Indeed - I constantly remain amazed at the knowledge the posters/commenters have here; it's greatly appreciated! Thanks to @RichardMEL for his fast response too; I'll be taking the Mel-Chch/Chch-bris-mel for 450SC at around $1800 (happily I've rellies in Chch so I'll crash at their place...

Hi - hopefully this isn't crazy/stupid question, but are QantasLink flights (i.e. QF1263 Bris-Melb) included in the DSC? It appears that they are a Qantas owned and operated flight, but they weren't specially called out in the T&Cs; hence my slight confusion. Cheers

Hi Lynda - thanks for this. My flights are all booked but this might explain why I couldn't do a Dubai-Rome leg with Emirates (that said, we got the Business Class seats out of Melbourne - Dubai on Emirates, so I'll take that win! Cheers

Mate - that's exactly what I was hoping for! Cross fingers indeed!

Thanks mate - I think I'm the architect of my own error as I took the booking thru to the payment page for my entire party, and then when I went back to split it into two (as one person has to come back early), they'd all vanished. I'm hoping (if this is a thing) that the Classic Seats are...

Good afternoon all Apologies if this isn't the right thread but I'm trying to confirm business class seat availability for Melb-Dubai on 23 March on the 0615 flight EK409. There were seats available (up to three) and they seemed to have vanished between refreshing the screen. Regards

Yeah... problem is that the Dubai flights are really the quickest (at least from what I've seen) in terms of time in air as well as spent on the ground. Price is usually better too. That said, lining up a March trip to Italy; hopefully a DSC offer will land in Feb but won't hold my breath!

Cheers for the quick response. Lesson learned for next time!

Apologies if this has been asked/confirmed in another thread; are Emirates flights with a QF flight code not included in the DSC? I've received standard status credits only, and wasn't sure if its something to chase up. Thanks in advance

Morning - she's indeed on a 787 for both QF6 (Rom-Per) and QF10 (Per-Melb). The only thing I'm not sure off is whether that's the same plane which will make the Per-Syd run the same day. At any rate - looks like a call to Qantas or failing that, bidding for her to have an upgrade to Business...

It doesn't seem to be - according to her booking, she lands at T3, but then is departing at T4 out of Perth to Melbourne. I'm not aware of any lounge restrictions for Perth domestic - starting to suspect I might need to call Qantas to sort out

Hi - hope this is the right place. I've booked my daughter a flight out of Rome to Perth (Premium Econ) to Melbourne (Economy) - all on the same booking, and all on Qantas (ie QF6 and QF10 respectively). I've tried to set up a complimentary lounge invitation for her to visit the Perth...

Annoyed doesn't begin to cover it. I quite literally did this last weekend to fly to NZ and back to ensure I would have enough points to retain WP.

Cheers - wasn't sure if Chc allowed me to just get back on my return flight without first entering the country. As an airport tend to find its quieter/easier than Auckland. Plus the times seem to line up pretty good (noting as you say if QF133 is late then it'll change my day!) Ideally I...

Yeah - might give them a call tomorrow to see what the story is. I'll be 90% of the way there so will be interesting to see what they say. I've had luck with them before on a similar inquiry but that was 10 years ago.....

Cheers - I've found a good outbound leg on classic awards for 18k, and then a business class return on the same day via Sydney for 167k P&P which should provide 135 SC. More than enough to retain! Shouldn't have this problem next year (cross fingers)! Thanks for all the advice - really...

Heh - have to admit that was a timely sale! Thanks for the reminder

No worries - I do have Points Club Plus, but it probably isn't enough to do the job!

Apologies - can't remember what PC stands for :-) Thanks to the other two members confirm P&P though! Greatly appreciated!

Afternoon all I'm currently 120 SC off retaining my Platinum status and am looking at doing a Mel-Chch return run in a single day. I'm a bit strapped for cash so was looking at using Points + Pay (and yes - well aware that this is a terrible use of QFF points), but wanted to confirm that it...
