    QANTAS takes A380s out of circulation [and reduces flights]

    This seems strange to me renatts. I rang yesterday morning to change a points booking in J on QF35/QF1 (via SIN) in July 2020 and I was able to be swapped straight over on to QF9, notwithstanding that the old QF1 had not been cancelled/replaced on the QF system yet (and to my knowledge still...

    QANTAS takes A380s out of circulation [and reduces flights]

    I agree with this advice to get proactive and ask for the replacement fights that suit you ASAP. I called QF this morning and spoke to a lovely lady (apologising for ignoring Qantas' 'don't call us, we'll call you' directive). She was half an hour into her first shift since the changes and I...

    Whereabouts of the refurbished qantas A380's

    Hello all. I've just noticed today that my two QF35 bookings in April - the 9th and 23rd - have both had an aircraft change this morning - they are now on the Dreamliner. Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere but do we think this is related to the A380 refurbs?

    Best seats economy A380?

    Hi all. Getting excited about flying off tomorrow for Easter on a QF A380 in Y (the excitement is in the flying off part, not the Y part). I have the option of 66EF or 32FG upstairs. I have looked through this forum but can't tell whether one of these rows has more or less legroom due to the...

    Etihad chauffeur

    I thought I'd give a quick update about this, especially for N860CR... After responding to Etihad's request on AFF for me to contact them directly, I was then told 'Hi Uncle BJ, we can see that our Guest Relations Officer has requested a receipt to process the claim. Please let us know what you...

    Thanks N860CR. The car wouldn't accept credit cards so he had to pay with cash; it was lucky he'd taken out euros in Australia before he left.

    Etihad chauffeur

    Just had a very disappointing set of experiences with Etihad Chauffeur and, subsequently, EY's Customer Service department. My partner flew in J with EY from MEL-AUH in late June and had the chauffeur service booked at each end (the AUH chauffeur to take him to DXB to connect to an EK flight)...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    My understanding oinkoink is that no ANZ card (with the exception of the ANZ Business Black which gives rewards points which, when converted to QFF points, are of little value comparatively) now earns QFF points with the ATO. Certainly my ANZ FF Black has stopped doing so since 27 March 2016.
