    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.

    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.

    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

    Travelling with a nut allergy

    Being lucky enough to not have to deal with any life threatening allergies, I would have an if/then plan in place in case he does use his two pens before he gets home. Basically before he goes he has the plan in his head already so he doesn't have that extra stress of what to do next.

    Are the days of Points collecting over?

    I don't think the days of collecting points is over as whole. My personal view is it is a combination both on the consumers and the programs need to change I think most people have to change their perspective of how play the point games both on the earning and redeeming side. On the earning...

    Qantas domestic economy meals

    The salad option is usually my 1st choice even (even on the rare occasion I'm in business) and it is mainly it is extremely hard to stuff up a salad and it generally looks more appealing than some of the other options shown above

    Gym in an airport?!

    As a self diagnosed fitness addict (I may or may not be travelling the LA in July for the weekend just for a fitness conference) I'm torn on this idea. On one hand I love the option to have a dedicated space to train I have completed my planned mobility work on floor of a business lounge. But...
