    JQ PER-DPS cautions

    The "addition"to get the MAX fare between PER and DPS is not that large a "markup" Fair number of points and an additional 25 SC (total 50) Cheaper than QF domestic when wandering Fred

    JQ PER-DPS cautions

    Online states a bagdrop would be available. Being international, there would have to have been a document check, checking your data. At the JQ checkin at PER, there was no advantage to the passenger as there was only one (VERY long est 45minute) queue. The advantage to JQ would have been...

    JQ PER-DPS cautions

    JQ online seriously asks that you checkin online....... for the international DPS route On arrival at the terminal, it was obvious that there were no dedicated check in positions for travelers who had followed the online advice. Though it was clear that those who had, took a lot less time to...

    My AA issued ticket has a QF PNR which was referenced on the AA website with my QFF number. The QFF site was/is happy to deal with the associated QF flight in all respects. Certainly helps wandering Fred

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    Rather we are alienated by the lack of personal and corporate responsibility which is required before the latter two items can be considered fairly. Qantas needs to recover a level of responsibility to the customer. No wandering Fred

    CEO retiring, what changes at Qantas would you like to see

    Given the current level of government "concern" with Qantas, perhaps it is now time that the WA government gave an ultimatum on the move to T1/2 in Perth. So my list for QF management: 1- a committed time schedule for moving to T1/2 in Perth 2- PremY seating on all future wide body planes -...

    Are Jetstar really that bad??

    I have no idea how future performance will come to pass, but PER-DPS or return has at least been approximately on time. The on budget varies a bit, but the MAX fares are a relatively inexpensive way to earn QFF SCs. And international tickets exDPS are generally less expensive than originating...

    The Midlife Crisis thread

    The latest (what is hopefully going to be a) mid life crisis (at 77) is the lack of ease of travel at preCovid levels. Well and the added risk of not getting travel insurance? And what the semi annual check-ups would like you to follow up. And to a hope for many more hours of happy wandering Fred

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    On the contrary, the reports on this thread indicate that AFF members are supplying massive amounts of user testing. At a higher level of expertise than QF could ever hope to hire. :):cool: But these testers tend to go wandering Fred

    Anyone heard that Qantas are replacing check-in with self check?

    But QF is seemingly making it quite plain they wish to make the alternative option as difficult as possible for the (independent minded) traveler..... And the preponderance of comments on this thread seem to support this If and when you attempt to go wandering Fred

    Anyone heard that Qantas are replacing check-in with self check?

    Isn;t this illegal tying in business systems? that is, having to possess a graphical interface phone to be permitted to fly? Maybe some corporate lawyers need some anti-trust education? Maybe this is why international is my favorite wandering Fred
