Wish it were so. As it happens I had to call QF on another matter so gave it a try again about a week ago. This time the agent eventually seemed to understand, but told me I had to email my request in. Since I already did so I expect Anna's "No, I don't think 1,600 QFF points are worth the...

I have been amused by QF/JQ progress on this issue. In 2013 it took 1 day; In 2016 it took 4 days; now it takes 8 days for me.

Yes, same PNR. Yes, different status: I was bronze till my "last" sector; she was silver for the first two sectors, then gold.

Thanks for that email address. I did not find it on the QF web site, but I guess I looked in the wrong place. Yes, I will send an abbreviated version and won't lose any sleep over it. I thought the AFF community might be interested/amused at the out of order crediting issue, especially since...

Mrs bnebased and I flew on 3 pairs of AA sectors, each pair on the "same" day. Our activity statements are in different orders. (These lists seem be in in reverse chronological order.) Mine are: 21 JUL 17 AA 1596 BUSINESS 19JUL17 DENVER/LOS ANGELES 21 JUL 17 AA 7409 BUSINESS 19JUL17 LOS...

I am looking at booking a Y ticket 12Apr BNE-SFO 18Apr SFO-LAS 21 Apr LAS-LAX 24APR LAX-BNE for a friend who is QF Bronze Qantas Club member and UA nothing. Cheapest option seems to be NZ transpac plus UA domestic USA, apparently easily enough booked on NZ and UA web sites. Very little FF miles...

If you are interested in price ex BNE the best option is probably Eva (BR). Connections can be poor in TPE, but BR gave us STPC when we had a poor connection to JFK. Two days a week they have good connections both ways BNE-LHR. Seats BNE-TPE are fair; from 25 July they have Royal Laurel seats...

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree entirely with your sentiments about the offshore support and FC. I have plenty enough experiences with both. I have already tried what you suggested, but DJ won't let me talk to the check in people at the airport. (Damn, I was there yesterday, before I knew I...

My comment about QF/UA was not actually about the interlining, sorry. It was about the nondelivery of bags from QF to UA. On several occasions (years ago now) I turned up in US (LAX or SFO) but bag didn't. There was a rumour (perhaps malicious) that QF did it on purpose to discourage BNE fliers...

One booking made but not ticketed (currently via Flight Centre). Dealing with AR itself is impossible, and to my pleasant surprise Flight Centre seems to be able to handle it. However Flight Centre seems unable (as yet) to incorporate DJ flights into the PNR. The AR fare rules seem to allow it...

We plan on flying BNE-SYD on DJ connecting to AR SYD-EZE. We are having trouble getting the two bookings onto one PNR (perhaps impossible). Details are long-winded. Any ideas whether DJ will interline our bags? Their website says they do interline (in spite of their hopeless call centre denying...

Re: Guilty until Proven Innocent: The customer is always wrong when Jetstar cancel fl Clearly when I booked (in the June 2 for 1 sale) the flight was there. I observe that starting the day I am booked the JQ timetable has dropped WThSu flights for the visible future (ie, down to 4 flights per...

Re: Guilty until Proven Innocent: The customer is always wrong when Jetstar cancel fl All a bit of a scary story about JQ. Makes me think about my upcoming situation. I booked a cheapie JQ return BNE-DRW for May-Jun 2013. Long time ahead, but the price was right. By accident I looked at the...

After lurking for a long time on this forum here's my first post (tried and unanswered on flyertalk :( ). I only fly QF every now and then, last time was last week. It was clear to me that a lot of the checked in bags on our domestic SYD-BNE flight were over 140cm, and I don't for a moment...
