Not really, we're talking about Qantas here and the Qantas upgrade on the Qantas leg. If Qantas' flight leaves on time, but you're not there due to some other carrier's delay, that's not a Qantas IROPS (one R) situation. This term is specific industry jargon and by using it you imply you know...

Are there circumstances in which it won't spit out that paper and tells you to go to a manned entry desk instead? Like, what happens if you answer that you've been in Africa (not ZA) or PNG in the last 6 days or whatever? I could see the argument that the slip of paper indicates you've...

I also suggest Humayun's Tomb - the inspiration/predecessor for the Taj Mahal. I also recommend getting your hotel to supply you a car and driver - will be more way more comfortable than Uber or similar, and while much more expensive it should still be affordable in AUD. Since you arrive...

Could be the J cabin is oversold, it's rare but it does happen (could be a pilot on duty travel assigned to the cabin, etc). Likely will sort itself out before check-in closes, if you still don't have a seat check with the gate agent.

Bit late to comment, but thought I'd add our experience on the Bernina Express. We went last May, and I can recommend just buying a standard ticket, but perhaps first class if you want to treat yourself. We had the first class section of about 20 seats shared between us and one other couple...

In Germany, you can book special assistance (similar to what you might have experienced on airlines), which is called Mobilitätsservice . If using a travel agent, be sure to request they add this onto your booking, otherwise you'll need to contact DB 24 hours in advance to be sure it's booked...

Three hours is the earliest you can check-in, I find when I arrive that early I'm just in a huge queue. Arriving 2 hours before departure is more the sweet spot. Melbourne doesn't have long immigration or security queues to worry about most times. The earliest Skybus arrival at ~4:30am...

Used the route 20 bus in Rockhampton from Rosslyn Bay to the airport recently. Not so frequent a service and doesn't work for morning departures, but I was able to get a service arriving at 11.57am (running on time) for my departure on QF 1985 at 1:15pm. The 50-cent fares definitely seem to...

Usually check-in still opens 3 hrs prior to the scheduled departure time, but this can be different if the text message says the flight is "rescheduled" rather than delayed - pay attention to their use of that term.

Which airport are you talking about? Security is AFTER immigration at SYD international departures, and there is a separate check for priority security after immigration, regardless of which immigration lane you went through. Is this a different order in other airports (legitimate question).

It depends on the nuances of the specific contract. A merchant as big as Qantas would have bespoke contracts with several acquirers most likely. In many cases, the interchange fees paid to the scheme are refundable, but not the assessment/network fees and whatever markup the...

Envoy Air is a contract operator for American Airlines/American Eagle in the same way that Eastern Australia Airlines, National Jet Systems, etc are contract operators for Qantas/QantasLink . The operator information is provided for legal compliance but otherwise has no impact on you, as...

There's no need to "see" - it has been made very clear to you there is one, and only one, correct answer which is that the flights are treated as an international-to-international connection, using transit security in SYD and baggage fully checked through ( to be collected and customs entry at...

It's likely that you're a regular enough user that you open the app frequently and it synchronises with the cloud data (i.e. the fact that the flight is cancelled), and then cancels the scheduled notification before it has a chance to be delivered. Absent a bug (which as you note could be...

Just a minor point that you definitely can receive notifications when disconnected from the Internet (or app logged out or other problems). The way this works is, the app schedules the notification in the phone's operating system. They remain there , queued, until the scheduled time. In the...

Lifetime Platinum on Qantas is likely considerably similar or higher, if you can average $20/SC regularly that would be about AUD $1.5M. But I suspect the kind of regular premium flyers that have a chance at LTP would be spending more than this, per SC, so actual cost of LTP is likely to be...

To answer this question, it's just that those airlines use the same booking software backend as Qantas, a global system called Amadeus. As a result, you can pull up Qantas PNR's (booking references) on those sites, even if you're not flying on their airline at all. For reasons unknown, Qantas...

That's not an Australia Post issue. It just means that the shipper has started the process of fulfilling the order, and has uploaded the barcode into the system, but they haven't actually handed it over to Australia Post (and probably haven't actually packed the item yet). The tracker will say...

On balance, it's not a newsworthy event most likely. There are numerous innocuous warnings or minor failures that might result in such a turnback out of an abundance of caution. This, coupled with the fact that returning to a major base (instead of continuing to an outstation), is much more...

Sorry, but realistically none of those concerns are any different whether you leave at 6:20am or 6:55am, and you did book the original flight at 6:55 am (I assume?) so I don't think your argument is that strong (I'm assuming this flight gets into LHR about 1.5 hours later so plenty of time to...
