Apr 07, 2019, 03:52 PMIt was great for ATO payments but that is finishing. I also use it for overseas spending so it's been okay, time for a change though.

Emirates axes chauffeur drive for tickets booked with Qantas Points
Feb 06, 2019, 04:02 PMI am disillusioned! The airlines are all in a cost cutting mode, all it is doing is pushing loyal frequent flyers onto other airlines. Points will eventually have little value imho. I have seen deterioration of frequent flyer programs over the years, from the days when you even got status credit...

Anyone had experience of London Gatwick 1st lounge QF on EK
Aug 13, 2016, 05:22 PMThere's only the one business lounge at LGW, it's like most of the Emirates lounges which offer a good selection of food and drinks. There is no dedicated first lounge.

Novotel Darling Harbor Sydney
Aug 05, 2016, 12:08 PMThere are two Novotel hotels at Darling Harbour, I have stayed at the Novotel Sydney on Darling Harbour and it was fine in the days of the monorail where you could get about fairly easily. There is a light rail nearby now. I think this hotel would suit some, but not others. It's close to Th...

Has anyone booked via KAYAK before - any issues - cheers
Jul 29, 2016, 07:20 AMI have never booked through Kayak, but interestingly I could have booked Qantas J tickets SYD-LHR return for 2 people with the standard 2 hour or so at DXB for around $5000 less than the Qantas site, but looking further the site said it doesn't guarantee point awards when entering FF de...

Any tips on securing 3xQF Award J seats to LON in Sep-17
Jul 27, 2016, 01:23 PMI often book in separate bookings, as in SYD-DXB return and DXB-LHR or LGW return, and nearly always find something to suit. Sure it costs a few more points and I book an overnight stay at least in DXB to ensure I don't miss my connection in case of delays. It's far easier than SYD-LHR return whi...

Apr 17, 2016, 07:28 PMHi Henrus, On Emirates flight SYD-DXB-LHR and returning on QF2 through DXB.

My passport expiry date is mid August 2017.
Apr 17, 2016, 06:05 PMThanks Brian, it was confusing because one site said 6 months from date of entry, then Smart Traveller said 6 months from date of departure when heading home. Best to be sure and renew I think, even though we are only talking a week or so short of 6 months.

Any advice?
Apr 10, 2016, 06:02 PMI've had the same problem SYD- LHR and ended up doing 2 separate bookings and had no problem. First flight SYD-DXB then DXB-LHR. Just make sure you leave yourself plenty of time between bookings though in case of delay. I usually stay in DXB overnight and book on a flight the ...

Mar 05, 2016, 05:25 PMTravelodge, they pickup and drop back to the airport, I think it cost me about $60 or similar last year. Well worth it and there is a Dennys on site too.
