    Re: First status run kicking off soon. Qantas lady thought I was playing a joke on he It was the same crew when I did this status run last year, and coming back to make it worse, I was the only passenger in J. The FA asked if I had been dropping something off and I said I had :oops:.

    Is it ethical for QF to advertise sale fares with no seats available?

    Yes I did call Qantas and for a departure date of 1 August and returning on the 11th of August was offered a fare of $2686 or $2250. Interestingly adding a stopover in LAS reduced the fare to $2194. I understand that these sale fares generally have limited availability which is fine, but once...

    Qantas double SCs

    I got the offer as well, booked a JASA last week to Broome in June so will need to cancel and rebook. The fare condition states "QF any seat award conditions apply - change/refund QF only" so I'm assuming a QF flight is refundable?

    i'm also still waiting for points despite getting a letter from Onepath assuring me they would credit the points by the end of August. So glad I cancelled the policies, imagine trying to get them to pay a claim!

    Costco

    We have been members since Costco opened in Melbourne and shop there every couple of weeks. Have found their products to be consistently of a higher quality (their meat is excellent) and lower price compared to other stores. They get really busy on weekends so best to go weeknights. What I...

    Jetstar overcharged us for excess baggage - is it worth complaining?

    So just got back from a great Honolulu trip, flying up on Qantas business class and coming back on Jetstar starclass. Both flights were fine, was pleasantly surprised at the high standard of service on the Jetstar flight. However, have a problem with excess baggage charged by Jetstar. We...

    cruising hawaii

    We cruised around Hawaii on the Pride of Hawaii (a sister ship of Pride of America) back in 2007 and the cruise was fantastic. Would highly recommend eating at the ship's surcharge restaurants as for an extra $15 to $20 per dinner the meals were first class. The Hawaiian islands are...

    I used the TRUphone pre-paid sim card last year when i went to the US and it worked fine. The call charges are reasonable and it is easy to top up your credit online. Qantas are selling the TRUphone sim cards in their inflight duty free magazine and they are 20% cheaper.

    QF93 MEL-LAX on Friday 06 August

    I am on QF93 on Saturday 07 August and was wondering if someone could tell me how full the flight is in economy and whether 53J is blocked or allocated. I took the gamble of seating myself in 53K and my partner in 53H as neither of us wanted to sit in the middle, but it doesn't sound like there...
