• They've already granted substantial status retention bonuses, what more can customers reasonably expect?

  • Passports and no where to go!

    If you grew up in an immigrant family, as I did, you know that you always, always, always have a current passport with 6 months validity, because who knows what the future holds or what potential emergencies may arise, even in spite of pandemic travel restrictions?Granted, mine doesn't expire unt...

  • I'm considering a trip to Norfolk Island once they've reopened, which I assume will come earlier than international travel to countries outside our potential Trans-Tasman or Asian bubbles. Perfect opportunity to start ticking boxes on my Australian external territories list instead.Everything I'v...

  • Originally Posted by Sibelius All true... however, there was a quiet change to Local Champion last year which makes it more attractive. It used to be that you could earn a maximum of 10,000 points via Local Champion. That's now changed to 10,000 points per year. Swings and roundabouts. I wonder ...

  • > permanent access to first class lounge would be a massive incentiveIt's 2 passes per year, which really is not very much.

  • I booked a flight in December, flown in January, for which I immediately put in an upgrade request upon ticketing. It did not clear until 2359 the night before.

  • Qantas point error in your favour

    Jan 04, 2019, 04:47 PM

    I've had a couple of occasions where I've had to lodge complaints with QF about missing points due to either missed connections (requiring Original Routing Credit) or other more interesting stuffups, and I have received more than I was owed when the transaction appeared on the QFF statement as if...

  • FF Points Fear

    Oct 30, 2017, 04:39 PM

    After I got over 280,000 QF points (that being the amount for round-the-world in J) I stopped worrying.As it turns out, the real barrier is having an opportunity to spend them - I'm up to over 450,000 QF points now, and will have 550,000 soon after my latest credit card bonus lands.
