They have an app you can use to generate codes. Not quite as nice as using TOTP so you can use your choice of app, but they certainly don't require the use of SMS. Ideally Qantas would allow the use of something like a Yubikey, but I can just imagine the complaints here if they insisted on...

Got caught up in this while taking my wife to the airport on Sunday morning. On her way into the terminal she walked past the driver being questioned by police - it seems they were texting while driving. I'm still not quite sure how you can end up with the car like that though! Perhaps the kerb...

A heavy bag fee would normally apply, for bags up to 32kg, but since you're travelling in business class, the fee is waved. Details at the bottom of: https://www.finnair.com/au/gb/information-services/baggage/checked-baggage

Not sure if this is what you meant, but you definitely have to add the Max bundle to get points and SC on a Jetstar Business fare. I'm pretty sure I've seen larger differences before. It seems to match up to the way other airlines would normally price it, with the Max fare essentially being a...

If the consensus is the comment in question is fine, I'm going to give thought to leaving this site and not returning. I don't expect anyone here to care, but I suspect I'm not the only person on this site who wouldn't be here if they thought it was a comment worthy of being here. As far as...

You should be able to see the breakdown of total and status bonus points on the points activity page on the Qantas website when you log in. Just enable the "Show Status Bonus points" option. Flights that don't earn the status bonus (eg. non QF flights) won't have the bolded part listed. So...

Only one of those articles has anything suggesting the world is going to end in 2030 - the Bob Geldof one. Even then, he's simply stating it's a possibility, which is technically correct, and I'm sure even he would agree the probability of that is so low we can ignore it. To state the obvious...

I don't think these questions are relevant. If you aren't willing to change your mind no matter what the evidence is, or just don't care what happens, then just be honest about that.

There appear to be a lot of posters in this thread who aren't interested in Australia taking action on Climate Change. I'm curious though - what would it take for you to decide we need to take urgent action? A 2°C rise in average temperatures in Australia? A 4°C rise? A 10°C rise? And don't...

Those figures come from a report commission by the Minerals Council that was released over 2 years ago. I think the solar figure includes feed-in tariffs, which aren't really relevant to federal policy, and the high end of which are being phased out. The wind figure seems to match with the price...

We seem to have gone from predicting a recession because the ALP (or should I say "Unions") are going to win, to now saying things are already so bad we're heading for a recession, with international factors also a problem. I'd suggest the government has far less influence over business than...

But the claim was that forward sales died when the election was called. But there was no new information introduced by it being called. Perhaps the date being called made people come to the realisation the Coalition weren't going to propose any significant changes or direction. I presume we're...

That doesn't make any sense - the only possibility was that the election might have been earlier, but as it happened it was left until the last possible weekend (notwithstanding some suggestions next weekend would also have been a valid date). If someone thought there might have been another...

How does the threat of a year in prison sound as a deterrent? The great thing is, while you won't be stopped doing it on the day, you will be caught later, so we know how often it happens. It's also possible to figure out whether it could have impacted a particular contest...

Because if you've paid $30 million in tax, your marginal tax rate isn't 0%, which is less than 30%.

I notice that seat map now shows those seats that were taken as unoccupied or blocked. The only seats showing as occupied are 4 seats in the middle of economy. I wonder if they moved everyone off who'd already booked?

Did anyone book seats on this with a cash fare? Qantas are now promoting this as a "Points Plane" sold exclusively as reward tickets. https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/member-specials/points-plane.html

I think as of some time in the last year the barcode in the app changes periodically. Presumably a time is now included in the barcode. That said, I do remember using a screenshot even after they introduced the changing barcode. But perhaps they've only recently started enforcing it. The...

Actually, nuclear's probably a non-starter because it's much more expensive than any of the other options we have. We simply don't need it when the price of renewables and storage is dropping so dramatically.

Come on people, the discussion in this thread is filled with all sorts of baseless accusations, from a few players, and it's quite obviously almost all in one direction. The report being cited assumes wholesale electricity prices go to over $130/MWh. The cost of renewables at the moment is...
