    Cancelled flights & waivers due to Cyclone Alfred

    I’m currently on hold to the SG QF line in Aus from Sri Lanka, and have been for 20 minutes, fortunately it’s a wifi call. I fell off WP in November, back to LTG. 😢 Anyways, I fly in to Sydney at 1830 on Emirates F 6th. I was out the next day back to TSV via BNE but that might be a shot duck...

    Best way between concourses DXB Int T3

    I'm doing an EK F flight on points in March from DXB to SYD, I'll be inbound to DXB also F from CMB. I've got 9 hours to kill so I'm looking at doing all the J/F lounges, and the "secret" lounge in Concourse C. So what's the best way to get between the concourses? Any time estimates greatly...

    What is the statute of limitations on “never again”?

    Ditto. In my case it was 15 years ago. I will effing WALK rather than give them money.

    Vancouver lounge for Qantas Business Class

    Just a data point here, I’m QF WP and currently on the way back to Australia on QF76 at YVR In J. I was having some trouble working out whether we had lounge access or not. So I checked in the old-fashioned way with the human and was directed to the Skyteam lounge at gate D 53 and I’m currently...

    Qantas Staff Incompetence - Ticketed 2 adults and not infant, leading to denied boarding

    Check, check, check and check again. I have 2 Air BNB's. I am CONSTANTLY amazed by the amount of people that book accommodation with me and then just completely vanish from all forms of communication. To the point of not answering any form of Comms so I can send entry instructions so they can...

    Managing Westjet flights booked on QF points

    Yeah, I basically had to jump on the J SYD-YVR-SYD while it was there. I wasn't greatly concerned how I was gunna get to Toronto or back. I take your point though. But time isn't an issue, the bag and luggage fees are chicken feed IMO. I'm long over worrying about the minutiae of whose rules...

    Managing Westjet flights booked on QF points

    I just did this a couple of weeks ago. I'm going SYD-YVR-SYD J on points but my ultimate destination is Toronto. So I booked Westjet YVR-YYZ return on points. Step 1. Ring QF and get Westjet's PNR, quoting QF's PNR. Step 2 Plug that into Westjet's version of Manage your booking. Step 3 Buy...

    Have you actually lost your passport before while travelling?

    Guilty your honour. I lost mine between the plane boarding gate at Heathrow and the plane landing at Dublin Airport in 2015. I turned the plane upside down, twice. Clearly I had it to get through the gate at Heathrow, but it was nowhere to be found when we landed at Dublin. After a bit of...

    Abandoned in Bali by Jetstar

    Yet another example in the very long list of reasons why the Australian Airline Industry needs legislation to cover instantaneous re-imbursement on cancellation as AN ABSOLUTE MINIMUM. Right then and there. Then we'll talk about the additional costs incurred. And that should also be...

    Beautiful, thank you. I just don't remember having to do that on single destination stuff. I'll give it a whirl.

    Article: Bizarre Trick to Get Qantas First Class Awards

    I cannot for the life of me get the view of the 4 week availability period that you have to come up for me. I'm a P1. I've tried multiple cities, domestic and international and it just always takes me straight to the individual day screen, even when choosing flexible with dates. It's driving...

    Is anyone still Platinum?

    I'm P1 and have done what I believe was my retaining flight but the dashboard on the QF website shows me needing 1780 SC to retain P1, it doesn't say I've retained. Does anyone else's dashboard read the same way? I'm slightly concerned that I've been "dudded" I've got until Nov to rectify if...

    Qantas petition to open state borders

    Massive difference between attempting to get what you want from your employees' unions and directly shafting your customers, and your customer's employees ( Many of whom actually DO pay for their own ticket - I was one ) to make a point ( Self-interested as it may be ) don't you think? Many...

    Qantas petition to open state borders

    Who would you back in a legal contract dispute between BHP/RIO/FMG and QF/others? No way on earth are QF or others that stupid I'd think. That would be absolutely and spectacularly biting the hand that feeds you. And I know from personal experience that large mining companies are not noted for...

    Virgin Australia Financially Secure? [Now in Voluntary Administration]

    Yep. Over how many years of operations? Not good at all, being grounded for safety issues, but Ansett was a very long way superior to Tiger.
