    Canceling a ticket bought by travel agent's credit card

    Yeah look it sounds like your "relative" committed to buy the ticket. It sounds like if payment had been due at the time your "relative" would have paid then and there, and hence gave the impression to the TA that they were fully committed to the purchase. So why is it any different when the...

    Flight Availability/Loadings & Upgrade Probability Help Desk

    G'day brothers and sisters of AFF. I'm jumping on QF1 on 23/6/2012. What're the loadings like? Whadya reckon the chances of an op-up from Y for a lowly QFF Silver will be?

    Call centres

    Well I guess my only comparison is between Expedia's non-Australian call centre and the Qantas premium call centre. I have a flight out of Berlin booked in the next couple of weeks. As some of you would know, the new Berlin Brandenburg airport was supposed to open on 3 June this year but has...

    BA checked luggage allowance as QF PS

    Flying CPH-xLHR-xHKG-xSYD-BNE last year, QF number all the way but BA metal CPH-LHR, I was only allowed the standard 23kg by the BA checkin at CPH as QF PS. I'm going to have the same problem this year with BER-xLHR-xSIN-BNE. Pretty sure if you read the PS benefits rules, the extra baggage only...

    Qantas staff suspended amid workplace cough claims

    It doesn't need to be on a website. Someone could have brought it in on a USB stick.

    Vacation rentals in New York City,

    That sort of behaviour would raise alarm bells to me. It might work if you were the only person the apartment was ever rented out to and the legitimate tenant was there the rest of the time. But what you'll find is that the apartment is rented out to one person after another. Any doorman will...

    Suck it up mate...

    He has competed at several paralympics in several sports and won a silver medal. But you've heard his name so clearly he must be a whinger. :rolleyes:

    Qantas a380 Headphone Jack

    That doesn't even make sense. On a two-prong socket, each hole is the equivalent of a mono jack. Plugging stereo headphones into a mono jack will not cause any damage. It won't be the most pleasurable listening experience (you'll miss out on half the sounds and possibly only be listening with...

    Jestar Max Seat Allocation

    For row 1 you only want the ABC side. DEF are right up against a divider between the cabin and the "galley". Leg room in row 1 DEF is even worse than a regular seat.

    Australian Products - cheaper abroad

    Yeah, riding Amtrak across north western USA in December 2009 they were selling Penfolds St Henri for $5 a glass. That's well under half what you'd pay in a bottle-o (assuming 6 glasses per bottle etc). Preeeetty sure someone had made a mistake somewhere because other trains were carrying...

    [Conjecture]Qantas to move European base to Berlin (BER)?

    How's the freight out of Berlin? I'm thinking a lot of QF's profit out of FRA comes from freight. I'm also thinking there is more high-fare paying business traffic into FRA than Berlin.

    Qantas's website won't sell me tickets from Berlin after 3/6/2011

    It's an open jaw so it has to be Multi-city, right?

    Qantas's website won't sell me tickets from Berlin after 3/6/2011

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to book a trip in the middle of next year from Brisbane to London then Berlin to Brisbane on Qantas. The problem is on the Qantas website, choosing Berlin as the point of origin for the return flight actually chooses Berlin Tegel airport (TXL) which closes on...

    REX - Well Done

    Yes Rex are pretty rad like that. Having the First Officer chilling at the bottom of the stairs welcoming people aboard and helping old ladies up the stairs, radioing ahead to make sure there are enough taxis waiting at the airport, etc. I kinda feel sorry for them because I reckon QFLink...

    UK Domestic Travel in December

    I would suggest the the train. It is a very nice way to travel and probably won't take that much longer by the time you take trips to and from the airport and check in into account. Whatever you do, make sure you get reserved seats. I have recently been on a train from Manchester to Edinburgh...

    Re: Qantas making flight changes between Australia, Bangkok, Hong Kong, London, You seriously haven't heard? Qantas are no longer flying to London via Bangkok or Hong Kong and are flying to Santiago instead of Buenos Aires.

    [Conjecture]Qantas to move European base to Berlin (BER)?

    Yes I did know this but I forgot to mention it in my first post. RJ only flys to AMM-BKK. The BKK-SIN part is a codeshare on Thai. One would assume that if what I heard is correct, RJ will start flying AMM-SIN direct.

    [Conjecture]Qantas to move European base to Berlin (BER)?

    I heard that Qantas will be announcing Amman as a new destination. QF51 will operate BNE-SIN-AMM with a 747 four days a week. The other days QF51 will operate BNE-SIN with SIN-AMM to be on a connection Royal Jordanian codeshare. This means BOM is to be dropped as a QF destination (I'm...
