You've said it a fifth time! The spirit of Vanessa Hudson appears behind you dangling the bloody Chairman's Lounge membership of a federal politician. 😱

You forgot the fine print: * National carrier promotional offer is not available nationally. Offer void in Tasmania and the ACT. Offer limited in South Australia and the Northern Territory. See Jetstar website for further details.

A few of the *A airlines have stopped doing physical cards some time ago. I've got status with Asiana and haven't gotten a card in years. Haven't had any issues with not having it either.

I got the same. Oh well, mistakes happen and this seems like a pretty trivial one.

So, when I'm flying SYD-CBR or vv. I always get an email prior to each flight telling me that it'll be operated by Link. I'm flying CBR-SYD on Friday and today I got this email instead: So I'll be curious to see what the experience is like, assuming the email is correct. Looking at the booking...

I feel like I've stepped into a parallel universe where people on AFF are bemoaning lower airfares and devastated that increased competition will mean they can afford to fly more.

Back when it had that flight the card was fantastic value, especially if you used it for something like SYD-PER. Once the free flight went though I got rid of it and switched to the Coles Rewards Mastercard. Gotten a few good years out of that one, but now it's getting devalued as well.

Lots of different airline offers lately. Definitely a positive, even if I won't use all of them.

That flight is notorious for poor on time performance. https://www.flightstats.com/v2/flight-ontime-performance-rating/QF/11/SYD Dunno if there's some sort of scheduling issue or something that's causing it.

I always wear jeans, but that's just because I find I get cold on the plane, especially if it's a long haul flight or I'm seated in an exit row.

As previously outlined from the draft determination: The Department then responded two months later: Had it been "crystal clear" then IASC would not have had a reason to ask the Department for further advice. They clearly had a reason to request further advice and the Department needed two...

And there must have been some question mark around if this was possible or it wouldn't have taken the Department two months to get back to IASC when the question was asked.

Looking through the draft determination it seems like there was considerable discussion (and confusion?) between IASC, the Department and Virgin Australia about what was or wasn't allowed. In particular, 4.4 and 4.5 indicate the Department confirming that the sequencing was permissible...

The audience they really should be interviewing is people who used to fly Qantas regularly or semi-regularly and have now stopped and taken their business elsewhere.

I think the staff are now eligible for the Fair Entitlements Guarantee payment. The business doesn't have to have gone into liquidation, just insolvency, and then once the staff have lost their jobs, they're probably eligible. https://www.dewr.gov.au/fair-entitlements-guarantee

It's a good sign, but until it results in actual improvements I'm sceptical. There's been a lot of promises of listening closely to customer feedback in the past that haven't resulted in noticeable improvements. In regard to things like metal cutlery, more WiFi or a new website font, I don't...

Or at least not bothered. It's telling that Qantas did not make any submissions at all in response to this, so I'm guessing they probably just don't care.

I've just had a (rare) success with the Best Price Guarantee. I'd had a look on Google Hotels and found a cheaper rate at the Sofitel Beverly Hills. The rates were flexible, so I went ahead and booked it with Accor and then fill out the Best Price form and submitted it, thinking there'd be some...

I haven't used it myself, but it is possible to use Grab from Denpasar airport now. https://www.grab.com/global/airport-rides/i-gusti-ngurah-rai-international-airport/ They even have a lounge you can wait in to get collected from.

Got an interesting one this morning on my Platinum Charge Card: 1 Bonus Point per foreign currency spend equivalent to AU$1, up to 20,000 Points I've added it, but a single bonus point is not nearly enough to make up for the 3% foreign currency fee, so I don't think I'll be taking advantage of it.
