How long has the card been closed for? Generally I find if it's less than a year the refund will actually succeed and you'll have to contact the bank to retrieve your money.

Increase in Carrier Charges (at least on QF operated flights) on awards too.

Not if you spend it all before 5 August (bookings up till ~July 2026) ;)

tbh I was fearing revenue-based status credit earn, so I'm glad that didn't happen. Devaluation is unfortunate though.

My stats for 2024: 40 Flights - 8 Econ, 28 Business, 2 US Domestic First, 2 Real First 114,082 kms travelled Countries Visited: 13 New Airports to me: LHR, DOH, DCA, LCY, GMP, KOJ, OSL, HEL, IZO New Airlines to me: BA, KL, QR, AY, ZL Op-ups: 2 Y-J, once on QF, once on JL New aircraft types...

QFF earn depends on the route, not the airline flown. All airlines flying a given route (excl. QF/JQ) will earn the same amount for a given frequent flyer category. Of course there's the MH case where the frequent flyer category is lower than expected for some routes, but otherwise everything...

Why would it be in Qantas's interest to do that? Japan Airlines is not releasing that many seats to Qantas members (or any non-JMB members at all I suspect). You can still get JAL seats reliably in all classes of travel if you book at the end of the calendar though, for instance;

Well if we think about CX PER HKG or HKG TPE (120 and 80 respectively), the earn is in line with a Qantas flight of similar length (QF SYD HKG is 120, SYD PER is 80). It's just the competing routes such as the aforementioned SYD HKG where you earn half (60).

Generally speaking you'll always earn if flying partner Premium Economy or above. You'll earn "full" status credits on flights unless it's a route where Qantas operates the route or sometimes if it's part of a 1-stop routing to Europe. There's a few other exceptions but that's generally the...

160k, but who knows what their system thinks

It looks like the HND-BNE once launched will arrive in Brisbane 1645 local, so you should be able to connect?

I wonder what the loads on NH889 are like. I've taken it once, but only in J so couldn't observe economy load.

The last VA BNE-MEL (VA356), last BNE-PER (VA474), and last BND-SYD (VA990) tonight (Sunday 10th) have been cancelled. I believe there was some bad weather that delayed the evening flights, but these flights were delayed beyond the end of the weather then cancelled.

I find that if you request a Classic Reward seat release as a Platinum member, they'll be happy to hold that seat for you for at least 72 hours. Once I managed to have them hold it for 7 days.

Where does the Eskimo data routes via (if in roaming mode)? A lot of these go via. Thailand or Singapore. It's not a big deal but a non-local IP sometimes breaks country specific services, and it also just makes general usage worse due to increased latency.

Yes (and it was fine).

No, you cannot make calls to numbers outside Australia whilst WiFi calling overseas

I've flown with a friend in Apex Suites and the window+aisle worked very well. You have to lean forward a bit but not a big deal.

Thankfully Hokey pokey is the best flavour :) I'm surprised you can get EXST on Business Class to be honest.

I dunno, haven't tried the A351. I booked the A351 for my trip to New York and they last minute equipment changed me to the 777 :mad:
