Nice lamb on a 8pm MEL-SYD. The Collins MiQ seats on the ex-GOL aircraft aren't bad either.

SYD-MEL breakfast frittata. Quite underwhelming to be honest (the only other choice ran out before it go to me).

Well, it's not really coming up short because it's not possible to get those 13,125 points in the first place until someone runs one flight number from Brisbane to Western Europe. I agree it's weird that they don't line up though.

Another tip is to look into booking Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen tickets early using Smart-EX to get their various discount products. My favourite is the Hayatoku-Green 3 Wide, which lets you book a Green Car incl. Nozomi for a good discount (near that of a regular ordinary car) 3 days or more in...

I think the move to random releases vs. fixed 3xx days out does actually make it easier for newcomers and worse for those more experienced as it's now an even playing ground - you can't plan for the release, and also the benefit for Gold and Silver members having early access is eroded. The only...

I think people would still complain even if they released this information :) To be honest, I suspect it's more than likely the amount of long-haul business seats being released hasn't decreased. It's the growth in QFF members, and probably just as importantly, more and more people being into...

I think the gates in Japan don't actually deny you if you're in the wrong group (often boarded with friends on seperate tickets, expecting them to be declined, but it's fine). They just make a different noise for each status tier. I think there's like 2 different noises for JAL and 3 for ANA.

Wrong thread? moved here

Also to OP: I'm genuinely surprised you got any refund at all! If your original booking was a return ticket, I would've expected re-pricing the 3 flown flights as one-way would've exceeded the cost you paid for your ticket, thus resulting in no refund.

Would it be too much to expect someone working at an airline call centre to realise that a 90% refund for a ¾ flown ticket might be an error, and to double check with their supervisor etc. before giving the customer potentially wrong information? Evidently yes, at least at Qantas/Mindpearl

Did you mean Velocity Points? I don't think you can book Polaris with Qantas Points.

One of the reasons I use the Ubigi eSIM is that it doesn't show as roaming, unlike some of the other cheaper eSIM options.

That's to put in an upgrade request, which doesn't necessarily require business reward space. Rebooking into a business reward seat is different. Yeah, generally you can do it online

Yes, this is correct. 5000 pts per passenger Nope, that's fine

Just like the no-show penalty, the fee only applies against the value of the ticket if you want to re-book or refund whatever remains of the ticket

That works for regular Qantas Club (it just counts as a renewal), so I assume it does for PC+ too

I assume you're not Platinum 1 anymore as noted in your profile then :P. Do you do enough domestic flying on one visit to make that worthwhile?

Even on most Android devices I understand that the VoWiFi bypasses any system VPN settings. Also I think some commercial VPN services won't tunnel the IPSec WiFi calling traffic correctly.

Just use Telstra WiFi calling? Also, the roaming plan is not required to receive SMS. As noted earlier, you should also be able to "WiFi" call through your other SIM's data connection, although this is annoying to setup on iOS.

I wonder if the QFF credit cards that currently give a discount and/or joining fee waiver (e.g. ANZ FF Black) will be updated to give discounts on the monthly scheme
