Hi All, I'm based overseas, however, I'm planning to be in Oz over the next 4-5 weeks (based in Melbourne). I need to get 4 QF flights as cheaply as possible, does anyone have any idea of how I can do this? It seems like a couple of day trips ex MEL are really expensive and I just wanted to see...

Does anyone else think that QF is heading this way? I'm assuming with Velocity for example, they would have lost a lot of members after moving to a wholly spend-based program. I'd be keen to know how that affected Velocity and also BA.

Amazing! Thanks for the advice - going to check these out now.

When I put that into google flights, I get costs upwards of £600 - what dates are you looking at and what prices are you getting? For example, I did a multi-city entry of INV-LHR-MAD-AGP and got £650. When I do that return, it is over £1,000. Is there something I'm not doing right?

Thanks for this - seems really handy. How do I replicate it or get it to price like that? I've tried google flights, but I'm getting significantly higher prices.

I will ask about the tie - but it wasn't the first person, they asked for a manager and he spoke to them. I didn't include that in the initial post as I was trying to keep it as short as possible. 1712386775 The booking showed all three pax, but they didn't check the ticket, which after we...

The person we spoke to was a manager.

Hi All, Qantas incompetence has reared its ugly head again. My brother, his wife and infant son booked a flight on Malaysia Airlines in J through QFF awards. When they showed up, they told them the infant was not ticketed, and were denied boarding. At the check in, the agent said to my...

I think this hits the nail on the head. Again, my belief is eventually, C+ will be the only award seats available. And based on simple maths - it just isn't worth it. I'd also like to add that QF J/F flights are more expensive than most. Etihad and QR have a better J product, often at a...

Ummmm money? That's why. And if that doesn't convince you, precedent. Every airline that introduces a new tier has effectively gutted their 'saver' award seats. Look at the US, Canada and even SQ closer to home. This will make Qantas a ton more money and so that's why they do it. Firstly, the...

'Classic CRs' are extremely hard to come by. The leaks show that the new tier will be priced at a point which is out of reach for many. The prediction of myself and many others is that those 'Classic CRs' will dwindle even more to a point where it is impossible to find them. 1712138787 Spot on.

I'd love for that to be true, but I actually believe CRs will soon be completely phased out and this is the first step in that process. QF has for a few years now only thought about the bottom line - unfortunately Vanessa Hudson seems to be worse than Joyce in that regard.

I'm struggling to see how anyone sees this change as anything but horrible news unless you're earning millions of points per year? Assuming that Classic+ rewards may be redeemable with no added taxes/fees/surcharges and being based on 'sale fares' (two massive assumptions), we are looking at...

I apologise I have no idea how the AA program works, but from a purely flying perspective and being based primarily in Aus, how would getting OWE through AA be easier? The only reason I ask is because I've had a look at Iberia, QR, BAEC and QF - and QF seems to be the easiest due to: 1...

Couldn't agree more. Although, I feel like there is no hope. QF just don't care about the customer. They have been found out and have been publicly called out - but nothing will change IMO.

Well the rates for 'classic awards' system isn't changing, but its very likely that the number of seats available will decrease. The reason I (and possibly others here) believe there will be a massive devaluation is that the new 'product/tier) will provide more availability at much higher...

I think it seems almost certain that it will be multi-tiered rewards similar to that of SQ KF, which in essence means a devaluation. QF FF doesn't release many premium seats as it is, and F is nearly impossible to get. This will mean that premium seats at the current classic rewards rates will...

Thanks for the review! You mentioned that you basically had a bed from 1 am to 7 am even though the lounge was closed from 2.30 - 5.30 am? I have a layover from midnight till 12pm soon (flying in F) - do you think I would be able to get a room with bed throughout the hours when the lounge is...

thanks Steven - appreciate the quick response.

Hi All, I land into Sydney Airport soon early in the morning from LHR (7am) and have a Virgin Australia flight to Melbourne at 6 pm on the same day on a different ticket. I have to go into Sydney for a couple of hours for a meeting before my MEL flight. Would I be allowed to use the VA...
