airline status

Hi Sexy People I Booked my FIRST Status run (yay) at the end of July during the status run promo earlier this year, It was through Flight Centre who have now spoken with Qantas FF team about my situation. If Qantas reissue the ticket outside the "promo period" then it will be deemed a normal...

Hi Can anyone tell me, do you have to take the flight to get QF points . I have a MEL-SYD return booked with double status credits. I need the SC to make it to Gold but don't really want to fly . Do I get the points if I don't board the flight ?

https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/status-and-clubs/status/status-extension.html Interesting thing I noted this evening due to virus cutting out much travel. Can't imagine Virgin cannot do the same right now. Virgin seem totally missing in action in the past week or two, with any...

We have a number of Qantas international flights booked for August through October, all made under the recent double status credit deal. Qantas is now offering rain checks but says nothing about peripheral contractual conditions of the fares. Similarly, if it is impossible to use a rain check...

Noticed the My Bookings page on the Qantas website seems to have been updated with a (welcome) enhancement in the last few hours. Each flight now displays the amount of QFF points and Status Credits that will be earned. There is also a tally at the bottom that is based on all of your upcoming...

Well looks like my plan to keep my platinum status a sprung a leak given the latest cornavirus issues. Sydney to Japan flight all booked months in advanced now either I may need to cancel or amend the booking dates which then causes issues since I need another 2 sectors. It would be very nice...

TAP Portugal (a Star Alliance member) is offering a status match challenge to people that already have elite status with another airline outside of Star Alliance. Could be another shortcut to Star Alliance status (in addition to the existing TK and UA status matches). Oneworld Sapphire &...

Many of you would be aware that the QFF points and status credit calculator was overhauled in late January with a slew of 'enhancements' in true Qantas style. Most notably, the new calculator is slower and less intuitive than the one it replaced, and no longer offers calculation of multi-city...

Massive DSC offer to boost demand following Corona Virus: https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/media-releases/qantas-and-jetstar-cut-flights-in-response-to-coronavirus/#_ftn1 Full terms and conditions: Link...

SC calculator has been revamped/merged with classic award/upgrade calculators: Qantas Points Calculators | Frequent Flyer Personally I dislike it - you can no longer string multiple legs together and see a total SC count. The one positive change is the "what you need to know" section which has...

Trying to look at doing the “famous” J SYD-DPS-SYD status run (with flights from MEL as well) looking on the QF website it won’t let me arrive and depart on the same day. (Ie. only stay in DPS for 1.5hrs). how have people gotten around this?

Hi everyone, could I please get confirmation that my understanding of Qantas status renewal/ expiry is correct. Currently my status total says I need to earn xx_ more status credits to attain the next level of status Before Monday 30 November 2020. Now if I have a flight on Monday 30...

Just received this email: Guess I'll book a few flights for work after Christmas... I also have more potential flights in January but don't think I can lock any of them in until after New Years unfortunately!

I have recently flown to uk with Qatar and I'm flying there again in january with Emirates, both with One world. I have been told by qantas that I'm unable to receive and credits or points because my flights are with a certain subcategory. Qantas websites says eligible for both credits and...

Hi all. Hoping someone has a recent experience that can clear up a contradiction on the QF website for me. I'm looking at some J fares out of Oslo and Stockholm next year that are very attractive. The QF earning calculator says J from Oslo or Stockholm to Doha earns 30 SC, but the partner...

Any ideas if there is a pattern to velocity offering a Double SC promo? I need to book some flights for the family from Canberra to QLD for 2020 and I will need double SC or similar to get me over the line to getting back to Gold which would be great for our trip to the USA in 2021. Also, I...

Qantas have released another double status credit offer. It is not open to all persons. It is a targeted offer. You must receive an invite and register. 'Get ready to fly higher with double Status Credits on eligible Qantas operated flights with a QF flight number worldwide in all cabins. And...

I couldn't find a similar thread, so here goes: I'm pretty good at managing my family's Qantas Accounts and helping everyone to achieve their desired Status for the Year, so I was pretty shocked to find that I had miscalculated (or so I thought) by several hundred Status Credits for one...

Hi All, newbie here, question to you all, I am a gold QFF, short of 135 Status point to retain in 3 wks, any advice on how to do achive this? txs

My membership year ends on 30 September. Having slid from Platinum to Gold a couple of years ago after an unpleasant incident caused me to shun Qantas for a while, I was on track to regain Platinum status this year. However on or about 3 September, with 1235 status credits, and bookings for...
