The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

[Ade]

Flying ICN-SYD on JQ in business class (not a business max fare) and wanted to know whether I'd be able to access the Oneworld lounge in ICN. I have platinum status with QF.

I'd assume no considering I'm not flying on a Oneworld airline but I note this paragraph from this article - https://www.executivetraveller.com/review/oneworld-seoul-icn-lounge

In addition, Qantas tells Executive Traveller that Qantas Club members “will be eligible for the Oneworld lounge if they are travelling on a Jetstar or Qantas operated flight.”

So not sure whether on top of QC members they will also allow gold and platinum members access.

Anyone?

I don't think you can, as per below.

I've booked with AC to YVR via Sydney departing Brisbane, AC booked me onto a Qantas flight for the domestic leg, will they check my luggage all the way through and will I be able to use their terminal transfer service?

Yes.
Yes. Keep the boarding pass/ baggage cardboard slip QF give you. Have seen QF staff ask for that at SYD T3 gate 15
If a paid flight BNE SYD will be able to credit to QF or oneworld ffp

If flying AC, I didn't think one could use the Qantas transfer bus.

Not a question, but an interesting point of reference.

I just cancelled a classic reward for a JAL flight on 13 December 2025. I note it immediately went back into the 'pool' as Seats.aero sent an alert pretty much straight away, showing its availability.

Anybody looking for a PE seat for that date, 2x available now.

Question if I may please re name on E-ticket and Vietnam evisa

My concern is with upcoming MEL(QF)-HKG-(VN)SGN-(CX) HKG-(QF)MEL revenue flight in July relating to issued tickets and Vietnam e-visa.

QF e tickets have First name, middle initial, surname.
Passport is First name, 2nd name, 3rd name, surname.
Never had an issue before, but also have never had to require a visa either.

I read Vietnam visa must match Passport, understandably.
Question : Does my QF eticket have to match my Passport and evisa?

Have bought VN internal flights with passport names, ie 1st 2nd 3rd, surname.

Appreciate any information

Tickets don’t have the same capacity to exactly match passports. Often there’s just not enough room to accommodate long names, multiple names or special characters like hyphens.

Passport is the most important thing, and the visa should match that.

The ticket can be something less than the passport. Often for example tickets won’t even include middle names at all.

Thank you @MEL_Traveller I was hoping that is the case.
Certainly with our internal VN flights it was easy to put all names, so our evisas will match.

Hello everyone, a newbie question re QBR. I have an upcoming trip that was booked by my TA. I would like to add my QBR number to the booking as it is for work. In the QF MMB, I'm not seeing any option to add QBR number. I remember, a few years back there used to be a section to enter QBR number, but it doesn't seem to exist any more. Has anyone experienced this?

I haven’t needed to add the ABN post booking for a while but if elegible, the option has been there.

I have a reward booking (not linked) and I don’t get the option to add the ABN, so the system is smart enough to know it’s not elegible. Is it possible the booking is already linked to a corporate account, so possibly not eligible?

Otherwise, you could try calling up.

If you are using the app, you need to switch to view desktop mode. Option their under passenger details. My booking me are made through a TA, makes no difference.

Thank you. Looks like I need to do this.

Thank you. I tried on my laptop and I couldn't see the field to enter ABN under pax details. It used to be there before. Guess I'm going to have to call and get this added. I have also asked my work TA to add my ABN at the time of booking from their systems going forward.

Separate ticket connection at CMB - arrive on SQ468 at 11:35pm, depart on UL501 at 03:25am. 3hr50 min transfer time. First time at CMB but played this game before.

Doable or stupidest thing ever at midnight, when all the desks are probably closed?

@SYD and @gaz0303 - Update to this. Made a booking yesterday via TA. TA showed me that he has added my FF number and ABN number to the booking from their end. FF number shows in the app, but the ABN number does not reflect in my QFF iPhone app. I tried opening the PNR in MMB on a desktop and went to EDIT passenger details, still not able to find the field to add ABN number. Guess I have to call QF

Another update to this - not sure if this a work around for the ABN not showing in the booking issue. I noticed that the contact number in the booking was my corporate TA's number. I changed this number to my personal mobile number and added my personal email to the booking. After saving this, I could see that the ABN (as added by the TA in their system at the time of booking this ticket) is showing. Please note that it is not possible to edit the ABN from QF MMB (in my case at least).

I suspect you could add it if they hadn’t included at time of booking.

I had a booking a few years ago made by a client. I could see the option to add the ABN. But it rejected it knowing it was linked to another corp account.

I suspect you could add it if they hadn’t included at time of booking.

I will test this out for my next trip and report. Will ask TA NOT to add ABN to the backend systems. I will then try and add it from QF MMB.

Still odd that it’s not showing however!

Flying ICN-SYD on JQ in business class (not a business max fare) and wanted to know whether I'd be able to access the Oneworld lounge in ICN. I have platinum status with QF.

In addition, Qantas tells Executive Traveller that Qantas Club members “will be eligible for the Oneworld lounge if they are travelling on a Jetstar or Qantas operated flight.”

So not sure whether on top of QC members they will also allow gold and platinum members access.

I was walking to one of the Priority Pass lounges and noticed the OneWorld lounge on the way so thought I'd stop by and try my luck. I confidentally handed over my Jetstar boarding pass and my phone showing my Qantas digital card from the app and was welcomed inside.

Pretty basic lounge overall but was pretty quite and peaceful.

Also worth noting that if you are not eligible for the lounge but have Dragonpass (available for free through Club Avolta) and are flying out on a Oneworld flight, you can buy into the ICN Oneworld lounge for $US28…
