    A plane load of free Virgin Voyagers [Subsequent Issues due to Cancellation of Australian Voyages]

    Between this and the Velocity offer - they really must be having difficulties selling the packages!!!

    We'd like your feedback on Australian aviation policy

    The effectiveness is absolutely useless. I have tried to use them a few times - first instance, they just forwarded my complaint back to the airline (without chasing it up), and the second time they didn't even respond to my complaint. It appears it is staffed by one or two team members, who...

    Qantas Systematic Cancellation of Flights

    100%. I recently had some time on my hands, so sent an email to my Federal MP, Patrick Gorman asking if the Government were going to set up a proper ombudsman or introduce something similar to EU 261. Got no response after quite a while, so tried to chase it up. First response (phone call): It...

    Does anyone else find the Qantas app slow?

    On a related note - does anyone have issues with the QF app on the Apple Watch? Regularly logs itself out, and says that I need to open the app on my phone....

    This is a massive loss for the AFR! I wonder where he's off to next . . .

    Coles gift card offers

    In terms of the current Uber promo - I've been to three stores in the Perth metro area, and none in stock.

    Doesn't seem to be an option for "Have a local esim, and use an esim overseas"

    New Amex redemption rates for SQ/EK; adding transfers to QR/HA

    Problem I see with QR through Velocity is plenty of phantom seats.

    Virgin Business reward flights Availability next year disappeared

    Lots of phantom Qatar rewards show as bookable, but you get to the payment stage, and it won't book. I've had trouble finding any Business rewards to EU at any time of the year with Velocity.

    New Amex statement credits

    I don't think this has been mentioned - but a WA targeted offer. Spudshed: Spend $50, get $10 back.

    Qantas Neighbour Free seating: Worth paying for?

    Yeah, I got an offer last week for a PER-BNE red-eye on the 737. Wasn't going to take it up (had to cancel the trip, anyway).

    US DOT proposing EU 261 style compensation.

    I for one, have contacted my MP on this front (about 8 weeks ago). Got no response to an email, so gave his office a call. Asked them for a response - nothing yet.

    New Amex statement credits

    Just be aware they're asking for ID - so you can't sign up your dog/cat etc...

    Travel Insurance

    I always use InsureandGo for my overseas Insurance. They always seem to have a discount code on Ozbargain (GROUPON20 currently gets you 20% off), and both times I've had to make a claim (different trips), they've paid out very quickly. They're also very good with certain pre-existing conditions.

    QFF Award CX flight confirmed and then wait listed, what are my next steps?

    Further update: Just received an email with a confirmed ticket from QF - and the app is no longer showing "Waitlisted". Finally, what an ordeal. Plenty of wasted hours.

    QFF Award CX flight confirmed and then wait listed, what are my next steps?

    Does anyone have any contacts of anyone at QF who know what the issue is/how to resolve this? My booking is still Waitlisted, and I'm getting fobbed off by the 1300 659 161 team. One person I spoke with even hung up on me, after I politely asked to escalate the call to his supervisor (he was...

    Virgin site borking when trying to book Qatar seats

    I actually had one of these book! A BER-DOH-PER in J. Got a confirmation number, a pending transaction on my CC for the taxes - but when I called (didn't receive an email with the ticket), I was told that it didn't exist.

    QFF Award CX flight confirmed and then wait listed, what are my next steps?

    I'm watching this. Booked PER-HKG-LHR on CX in August in J. Booked it on Friday. Points deducted, taxes charged. I have a confirmation number and an 081 ticket number, but it's showing in the QF app as "Waitlisted". Confirmation number not working on CX. Have emailed...
