    QF status earn on JAL

    If a JAL domestic flight in L was credited, then I give up 🤷‍♂️ Anything is possible. Book, fly, and wait for the computer to surprise you 😂

    QF status earn on JAL

    I was hoping no further questions will come out of this LOL. Too many keen eyed AFF experts here haha. I think OP’s question has been answered given none of the Explorer Pass tickets will earn QFF points. But yes, I spent 15min navigating the JAL website to book domestic flights (which...

    QF status earn on JAL

    I am not well versed in JAL bookings. But I will give it a shot with deciphering the tables from Qantas. I love cross checking tables to get my head around QF earnings. I just randomly plugged in the airports and dates using the site you (OP) linked. You can click on Show details on the right...

    SYD DOM J Lounge - Dining Improvements

    Yes, Spice Bar is pretty good. I only wish they serve things before 1200. last time I was there, of the four food warmers they had, two were rice: Biriyani. And more plain rice to go with the curry. I mean, rice is good. But that’s a lot of rice options…

    Invited to participate in a QF Loyalty Virtual Focus group

    I attended a similar, but probably different purpose, session. Mine offered 8000 points for a 45min chat. I thought it was all about QFF programme and how it could do better…so I spent some time thinking about my recent QFF experience and how it could be improved… NOPE. The chat all about the...

    Hong Kong lounge

    I wonder if Skyteam has any plans to reopen their lounge in HKG. Isn‘t it siting right around Gate 5? Always a reminder when heading to the Deck, or looking over from the QF lounge. on a side note, the Skyteam lounge in SYD is more or less the same as the Plaza Premium lounge next door. The...

    Putting elite status bag tag onto carry on. Yay or Nay?

    I still have high hopes for airport security in AU, once they fully rollout scanners that don't require us to take out our laptops and liquids! Perhaps I am being too optimistic... Last I passed through MEL International, the staff that dealt with a line of people waiting for their bags to be...

    Hong Kong lounge

    Glad to hear that @kpc. I'd largely agree, the food at The Pier F was excellent! Better than The Wing F. But to be honest, I found the table service "too attentive". I had five staff staring at me from the side of the room, all waiting to see if my next small move implied I wanna order something...

    Hong Kong lounge

    I recently visited the QF lounge at HKG around 1700, just before catching a QF flight. Thought I'd share some thoughts and make comparisons between the QF and CX lounges (J). **Staff:** The staff at the QF lounge were exceptionally friendly and easy to strike up a conversation with. During my...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Haaaang on.. I believe you sneaked in a picture of the food from The Pier (CX) 😏 - Well done on scoring yourself a spoon btw. They are hard to come by for some reason. I wanna see the QF yum cha trolley!

    Putting elite status bag tag onto carry on. Yay or Nay?

    Mine usually stays on. the way I place the Qtag means it often hangs from the overhead locker unless I tug it under. Bit of a pain. I quite like the design of the centenary logo on the tag I received though.

    QF128 - Unable to select row 5 as WP [A380, F sold as J]

    I wonder how many P1/CL pax in average are on any given flight. Suppose would be heavily route and time dependent.

    Thank you, @JohnM ! Bummer. Chances for upgrades on the way back is next to zero. Better grab a few snacks from the lounges beforehand 😅
