    Qantas swaps Upcoming Flight A330 for A321XLR

    I appreciate the interest of most AFF posters in the amenities of the J cabin offered by QF. However unless on a DONEx or an upgrade it is unlikely I would be flying QFF J. Therefore my real issue is the Y seats on the QF A330s (2x window/aisle) are the most comfortable in the fleet (subject to...

    New Jetstar Routes - General Discussion

    For those of us who need to arrive in Perth at a time suitable for a 5 hour drive home, the JQ flights were a possibility. And used in Feb 2025. How about PER-CMB or PER-BLR? Might ignore timing problems for those. though Economy plus in the first 6 rows would be appreciated. Now the...

    Qantas unveils the biggest changes to status in program history

    Should Jetstar refit its A321LR fleet and install Business Class for Asian offerings?

    PER-BLR and PER-CMB are certainly within the range of the 321neo Would allow opening up the sub-continent without needing a 787. convert the first six or seven rows (which are extra $ seats already) to economy plus with an extra 4-5" of leg room. Better alternatives for cheap(er) wandering Fred

    Qantas? You Call those the Biggest Changes to Status in the Program History? Ha!

    Excuse the rant. For someone whose most frequent flying was from 1978 to 1991, I have little compassion/consideration for those complaining about not having credit for flights prior to the creation of the current QFF program. A ten year break in the 1990s saw me lose 32K points with PanAm/AA...

    QF Double Status Credits February 2026 Promo

    Be very careful with MH business tickets. The fare you have quoted is almost certainly "Business Basic" or Z class which only earns as flexible economy in QFF. Still an inexpensive business seat (which earns little) is sometimes acceptable when wandering Fred

    Do I earn Qantas status credits on my MH Econ Flex ticket?

    Similar fare discussion on FT in the BA thread group. The BA "elite commentators" were adamant that "O" class on BA ticketing was ONLY there to enforce the "NEVER refundable" part of the ticket rules. Of course crediting only to BA is a minor issue for them. Sometimes a member of other frequent...
