It's not just international flights, my upcoming domestic fares within Australia are about double what I paid pre-pandemic.

That's terrifying to watch as someone who is about to check a bag to Melbourne. I think I might see if I can squeeze it all into carry-on instead. One of the bags is even thrown so hard it misses the belt and falls over the edge on the other side around 0:40.

True but it's 10 SC and 800 points? I'm not too worried about missing out on those! Anyway I worked out with the change fee and the surcharge to book a JQ fare through QF, if I really wanted to do this it's actually cheaper just to buy a brand new ticket on JQ and throwaway my QF booking...

Agree. I travel in the US a lot on AA and never had an issue with cabin bags. However it may happen to the lower (or do we say higher?) boarding groups.

Yes was to change to same flight as my niece and nephew but I think we will just travel separately, it's not worth the additional cost and all the issues you mention. Have also realised that there would be no lounge access since it's a different terminal.

I have a Qantas Melbourne to Sydney flight that I want to change to a Jetstar option on the same day. This flight is available to book through Qantas when making a new flight booking, but not shown as an option when changing my existing Qantas flight online. So not possible online, but does...

Not at all, I'd been looking at that that specific date/time multiple times for several days (comparing a few different airlines and options) before going through to buy. It's about a month in advance, early January. Reading between the lines, would the system increase the price as the date...

Why do we accept this as ok and normal in this country? In other parts of the world when an airline cancels a flight at short notice you would be entitled to a free rebooking, on another airline if necessary, any reasonable expenses covered, plus additional compensation from the airline.

So it was $181 - 7 left at this price, then minutes later it's $243 - 6 left at this price. Seems our interpretation of "at this price" is very different. No email from Jetstar came unfortunately. Looks like I've got no choice but to pay the increased price... The only positive, it's still...

Hello, first time flying Jetstar in a very long time, I have just tried to make a Sydney-Melbourne booking which was $181 (before Plus bundle) and allegedly "7 left at this price". Went through to pay and chose PayPal because it was lower fee than using my credit card directly, but PayPal...

Surprised they didn't claim this was IT error and quietly change it, instead their statement doubles down that they're intentionally inflating the price for people who are rebooking from credit vouchers? Edit: Are other airlines doing this as well? A quick check of BA's policy suggests not -...

My preference (pre-covid) was QF via SIN to LHR and into the AA arrivals lounge in T3 for a shower and breakfast before heading into London. Sadly Qantas ended that contract in early 2020 and QF passengers no longer get access to the arrivals lounge. On the return to Australia I'd normally...

For flyers from the east coast I never quite understood the appeal of Perth as a stopover, unless you wanted to avoid transiting another country? DRW actually seems favourable to PER in terms of time/distance but the schedule is not much fun - QF1 lands at LHR around 4:30am (and Qantas no longer...

My upgrade came through this morning - thanks everyone!

Success for QF11 SYD-LAX on 6/08/2019, PE to Business, SMS at about T-27 hours. Edit: Concerning though my points balance has been decreased by about 66,000 points when it should be 49,500 points, and the upgrade transaction does not appear on the activity statement.

Thanks both! Interesting that F looks pretty full, so I guess there won't be any last minute J to F upgrades that help free up J seats. I made the upgrade request a few weeks ago (immediately after booking), so fingers crossed.

Could I please get the loadings for QF 11 SYD-LAX on 6/08 next week? And for bonus points, any opinion from the brains trust of chances for upgrade to J from PE Sale. Thanks! (Edit: despite having an upgrade request pending, Qantas just sent me an email to pre-select meals in PE for the...

From Friday 9 November more altitude points will be required to convert to airline programs except for Airpoints. Westpac Altitude Rewards - Changes

First time flying to the US with Air NZ (from Sydney with the Auckland stopover). I selected 3A when I booked a few weeks ago, but when I checked in I'd been moved to 7J - next to the toilets and galley. Not a great spot and didn't get much rest. I asked about it in the lounge - they told me...

Qantas booking website says QF133 BNE-CHC and QF134 CHC-BNE earns 0 SC. That has to be an error with the site right?
