| Qantas
Club Access Restricted |
Qantas
Club members and Gold frequent flyers will
be temporarily unable to bring guests into
Melbourne's Qantas Club lounge from next
month. Complimentary Qantas Club passes and
invitations, such as those offered to Silver
frequent flyers and some credit card
holders, will also not be accepted.
The restrictions will apply during the
"peak" periods of 5-9am and 3-7pm while the
Melbourne lounges are renovated. Renovations
will commence in mid-November, and are
expected to be completed in the second half
of 2018.

| Save
on Business Class to Europe |
| Business
class fares from Australia
to Europe can be expensive.
But there's a simple trick
that can be used to save a
small fortune on premium
cabin airfares! The trick is
to avoid the "Australia tax"
by buying tickets overseas.
Most airlines charge a
premium on tickets purchased
from Australia. But return
Business class tickets from
Asia to Europe cost just a
fraction of the price. By

| Domestic
Flight ID Checks Coming |
| It
has been reported that
compulsory ID checks will
soon be implemented for
Australian domestic flights.
This means that you would be
required to show photo
identification before
boarding a domestic flight.

under a false name. And when
checking in at an airport
counter, most airlines will
already ask passengers to
show ID. But passengers

Exclusive
Online Event:
Best International Frequent Flyer Programs |
Most
of us are members of the local Qantas and
Virgin Velocity Frequent Flyer programs. But
it's worth taking notice of ten overseas
programs that offer significantly better
"bang" for your frequent flyer "buck"!
By joining these programs, you could be
travelling further, more often and in
greater comfort - while spending less! For
example, did you know that there's a
Oneworld airline offering round-the-world
awards in Business class for 90,000 points
less than Qantas? What's more, you may be
surprised how easy it is to accumulate
points with international frequent flyer
programs from within Australia.
Frequent Flyer Solutions will explain how
you can take advantage of the enormous
opportunities offered by international
frequent flyer programs in its upcoming
webinar, "Best International Frequent Flyer
Programs". This online event will take place
at 8pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 24
October 2017.

| Qantas
vs Emirates in First Class |
| Qantas
and its partner Emirates
offer distinctly different
First class products. So, if
both are the same price - or
the same number of points -
which airline is the better
choice? My partner and
I are looking at booking
an award flight from MEL
to SIN next year and have
enough points to fly FIRST
– we're just not sure if
we should fly Qantas or
Emirates. We more...
