    Singapore Airlines call centre fun

    Hello, this is probably going to come across as a rant more than anything, as I am very annoyed, but I am seeking some guidance. I have a trip booked with Singapore Airlines (Syd-Delhi return via Singapore) but had to make changes as my work has planned a mandatory offsite (that's a whole...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes.

    Anyone else having issues with the Flight Credit Page? After submitting the Booking Reference and Surname, all I get is an HTTP 400 error. This is on Chrome Tried Safari, and I just keep getting redirected with an error message...

    A330 to Perth economy front row fixed armrest?

    Yes, we have that in mind too. Our bub is definitely going to be too big for a bassinet. :/ Lots of empty seats still showing on the flight, so I am more worried about what @AustraliaPoochie said with them swapping it to a 737! @MEL_Traveller - nice find on the picture! It does remind me of...

    A330 to Perth economy front row fixed armrest?

    Hi all Just a quick question: flying Sydney to Perth soon, with a bub (15 months) for the first time, so there's a fair of anxiety! We are on the A330 and I'm trying to figure out the best place for us to sit with an infant. I have reserved the middle front row economy seats (23E, 23F) for me...

    Window shades

    Why have windows at all? Just have one every 5-7 rows to meet the safety requirements. I'm definitely for Shades UP! Ever taken a long overland flight? I love seeing the different terrains/landscapes/shades/snow capped mountains/fog in valleys...amazing views and never gets boring! And at...

    Went to cancel ANZ Black, retention successful

    Yup, new rules! I cancelled mine a week ago. Though, I did not call asking to cancel. I specifically said I was not expecting the Annual Fee as it was waived the previous year, so I was transferred to a senior member who was quite blunt (in a courteous way) that it was done previously as a...

    QF Upgrades - Successes or Failures (post results)

    Two successful upgrades from economy to premium economy on QF11 (Dec 11) / QF12 (Dec 18). QF11 notified by SMS about 21 hours before. QF12, got the "See Agent" at the new facial recognition gate when boarding...which is always a nice feeling but less so without the beeps!! :) In both cases, I...

    And now it looks like the metal has changed to layout A. The seat I had selected...46D...does not exist in this layout! Maybe I should take a sleeping bag and find a spot on the floor...hehe :)

    Temptation of an empty row in Economy!

    I had a couple of very nice FAs. One had a look see for me on the lower deck and the other one blocked off a row just as you described. Made my way down straight after take off. So grateful as I managed to get a fair bit of shut eye. Only issue I had was with one of the arm rests which refused...

    Temptation of an empty row in Economy!

    About 150 empty seats is what I was told... Decided not to take the gamble and stayed in the emergency row 35K, which is a great seat! The overhead bin space is virtually non existent though...

    Temptation of an empty row in Economy!

    About to depart on the QF Sydney to Lax service in the A380. Got myself into 35K in the upper deck..however the flight is pretty empty. Should I relocate my seat to an empty row in economy in the hope I'll get the whole row to myself or stick with the upper deck and emergency row leg room.?

    Not impressed with BankWest

    This sounds all too familiar. I had about $5K with of fraudulent transactions hit my account over a 20 min period, about a week after returning from the USA. Received the overseas transactions notifications (via the mobile app). Immediately checked and called Bankwest, they put a stop on the...
