Using Qantas points to book QF codeshare Emirates business class

Apr 26, 2019, 09:07 PM

I have been travelling to Manchester for around 10 years. Best way is to go via Singers or Honkers if using Classic Rewards. Gives you more choice for airline. On the way home the EK options are more accessible.
Qantas' miserly approach to upgrades

Sep 19, 2018, 09:37 PM

I’m Platinum QFF and again have only ever received upgrades on Emirates. Last 2 flights haven’t even had the “Welcome Back” on the door nor any recognition during the flight. Soon as I hit LTG I’m off in search of a new love !
