    Getting to the US in J with points?

    Is this realistic at the moment? I had a look and there's hardly anything from any East coast city to anwyhere in the US. I would be happy flying to LAX/SFO/DFW/NYC, or really anywhere I can get a J award seat. Alternatively does anyone know of any clever J fares from Australia that earn QF...

    Anyone want to take a request for $$?

    I am flying BNE - Europe in July and looking for someone to create a fare for me. I have ~200k QF points but the girlfriend doesn't. Happy with split fares but looking for J preferably with OW. Happy to compensate someone if I go with their fare.

    Bid Now Upgrade "Eligibility"?

    Does anyone know who or what is eligible? I'm flying BNE - SYD - DFW on a sale fare. Silver QFF. Do they just email out offers starting at the highest fare type/FF combo and then work down from there? Thanks

    Which partner FF programs can QF check without your card present?

    So for example you don't have your EK or One World card with you, but want to get into the lounge, do they have computerised access to check status for all partners?

    Oneworld Award +++ to Europe Comparison

    I'm trying to book 2 seats in J to get to Europe through QF and on QF/EK metal They've just quoted me circa $1500 return in taxes per person for J seats. I'd prefer not to be bent over so badly so does anyone have a rough comparison for if I can find flight all the way through on MH/QR etc? I'm...

    J reward seats BNE DFW May 2017

    I haven't got a huge amount of experience looking with QF for award seats, but the website is showing no availability for the entire month of May for 2 pax? Surely there's a reason behind that rather than them all actually being booked?

    Using 108k QF points for EK A380 AKLBNE in F class?

    I'm flying AKL BNE in September and thought my girlfriend might like to try out the F suites, and for 4 hours the points required aren't too ridiculous. Is the experience AKL BNE the same as BNE DXB and other long-haul routes? I read one review that said they were only allowing a choice of...

    Call centre unable to do 3 leg award booking...

    Paris - Sydney is available on points with EY/VA, Sydney - Brisbane available well. Won't come up as one online and call centre says they have to do 2 separate bookings unless I pay the amount of points required for each individual leg. Surely this is wrong?

    Krisflyer waitlist redemption timing out

    Trying to book 2 x business class seats Brisbane - Copenhagen 29 June. Called Krisflyer, through horrible English and a broken line managed to establish that 50% of the points needed for the redemption is required in the account in order to waitlist. I have that. She said I also needed to...

    So I've got a pair of nice Bose headphones I accidentally borrowed from my suite to Sydney recently, but unfortunately the 3 plugs on the current jack don't fit into my iphone. Anyone know of an adapter you can buy to fix this? Thanks

    No status recognition or lounge access on Delta domestic

    VA platinum. Flew from JFK - Vegas today on Delta on an award seat booked through VA. Only sector on itinerary. Get to priority check-in and show VA card. Woman asks me what the airline code is for VA and puts my number in. Am told baggage not included. No big deal as I wasn't actually sure...

    Tricking the season restrictions by using an earlier domestic...

    So you used to be able to get a domestic flight BNE - SYD say 20 October, fly back to Brisbane on a separate booking, then do SYD - LAX 20 December on the same ticket as your 20 October flight and the system would price it as though you were leaving in October which is a much lower and cheaper...

    BNE - LAX in Business - best value using Velocity points?

    Hi all, just after some opinions on whether paying the extra for NZ/HA/DL (I can get VA direct from BNE) are worth it using points in J? I've got enough points for any of them but obviously don't want to waste them! Has anyone flown DL in F? Thanks!
