Qantas have today announced some pretty significant changes to their frequent flyer program at a press event in Sydney. The carrier has announced quite a number of improvements to the program as well as some not so great improvements but we’ll get into that in the post. So what was announced? More reward seat availability […]
This week is going to be a busy one for me, I’ve got quite a bit of travel planned for various reasons and this week majority of my travel will be onboard Qantas aircraft. I also thought, I’ve missed a huge opportunity to review Australian carriers Economy and Premium Economy products here on BoardingArea so […]
Often a couple of times a year we see Qantas run a promotion offering double status credits on bookings. It’s a great incentive for people wanting to chase a higher status or even just travellers who have status already that want to make it to that next level a little faster. I’ve written about these […]
My apologies on the lateness of this post as it’s a few days old but still worth posting about nonetheless. Qantas have unveiled their brand new interiors on their Dash-8 fleet with the first one commencing services only a few days ago. The airline will be upgrading not only their -400’s but the smaller -300 […]
Bali is without a doubt one of the most popular tourist destinations for Australians. In fact, according to Traveller, Bali is actually the most popular with million’s of Australian tourists visiting the Indonesian Island yearly. As you can see, those numbers are significant so it’s no surprise to see an airline increase their services and […]
Today is quite a significant day for Qantas as they launch their first international 787 route, name their second 787 aircraft and on top of that, they’ve just announced a new International route with the Dreamliner. QF95 will depart from Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport at 2:25 this afternoon and arrive into Los Angeles at 9:45am local […]
Earning points while dining is pretty easy in Australia. Both of our major airlines (Qantas & Virgin Australia) offer dining portals and they’re very useful. I use the Qantas dining portal as much as I can as it offers one of the best deals going around. When you’d book a restaurant, you’ll get 100 per […]
Yes, it was only the other day that I posted about Qantas offering 30% off all economy award tickets to New Zealand, well the carrier is now offering an even better deal and luckily this one offers a lot more destinations and even has a greater discount which is fantastic to see. Qantas are currently offering […]
In February of 2016, Qantas announced that they would be opening up a brand new flagship lounge in London’s Heathrow airport. The airline started construction of the brand new facility in September of 2016 and the carrier had planned to open it early this year, however, like with most lounges – there were quite a […]
This year there’s been a few times where we’ve seen Qantas not being able to book award seats online. Most of the occurrences have ironically been American Airlines. Now, we know the two carrier aren’t the bestest of friends and there’s a few reasons for that. Their JV agreement was denied, both carriers dramatically cut […]
Qantas are again offering a generous promotion which allows flyers to receive 30% off all Economy award tickets on both Qantas and Jetstar. This is the second promotion like this the carrier has done this year, earlier in the year, the airline offered only 25% off so if you didn’t take advantage of that then, […]
Earning frequent flyer points has gotten incredibly easier over the past few years. From buying points, using portals when shopping, using the right credit cards all the way to using transport – they all add up. Uber is without a doubt the biggest name when it comes to ride sharing. It’s reliable, safe, and you’re […]
