The impact of this announcement depends a bit on which type of Frequent Flyer you are: Category 1: You don’t have all that many points, you don’t fly that much but you have built up some points in your account. You have saved up points for years, you don’t really know the value of them but...

Thanks Justin, that's very helpful. Do you know their timescale for the cancellation of flights ? They are still - for example - showing that i can book a flight for this week (Tues, Wed I think). This implies it is "day before" or "day of" that they do the cancellations ?

I have a Jetstar flight in 2 weeks from Sydney to Proserpine and i wondered if anyone can advise my chances of getting a refund rather than a credit voucher. My details are: - They haven't cancelled the flight yet. It's booked for Tues 28 Sept. When (relative to a flight occurring) do they...

G'day, I recall that a long time ago, platinum members could "request" that qantas "make available" frequent flyer seats at "classic award" prices rather than at "anyseat award" prices. Can anyone advise if this is still possible or if it's been cancelled ? Apologies for the excessive use...

Dave .....Yes .... they were being asked if they were travelling in First.

There was no sign there. And there was no request to get a voucher or anything from front desk. It was just person after person being turned away.

Hmmm.... I've had some troubles at Heathrow too. I was in the First lounge at T5 (travelling bus class), - I had accessed the lounge area ok. When I went to eat in the nice restaurant at the far end, they wouldn't let me in as i didn't have a first class boarding pass. When I showed...
