I always wonder why code share numbers are used/publicised at all. After all they are only a sequence of letters and numbers to put on the issuer’s ticket and if they used the actual operator’s number for connections it would be much clearer. But I have to admire the efficiency of Air Traffic...

I renewed my British passport in June 2023 and the online application asked me to send a photocopy of my Australian passport.

Easy out of town train day trips to walkable towns such Bath, Cambridge, Canterbury, Winchester. Arrive early and check out the local visitor centre to see what’s on, such as local walks etc. Be sure to try London Walks London Walks - London's Best Guided Walking Tours A fantastic range of...

In a relatively short period pre covid we had experienced PE with CX (4 flights) SQ (4 flights) and QF (4 flights). I would rank them CX disinterested service from economy staff but more leg room. SQ standard economy service with leg room. But nothing special. QF slimmed down business...

Déjà vu. The same happened to me with CX in PE on the same route. Meal tray delivered, meal tray removed before I realised they hadn’t served tea and coffee. At breakfast I meekly asked for tea and got it with cold stare. It was not offered to other passengers whose trays were quickly removed...

Had our vaccinations on Monday. We had been relaxed waiting for our GP to have supplies but decided to just go ahead any way. Went to the Royal Exhibition building in Melbourne. Got off the train at Parliament station. Pleasant walk through the gardens. Straight in. Done. Followed by fifteen...

I’m sorry but I must disagree with you. The OP did not game the system. They entered into a business arrangement to with QANTAS, bought ticket and booked a seat in accordance with published rules.

We received a refund (after 6 weeks) earlier this year when a flight to London was canceled. The shortfall was exactly the amount of the credit card fee. I believe the fee relates to the credit card transaction which did actually occur and was therfore funded by the CC Company. Refunding the...

I remember traveling London to Paris on the Night Ferry Sleeper train 1977 when I took my wife to be to meet my parents England. (The service stopped in1980) The classic “Agatha Christie novel” French style wagon-lits carriages lined up at Victoria. I managed to wake up at Dover to observe the...

This is the address provided by Scr77 on page 35 [email protected] I used it to chase up my refiund. Worked a treat. Thanks Scr77

For the 8th June I think you should get cancelation notice fairly soon. Other posts this afternoon say QANTAS are getting more difficult (if that’s possible) in not explaining how to get a refund. Like me, you may be offered a voucher with no mention of a refund. In my case I went to manage...

Subject to checking the particular conditions of your ticket. It would be best to wait as long as you can. If you cancel it will be a voucher. Let QANTAS cancel and you can get a refund. I found the email address useful to push them into expediting the actual refund payment after allowing...

Aargh, you have hit on the only real objection to the app. Now they will have reason for putting the damn thing on the table. Worse still they might even use it in the restaurant so we can all know what good citizens they are.

At what stage does a booking for a future event become a failure to supply? Our contract with the airline is a ticket to travel from A to B on a particular date. The terms of the ticket does not guarantee much in the way of time, flight or even a selected seat. All can be varied within reason...

Last Sunday I was meant to be departing on QF9, returning QF10 in June. Unfortunately I am still here dreaming of what might have been. Thanks to advice on AFF I ignored inducements to cancel for a voucher without penalties and waited for QANTAS to initiate the cancellation which they did on...
