That was only to point out that I have spent plenty of time travelling, and am well aware that cancellations happen. i’m also well aware of what a good airline response vs. a bad airline response is! I think in this case we’ve been able to make a date change work, after some scrambling to get...

What can I say - I was gold on qantas for years, and since then have been plat on VA. I am pretty confident I can be annoyed at the lack of reasonable alternatives offered. They won't even change us to jetstar, where there are same day seats available.

Finally got hold of customer service. Yeah, cancelled. This is my first QF flight for ages after switching to virgin back so far it was virgin blue... Looks like it'll be my last QF flight for a while too!

Yeah, going via SYD and arriving a day late is not OK in my books.

Hi folks, Got a notification today that two bookings for May 2019(one cash and one points, all on the same flights) have had the Brisbane to Tokyo leg cancelled and we've been re-routed via a Sydney overnight (!) flight. Anyone know if QF has announced any route cutbacks for Japan or...

I just did this for the first time on the weekend. I like it - even if I fly in J, the day after arriving in the morning is a write-off for me anyway, so I'd prefer to land in the evening and get a normal night's sleep.

Both - but as it turned out J looked full, so I have no complaints. Well, aside from LAX being terrible in general and the VA lounge situation in particular!

Not looking good for me! I’m in LAX now waiting for my flight home, and despite there being a bunch of empty seats in business (at least as far as expertflyer can see), my waitlisted points upgrade doesn’t seem to have cleared. Certainly goes some way to explain the much lower award...

Thanks Mattg, that gives me a timeframe to start watching more carefully - still a few unsold, so I'm hoping!

Hi folks, I've never tried for a points upgrade on VA, but I'm going to give it a try with some upcoming flights to LAX. There's no business award availability showing right now, but there's still business availability so at least it's not booked solid! Anyone have any experience of...

Just in case anyone sees this thread in the future - my 'review' took 13 days.

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo Nah, I haven't purchased anything from QF in years - I'm guessing I hit some bonus partner without realising (I won't complain about it regardless!).

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo Weirdly it just appeared, in a separate transfer to another for this month. And not just the 75K bonus, approx 77K points.

Re: ANZ QFF Black 75,000 bonus with no annual fee 1st year -only $2500 spend 1st 3 mo Quick question - I just hit my 3 month date and still no bonus points despite having been way over the required spend for a while. Normal 'spend' points are showing up regularly in QFF for all 3 months. Do...

I am a bit biased as I really like SQ and have never done Etihad in Y, but I would be going via Singapore. SQ Y is just about as good as it gets IMHO, and it sounds like the layover time isn't long enough for the better lounge to make a difference. The KF Gold lounge isn't terrible, and all...
