Apr 04, 2021, 12:32 PMDoes anyone know if CDIJ (used to be FIP class) for first-class Alaska Airline fares is still classified as FIrst class earn rates by Qantas?

Qantas non-stop Brisbane Chicago flights under American Airlines JV
Jun 08, 2019, 04:21 AMI had that same story too from a QF flight attendant when we talked about the new Chicago route. They mentioned the timing the launch was meant to be soon after September 2001. The sharp decline in air travel demand forced the plans to be shelved.

Qantas Domestic Carry On: Baggage Allowance [Updated 2019]
Dec 01, 2018, 01:48 AM@Concorde1990, the baggage allowance for QF Gold and Platinum FF has been 2 x 32 kg for a few years now. It's not a recent development.I was personally hoping that Qantas would give 3 x 32 kg bags for Platinum (just like AA does for OW Emerald and their AA Executive Platinum)

I think it's unusual to me that Qantas would be m...

Booked QF1 flex economy, will Qantas prioritise PE upgrade request over J up...
May 14, 2019, 02:51 AMI have called Qantas customer service and asked them to prioritise PE over Business before - that was about four years ago. I would imagine the customer service staff could set up a custom prioritisation for you on request over the phone.
