The passes have gone. Winner chosen purely on timing without regard to the worthiness of their purpose!

Our company has been a bit dormant with International travel since Covid but it has just picked up again this year. We are short of renewing Level 2 Business Rewards by 990 points. It will be sad to drop a level. Because the points earn is so much lower (20% compared to 30%) it may be that we...

It may surprise some here that the minutia of upgrade ranking is pretty low on the list of operational priorities for the airline - despite their apparently critical importance to those in the lottery. Try not to read too much into it.

From a commercial standpoint FC have nothing to lose by trying it on. It is well established they have a terrible record for maximising their commission for changes. I cancelled a $12,000 package of flights some time ago. And I expected them to charge their fees. But they tried to apply...

I agree this is fairly sad as April Fools day jokes go. They can be funny and entertaining. They all involve deceit in a way but they don't have to involve disappointment. Examples of good April Fools Day jokes include the Spaghetti Tree Hoax. The fact that it comes from 1957 makes plain how...

OT -I often think of that ad which came out when I was a kid. The idea that a 'bank' having an office in HK showed just how many offices they had around the world didn't seem absurd to me then.

I have a Question about 787 longhaul Business meal service. I flew QF50 SFO to MEL recently. It was my first QF 787 flight. For dinner service the menu was quite extensive of main plates and it showed a salad and dessert and Petit Fors. I get the main plate and bread. But no salad. Niel...

Quite some caution is necessary as there is not specific rule about what 1st class is - so what you get may not be what is expected. Certainly in China and US what we consider in Australia to business class (or less) is sold as first class. Two class aircraft in Australia are almost always...

At first the $70 may seem trivial - but as I understand it from the discussions I had when this was a manual telephone process from QF is they they often ask the premium flyers on inflexible tickets first - in effect giving those who want to change flights but are stuck with an unchangeable...

For less than trivial award bookings I think the phone booking fee of $50 per person is well worth it - and if it can be booked online they will tell you how and save you the $50. If you get the right operator they can find the flights and know the tricks. It is good to do the research first...

When there has been no attempt at a PB line (ie no signs) and I have for some reason wanted to get on board I have approached from the side and been called forward by the staff scanning BP's and processed. Sorry - I thought it was the convention when there were no signs up.

I think the thread is taking a tangent from reality. If the airline contacts you well before the flight - like the night before the flight then there has been a change. It is not because they oversold which they always do. Why would they sell that ticket that prompts the need to pay people to...

The job title longer than CEO that garners the greatest hubris is when CEO is promoted to XCEO
