• Been wondering when this was going to happen. Guess I got my answer.

  • Am disappointed that this offer excludes those with status end dates between Jan and Feb 2022. So had my membership year ended 30 days earlier, I would have been eligible for a free 1 year extension and 40% SC rollover till Dec 2022, but now I have to get 600 SC in 2021 to retain status through t...

  • Yes but how long before the "so little deaths from corona" turn into "big deaths from corona"? 3 months ago, the US had a few hundred deaths, now they have 130,000 dead, and that's with lockdowns in place. Are we really having to explain the infectiousness of this virus?"Just lock down the unheal...

  • One has to hope that with all the social distancing requirements and the limited capacity in lounges that Qantas might favour its own FFs over other partner airlines, especially if people like QR are dishing out status matches like candy at a doctor's office.Though give the current state of thing...

  • Let's hope the Roo can get through this! See you onboard, sometime.

  • Yup. "Flights can be booked via the Qantas website, a travel agent or Qantas Contact Centres. Fees and charges may apply." p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'}

  • Should be ok. The T&Cs says "Full or part travel of an itinerary is eligible only if you book (regardless of payment date) and travel within the promotional dates. If you cancel your initial qualifying booking or change it to be outside of the eligible travel period, this bonus offer will not...

  • Booked HBA-SYD-AKL-SYD-HBA for $1300 via AMEX in J for Queen's Birthday, not bad for 480 SC! Though the positioning flights SYD-MEL-HBA-SYD was around $300... 60SC in Y at least.

  • Noooo! Whilst I agree that it was probably a loss making route given that I'm on QF107/108 a few times a year at least and J is almost never more than 2/3 full, it's still a loss nevertheless.A 12 hour flight in a fully flat A330 at often ~$2.5k return sale fares in J was a steal. Now it's either...

  • Can't be smaller than the airside Plaza Premium lounge at KLIA2. The SYD lounge pantry is larger than that. Good to see there will be more choice now depending on which end of T1 you're flying out of.

  • Both back up now. Seems to just be their calculation service that was down. No changes to SC/points earn for now it seems.

  • Looks like the QF booking page no longer displays points/SC earn, and the earning calculator is down too. Here's to hoping the earning table doesn't get quietly 'enhanced' at 12.30pm while everyone is out to lunch..

  • Only outside of peak toasting periods. But according to a person familiar with today's announcements, the much anticipated Classic Toaster Upgrade Awards *will* be introduced. Upgrade your toaster from as little as 10,000pts or 20,000pts if the toaster was a Classic Toaster Award.

  • As people on the AFF forum have pointed out, it does seem like it will be dynamic pricing given that the QF “Where can I go” calculator now specify different costs in points for different dates.e.g. SYD/PEK25/11: 35,000pts + $147.2226/11: 45,000pts + $247.2827/11: 31,500pts + $147.2...

  • Time to plan the next 4-5 RTWs in Business... and spend it in time for the devaluation...? “Oh and by the way, we’ve enhanced lifetime gold requirements to now be 50000 SCs”
