Once again, acknowledged, a safe outcome for all travelers is expected. That outcome requires support from both the passengers and the airline. As noted by RooFlyer that adverse outcome (child seated without parents) can occur due to multiple reasons. My approach is that and that the first...

Acknowledged (it will need fixing by the airline) and also noting that safety is multi-layered. Firstly, parents need to take primary accountability for the safety of their children. We choose which airline to fly on and we choose what we will pay for to ensure the health and wellbeing of...

I agree, some weighted metrics would be good to get an appreciation of the why as well. For me airport must have both a domestic and international terminal, have airline lounges in both international and domestic terminals (after security), all terminals should be contiguous and/or with an...

No winners here on a LCC. If there was auto allocation of seats for free, for groups, this this will need to be done early (on heavily booked routes) before singles choose their preferred seat and create a scattered collage of booked seats and blocking out the space for groups. If this is done...

Agree open to one class "business" open to all "lounge members", VA could price "business" for 3rd party lounge access, but I think would force an unnecessary price increase to their domestic lounge members..... as an aside, from my fading memory, the original Domestic Qantas Club's did not...

Very interested in this also, but a few more data points for me, before I drop all caution. My residual concern is being charged retrospectively by Priority Pass, when they reconcile how many visits where undertaken i.e Priority Pass charging the Citi Credit Card for the extra visits like they...

Interesting to hear of the research in 1995……. I would love to see some research undertaken over this forum and the wealth of experiences and challenges the Australian Frequent Flyer Community has been through over the years Including the rise and fall of the Ansett program. I have recollections...

With only half a dozen flights and only 8 x J seats, not sure that they are at a scale to open international lounges. I think the international lounges will arrive when bigger aircraft do....... not until they are trading on the stock market again is my prediction.

I jumped on another iOS device, hotels all showing up. Updated to latest (3.96.0), still hotels showing up.

Interesting….. all my hotel bookings appear in my IOS App (Version 3.95.0 Build 327). All are mainstream hotels, both domestic and international.

To my extended family at our Australian Frequent Flyer Community, I have the following referral for the American Express® Platinum Card: You will receive 225,000 Membership Rewards points (usually 150,000) if you apply for the American Express® Platinum Card, are approved and spend $5,000 in...

How is everyone with their Nov 2022 status credit posting……. 24th of Dec, still no posting for Nov…….. are they planning a Xmas present?

A bit of a late discovery for me, but after my son chose to get a physical SIM and his points posted with the alignment of the signup date plus a few days, but the bill is aligned with your activation date, so with the delay in receiving the sim, he has managed to get points posted before the...

I always book the cruise first at least 18 months or more out and look at booking fully refundable if I can (so you can cancel and re-book once you get your flights confirmed and you find better cruise price deal). Once initial cruise booked, I just setup reminders in my calendar at to look for...

Not a lost cause, just as you state a newbie…… my recommendation, start small, go local, try somewhere new like Norfolk Island and build you confidence slowly…… next pick an international destination with reasonable availability (eg Singapore) and come up with your holiday based on the flight...

To find out more details on airline service, you can go to that airlines website (Jetstar) and make a dummy booking for the same flight and read what it says. JQ7 states for its business class; Meals, drinks and snacks on request For more details on what that is, you will find a menu on the...

Just noticed this thread, so I am out of step with the current conversation, but with respect to the topic of how to handle a cancelled award ticket, the approach below worked for me when I had two J award tickets issued by Singapore Air to fly Vancouver to Melbourne on Air Canada: I submitted...

I haven't got any yet, but my read was we need to get the VISA Activ Variable Online Shopping ...... and reading the VISA Active site, it says if you have trouble using their card with an online store, link it to PayPal and purchase using paypal...... so a new card for me, but I was going to...

I like RACQ as it offers cover for financial default, TID does not appear to……… but on the flip side TID appears to have great COVID cover for cancellation of trip due to not being able to travel because you are diagnosed with COVID.

I identified it was my passport and proactively jumped in straight away and got it replaced…… rather than just replacement cost, I went for a new 10 year and paid for express delivery…… got a new passport a week later……. Then spent numerous chats on Optus to get them to refund all costs……. Bit...
