  • Last chance for Qantas Double Status Credits

    Feb 21, 2024, 12:09 PM

    Hi Johnsy, short version is yes you get one guest to bring into the F lounge with you. So your wife will be able to join you assuming you attain Platinum Status before you are due to fly on QF11.

  • Review: Virgin Australia Lounge, Sydney Airport

    Jan 25, 2024, 11:03 AM

    Totally agree regarding both VA and QF leaving their domestic lounges off any upgrade 'roadmaps'. Either each airline know something about the future of the domestic terminals we don't, or there is no impetus to improve the spaces as both airlines know PAX will fly out regardless. So we need shou...

    Was that you watching LOTR on the seatback IFE during the Matilda's penalty shoot-out win over France? ;)

  • American Express to charge for Centurion Lounge guests

    Jan 13, 2023, 05:25 PM

    I must admit that I am not entirely happy with the more recent approach in One World to lounge access. With QR in particular complying with the rules but not, in my opinion, the spirit of lounge access by separating Elite FF's from those flying F + J. However I think that we generally have it fai...

  • American Express to charge for Centurion Lounge guests

    Jan 13, 2023, 04:29 PM

    I must say that I'm not entirely happy at the eroding of the 'spirit' of the lounge access with One World, especially the disappointing precedent set by QR with seperate lounges for OW elites and those flying in F + J. However I think that generally we actually have it fairly good within Australi...

  • Check Luggage through 3 flights

    Apr 18, 2024, 10:48 AM

    Qantas has an interline agreement with EK so you should be able to check you bags through to Milan even though it is a separate PNR. If you'd like more detail, look up 'Qantas Interline and through check baggage' P.s Normally I'd provide a link to the page in question, but I've had posts get los...

  • Qantas Green Tier SC allocation

    Apr 09, 2024, 11:25 AM

    I too am curious about this. I did 'complete' my 5 green tier categories prior to the end of my status year, and then allocated the SC's in my next year to give me a 50 head start, so no issue there. My understanding is that the green tier T's and C's are written in a such as a way as to suggest ...

  • Cathay Rejected Points claims

    Oct 26, 2023, 03:10 PM

    What benefit do airlines get for being reticent on this? Do they need to pay each other for the crediting of points and status credits? Having to chase perfectly legitimate claims to only be rejected isn't really in line with all the oneworld marketing.

  • QF Platinum moving to Malaysia - any experience with Enrich or others?

    Sep 27, 2023, 11:48 AM

    Apart from earn rate, another factor for you to consider any minimum sectors which need to be flown on a particular airline to acquire/retain status. This would be easiest with BA by flying to Sydney via Singapore, or with Qantas via Jetstar Asia. BA has the added bonus of lifetime OWE to aim whi...

  • Eligible flight gap

    Sep 14, 2023, 09:28 AM

    The simple answer is: No.Your only solution is to take the shortest or cheapest flight(s) with VA or VA codeshare that you can find till you reach the 8 eligible sectors.From the VA website ' An Eligible Sector is any flight that begins with a VA flight number excluding Reward Seats, Economy L...
