Can someone get some inflight duty free for me?

[Dr_Goz]

Hi all,

This might be a strange request, but I’m hoping someone may be able to help me out by purchasing a Qantas Joey Club Baby Bodysuit on an upcoming Qantas international flight?

My wife and I are expecting our first baby, and she thought it’d be a cute announcement to have us wear the Qantas pajamas holding the little bodysuit.

A recent flight that had an aircraft change meant the In Sky shopping was unavailable, my next international flight is at the end of January and have just found out the In Sky shopping will be discontinued after the 1st of Jan.

I had made contact with the people at In Sky shopping to see if I can purchase it directly from them, and they have quoted a price of $96, which I think is a little unreasonable.



So hoping someone here could get this for me, then I can send the money plus a post pack to them (or straight money to reimburse for the bodysuit and postage) before New Years.

Cheers

I'm flying QF41 out of SYD on 20 December... Otherwise there may be others flying this month:
Wiki - Lounge Meets December 2017
Anyone else flying on Christmas Day?

Hey there Dr Goz,

I was going to offer to assist but my only flight before years end is heading inbound to Australia - and after just checking the pre-order page, it has to be done at least two days prior to flying and is only available on flights LEAVING Australia. So sorry

In any case, I bought one of those this year and gave it to someone for their baby - it is cute but is rather simple. I would not exactly describe it as "high quality". Just letting you know...

I'm inbound this Friday and outbound next Wednesday.

Thanks for the offer, I don't think the plan was to use it in the future, just for one of many fancy baby announcement photo's she has planned.

All in all trying to keep a first trimester wife happy.

That's awesome if you can help me out, I shall send a PM

I'm flying out this Saturday returning on the 19th so happy to help out too.

Perhaps someone on here associated with QF could 'lend' you one ...

Now I have to say, the OP and +1 would have to be a front runner for the AFF Tragic 2017 award!

I was about to also offer, but just realised my Sunday flight is a QF Tix but on PX metal, so unable. All the best for the upcoming birth Dr_Goz, I hope it all goes exceptionally well and the little tike grows up loving aviation! Another John Travolta in the making??

That is so cute.
I need this to add to a glory box for anticipated grandchild.

Have sent an email as I don't have a flight prior to Dec 31st

Thanks for this OP

I am flying on Christmas Eve. QF to AKL. Happy to oblige if you’re not successful before then.

Just PM me

Love how it will make mum happy and all the offers to help the OP!

Fingers crossed for you and congrats on the baby.

Outbound 13/12 back in Aus 8/1 if I can be of any help!

The baby suit has landed ...

 

[Dr_Goz]

The generosity of this forum never ceases to amaze me. Thank you to all who have offered, and a very huge special thank you to La Mouette who has been able to get it in such a short timeframe.

 

[Denali]

Yeah!!!!! Big group hug

 

[mrsterryn]

Just cause I hope to be a grandma in the not too distant future (fortunately son not in this forum) I reached out to In-flight shopping and also Qantas both of whom have stated these will be available, at some point, via other retail avenues
Thanks for the cute information

I've often thought about how much unused duty free allowance there must be each day and how long it will be before an app is created where you can request duty free items (read liquor and cigarettes) be brought through for you for a small fee.

No doubt it would create all kinds of legal questions and issues, but I'm wondering nonetheless.

I did go contact Qantas, as above , however no one is answering or able to help 're baby gro suits.
I was wondering if anyone had seen them around lately

Qantas have advised me that this product will soon (next few weeks) be available at Qantasstore.com.au
