    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Well, l called and got someone from the Fiji call centre (I'm currently Gold) who quickly understood the issue and booked me on the same flight the following day. I think it helped that Business availability was easily visible via the Qantas site. Qantas site and CMT both show correct...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    So another data point for contact with this 'escalations team.' I have an OWA that includes a transit through Helsinki. Predictably a flight change came through that now has my incoming flight landing 13hrs after my next flight leaves Helsinki. No e-ticket comes through, and CMT shows no ticket...

    Broken IFE reports & compensation

    This is a thing? I did LAX-MEL (in Business) back in May and we had no IFE. Luckily l had jam packed my laptop with movies before my trip. I am pretty sure half the cabin were looking over my shoulders for hours, lol.

    So my OWA begins on Wednesday, with MEL-BNE-DOH-FCO, and the 'What ifs' are beginning to play on my mind... Is 2hrs going to be enough time to get from BNE Domestic to the International terminal, get through customs, check in, etc? My Qantas flight lands at 8.30pm and the Qatar international...

    Questions for the OWA hive mind! Help a clueless first time overseas flyer.. :) I'm about to fly on an OWA including Qantas, Qatar, BA, AA, JAL flights all in Business Class. Do the non Qantas airlines just consider me a regular Business Class passenger when it comes to their own lounge...
