I thought about it after your earlier response and felt a bit silly - it was obvious when I thought about it. Am clearly out of practice. Thanks again.

Thanks for responding. I made it with QFF points and later contacted AA for their record locator but I have an AAdvantage account and thought it should show on that. Must be wrong... definitely have the QF itinerary. As I mentioned, I'm currently not a FF due to the pandemic. This will be my...

This article has been very informative for me (not a true FF at the moment but have a lot of points to use). My biggest frustration is being unable to use a flight credit - uselessly renamed 'Qantas Pass'. On the points booking thread - Wondering if someone could help/clarify something for...

There seems to be no acknowledgment from Qantas that this problem started well before COVID. Back in 2018/2019 the wait time on hold was up to an hour. I used to circumvent the issue of trying to change my CEO's tickets (she was a Gold FF) by using the Chair's FF number (she was a member of...

Cancelled a flight back in April (only to Sydney and on points) and finally received the tax refund last week. Only took 8 months!!

Agree with everyone who said to fix the call centres. I work in a job that involves (far too often) needing to change my boss's flight with very little notice. Impossible to do when the minimum wait for a CS rep is usually around an hour. Even when it's not urgent, having to wait a minimum of...

I'm not a frequent flyer (ie, not every week) but have flown a lot. Is it show-offie to say I've never had a significant delay? Longest was 4 hours in AUK last year heading to SFO - no biggie, arrived around 3pm the next day to a deserted airport and had my bag in hand and at the hotel in...

Flying to Paris 5 years ago was on a 3.10am EK flight from MEL in Y (very cheap Y booked through the QF website). I went up to the EK lounge and asked if I could use my QF membership to enter. Turned away because I was flying Y but the really nice gentleman there gave me a middle row to myself...

All for them being thrown off. Given the "fingers in ears" attitude, they would probably be the types that want to get their baggage from the overhead locker during and emergency evacuation ...

Was on an ANZ flight last year AUK-SFO sitting in PE and had my BOSE noise cancelling headset with me. I was packing up at the end of the flight and realised someone had stolen the case from my seat back pocket. Unluckily for the thief, the headset was tucked behind me while I slept. Never...

That's not a business call, it's a BS call by someone wanting others to believe they are in the know on something that is completely stupid. Another type that needs to be banned...

Anyone have a suggestion on how to get through in an emergency, ie needing to change a flight the day of travel with only an hour to spare. I make travel bookings for 20+ work colleagues, none of whom have high status. It drives me nuts that I can't get through to someone when it's urgent...

Great post Scott K, including the thongs. I've done F & J and won't lie, I loved it!! I'm short so leg space isn't an issue, I just like a bit more "me" space. Flew PE for the first time with AirNZ this year and that is really the happy medium. Within reach economically and being just on 5'...

Spent 10 days in Paris this year and wasn't approached once. Perhaps because I travel in the winter months? Have never been approached with a scam. And I'm in my early 60s and travel on my own.

WOW, I'm going to travel with you from now on!! I recall recently waiting 40mins and moving carousels 3 times before my bag finally appeared.
