    QF Points taken and fast response from Qantas

    I had a similar thing happen to my Velocity account. As it turns out, the phone agent I spoke to that day accidentally took points out of my account for a booking she made for the subsequent caller. Hackers are not always the reason.

    Who Should Bear the Cost of Cancelling Brunei Flights?

    I don't understand either how they can expect anyone to last 24 hours without having sex in front of four people.

    Unable to book with Jetstar?! [web error]

    I tried to change the date on a flight this week but the website wouldn't accept my credit card. I got on to Jetstar chat half expecting to be charged more but to my surprise I was charged $40 less than the website quoted me. I'm not sure how they calculated it but my ticket looks ok. I think...

    Do classic flight rewards hold any value now?

    Not all routes are the same. Say you needed to fly from Bundaberg to Broome. I can't imagine a time when points plus pay will ever beat classic rewards.

    using qantas business lounge a night before flight?

    The rules suggest that if you are arriving on an international QF J flight and connecting the next morning then you will have access to the lounge. For practical purposes, they will start to pack up the food well before the last domestic flight leaves at around 9pm. There should be a hot food...

    QF Hobart call centre forthcoming redundancies

    Too bad the redundancies are voluntary. Higher odds of good staff leaving and the lazy unknowledgeable ones hanging around.

    Jestar seat selection with family of 5

    The system will seat everyone in the same booking together. If on a 787, I'd say you'll get seated 3x2, most likely across the aisle from each other. Up to your family who sits where among those 5 seats. Jetstar won't randomly scatter all 5 of you across the cabin.

    Why no Direct Flights for Qantas?

    Same thing happened with MH flights recently. Qantas website won't show nonstop MH flights but would show up if bundled together with a connecting Qantas flight. The "glitch" lasted for several months until one day they fixed it.

    Malindo Air starting Adelaide-Bali flights

    Adelaide already bookable if you didn't already know. Still very good prices for Easter holidays.

    Malindo Air starting Adelaide-Bali flights

    Anybody else find it interesting that Malindo runs 4 flights on the DPS-KUL route all within a 90 minute window?

    Qantas Frequent Flyer Reward availabilty

    If it is indeed true, I don't mind how availability is distributed unevenly between FFPs. Otherwise the only way for anyone to get seats is to book 11 months ahead which doesn't suit everyone. Every policy has winners and losers. I am sure that the AA member who ends up booking those seats will...

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    Doesn't seem to have stopped people doing same plane 1 hour turnarounds in Noumea. It couldn't be booked online so people were saying they booked it through a travel agent. Post #5093 in this thread for example.

    Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options

    You saw it here first but topping the list of current cheapest runs at $2.46/SC is AKL-DRW return via an east coast city for ~$1575 and 640 SCs.
