Feels to me like a 1500 flight whilst leaving Melbourne CBD at 1340 also runs the gauntlet of a traffic incident on the Tullamarine Freeway ruining your day. Especially if you have checked luggage. Again, if it all goes smoothly, there's no issues at all.

For me, four hours is not enough in this situation (although others may be more risk tolerant than me). This is an outbound flight. If you miss your connection, your whole ticket is forfeit, not just the first leg. On an unprotected connection, this is effectively a no show. I'm more...

Have DM’d you

Fascinating that the review found that there was a “top down” culture at Qantas that meant other leaders felt they couldn’t “speak up” to challenge Joyce over controversial decisions. And yet, they've promoted one of those leaders who couldn't speak up to Joyce to be the new CEO. Pretty...

Whilst true, mixed payments including a credit card contribution from non-Australian jurisdiction, well above their risk threshold, in an industry highly exposed to both fraud and money laundering, and you take what you get. In comparison no one will bat an eyelid if you book two F tickets to...

Well yes. But the second hand car market is a known fraud target. The insurer is likely to want to have the dealer with skin in the game and will most likely cap any claim. Based on what went down with the OP, I'm guessing they would have coverage up to $3k.

If the card is fraudulent, neither of these things prevent a loss to the dealer.

1. Unusual combination of payment methods for a second hand car. On its own, not a deal breaker but... 2. Foreign card, meaning if transaction disputed (as is regularly the case in fraud events), then seller has to deal with foreign jurisdiction for dispute. 3. Mix of payments through...

Hardly foolish at all. Whilst Tiki's intention may have been legit, there's a lot of red flags in that request when it comes to potential fraud. I wouldn't allow that transaction either.

From Adelaide? ;)

That shade of fabric ain't gonna remain that shade of fabric for particularly long. Just sayin'...

Mistakes do happen in both directions. But are you suggesting that you'd snap up a $250,000 F Fare that would normally be priced at $15,000? That might be the reason you don't hear about the converse scenario.

And without something like AFF, many here wouldn't be travelling at the pointy end of the plane anywhere near as often. Should that go too?

You say this, yet you "Liked" the post immediately above yours...

I feel like some of the posts in this thread have gone beyond disagreement to direct personal attacks on Matt's integrity. That's not fair game and pretty poor form.

Am deep in planning for next year's trip to Scotland and the north of England and that's where my head is at. I read the thread title and thought, "Gee, that's quite bespoke. Unlikely to be much demand". I then realised my mistake and consequently thought to myself, "Gee, that's quite...

The question @Mattg actually posed was "But is that a correct way of looking at it?" when he was presented with examples that reflected data cost and opportunity cost. If you're going to retreat only to Matt's definition, then the answer to Matt's question is trivial. FWIW, I think there is a...

Is your answer still the same?!?

I'm not. It's my job and I know how this stuff works. You're on the outside guessing at what that relationship looks like. It's true that they need not be. But they are - at least with every loyalty program I've ever been associated with. There are segments of high utilisation customers...

Completely disagree. The vast majority of customers need to PERCEIVE that they are going to receive value. Not everyone will REALISE that value. Qantas are very good at dangling that carrot. If they weren't, every time QFF devalues their program, there would be a marked drop off in...
