    Can't use Australian credit card for AA reward booking

    In early mid February, I also paid for some AA flights using aussie debit card (HSBC global where I keep my USD). I used the leading zero on my post code and selected the suburb as "Pacific Forces" or similar - scroll to the bottom of the list. Interestingly, I made the mistake of booking the...

    American Airlines, why are they so unhelpful?

    The thing with call centres is they often can only see the same seat map as you. I've you checked whether your status is what is blocking your wife from sitting next to you. Can your wife select the other side of the aisle, for example? if you do that then you should be able to move to be next...

    Virgin/Qatar seat selection

    Certainly, an error on my behalf in not asking for/thinking to get a lounge pass at check in. However, the whole process did take a bit of discussion at the lounge desk, and they called Qatar check in to see if Virgin platinum was eligible. The answer was no, and so the Qatar contractors at the...

    Virgin/Qatar seat selection

    Just back from a Qantas award in economy on Qatar - Seat selection was free. Paid Qatar Economy booked via Virgin last year had to pay for seat selection. Virgin Awards in Business on Qatar, last year no problem with seat selection. In business there is no bad seat, except for 18D/F on SQ...

    Lower fees with multi city Qantas

    I was referencing the experiences reported here. You'll be happy to know I found awards from Qantas flying Qatar today In economy! with $800 co-pay each way! This is for the end of February. I'd rather pay money and earn Avios... Not sure how you make that claim, care to outline your reasoning...

    Lower fees with multi city Qantas

    LOL You got international economy awards less than a year in advance. Well done. That's very easy, I even got 3x economy and return premium to LAX 6 months in advance. Talk to us when you get business awards, young padawan. Well the fact that I got multiple business awards to europe last year...

    Price difference booking Jetstar flights on Qantas website

    I guess one difference is Qantas will give you points and won't shaft you with the $50 voucher for MAX, like Jetstar do

    Will Qantas Offer Double Status Credits before Mooted FF Program Changes in 2024?

    Again, depends on Qantas for double status on Jetstar. Much like the promo where Qantas gave double status on QF, EK and AA... not sure how it's possible to say it's not up to qantas to give double status on jetstar...

    Will Qantas Offer Double Status Credits before Mooted FF Program Changes in 2024?

    I hope soon, I've got a few optional trips and also China and UK needed this year. double status would help push that money towards Qantas. At the moment, Qatar, Malaysian and Turkish are looking pretty interesting as options, and cheap. I'm pretty sure the Qantas double promos include flights...

    Passenger “Gone Crazy on QF46”

    No according to the news reports liked in thread, and multiple "experts" replying to @nancypants Yep indeed, @jb747 and @nancypants both seem to know what they're talking about. Not sure how to resolve all the others in thread telling them they're wrong...

    Qantas theft from luggage

    Did you actually read the OP? Because if you did then you'd know the lost item was a separate bag that was zipped inside the outer bag. So not only did the other bag burst open... somehow. But the zip inside also undid itself, as if by magic... <redacted>

    Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

    Must be because I give my business class dollars to Qantas' oneworld "competitors". Personally, the lack of "exclusive" events and the basic IT problems* mean I find no value in green teir, personally. Always check here to see if that might have changed. * IT problems - adding carbon offset to...
