I'm looking for an affordable ticket home, hence looking for reward flights. Even Scoot one way to Sydney is $800+ with luggage etc. But that's what I'll end up doing I think :).

I think that is the case. The pent up demand due to covid related points build up... I better check out expert flyer alerts!... thanks for words of wisdom :)

I can't even find any seats KL to SYD for any date in 2024, up till Xmas 2025... not from HK, nor Manilla... only checking qantas reward flights. Maybe Wow, yes... I dont have enough points for two first class, but yes, I hadn't seen them. Still don't see them, maybe it's me.... I fear we...

I also checked february and march,... and not just KL to SYD... I think they have a temporary situation going on... and checked business/first too...

I was trying to book a redemption flight for me and my partner from Helsinki back to either/or SYD/MEL/CBR/DPO, but could not find a single redemption flight to Australia for December/Jan. Then I found alternative flights all the way to KL, which is an excellent place for a few days' break. Now...

I think we will get a left side seat in and out of Sydney. Canberra view from left is usually best leaving Canberra as well. And landing in Melbourne she may do a few more times before she goes. I appreciate the replies on this rather trivial random matter :) .

I've flown into and out Sydney and Melbourne many times but have isle seats and not flying for the views... this time I have a friend from Finland and want to know (statistically) which side of the plane to sit for best views both landing and take off for both Sydney and Melbourne. We are...

Ai, so now I try and link the invitation to the JQ flight departing Singapore and the first question is Departure Lounge Location, and Singapore is not an option. Can invitations only be used in Australia??? And she has a Melbourne Devonport connection that is rather tight, I don't want to...

Hi, I have a friend flying business class Finnair from Helsinki to Singapore next week. From there she connects to an economy JQ flight to Melbourne. I was going to link a lounge invite to that JQ flight but perhaps she can use the lounge in Singapore just because she is arriving on Finnair...

It also said effective from March 1 if I remember correctly. I'm flying between 10jan-20feb. It is all very tricky, but I think I'll go for $200 separate travel insurance.... I'm too confused about what will and will not be covered with amex card insurance wrt covid for my trip.

Same here. But I am very happy with 110k points that I got as soon as I bought my airfare to Europe with some accommodation. Also nice to get the $400 credit applied to my QF fare immediately and still receive the $200 rebate. Means I got $200 and 110k points. And the only reason I qualified for...

I just received the QF Ultimate AMEX for 110,000 QFF points as well. Also very happy to spend the $400 Qantas travel credit despite only p If you refer they can't get the other offers... So you get 60k points and they get 60k points I believe. So if it is your partner that is great (120k points...

Fantastic! I have cystic fibrosis and did it in 6 weeks comfortably. You will love it, best thing ever for walkers and non walkers alike. Plenty of support everywhere and plenty of accommodation options too. W

I must say I was most surprised in Tasmania when I bought a $45 book at a market they put my card into a manual swipe machine!!! In that case I can imagine the non embossed cards bring refused :). Reason for manual card machine was the was very sketchy internet available....

I fell everyone's pain. I try not to give advice anymore because it either backfires or they ignore your advice. Still it pains me to hear of people wasting 35000 QFF points on a points and pay Sydney Melbourne flight, or squandering 40k points on a business class upgrade on some domestic route...

IMHO QANTAS really doesnt care about loyalty, I'd ....it wasn't for the fact only qantaslink services my town I wouldn't touch them anymore. Sorry qantas, been disappointed and let down too many times.

Absolutely, it is often a little $$$, but you can always get an hourly rate like in Singapore.... Thanks for the suggestion. Also got the Amex Ultimate travel card which gives me QC and Amex lounge passes yearly. I only need a few a year, so between all the suggestions.... Next travel is to...

I am a Free Spirit and always book one way tickets (yes you can book and change later)... So over the past 10+ years they've never let me join their loyalty program (Captains Club) as you need to book a return journey. Crazy rule. My life is too random so they don't value that I've been on the...

I live in Devonport, and love using The Spirit. It is quite expensive in my opinion, but you do get a very good service. Also, I do not think the trip is rough, though you can get some bad storms that stop the ship from sailing, but mostly it is perfect. What some families do is get the driver...

Yes, I have never stopped it ... mainly because of the joining fee if i were to drop it :) But I need more for the odd international flight when not flying Qantas. Thanks also for the www.loungebuddy.com.au website DrGoz! Perfect travel buddy.
