Can anyone provide any suggestions on routes between the US - SE Asia - Australia that still have First on OneWorld carriers? I’m planning a US trip (NY) and my go-to pre covid used to be booking an ACIR26 with a stopover in HKG on the way there. These days however it seems none of the OW...

I went against my better judgement and didn't push the point when a colleague suggested we book on Jetstar to get a team of 4 (including myself) back from BNE to CBR this afternoon. Went about as well as can be expected from Jetstar: • Discover that Jetstar bag drop is on the opposite end of...

Only found one blurry photo from that trip - this is the "Babyskåp - baby cupboard with storage net".

It’s been a while since we did this trip (our youngest is 9) but we found the bassinet at 5A to be fairly useless. Our daughter was 6 months old at the time, it was just too deep and scary for her to actually settle, and when the seatbelt sign was turned on we were supposed to put a giant...

We have a Porsche Taycan, which would have to be the worlds least efficient electric car. Massive 94kWh battery, about 320km highway cruising range. Last year we took it from Canberra to the Gold Coast for a couple of days away. The 1150km trip each way took 13 hours elapsed time door to door...

I flew QF CBR-MEL last Monday, in J. There were about 6 J seats spare after the doors closed, and the FAs went down the aisles and upgraded a number of Korean War veterans who had been in Canberra over the weekend for a memorial service. They also made specific mention of them during the in...

I use Notability with an Apple Pencil on the smaller iPad Pro. For general note taking it works well, my only grievances are: * When adding drawings / annotations next to typed notes the drawings don’t flow with the text. If I add more text at the top of the note then the text flows down but...

If so, that’s a bit rough if Qantas are using the chemical discovery issue (something genuinely out of their hands) to cover up a different failing. As has been said however, at least they let people know and suggested they take food / coffee from the lounge rather than having them find out on...

It’s odd indeed, no obvious signs of any issues and no delays at international transfer as far as I can tell. Will see whether my flight has any catering issues - though it’s a Q400 to CBR so there’s not really any catering anyway.

I’m currently in the QF Business lounge in Sydney, they’re making announcements that all flights ex-Sydney this morning will have nil catering due to an “incident at International” (their words). Anyone know more?

It seems odd to resurrect this thread after such a long while, but I can finally report that my Lifetime Gold membership card has arrived. It only took a bit over 5 months for Qantas to send me a new card - and in the end that only happened because I tried to use the Qantas Cash part of my old...

I received a similar targeted offer 2 weeks ago - I had spent about 30 minutes logged into the QF site searching for Business fares to SIN, but didn’t book anything. A few days later I got the targeted offer with the email subject specifically mentioning Singapore.

And again, same boat here. No new card as yet. Have flown 3 QF flights this week (ironically more than in the last 3 months prior to my demotion) and the old card still works fine as a boarding pass, though the dragon at the QP in Sydney pulled me up for it being expired and wouldn’t let me in...

I was on hold with the call centre for the entire drive to the airport, so unless there was a failure of call waiting on my mobile I don't think Qantas actively tried to call me. There were certainly no messages left on my voicemail - I checked just now to be sure. I would have thought that a...

The ticketing staff at the airport rebooked me onto the 8am flight, at a cost of $150 which was a change fee plus the fare difference for the cheapest available class. As luck would have it I ended up on a 737 in 13C with nobody in 13B, so it was a pretty comfortable flight. In theory that's...

Firstly, apologies to anyone on QF1424 this morning - if you were delayed because a checked in passenger failed to board that'd be my fault... As it was the first time I've missed a flight where it wasn't the airline's fault, I'm curious to know how others handle this situation. I woke up at...

OK, I'll walk back some of my frustration with QF as it turns out they handled the cancellation very well after all. I received a callback from the QF call centre about 40 minutes after my initial call. By that time QF had rebooked me onto a direct flight with VA that gets me to Brisbane...

And again I find my self in exactly the same boat as you! I'm flying to Brisbane tomorrow, for some stupid reason I booked a QF flight in J. Everything seemed peachy until Qantas decided just now to cancel that flight. Of course Manage my Booking on the QF website still shows the flight as...

I sympathise @Pleb Status - I’m in almost exactly the same situation this morning. I’ve been WP for just over 10 years, about 18000 SCs mainly earned through ACIRC and AONEx fares, but I haven’t flown Qantas internationally for about 15 months and only managed 160 SC this last year. As of this...

The tipping point for me was when a 3rd Sydney flight was called and I was still sitting in the lounge waiting for an update on 1424. I had no idea at that point that 1424 had been cancelled and I'd been rebooked onto a much later flight. Had I waited for my re-booked flight I would have...
