    Helped needed - need to speak to a QF call centre in Oz to solve a routing problem!

    Had a similar experience trying to book reward flights MEL-SYD-NLK (Norfolk Island)-SYD-MEL. System unbelievably couldn't find availability on the final SYD-MEL leg even though a separate search for that leg found numerous flights. Cost me a few more points but I just booked the trip without...

    How easy is it to cancel a QF booking done on FF pts

    Qantas has advised that the first leg of a 2 leg partner reward flight has been cancelled and there are no alternative flights available. The remaining leg is not much use on it's own so can I cancel it without paying the 6000 point penalty?

    Credit Card Offers HSBC Star Alliance Credit Card: Fast-Track to Star Alliance Gold Status

    Achieved minimum spend a few days ago and received confirmation email today prompting me to select an SA member. I'm very likely to go for AC/Aeroplan due to the 50K points offer but curious to know if VA benefits for Aeroplan Gold members are the same as SA/UA. I've seen in a few places that...

    Qantas Classic Rewards on Malaysian Airlines - Still Unticketed

    Try the Qantas Twitter (or X) channel - @qantas. Slow to respond - sometimes 24 hours - but in my experience gets things done.

    Best way to get some points

    As a further aside had exactly the same experience recently - baggage included on WestJet flights in many separate screen locations EXCEPT on our eTickets! But was aware of the anomaly beforehand so went in with my eyes open. Has anyone challenged Qantas/WestJet to honour what the booking...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Well, believe it or not, I managed to get around 6 of the 10 flights in my recent OWA booked and ticketed via the Twitter channel - but I might just have been very lucky. One thing they do understand is the short timeframes for ticketing for flights on MH, QR and others and have always managed...

    Qantas Promises to Fix Ongoing Reward Flight Ticketing Failures

    Highly recommend next time you need to contact the call centre you try their Twitter/X channel first. Responses can take a while but in my experience they're very competent and able to get things done with minimal fuss. (I have a strong suspicion the Twitter/X channel is handled by HBA staff)

    Would QANTAS allow these as domestic carry on?

    Just to avoid taking an extra checked bag - but I think it's the "safest" option

    Would QANTAS allow these as domestic carry on?

    Odd question - looking to take some kitchenware (2 saucepans and a frying pan) on a flight to Cairns to replenish a holiday apartment. Wondering if these would be allowed in carry on luggage? Of course they aren't specifically identified as disallowed on the Qantas website but might be...

    I don't know the answer to most Qantas "security" questions!

    Was just going make the same comment- it’s not as if Qantas will verify you teacher’s name against some database. Why not use “Qantas” as your answer for all questions?

    OneWorld lounge in Lima

    Recently completed our OWA - all in J - which included a stopover in LIM. Flew in with Iberia and out with AA. When we fronted at the Sumaq Lounge prior to departure - which is listed on the OneWorld website as the relevant lounge - we were turned away because "the contract with American...

    AFF Review: Jetstar 787-8 Business Class (SYD-ICN)

    Back when things were getting back to normal after COVID we managed to score a couple of these seats on a domestic flight from Melbourne to Cairns. And all we had to pay over our economy fare was the extra leg room supplement. Bargain! Of course none of the soft offerings were included.

    Cash or Card? Countries where you still need cash.

    Recently back from USA and encountered these machines a few times. Made a it of a blunder when I was presented with buttons on the screen for 18%, 20% and 22% as well as a Custom button. Deciding 10% was more appropriate I selected Custom and typed in 10 then OK. Only later when I looked at...

    QF classic reward on Fiji Airways not ticketed

    I'd try Twitter - waiting time is a bit of a lottery and can rival the call centre but the team seem to at least know what they're doing.
