    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    That is required so that the hackers can cross-match this data in a future leak from an outsourced call centre with the data leaked in this one.

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    If QF want to support live music at SYD, they should get the acts to play in the space which used to house the Qantas Heritage Collection and has been unused for half a decade and add a buffet with some drinks.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Let us know if you get any response. The dedicated phone line seems like nothing more than an outsourced crisis management centre who have a script of things they can follow, or as in my case, offer to have someone follow up via email. I'm not expecting much, given the hypocrisy of them...

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    Personally I'd enjoy a DJ dropping house beats, others may prefer a heavy metal band, operatic renditions or a country music hoedown. But whatever personal music preferences are, that is not what a lounge is for. Just like someones personal calls or viewing in public places should be done...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I have just called the customer support line they provided in the email. Irony of ironies, it appears to be outsourced, this time to Britain, and of course they had to ask for my details (apparently they hadn't purchased them from the hacker yet). I asked whether Qantas will be indemnifying...

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    The audacity of the email, informing us amongst other things: Visit IDCARE's Learning Centre and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website for further information and resources on protecting personal information; and Do not provide your online account passwords, or any...

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    I just had to do a search for Shari Ng thinking she might be a designer of particularly uncomfortable seating, to realise you probably meant "sharing" seats!

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    Another one with full details leaked except meal preference, only because their system doesn't enable "contains bacon". Not happy is an understatement.

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    This must be QF's new modus operandi. First, non-consensual release of personal data to unauthorised third parties. Now non-consensual live music when trying to "relax and unwind" before your flight. What's next?

    Article: Live Music in the Qantas Club

    I had to check the date to make sure this wasn't an April Fools Joke. Seems like it's real, and perhaps a subversive way for QF Lounge management to address lounge overcrowding at peak times. At any rate, thanks to Matt for this public service announcement, I now know to avoid travelling at...

    LATAM Airlines will resume non-stop Sydney-Santiago flights

    If you are lucky they will be at the same price. But whenever I look, the LA fares are 20-25% cheaper, personally the QF SC and Pesos aren't worth the difference.

    LATAM Airlines will resume non-stop Sydney-Santiago flights

    I credit to DL - LA flights count towards both annual status and Million Miler accumulation. I think the same works for Virgin Atlantic Flying Club and AFKL Flying Blue (at least status wise)

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    A quick way to know that this didn't come from Qantas is that it was missing the usual "Hurry! Act now to take advantage of this amazing offer" hyperbole Qantas use to create a false sense of urgency around their marketing campaigns.

    QANTAS Cyber Incident

    I'm upset that my personal details are floating around outsourced call centres but I supposed that's the world we live in.

    Article: Qantas Devalues Points Plus Pay & Hotel Redemptions

    My earning of QFFP excluding credits cards is already at the rate which exceeds my ability to find relevant Classic rewards or get successful upgrades - and I'm Platinum. It makes less financial sense to add to the pile with credit card spend when you can get a better return elsewhere.

    Article: Qantas Devalues Points Plus Pay & Hotel Redemptions

    That means it makes more sense to pay for things under $100 with a 2% cashback HSBC Everyday Global card than on a 'rewarding' Qantas earning card for effectively 0.5-1.5%. More reason to let the airline drive your loyalty, rather than your loyalty drive the airline...

    What's your golden travel rule?

    If it's personal travel, stay at a decent non-chain hotel. Turning up at a Hilton or Marriott makes it feel like a business trip. Because even if you make it, there's a good chance your luggage won't! Except on golden triangle routes, I always take the last BNE-SYD because there's usually a...
