I contacted Optus chat to ask if I could switch to that $79 Qantas plan instead of them moving me to the $49 Optus Choice Plan. Thought that would be easy - I'm offering to pay $30 more each month! They said no, and also tried to suggest that people on this Qantas plan are being moved to "Optus...

Restricted to new services only, you need to get a new number if you're already with Optus!!! Do you think they'd make an exception for us because this is now the closest new plan they offer to the plan they're kicking us off? Though I'm honestly wanting to leave Optus forever now, and will...

Why would I continue to pay Optus $50 a month for something I don't need or use. I don't need 2 Aussie numbers or plans. Optus is $50 per month, which I still pay while I'm overseas and not using it. Until now it included roaming, but from May they want +$5 per day for what's been included at...

Thanks very much for this, I hadn't heard of Felix before but it seems to fit exactly what I'm looking for. I'll probably just port my number over to them instead of getting a bunch of travel eSIMs!

Any recommendations for longer-term multi-country roaming eSIM for someone who travels overseas several times a year, sometimes for up to 6 weeks at a time, spending 90+ days out of the country each year? Or can I have multiple eSIMs and swap which one is being used as I travel between...

Almost! My bill randomly changed to $42.50 about a year ago with no explanation, but I never bothered asking Optus about it. Hope they're not downgrading my plan because of the discount? I'd happily pay more to stay on it - even $80 a month would still work out better than the new plan they're...

4 May for mine as well. The email I got is quite insulting, pretending it's an upgrade, thanking me for my loyalty, and saying this new plan I'm being forced on to is better value than the current one I'm on, which is obviously completely untrue. Then in small print down the bottom it says...

Looks like it's gone now. Optus emailed me today to say they're changing my plan to remove all included roaming data, starting in May. Looking for alternatives ASAP, I fly to the US/Canada for month in about 2 weeks.

Also got the email from Optus saying they're forcing me onto a new plan without any roaming data included. And of course they're doing it right in the middle of my upcoming US trip. Any suggestions of where to go now for plans with included roaming?

Interesting and very unusual to divert to CNS, usually goes to BNE if there are strong headwinds and it can't make it to SYD, and in the past Fiji or other Pacific Islands. This evening's QF7 SYD-DFW was cancelled, and tomorrow's QF8 now also cancelled.

Does anyone know why QF8 DFW-SYD has diverted to land in Cairns this morning?

One of my work colleagues took his wife and kids SIM cards out of their phones for a holiday because they apparently couldn't be trusted to resist the urge to turn on data roaming to check social media!

Yeah I was just looking at mine with Optus and it's a Zone 5 country, so I wouldn't want to enable roaming there!

That sounds fairly unprofessional. On 2 of my flights recently they had a PA announcement that everyone is required to be kind to the crew and treat them with respect. I understand where they're coming from but the way it was delivered was like we were a plane full of naughty schoolchildren.

Can the credit voucher be used by a family member or does it get locked to the name of the original ticket holder?

A rescue service VH-OQD is now departing Sydney to Baku https://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA6025

I don't know the entry rules for Azerbaijan, but many years ago on a diversion into mainland China due to weather at HKG, we were stuck on the ground there for 8 hours and not permitted to disembark the aircraft.

Medical emergency? Apparently scheduled to take off again for London in 20 minutes, so a very quick stop.

Thanks, I'll put a claim in now for mine then. Bit annoying they can't make this work automatically and we have to manually request it.

Did yours come through? I flew JQ on a Starter Plus bundle about 3 weeks ago now, similar time to you, and the flight still hasn't come into my QFF account. The Qantas website says wait 14 days for partner airlines, so if it's been longer now do I need to make a missing points claim?
