• The problem is that QF just doesn't have enough B787s right now. SYD-HNL requires only one airframe; BNE-LAX as a daily service requires two.

  • BNE-LAX used to be a B787, but swapped to the A330 post-Covid. It was always supposed to be temporary, but Qantas just doesn't have enough B787s to do all the routes they want to run it on. BNEW-LAX daily requires two airframes, SYD-HNL only one. Hopefully this will be rectified when the remainin...

  • Allow international points upgrades at the time of booking!

  • No, you're completely wrong. A fifth freedom flight allows passengers to embark from, or disembark at, an airport in an intermediate country which is neither the country of the flight's origin nor destination.  Don't believe the crap that the internet feeds you.  The article even quotes...

  • You're only separated from the rest of the passengers at meal times (if you so choose). All of the other comments in the review apply to all passengers.

  • You can use your passes at the Qantas domestic lounge at PER. It's in the same building as the QF international flights. You'd just have to time your exit from the lounge to give you sufficient time to get through immigration and security.

    When is your flight? I'm hoping that at least one of the Plaza Premium Arrivals lounges will be open by December, when I'm due to travel.
