunday, so I had to accept that. Yesterday I see that not only are QF flying Sunday, they are doing it with an A220 and the icing was there were reward seats in J on the first flight of the day. Perfect...

Thanks for this. Spent some time looking and Dublin Port does address this; Cruise Liners - Dublin Port Whilst there is a cruise ship berth that does not allow free wanderings, the berth we are scheduled for does allow one to walk around and enter/exit the docks. So, if all goes to plan we could...

Agree on the cab. Google doesn't show me how vehicles get in there. Trust me to find the one thing Google does not know :(

Yes, that's what has happened before with others. I fully expect to be grabbing a cab. The SS call centre was useless, they just read off the brochure.

Polar steps is one I have used. It's easy to use and the ability to load pictures real time or later with GPS coordinates, you can invite your Bestie's to follow (albeit having to sign up) but the biggest issue is tracking. It uses GPS seemingly exclusively which is an issue, especially on ships...

I see many Silversea veterans here so I have a question for you. We are booked on a Dublin/Dublin cruise next August. We have a reward flight out of Dublin at 10.30am the same day the cruise disembarks. This has been bought forward from the original time by BA and no other rewards seats are...

Trying to book hotels on QF site this arvo. Keeps locking out and logging me off. I think the technical term is it is Borked.

LOL. We got one more chance with a QF F CR in August. Be nice not to beg for a spa appointment. Like the WP I once was.

Year 1 I did some status runs when visiting my mother who wasn't well. Year 2 I took some of my inheritance and tripped the USA in AA First to achieve again. In hindsight, I should have done some status runs to NZ in DSC to retain but it duzznt matta - all flying next year is J so we get a...

I only had 365 SC at the end of the year. Popular consensus is closer to 1,200 SC the more chance of a points offer.

Yep. First log in this morning about 8.30am went from black to gold with status and flights still showing from last year. Logged in again about 10am. Status and flights nada. But, when I achieved WP it was just as instant going from gold to black.

I doubt it. We've got 4 rewards flights plus 4 AA and 2 BA paid flights booked in 2025 so will hit Gold OK. Reality is, I'm a solid Gold FF normally. 1st year of WP was due to sick parents, 2nd year was status support so the ride was good while it lasted. But, I didn't get much additional love...
