Thanks, everyone, for your helpful insights.Cheers.

Thanks, patrickk. I was thinking of whether I could use these points plus my own 330,000 points to help me to get two business class multi-city award flights from MEL- HND-LHR-MUC-DOH-KUL-MEL (total of 2 x 318K points). Is this a better proposition?Thanks.

I received an email offer from QFF today. If I buy 150,000 QFF points they give me 50% bonus for free i.e. 75,000 free points. Total cost is AUD$3999 for a total of 225,000 points. Is this a deal or am I paying too much?Thanks.

In the last few years of my working life, I was able to amass nearly one million miles of QFF points mainly through credit card sign-up bonuses. Year after year, I had no difficulty turning these cards over and getting new ones - together with the QFF points. However, since I retired 18 months ag...

Hi there. I am trying to enter a large number (7 or 8) of segments on a QFF multi-city search but I get this error message:Qantas website error #7130What the Qantas website says: “The fare type is missing in the request”Why this error appears: Your search contains 7 or more flight segments.What t...

I finally received a refund of QFF for my first class seats (on Emirates metal) after ONLY two hours waiting for the call centre's operator to get to me on his/her queue. The overseas operator had to call Qantas reservations as well as Qantas Frequent Flyer department to sort it out while I waite...

Qantas would have the worst wait times of any company or government call centre in Australia. Mr Joyce should be ashamed of this shocking 'service'. Over two hours is a disgrace. I got through to Virgin Australia in five minutes!

Well, VA must have changed things because three years ago we went from VA domestic at Gate 46 on the Virgin bus to the international terminal using the public roads with dreadful traffic. I will be taking this trip to HKG in February so I'll let you all know which way I went.

Mickhenny, we usually go in early December for 5-6 weeks.

Some responded by saying that the Virgin bus from Gate 46 goes out onto the roads in all the traffic while others said that it goes across the tarmac. I am confused!

My wife and I fly to London every year in business on Vietnam Airlines for as little as $4000 return. However, there are long layovers, especially on the way back. In these cases, Vietnam Airlines pay for a visa, provide a free hotel room and limo (basic car) transport as well as free meals in t...

My wife and I were originally booked on VA MEL-HKG but that service was cancelled and we're being re-routed through Sydney. What a pain! Three years ago on a trip from MEL-LAX we were ferrried by Virgin's bus which went out into the Sydney traffic. It was horrific and took ages, putting stress o...

I have a free limousine service from my home to Tullamarine for my upcoming flight on Emirates from Melbourne to Singapore. This flight was booked on the Qantas website using my QFF points. Does someone know the name of the limo company in Melbourne that provides this service as I want to call t...

From the airport take the bus (in T4) to Broadmeadows and transfer to the train. I already have a Myki so it's very cheap. Do it in reverse when you're departing Melbourne. No stress about missing your flight because of traffic hold-ups on the Tullamarine or Ring Road freeways. And far cheaper th...

Yes, totally agree. I have been redirected to Zuji, Helloworld, byojet.com.au over the years. All satisfactory and cheaper than many other sites.
