    issues with qantas.com

    I had the issue last week when logging in I couldn't access my account/flight details. Rather it would take me back to the homepage. It resolved itself in 24 hours and I rung it up to standard Qantas IT. Their website is 'ok' in usability when it's working, but given the size of the company...

    As a kid, I dreamed of flying this as the ultimate indulgence

    As a younger (<30 years) person I'm fortunate in that I've done a lot of flying in my childhood. In my early 20s flying was purely a way to get A-->B quickly. Now I enjoy the flight and it's as much a part of the holiday. I was fortunate to fly J on a 744 in my first overseas holiday during my...

    Qantas and Facebook assistance

    Hi all, I'm not sure how much value others would find from this but thought I'd mention it. For my last few trips I've had to contact Qantas regarding some minor queries, such as confirming an upgrade request was in the system (when the website was being strange), linking separate itineraries...

    South America questions

    No worries, join in! As for time of year, I'm restricted to September, which makes hiking in Patagonia a little chilly (no pun). Apparenlty the Chilean and Argentinean treks are equally amazing. We've chosen the W-trek in Chile for no specific reason.

    Japan planning and SQ biz questions

    I returned late last year from 3 weeks in Japan. I flew Qantas so I cannot advise on the flight questions. We didn't venture north but did visit Tokyo, Osaka, Hakone, Nagasaki, Kyoto. We spent 5 days in Kyoto and I could have happily stayed longer there. The food was consistently of higher...

Chile we're going to get some hiking in down in Patagonia and then consider getting a rental car and driving back...

    Qantas online Mall, cookies and points

    It's also worth noting that the points aren't immediately deposited to your account and aren't deposited in a reliable fashion. I had two stays, three days apart in late November/December last year. One was deposited 2 weeks later, the other was 6 weeks.

    Qantas online Mall, cookies and points

    Would a Wiki be useful in terms of member's experiences with the points mall and relative success rates? -I've found DJs to be inconsistent - usually they don't send an email but I get the points (and bonus points up to 2 months later) eBay is always good for their points -Apple sent me an...

    Dave Griffin have you heard anything back from HSBC? My letter is dated 20/1/17 but posted on the 23/1. I haven't received anything in response yet. As a broader question, how long should I wait until I send a second letter?
