    Rocketmiles - anyone used?

    Has anyone used Rocketmiles? Seem to be some good deals for racking up AA miles. My main concern is that I suspect I can't get a Tax Invoice for Australian stays.

    Brains trust - QF seating on 2 leg journey

    Here's a question for the brains trust that I've always wondered... How does Qantas manage seating on journeys with two segments to keep seats free for through-passengers. Here's an example... let's take F on QF1.... One group of passengers selects half the seats in F for SYD-SIN and another...

    AA account locked

    My AA account has been locked. Anyone ever had this happen to them? I've called and been transferred from one person to another, now only to be told that the "security team" is closed for the day. It wasn't locked yesterday. Very annoying!

    Does QF release any international premium cabins to partners anymore?

    Qantas releases very few international premium cabin seats to its own frequent flyers and for a long time has released zero* seats to partners. First and Business availability has been zilch for partners. Searches on Expert Flyer always show zero for P, U and Z. Will this ever change? Sucks...

    Priority Pass guests (Amex)

    Does anyone know how much it costs to take additional guests (after first one free) into lounges using Priority Pass when the membership comes from Amex? The Priority Pass website says: "If you purchased your membership from us, your guest visits will be charged to your account at a fixed...

    Why does VA "status review" take so long?

    My membership anniversary was about 2 weeks ago, and the Velocity website still shows: Why does it take so long?

    Poor AA domestic award availability

    AA appears to be releasing very, very few domestic award seats when flights are loaded - for booking by FF partners. For example - August/September next year - I can't find a single award seat in any class between LAX and SFO. In the past, AA released heaps of seats on this route. I hope this...

    Is MEL QF F spa open?

    Does anyone know if the Qantas F lounge spa is open in Melbourne? Given all F flights have been pulled due to problems with A380 availability, is the spa even open?

    Hyatt suites... include breakfast?

    Does anyone know if a suite booking (including points upgrade to a suite) at Hyatt always includes breakfast? Or does it vary by hotel?

    Changes to QF T&C

    I see QFF T&Cs were changed yesterday (19 Sep). https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/discover-and-join/terms-and-conditions.html Any ideas as to what has changed?

    QF A380 coming off MEL/LAX

    For nearly all flights in December and January, flights MEL/LAX are zeroed out in F. Looks like the big bird is getting pulled off that route!

    Qantas international flights - adjusted by 1 minute

    Looking at flights a few months down the track, Qantas has adjusted the future departure times of what appears to be most (if not all) international flights out of SYD and MEL by 1 minute. Seems very odd. QF25 SYD/HND leaves at 8.56pm (instead of 8.55pm) QF81 SYD/SIN leaves at 11.36am (instead...

    Booking JAL F class award - A class

    Hopefully the brains trust can explain something for me. JAL F class redemptions book into A class. This is normally a commercial booking class. Yet it seems not all A class seats can be booked as an award seat. How does the system tell them apart?

    No P1 manual review for QF F class awards

    I've just been told there's no manual review available for P1s wanting to request F seats on Qantas. Droid only. Permanent blackout until end of 2023. Manual review still available for all other classes. Big disappointment. Loss of a major benefit of P1!

    Emirates routes with 2x F awards

    Struggling to find much F award availability on EK. Does anyone know of routes that generally have 2 seats per flight? Was much easier in the past!

    Lounge access cut for JQ?

    Not sure if this is a sneaky change or just a mistake... but looking at the QF lounge eligibility page... It appears JQ passengers only get lounge access when travelling on a Business Max fare. No more access for Qantas Club, Gold, Platinum, P1, etc...

    Requesting original mileage credit on VA?

    I know about requesting original mileage credit on QF... but what about Virgin? Due to a schedule change I'm going to have to request a reroute. At the moment doing two sectors for a status run but schedule change will result in being on a direct flight. Anyone had luck claiming status credits...
