We are currently going through exactly the same thing! We booked a flight for June 28th 2023 and was told it was confirmed. We then booked. Injecting flights and started our itinerary. We checked last week to confirm everything was in order only to find out first flight Sydney-Dubai had been removed from the website!
We've mage close to 50-60 calls to Qantas and as per usual, we're hung up on regularly and no call backs after being promised. We always pray we get the Aussie workers but only seem to get Fiji, Phillipines and South Africa.
Something needs to be done about this! It puts so much stress on people! What the hell do you have a rewards system in plz e when all this is, is a massive Ponzi Scheme??!!
