Will this have a flow-on effect for the QF117 scheduled for Sunday, 15 April 2018? It is showing as cancelled at the moment, and the telephone queue is over an hour long.

Is using AS constrained to what AS can find as available award reservations? or is there some other trick?

Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Is there something strange happening to QF30's at the moment? Qantas (QF) #30 Qantas (QF) #30

I had two work trips recently, my wife and son came up with me ADL-MEL-HKG with them on a personal ticket. While there, they decided to spend a few weeks in China with relatives so they delayed their return trip. I flew back HKG-MEL-ADL. My second trip was ADL-BNE-HKG, HKG-MEL-ADL - with the...

Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Post-arrival update: QF30D was delayed by an hour. We were due to depart at 1800h, we took off at about 1910h... more time in the lounge! :) We then arrived late into MEL, missed our connecting flight to ADL, and were bumped to the next...

Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion Yup, it was all fairly poor. I think the buses J PAX went to the right building, wrong entrance :) Level 4 was the lobby for Pacific Place, Level 6 is Shangri-La and the Marriot... I think the night showed the lack of decent comms from...

My sister is flying on QF2 / LHR-DXB-SYD at the moment and I'm interested in tracking the flight. I can't seem to track it on flightaware or flightrader - the former thinks it's just a DXB-SYD flight, and the latter doesn't give me the live view. What's the best way to track this flight?

Yeah, that's it. We've got a CBA Diamond MC/AMEX, it's not bad, but if it makes more sense to earn KF / AM points, I'm happy to entertain that idea... One of the CSRs on a recent flight was talking about how good QF is finding using SYD as a hub from a load % perspective. Yeah, that's great...

Shangri-La was really good. We'd never stayed in a resort like that before, it was all so convenient. Neoguri meant that the first few days were a bit wet and windy, but by the end of the week we were able to enjoy the pools. At times it wasn't the easiest place to get around for our pram - it...

Not necessarily DFAT. Australian Customs Service - Delivering today and building our capabilities for the future You might imagine other countries have similar programs, and would benefit from sharing data.

For our properties, the receipts are record three times by our property manager 1) the receipt itself 2) the monthly rental income statement 3) the annual summary statement for our accountant Is your property manager a member of the relevant real estate institute for your state? you could...

I didn't appreciate this comment at the time, I get it entirely now. Kimchi for breakfast every morning or what!

This went off without a hitch - Shangri-La transfers were perfect, typhoon Neoguri kept its distance, and our friends had the beach wedding they wanted. The only issues were the L3s! Our son hated the vans. We went ADL-xSYD-MNL, MNL-MPH vv. I was a bit unhappy QF took our pram MNL-SYD, we...

hmm... we're planning to fly ADL-...-ICN in the next month and a bit, I might look at that. the straight up CX fares don't seem that bad, although this time I'll make sure to book a decent, SC earning class.

I can't think of a good use for the points I'm earning at the moment. CX and SQ both have better route options internationally - what should I be doing with the points? I've got 60k at the moment, increasing at about 4-5k pm.
