    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Another consideration about "needing it" is if you are still chasing LTG or in my case LTS else its kind of pointless. Otherwise the only benefit is for those who still need it and the more people who still achieve it the longer it will potentially stay (and this is completely in myself interest)

    What makes a good airport and what's your favourite?

    100% agree with this which is why domestically I like Brisbane and Sydney and Melbourne really needs to get a train. Considering I'm going to be sitting for awhile I like airports where there are different areas I can walk around without having to leave the terminal from where I'm departing or...

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    Red Energy is owned by Snowy Hydro and they way the Network is set up they can't feasible offer power to anyone who isn't on the East Coast and SA (also excludes Northern Queensland)

    5 million QFF points being split for purchasing gift cards through QF Marketplace (16-26 October 2025)

    I wouldn't think so normally but they only need to sell a minimum of 200,000. Considering the headline offer will get a percentage of people to bite and the SC for spending on market place I wouldn't be surprised if they sell a lot more

    Earn up to 110 Qantas Status Credits on the ground

    I got that one as well and I'm in the same category as Mrs Excel - I haven't earned points from BP so potentially just dormant BP accounts

    How to Use Up Qantas Points? Obviously not on flights

    I 100% agree that they have a value and they are an asset its more how you value it and view it as either an appreciating or depreciating asset.. Your example makes perfect sense for me it's more a gut feel does spending X amount of points seem reasonable. which I can't really define That's one...

    How to Use Up Qantas Points? Obviously not on flights

    @drron just pointed out the key point and that is they are hard to find in a premium cabins. I just plucked a random week in Nov obviously economy tickets. I really think it boils down a couple of things 1. How do you personally value the points (personally for me it is sunk cost and they don't...

    Trying to understand these travellers' unfortunate ticketing/insurance problem

    I've seen a few on here before and it makes sense to have used a TA But the key part is missing in the story and I don't think we will ever know and that is why they ended up in Paris in the first place

    Trying to understand these travellers' unfortunate ticketing/insurance problem

    I just had a quick google flight search and I couldn't find that route without using the multi city booking and just booking BNE to SIN on Singapore the next leg states it is a separate ticket. My limited understanding of booking flights is if I've booked from A to B they will get me to me B and...

    WP moving to US, maintain status or move to AA?

    Apart from the 4 flight requirement for QF and the other things already mentioned. Two other things to consider 1. What do you value more - lounge access or the chance to be upgraded 2. Where are you going to be based if it is an AA hub your chances of an upgrade won't be that great

    AFF Point Valuations

    Isn't there sort of a live example of this happening with QF already with the "devaluation" (I really do not like the term) people are looking to book flights that may not be ideal A simple idea as to how you might factor the hard expiry in the valuation have the value set as a sliding scale...

    Worrying scenes from inside as Flight attendants try to evacuate plane

    If I was on that plane I would be tempted to re-enact the scene from Crocodile Dundee when he is in the subway and start climbing across the seats

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    I got those as well and can't remember the email, but I'm assuming it might have been around the same time as the domestic points offer a few months back.

    AFF Point Valuations

    For the most part I like the article and really appreciate both the effort and the reasonings behind your rankings. But the reason why I don't really 'value' the point valuations from someone else and it is alluded in the article "the value of a point really depends on how you use it" and that...

    Has anyone been able to permanently request not being allocated an exit row seat?

    I'm guessing you have already tried but have you emailed QF directly. As you said have said you will be moved anyway so I'm sure there has to be something they can do on their systems
