    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    What's the deal with transferring from Qantas Sydney domestic to Sydney international for Qantas? There's the gate 15 domestic transfer (hopefully comes regularly). And then assume it just lumps you at security and you go through the whole process again with carry-on, etc?

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Hmm. Both my wife and I re-reached Points Club ages ago (me about 2 months ago, her about 6 months ago), and nothing. Used the old vouchers we got, but nothing since.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Has the location of the Points Club vouchers changed? I swear it used to sit under Points Club (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/my-account/points-club.html), but now it's just information for what it is rather than wine/hotel vouchers (yes, I'm logged in).

    Citi Prestige Unlimited Priority Pass Access: Can I Check-In Friends Separately?

    Well, my experience was, sadly, different. I activated my Priority Pass in October. No problem. Then cancelled my Citi credit card in early November. Went to Sydney airport last week, used Priority Pass there - no problem. The visit appeared in my history the next day. Two days later...

    The Qantas brand is safe

    The Qantas brand isn't "safe". It is at risk. If it continues to be a poor value proposition over the longer term, people will eventually give up and put their money elsewhere (assuming there is a consistently better alternative). What it has going is, I feel, that most people *want* their...

    QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

    Redeemed for points on 30 August, got 5k points added 1 September, but not counted towards new Points Club total. But have had 41 other points added so the tally is updating. Oh well.

    QFF Bonus Status Credits/Points gift on back of Aug 2023 profit

    Hmm. QFF anniversary is 31 August. Points take "up to 4 business days" to land. If redeemed on 30 August when the offer ends, maybe QFF points would arrive in September... Could help towards another PC+... Offered 75SC/5000pt. Have done 2 rewards flights and 7 paid flights in the last 12...

    The Midlife Crisis thread

    My 'crisis' came in my early 20s, realising that I hated my job, and that it wasn't as simple as just finding a different one. This is generally a high-achieving professional group of people, so many might not relate. But I hate(d) work full stop. The restriction of needing to be a certain...

    Qatar denied extra capacity into Australia

    From the Guardian today: "‘Ghost flights’: Qatar Airways flying near-empty planes in Australia to exploit legal loophole Qatar Airways has been flying near-empty, and sometimes entirely empty large passenger jets every day between Melbourne and Adelaide to exploit a loophole allowing it to run...

    Citi Prestige Unlimited Priority Pass Access: Can I Check-In Friends Separately?

    Question on activating the Priority Pass membership with this card. Is membership length tied to your card being active? Or is Priority Pass active for a year from the time of activation, regardless of whether the Citi card is still active?

    The Virgin Australia Newbie Questions Thread

    Thanks for the earlier replies folks. Appreciate it. Are there any particular airline/airport pairs that come with cheap taxes? Eg: In OneWorld land, FinnAir is exceptional value.

    Best Economy Seat Qantas A330-300 Economy

    Yes, presumably for a refurbished bird - only have one economy deck to choose from. From the in-app seat map, it has a galley icon for the two rows behind row 77 before going to row 78. And there's another galley icon row in/before row 48. The in-app map also has space for approximately 7...

    Best Economy Seat Qantas A330-300 Economy

    Anyone done row 77 on the Qantas A380? From what I can think of: Pros: - Can reline all flight without any guilt. - No one kneeing your seat. - Less *passenger* noise since there's 'no one' behind you. - Might generally feel more 'snug' in the corner if trying to sleep. - Would smell better...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    Hoping not :(. Looking to travel 8 or 9 April, and NSW isn't in holidays yet, it's later in the holidays for the other states, and it's a Monday/Tuesday so hopefully less demand. There was availability that time April this year. But you could well be right in any case. I would have thought...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    A question for the higher tier souls who might feel pity on a hapless Silver. Are any of you seeing economy rewards seats for SYD-LHR in April 2024 yet? Seeing heaps up until 22 March, but after that it's a drought - almost two months now up to 16 May.

    Qantas doesn't care about priority boarding

    My goodness, it's a dream come true. ... And now wait for everyone to store them flat - longways no less, and fights break out as people try to move them. Normality, sadly, resumes.
