• This might seem rude, but in 2024 with the plethora of ways to earn and use points, if you let your points expire you deserve to lose them. 

  • From my experience, there is always a Classic Plus Reward seat available for the flights I've booked (mainly Asian flights) but the cost in points is just so insanely high that it isn't worth it, in any class. While I haven't noticed a drop off in Classic reward availability, it been trash for a ...

  • Good question! I suppose if you're seated next to each other in the same class, then yes I presume so. I imagine age (minors) will come into it as well. But if it were solely based on your status (and your family doesn't have status) it would be interesting to see what happens in practice. T...

  • Now I know this a business traveller website dedicated to members who generally have status but I can't help think of those people on Bronze level who travel, though not enough to earn status easily. The occasional frequent flyer who flies a few times a year and who often pay a bit more than nece...

  • I completely that Qantas probably don't care what Perthites think but if it generates positive PR and positive buzz they'll go through the motions of acting like they do.

  • I reckon it will be Perth. Melbourne can be (and is) adequately served (for the moment) via the 4x weekly Jetstar to Narita + excellent connections over Sydney to Narita and soon over Brisbane to Haneda. And then there are the numerous other one stop options of Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines,...

  • Almost had a heart attack from laughing at this thread from the ever dependable Robert. Thanks for making my week! 

  • As there is publicly available information on loads it is impossible to speculate. Even then, load factors give no indication whatsoever of yields. General information from various news sources indicate that Qantas is by no means alone in having weaker than normal loads for this time of year, so ...
