That happens regularly in the Middle East having seen it many times over decades of working there. Geasers are up and walking to the exit doors as the plane is landing (because they are special) and the FAs do not generally try to stop them because it can cause offence challenging a local.

I have rented cars globally over decades and never had a problem. Been lucky in Australia as well. On many of the cars I've rented in Aus. damage has been recorded and the poor sucker who had caused that damage will have been 'had' by the car rental mob who just take the money but do not repair...

As outlined by Glennmcd1, Qantas specifically, encourages one to accumulate points via flying, credit card offers, health insurance offers, car insurance, et al, and then puts hurdles in your way when trying to use them. They come up with other ways to cash the points in, which are never in...

Correct. HE didn't like Mondays!

Agreed. The crew need to have a laminated A4 page ready to drop in front of the offender which clearly states that they must refrain from the selfish/bad behaviour, or they will be arrested on arrival at the destination. Many years ago brother was the FSD on a Virgin Atlantic flight. One of...

Qantas are offering FF Points on just about everything out there. We pay for something, get the points they are constantly pushing and they have a win, which is why the QF FF Programme is making so much money. So, we are not given the points gratis, we are buying the points. Therefore, if we...

I stayed at both the Brisbane and Adelaide Hiltons withing the past 3 weeks. Both very good, particularly the Adelaide Hilton. Very pleased with the accommodation, help and breakfasts. Following my 2 days at the Adelaide Hilton I spent a week in the Stamford Glenelg which apart from the...

Having not heard of Batick Air before flying with them, I was wondering if I had made the right choice. They were terrific!. Very clean and tidy, plenty of room, something to eat and some inflight entertainment. They leave Jetstar in the shade.

That Trumps all the other comments!!!!!

Not everyone is blessed with the same bladder control. When you get to your 70s, 80s and beyond, when you gotta go, you gotta go. Your turn will come! One can not always plan ahead and when the aisle is blocked some consideration to the older generation, which appears to be lacking these...

Clearly still a number of compensation issues for flights. Having spent thousands on flights and travel myself over several months, on return Aus my suitcase was badly damaged. QF brushed my claim aside. I wonder if QF will get round to compensating for damage and complying with their...

A great article from the AFF Editor. A little slow on my response and without reading all the replies, I have just ended my 30+ year loyalty with QF. I am still waiting for some courtesy and a response to my request for a suitcase repair that QF managed to render useless 3 months ago after...

A question that I am sure has been raised earlier in this forum, what about the poor old folk, among others, that do not possess a smart phone, computer or even an email address. No more travel for them I suppose? As for AJ, he won't have booked a flight for himself for years.

Where do you get that stastic from? As pointed out a few times in this thread, what about the older folks who do not have smart phones or a computer? They have done so much for the country over the decades and now leaving them behind in the digital world is unacceptable. While AJ was puffing...

Without having read the many comments above, I have just completed a QF survey with a focus on changing the names of Classic Rewards and Points + Pay tickets. Regardless of your status level, waiting on the phone for hours is completely unacceptable for everyone and rather than spend company...

A continuing story about how bad QF is with regard to the attitude towards their customers. Long wait times on the phone hearing the same message for the past decade, poorly trained customer service people overseas, J class standards when compared to Virgin and so on. The CEO never has to do...

Some interesting stories. I spent several hours researching some flights from Oz to Europe this past two weeks. Few seats in both directions as one might expect, even for the return flights in September. However, I got there in the end and pressed the book button.....ERROR. As you will know...

Yup, seems like a good idea. However, you will most probably find that for 9 our of 10 surveys you will not qualify. I got tired of receiving the surveys and not being who they wanted to complete them. That suggested they don't need honest answers.

Absolutely correct. I too am sick of hearing the same message that they trot out 'everytime' I call and they always have an excuse as to why. AJ is using the pandemic to get rid of as many staff as possible, forcing customers onto the self service machines and in the direction of Travel...

Being a Female makes all the difference and explains a great deal.
