    Making a calendar note now! If you don't ask, you can't get...

  • Qantas now offers early check-in at LAX

    Mar 17, 2023, 05:14 PM

    Wouldn't it be fantastic if they had this (reintroduced this?) option at Heathrow? It has been such a bunfight my last few flights, with queues snaking back into the thoroughfare causing havoc. If there was early check-in, it would smooth out chaos a little. I seem to remember that pre covid you ...

  • What was your best upgrade?

    Jan 07, 2022, 05:18 PM

    My one woman protest against Mr Trump was to not visit the US while he was in power, and Covid-19 has kept me in check since, so my upgrade story must be from 2015 or 2016.The trip was Syd -> LAX -> JFK. I am not sure if I was QFF Gold or had just clawed my way to Platinum for the first tim...

  • Qantas will close its Singapore first class lounge from April 20

    Mar 10, 2020, 02:55 PM

    Assuming there are no travel restrictions imposed in the meantime, my return trip to Paris will just sneak through before the closure of the First lounge. First world relief ;-)

  • Qantas Double Status Credits offers for 2020, booking tips

    Feb 26, 2020, 02:30 PM

    Huh, I didn't know the offer was extended. When did they do that? As per my earlier message here, I thought I had missed the boat.Especially as I even saw the countdown clock on the landing page ticking down each time I had to start again. to the point it was maxed out to just hyphens rather than...

  • Contemplating a WISE card for travel. Opinions?

    Apr 28, 2024, 12:30 AM

    Thanks all for your feedback.Like sunnybrae I always have a backup card or two. Not (yet) for bank meltdowns but because I have had problems with the Qantas Money card when trying to book/buy things online while overseas. The authentification thingy that sends codes, fails me pretty much every ti...

  • Contemplating a WISE card for travel. Opinions?

    Apr 26, 2024, 10:47 AM

    Looking at the conversion rates offered for my Qantas Money card, and the market rates, I am wondering if I should look elsewhere. The FF points become less of an issue, the harder it is to redeem them.I have been looking at the WISE card, and wondered if anyone had any feedback to offer. Better ...

  • Compliments of Cuctomer Contact - bonus QFF points

    Dec 17, 2023, 03:32 PM

    Hi,I was checking my status credits and FF points after a recent trip to Japan, and discovered 10.000 bonus QFF points had landed in my account.On reading the reason (see thread title) I assumed that perhaps the Customer Service officer, with whom I had had a nice chat, had gifted them to me at h...

  • Qantas 'Thank you' FFpoints or Status Credits

    Aug 26, 2023, 12:01 PM

    Well, I got the email, and after checking the fine print to make sure the status credits accrue to the lifetime total, that is the option I am going for, as I will easily make my SC total by my anniversary date.The fact that I am closing in on 900,000 FF points and upgrades seemingly are non exis...

  • Flight Apps and tools - suggestions needed please

    Aug 17, 2023, 02:47 PM

    Thanks to you all for responding.I have been tapping into FlightAware and found it very helpful to track the daily (and historic) delays for QF11 flights between Sydney and LAX, and have hopefully built in enough of a buffer so as NOT to miss my ongoing Amtrak booking from Union Square LA! And, o...
