    Dear Mr Joyce...

    Just another one. During an industrial dispute whereby QF was offering very little in return, I had to suffer the tirades of two FAs on the bus from the international terminal to the domestic terminal about their pay and conditions. While extremely sympathetic to their claims the lazy morons...

    Dear Mr Joyce...

    As i said earlier, the AFF board's comments have certainly made a turnaround since last time I visited a few years ago. I decided to return rarely and it's probably why I found other places to visit on the net. To criticise QF was seen as an act of treason and treated accordingly. So...

    Dear Mr Joyce...

    Although a newish member of AFF I have been a reader for some time over the years. I can remember a time not so long ago if someone had negative things to say about QF's product there would be a number of posts coming from left right and centre down hard on the poster who had gripes based on...

    QF Feedback

    Along with others who have posted 1. Very normal and standard practice. 2. It's cough because QF have been getting away with diminishing customer service for some time and they think it will get a customer off their back. Hah! 3. Feedback? Nup. They only are looking for the warm and...

    Qantas cuts jet orders,capital expenditure

    Which asks the question why were these ordered anyway without being cancelled or postponed much earlier? Jet* was going to receive the first of the newer planes anyway. The downturn is nothing new, in fact about three years old now. The current QF share price is around $1.88 from $3.83 in...

    a-club - anyone having issues with getting points allocated? I'm about to give up

    Try it and let us know how it went. With Accor I mean.

    Jetstar's foreign cabin crew paid less

    Perhaps Jet* should consider employing a foreign CEO who would work much cheaper and save the airline millions. That system can work both ways. Akk they tried that and now he's the CEO of Qantas.

    a-club - anyone having issues with getting points allocated? I'm about to give up

    Hey thanks for the reminder. A-Club had a promo a year or two ago. I was already a member but used another email address to sign up and gain an extra 2000 points for 'joining'. I checked my account and found 1200 points sitting there. Lots of holes where hotels didn't add points but Accor...

    What does the Qantas brand mean to you?

    Good question. I was once a flyer who would only fly QF. Now it means nothing to me. Flying QF means paying a premium price for indifferent service which can be disappointing and very hit and miss, ageing aircraft, annual enhancements to frequent flyers schemes which most flyers dread...

    QF Joyce: expect higher fares, A380 delivery delays, QF32 damage bill at AUD100m

    It's like he's making excuses for the appalling share prices and I bet his annual income from QF is still quite desirable. I wouldn't mind it anyway. It's like the excuses that are being made ahead of a shareholders' meeting and during enterprise bargaining for staff.

    Anyone ever flown Finnair? SIN-CDG

    Have flown Finnar from a number of Asian ports after connecting with QF or CX. To be honest I've forgotten how many times but their J class product is extremely good if you get a good price. Never had a bad experience. A transit in HEL is extremely pleasant. The airport is easy to navigate...

    We'd like to know what you think...

    Hi and thanks very much for your input. This is what makes the AFF forum worthwhile and mostly a pleasure to read with helpful and civil responses based on research and personal experiences and the time you took to reply is appreciated. While collecting FF points is a desirable aspect of...

    Malaysia Airlines to join Oneworld alliance

    I have to say this is the best news I've had all day, excluding my picking up my new iMac also today. :p I have been weaning myself off QF over the last year due to issues with disappointing service problems I've experienced and price. To be honest I don't really miss QF much at all. I'll...

    We'd like to know what you think...

    I started the "survey" and gave up as it seemed to be pointing to obtaining a new card. You indicated that you have a credit card linked to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program. Qantas Frequent Flyer is interested in learning more about your experiences with your credit card linked to...

    Finnair Sale(s)

    AY now codeshare with QF to SIN. But from past experience you can fly CX to HKG or QF to a number of ports in Asia. Not sure what their Y class is like but J class is very comfortable and good value when on sale.

    Mixed messages from QF website - can I cancel an Any Seat Award Flight or not?

    I just unfortunately had to cancel a JASA trip. I called and was told it would cost 5000 points. The points were back in my account the next day and my credit card was refunded about 3 days later.

    Impressed by Malaysian Airlines

    I've flown MH in J on overseas flights and loved it. I booked a few Y class flights within Malaysia for nothing. Overweight luggage no problem on either class. I was given an exit row every time in Y. Even on a short flight from PEN to KUL you get a good meal with friendly attentive staff...

    CSB diamond credit cards

    Hi Max and a big thanks for the time and effort in your reply. I've been thinking about it all trying to sort it out all day. I have to say that over the years the bank has been extremely good to me. Whenever I ask for an investment loan there's no problem and they discount lending rates...

    Commonwealth Diamond

    I was emailed with the offer including the fee. It turned me off. After a one minute chat with my bank liaison guy he waived the fees and will add it as part of my wealthpackage.
