On my 2nd flight I received a 100% bonus as well. First flight was the 50% for gold

My understanding is that you should have got 500 as the bonus? ... looking at my statement today, it appears the bonus that went through today was 100% - instead of the 50% i should have got (and which posted correctly for a previous flight)

Thats sounds like the good old Townsville i remember!! My first driving trip down there from Cairns i literally had to pull over and take a deep breath after the random street name changes, and finally a lane i was in just ended, no signs or anything. It was like they had run out of bitumen and...

Reminds me of the episode of "Kath & Kim" where Kath & Kel are given mystery flights from Kim (by using Kaths CC to earn points) but end up having to spend the day at Tullamarine because of strikes .. ok .. clearly i need to go to rehab for remembering that

at Melbourne Airport yesterday i got the privilege of being charged $153.17 "Fuel Surcharge" for returning the car with a FULL tank - luckily i noticed before getting on the plane and got it fixed up on the spot (and before someone else got the car etc) Ive rented with them twice since getting...

Was it worth it? It's something I've been looking at as it's likely my only chance to be in first class on any aircraft with any carrier :)

Does this only refer to people impacted by the grounding? Or does it include other flights cancelled in the earlier strikes?

Looking at Google Maps, are they not basically the same place? CBR Airport on one side, and the RAAF base on the other?

Im probably on the side of the Pilots on this one - the action was not disruptive. They have unfairly been associated with the likes of Sheldon and the TWU I hope Sheldon doesn't become ALP President

well Stephen Fry hasn't had a great week of flying with Qantas .. First caught up in the grounding, and now stuck in Dubai Twitter

I would love to get 5% over 3 years ... instead i haven't had any sort of pay rise for 5+ years, i have had my car and fuel card taken off me (which is effectively $300/week). All employees of the company i work for had similar decreases in there packages because the company we worked for was...

Only those in the unions will be locked out and not paid - i dont see why he should share anything with them?

Flightradar24.com - Live Flight Tracker! im guessing that might be her?

I was recently affected by cancellations due to a strike that was eventually called off. It turned my nice 8pm arrival to Bendigo into a dreadful 11:30pm. I heard many people at the airport commenting about the "bloody unions" so I guess any public support they had is starting to turn against...

I didnt think the use of the forward toilet was for the exclusive use of the J cabin ... last time i flew the line was "for the benefit of those in business class" Maybe they would be better of not mentioning the forward toilet

Gold status match is now showing online (applied on the 26th) Looking forward to giving Virgin another shot, haven't flown with them since 2009

If they could firm up the timing a little more, they could do well out of it - if it was only held say 1-2 times a year and marketed appropriately. I know it would likely be my own chance of getting on another of that size, and i would probably fly myself down from CNS to either SYD/MEL/BNE to...

Yep, the 50,000pts to get away for a few days :D

Re: Going oneworld (Qantas, BA, Finnair, Air Berlin, Royal Jordanian, Cathay) in Y/J/ Great report so far, love reading it Although i hope your not taking travel tips from Karl Pilkington?

does seem 'Australian' to ask, i would hope it was done with the expected smirk and laughter afterwards though. I wonder who got to sit in First/Business ?
