    Thank you for your loyalty

    I sent Qantas some feedback to say the bonus status credits are of zero value unless I have the option of getting them in the next membership year. Let’s see if I get a reply.

    Thank you for your loyalty

    Would have liked the option of rolling the status bonus over to the next year, that would have been fairer to those who don’t need it to re-qualify in their current year.

    What's your Uber experience?

    Had an interesting experience with catching Uber to Melbourne airport today. Noticed the trip fare was $10 more than quoted so looked at the App and noticed driver had claimed to have dropped me off at Essendon fields (6km away). Queried it and got it reversed. I think some Uber drivers are...

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Does anyone know what time the spa closes during the week in Sydney? I’m aiming to get to the lounge just before 5pm on Monday but think it’s probably too late to try and get a booking?

    Los Angeles (LAX) Transit Questions & Tips

    Will be flying Alaska Air from Anchorage (via Portland) to LAX then QF to Melbourne. Separate tickets and 4.5 hours layover so fingers crossed it’s enough time. I believe I’m flying into terminal 6 and assume will need to collect bag and walk to terminal B. My question is what is the...

    Who is going to the USA, who has changed their travel and what will you do differently?

    I just did my ESTA application today and it was quite stressful to be honest. Some of the questions are rather strange, I had to enter a current or prior employer which was a compulsory question and no option to answer that you are retired. Going on an Alaskan cruise in July which was booked...

    Qantas Red Planet

    I got one about opinions on various car brands and after answering about 20 questions rating the different brands I was told that I wasn’t a match and only got 15 points which I thought was rather scummy.

    Article: Latest Changes May Not Fix Qantas’ Reward Availability Problem

    Agree with what others have posted. Another issue related to CR availability is not being able to purchase one way sale fares on international routes. Instead Qantas rips you off by only selling higher priced flexible fares. Yes I know that J fares are hard to find (although as a platinum FF i...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    My status credits total was incorrect both on the App and website today. Shows 1016 when it should be 1096 (80sc difference) but flight from Wednesday for 80 sc is showing in the transaction list. Called Qantas and agent told me she can see my sc total as 1096. Strange. Will see if it updates...

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Anyone had issues getting their green tick after switching gas to Red Energy? I switched on 21 Nov and received email from Red Energy in December confirming the switch. Terms and conditions say green tick will be received within 40 days of the switch but QFF are demanding a red energy invoice...

    Qantas Status based Lounge Access before Fiji Airways Flights

    I’ve done an annual trip to Fiji using points for the past 3 years and as a WP have always been given access to the First lounge without any issues (despite traveling on an FJ flight) so you should be okay.

    AFR's Joe Aston goes BAM!

    I read the article in the Age this morning. He makes some good points and in my view public servants and politicians should not be allowed to accept a Chairman’s Lounge membership (or fly business class on a 1 hour flight!). However it seems very one sided, the Liberal politicians accept these...

    Qantas Car Insurance

    Swapped my car and home insurance to Qantas earlier this year to get the bonus points. Literally the day after I reversed my car out of the garage before the garage door had fully opened and damaged both the garage door and car! Claimed for a new garage door on the Qantas home insurance. Found...

    Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but can someone please confirm if flights booked as classic + earn any more status credits for Points Club passengers than classic award flights?

    New Adelaide Qantas Club & Business Lounge

    I was in the old CL Lounge on Monday morning at around 9am. Haven’t flown out of Adelaide for a few years so I actually thought it was the new Business Lounge 😀. WP traveling in Economy with one guest. Thought the lounge looked pretty good, not sure why they need a new one. I noticed that in...
