    Booking engine problems for Oneworld Award (Business)?

    All I get from the BA site is Select seats for 98.60 AUD each Flight duration 11hrs 35mins There is only one booking code, QF and BA recognise it, and CX doesn't as usual but I'll sort it out.

    Booking engine problems for Oneworld Award (Business)?

    Thanks to the above posters. I just kept plugging away at it today with dozens of attempted bookings but finally managed to get exactly what I wanted. I was after a couple of stopovers which was easier than attempting to book direct to CDG. I was pleased with myself until I tried to reserve...

    Booking engine problems for Oneworld Award (Business)?

    With regard to my above post. I'm still trying to book a QF classic award ticket to CDG. Booking non stop show nothing available for the next 6 months, but a stop over in both directions shows reasonably good availability. I click on the J seat icon where is shows availability, begin choosing...

    Why I love Qantas

    Preparing for takeoff and the FA is having a bad day and letting you know about it! Sheesh and how many hours to go??? Pfft! You may enjoy being the recipient of what comes from a rude QF FA but I don't.

    Red Roo, Where are you?

    I'm betting either on strike or got the VA status match and moved on.

    Why I love Qantas

    I'm afraid that attitude and language would not endear me to QF or any other business. Exactly the opposite. A simple question with that reply to most people would be unacceptable to the vast majority of travellers. It's an airline with paying passengers, not a D grade football team. In fact...

    There's a place in Melbourne called Collingwood.

    So, Have you made the switch?

    Have made the switch, although new status took a long time to happen. If VA had their act together I would have booked more flights both domestic and international with them, but Qf gold still gave me certainty of lounge access and increased luggage. Currently trying to burn QF points which...

    Booking engine problems for Oneworld Award (Business)?

    For the last week I have been trying to book a J award trip BNE-CDG. I'm quite flexible with dates and have found plenty of availability shown on the site. Each flight EX Australia involves a flight via SYD, MEL, or even ADL. It doesn't worry me at all. When I check availability, there's...

    Meals now included in Jetstar Asia Plus and Max bundles

    I also booked SIN-BKK just last week and included the bundle. Good value and am glad I included it.

    Tourist Refund Scheme

    Yep I was told the same thing, both on the website and calling. I was quite prepared to do this to save a few hundred bucks on a new MacBook. On exit ex SYD, 10% of the purchase price was refunded to my credit card. On arrival I had my purchase along with tax invoice and declaration card and...

    According to this Advice for travellers However... It was looking good for you until the cabin-sized hand luggage restriction condition.

    Velocity Frequent Flyer Status Match Promotion - Closed 30 Sep 11

    After a month of waiting, some phone calls, emails, PMs, resubmitting application, I've struck Gold. I now have two new drink coasters in the shape of QF RFID tags.

    Velocity Frequent Flyer Status Match Promotion - Closed 30 Sep 11

    It's just not happening. Same with response to customer enquiry via any method. I suspect it's an omen on what can be expected. I was really looking for an alternative to QF.

    Velocity Frequent Flyer Status Match Promotion - Closed 30 Sep 11

    I'm a 25th August vintage myself. Am thinking stuff them. VA is either disorganised or disorganised and even worse disorganised. Lots of travel planned. Disappointed that lack of communication. Will spend money elsewhere. VA rep please check your messages.

    Velocity Frequent Flyer Status Match Promotion - Closed 30 Sep 11

    I applied early with documentation, heard nothing, phoned VA last week and told to wait, emailed VA with no response, contacted VA rep here last week and have heard nothing. I thought they were looking for new business.

    ??? France for ANZAC Day next year

    There's very little accommodation in Villers-Bretonneux, but Amiens is not too far. 10 minutes by rail followed by a lengthy walk to the War Memorial. I doubt there will be rail access early in the morning, so perhaps a car hire could work out. Some info here. anzac / 2012 Australian...

    Annoying things that people do when travelling

    Recliners. Armrest hoggers. Especially the ones who should have booked two seats. Newspaper readers, especially of the newscorp variety. Surely there's enough time to read it while waiting for the flight. There's nothing in there anyway. Overhead luggage freaks who take forever thus...
