The banner is still saying by 24th February, but as I sadly expected, none of my claims have been processed. The oldest has been sitting in their queue for 6 months now. I'm based in the UK which makes calling difficult. Maybe I can just cut my losses and try to claim these flights into BA...

I'm still waiting on 8 active claims (including one from September - waiting almost 6 months), so not hugely confident I'll see them all suddenly credit within the next 5 days... hope to be pleasantly surprised when I open the app on the 25th.

I made a missing points claim in December where I used the operating carrier flight number (which was the number printed on my boarding pass) instead of the codeshare airline and flight number that I'd bought it from/as. The claim was rejected very quickly, after 2 days I get an email saying...

BA are already offering special "rescue fares" of £50 on UK domestic routes to anyone with a Flybe booking reference. https://www.britishairways.com/travel/Flightops/public/en_gb?p_faqid=8938

My last few QF domestic trips I've had a blocked middle seat up until a few days before departure when I check and the block is replaced by someone now occupying the seat. I think possibly because the flights were almost full but I did notice a few middle seats stayed free (including one between...

Looks like QFF are finally processing all the online claims that got stuck 1-2 years ago! I've had 6 emails over the past few days saying my claim was unsuccessful because points were already awarded... well yes, but they were only awarded after lots of chasing via calls and emails. Meanwhile...

QR908 DOH-SYD diverted to Perth earlier today and then continued on to Sydney 2 hours later. https://uk.flightaware.com/live/flight/QTR908/history/20230121/1750Z/OTHH/YSSY

I’ve been trying to use BeemIt to pay the ATO via BPAY with a credit card, but continually getting this error when I swipe to pay.

I think it might be finally fixed?! Points and SC's for 2 BA flights I forgot about from earlier this year have just showed up in my account a few days ago.

Pre-pandemic I had a 100% success rate with international upgrade requests to Business from Y or PE, but I haven't tried recently. I've been flying other oneworld airlines instead who had Business fares at a similar price to what Qantas wanted for PE or Y. I regret not switching my earn to BA...

Having never seen this in the app, where does it come up when offered? Do you have to press anything in particular to see it (like click into the 'manage your booking' screen for that trip?)

This has become one of my biggest anxieties and regrets with an upcoming MEL to SYD to connect onto a separate booking with QR (which they have also recently changed the schedule to depart earlier reducing the buffer). Hearing that they refused to move you to an earlier flight when calling is...

I also didn't receive a reminder and forgot to use my voucher when booking a $500 economy "red e-deal" return between Sydney and Melbourne. Agree though, at that price the voucher barely makes a difference. Oh and the lovely Australian practice of then adding more fees to use a credit card to...

Some of the refunds are even automatic these days. I discovered it recently when I saw random refunds back to my card from TfL (Transport for London).

The first few months after moving to London I was getting annoyed at places listing things in 24 hour time and having to 'convert' afternoon and evening times to PM, but now many years of living here and 24 hour time comes completely natural to me. Also when my phone settings updated the region...

Is the check-in counter service completely gone from domestic now? If I want to ask about changing to an earlier flight do I have to wait until I get to the lounge?

So the article says: But over the years I've always found it to be the opposite with UK to Australia fare being much higher than Australia to UK fares. So much so that many Aussies living in the UK will buy a one-way back to Australia to then start a cycle of 12 month return tickets from...

Yep gave me a laugh the last time I was in the USA when someone saw the clock on my phone screen and commented "wow your phone is in military time" The UK and Europe are the opposite, everywhere uses 24 hour time. Australia seems to be about half way in between.

+1, a few years ago due to a QF delay into LAX, I missed my AA flights that were on a separate booking. I expected AA to treat me as a 'no show' and tell me there was nothing they could do, but the AA staff were absolutely amazing, not only was the service really personal and understanding -...

I've started receiving automated-looking emails for the online claims I lodged 6-12 months ago. They say that my claim has been processed and was unsuccessful because the points were already awarded.
