DSC is a Qantas Loyalty initiative, and they don’t really care about your first three points. It will be interesting if status extensions impact booking volumes, maybe they will, who knows. But not long to wait to find out.

Knowing the right people at Mascot has its benefits :D

On a recent DOH-SIN QR J service arriving into SIN at 9am, I was offered chips and popcorn for breakfast prior to arrival. No breakfast menu.

Interesting the variation in timing in this thread, my QR flights in July all credited within 24hrs. Very efficient.

Why were you banned from Qantas? They usually do that to abusive customers?

There is usually a delay between when it is flagged to be cancelled and when it actually happens in the system, sometimes the delay can be longer than usual if the Scheduling / Network team are under a lot of pressure which they are at the moment :) Revenue Mgmt can/do zero out flights to ensure...

More than likely the tech crew who were meant to be on QF433, the cancelled 10am. As others have said the traveller, if they didn't make a fuss, was more than likely a staff traveller.

No, the credit can be used on any fare bucket. The value of the fare just has to be higher than the credit voucher. From the T&Cs ^ Credit vouchers are issued based on the terms and conditions of the fare purchased, and can only be used towards a fare of equal or higher value. Domestic travel...

As I said in your other thread - flight cancellations due to light loading happen weeks / months out from departure. Close in there is little to no cost saving. Can we please stop this myth about Qantas cancelling flights on the day of departure because of loads. It is not accurate I promise :)

Cancellations are more likely to be due to Mechanical / Crewing / Weather / ATC than planes not being filled. If planes are "not being filled" they are cancelled months from departure. This is standard airline procedure, if they are cancelled close in you still have to pay for crew so it...

Do you have Expert Flyer, you can look at seat configs there! I had a brief look, and the days I looked at did have Q Suite config on the 777, but make sure to check the specific day before you book - and I guess be aware that the planes can always change..

I don't understand how seeing the fare bucket makes a difference.. the monetary outcome is exactly the same. For example. Bought I Class fare $650 + Fare Difference at airport to J Fare $500 = $1150 Bought J Fare on website = $1150 What benefit is there to buy a more expensive fare outright or...

You're right! i read an article yesterday that said all other airlines (including Jetstar) had come to an agreement, but looks like that was incorrect and it is Qantas Group. Interesting.. Well they have more bargaining power doing it together I guess.

Qantas doesn't pay Jetstar's airport charges.. They have completely different charges. I would argue that airports have much higher profit margins than airlines do.. At least MEL / SYD etc.

Definitely try Facebook!
