  • Review: Qantas Club lounge, Gold Coast Airport

    Sep 14, 2022, 03:57 PM

    Being my "local port", I try to fly out of OOL rather than BNE where I can (not always an option depending on destination). I much prefer the VA lounge, as Chris has noted, it is a much more inviting space with far better customer service. I find it really annoying that they only open the QF loun...

  • Alan Joyce apologises for Qantas delays, cancellations, lost bags

    Yes, I've had the same issue trying to log in today - constantly getting error messages. Requests I enter code from the Authenticator App but doesn't recognise it & times out! Tried requesting a different method i.e. SMS, but then it requests code from the Authenticator App again! Can't even ...

  • Review: Virgin Australia Gold Coast Airport Lounge

    Jul 04, 2022, 10:13 AM

    Being a Gold Coaster, I try to use this as my base airport where possible. VA lounge is far better than the QF, which is still really a regional lounge made over from the JQ days. VA lounge facilities, staff, F&B are well above QF offerings in every way. And yes, the QF lounge access is alway...

  • How to search for Classic Rewards tickets?

    Jul 18, 2023, 10:36 AM

    It's extremely frustrating. I finally got my RTW trip booked after months of searching and getting those errors. That the system just boots you out sucks & doesn't give any indication of where the error is. After each time, I would clear my cache & cookies, then start again. Trying differ...

  • What are people's observations of loads on flights?

    Jun 28, 2023, 03:13 PM

    My recent flights from Gold Coast & Brisbane & return for Sydney & Adelaide were full, each way. Tried out QF, VA & JQ - all the same result. Watching early morning arrivals into OOL also saw full flights. Chaos onboard with people trying to cram bags into the overhead bins, espec...

    I've had the same thing on QF out of Auckland. Seems to be inconsistent as mentioned, some times yes - sometimes no :)

  • Classic Reward Variable Search Results

    Feb 13, 2023, 09:55 AM

    As an update, I rang QFF number & surprisingly got straight through; person on other end said they probably can't do anything either i.e. can only select up to 6 flights (could not give a reason/any justifiable answers), then shortly after said he could do the 8 flights I wanted. Started to p...
