    Missing miles- no boarding pass

    I've been watching this thread with some interest only to discover that I've been ripped off of points/SC's for a LAX-MEL flight I took a couple of months ago. Now the most annoying part of all this is that I rang and was told the change would be on the board within 15 minutes and now 1 week...

    Plat and 100000 points

    It is a scary thought. I think I might know a few QF lurkers that monitor this site but I do everything I can not to be too identifiable. The only problem is with that discussion where we identified what we do in life but I think I was fairly neutral with regards to my personal details.

    Amex to launch Centurion card

    It looks like they were wrong in the article where they stated at the bottom of the article that the Centurion Card was so exclusive you couldn't even get it here. Oh, I just noticed that the article was dated Oct 2002. :oops:

    Becoming a Travel agent - Good or bad

    Sidetracked - Yes, Interesting - Yes. It happens regularly & funnily enough the same thing happens when I'm in a regular conversation with someone. I think it provides the variability I like in this forum. :)

    Becoming a Travel agent - Good or bad

    I believe it's conveniently forgotten that it was the Australian Govt. via CASA that shut AN down. ANZ realised it couldn't run a company like AN from across the Tasman and they also tried to mold in its own image - it was never going to work.

    Hand Luggage - How Strict??

    That's good news :) Maybe a QF lurker read the post and put some customer service back into the people there.

    Mileage Run

    Gordon, how can you be QC life (which is Gold) but only silver/bronze for the FF side of things? I thought QC life was Gold across the board.

    Hand Luggage - How Strict??

    Have IATA lowered the bag limit as the last time I checked it was 7KG for carry-on? One of my first posts to this forum was about the check-in naz_ in BNE who made my life a sweating hell while I tried to transfer luggage back and forth between the two small bags I had with me. My solution -...

    Changes to Qantas Club Access

    ... it also proves QF customer service lurks these corridors or flyertalk. I seem to remember another discussion where I said I travelled on another carrier but still went down to the QP for the comfort/drinks, etc. Someone has decided to tighten up on the loopholes. I also will be royally...

    $29 dollar tickets

    Naah, it's much too far for me and I live way north out of Melbourne. For me to get to Avalon I have to go through Bacchus Marsh. Plus I'm a ff gatherer. 8) The only thing that would make me consider it is if the seats were a lot more comfortable than the usual coach seats and it was a long...

    What Jobs do you have that require you to do so much travel?

    I work in customer service to every regional and air transport airline in Australia, NZ and the Sth Pacific. Needless to say this takes me INT & DOM regularly but the parent company is cutting back on our budgets so the path to Plat is a yearly challenge. This time I've reached it with 4...

    First Business Class trip

    Yes there is an Air NZ lounge in AKL but seeing as the ticket is Thai that may present a problem. Mind you if there is a Thai lounge in AKL, that may be nicer. 'First Class' in the USA is the same as Business Class everywhere else for DOM travel. I can't remember when it stopped but Australia...

    First Business Class trip

    With this being your Mum's first and only trip in Business Class I would suggest she hang a sign around her neck that says "yes to everything". :wink: Just kidding, but if I think back to my first time, everything was wonderful and I had absolutely nothing to complain about. Having just come...

    Sheraton Resort Promotion - Kids get Breakfast Free

    Maybe you just edit the original and delete the whole paragraph. Replace it with an explanation stating something like "Edited to delete double posting". Haven't tried it but that's what I would try.
