According to the story - 45min to return to the airport. Was it that hard to find?

Thanks to every one for the answers. Especially NeverEnoughLeave who joined just to answer my question - thanks and Welcome. So Marc Newson decor and Neil Perry didn't get this far North

Qantas have an "Associate" or "Regional" lounge in Mackay. I can not say that it is very celar on the website whether this means it is a Qantas Domestic lounge and what the differences are. My flight is QF marketed (ie QF flight number) by JQ operated. So one world rules do not provide...

I and many others here do spend our own money - I own the company so it is my money. In fact I reckon one of the moderators here is tighter than a fishes backside - and that's water proof! Last time I travelled in paid business it was the Global 2 for 1 deal. I can't/don't afford long haul J...

I would not say the restricted points upgrades is sad or spiteful - even though I use them where possible. Understand that QF welcome you to that business seat at the retail price. Now a points upgrade say 25,000 points for a SYD-HKG segment upgrade that would cost at least $2500 more in...

I think the Business class lounges answer this way because it is not untrue and ultimately until you are walking down the air bridge with an Economy seat number on the BP you wont start to come to terms with the reallity of what is going to happen (ie hours in small seat). What they say is not...

I think the biggest lesson to be learnt is not to book simple domestic flights through a TA. Generally it limits what you know about the booking and complicates any changes. However not using the TA will not help these issues -

As an Australian from Adelaide I am frequently told off for this type of paedestrian offence overseas. When you walk around a town where running into another paedestrian is a remote chance we were never tought the keep left or keep right rule.

They get some free alcohol to numb the pain of the realisation that any claim they have to status is tenuous at best.

I also am reminded about the limmitted collective inteligence of the human race at the baggage carasoul. The part I hate are the trolleys. If I designed an airport there would be poles that prevented the trolleys getting with in two metres of the carousal. Then everyone could just grab their...

On my first flight in China they played an animated video. It was a cartoon about showing appropriate behavior on board. No language problems at all. It was pretty obvious. Man takes his shoes off and the man beside him dies. Even covered issues like wearing deoderant and flushing the...

Careful and accurate choice of words here. Just because there are 9 B and 9 O and 9 X seats in Economy for example does not mean there are 27 economy seats. So the reservation system is not very good at telling about passenger capacity until a class is nearly full (less than 9 seats). I have...

Sounds like you have the refund already. The best you could have dreamed for is for them to arrange the alternate carrier flight but there would have been many in the list before they started to do this for points funded flight - given they seldom do it for cash funded flight in case of a delay.

There may be nothing of value in it to you but the value is in it for Qantas. Look at the ads in it. Most magazines, newspapers etc get most of their revenue from the adverts. And how easy to sell the adverts when distribution targets those either spending a lot of their own money (Watch and...

I agree the sandwiches were good - now doubt expensive becasue of the freshness issue. A carefully crafted scroll could go several days and a couple of re-heats. My gripe is with some of the refreshment offerings. Those deluxe cookies they offer carry an amazing 20g+ in fat. I am not a fat...

I remember my first visit to the Melbourne F Lounge. Some one was complaining bitterly about their J seat allocation. It was an upstairs isle and he did not want it upstairs of some other trivial matter. Apparently his profile should have prevented such an outragious mistake (and no he was...

Finally a resolution! Because it involved some QF flights I asked QF to get involved. Much to me surprise and pleasure - they did. After the QF involvement the games stopped. The alleged $450pp fee from Qantas was corrected to the $275pp that Qantas actually charge and FCBT got their refund...

This is possibley the biggest barrier to any progress and the basis of nearly all wars. If this is really your view I'd go straight to court but do not expecta sympathetic bench.

Sushi one is in Ashley St and well worth it if you like Sushi. Splash out and have the beef and Uni (see urchin) and Toro (fatty tuna belly).

Further update. They want to chage the $550 twice - once for each passenger. Which is not what they agreed - the previous deal is actually further down in the email now demmanding the extra 550. HELP - SCREAM - is there no end to the lows that they will go to. I checked out Austlii and it...
