Qantas: new rules for sharing lounge passes
Jun 29, 2026, 08:36 PMJust to clarify,"Also, as previously reported, Qantas Platinum and Gold frequent flyers, along with Qantas Club members, will no longer have any Qantas lounge access before a Jetstar flight."This sentence sounds like any Jetstar flight is excluded from accessing Qantas lounge, incl...

Qantas now offers confirmed upgrades, at a price...
Jun 14, 2026, 01:27 PMInteresting observation. I flew QF business a few times, mainly through points upgrade, and I really do NOT think their soft products, nor hard products, are any better than MH or other Asian carriers. Qantas business class is really not worth paying with hard cash, ever. The price is significant...

Qantas cuts lounge access for Jetstar passengers
Mar 18, 2026, 06:05 PMI wonder how many FF Plats and Golds are affected in practice. I mostly fly Qantas domestics and avoid budget airlines on internationals. Used to fly Jetstar for hops across South East Asia, but with the demise of 3K, barely any chance of me flying Jetstar anymore.On a different note, there is no...

Dec 11, 2025, 06:04 AMLooks great! When Qantas gets it right, they do get it right. Hope the service matches the (seemingly) delightful hard product.

Overnight Layover in LHR
Jan 15, 2025, 10:19 PMThere is a good likelihood that your luggage may only be checked through to LHR - at least based on my experiences with other Oneworld airlines.I had experience once with Qantas whereby they wouldn't even check me in for my next day connecting flight, even though I did not have any check in lugga...

Checking through baggage
Nov 28, 2024, 08:17 PMWhen travelling using rewards ticket(s), Qantas seems to allow check through, as specified below (read the footnotes).https://www.qantas.com/agencyconnect/au/en/policies/book/baggage/interline-and-through-checked-baggage.html#when-can-my-customers-bags-be-through-checkedI have never tried this th...

Emirates to discontinue Melbourne to Singapore
Sep 11, 2024, 06:46 PMOriginally Posted by WelcomeAboard I think the whole point is there too much capacity in the market, which is why Emirates wish to drop the route. It doesn't make sense for Qantas to sub in an A380. Across all carriers (excluding Emirates) there are 68 departures per week. Whilst SQ and TK are ta...

LHR lounges
Aug 26, 2024, 09:20 PMDon't know how the security works at Heathrow but the last time I was there, I couldn't find any easy way to hop between terminals. So might be a bit of a trouble just to visit lounge, but do provide a trip report - I would be curious to know!I did spend quite some time at a BA First lounge at T5...

So-called "Classic Plus" is total disgrace!
Aug 02, 2024, 09:37 AMOriginally Posted by Serg Originally Posted by sydney slug So if we all want to punish Qantas for this cynical attempt to get us to burn our impossible to use points, we need to only book non QF metal with FF points. That is a revenue loss for QF compared to carrying that passenger as they have t...
