    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tied the Finnair MMB and it has more information than anywhere on the QF site including breaking down the taxes, but the Grand Total is "IT Fare" which is apparently something to do with a package fare, which is not what I purchased. I purchased a bundle of rights...

    Do I need to fly 4 eligible flights to retain Lifetime Gold?

    My lifetime Ansett Golden Wing is still valid and I have the membership card to prove it. Pity no one recognises it 🥲

    What cheeses me off

    @JohnK Basically all property is subject to CGT. There are many rules relating to occupancy and use, but there is a principal place of residence exemption with complicated rules for actually using it as such. Just putting in furniture and having mail delivered does not make it your PPoR. Dying...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    It was a direct QF website purchase of two return tickets only. Nothing else. So the only information that I paid anything is from my credit card. The law says that if a customer requests a tax invoice it MUST be supplied within 28 days, including the following minimum detail: The Tax invoice...

    You are correct that the NLK flights are treated as international and are therefore GST-free. However, under the GST system they should therefore produce a tax invoice showing zero GST. If it is a business expense a tax invoice confirms the full amount paid and that the GST included in the...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    I tried the link you supplied and it response I received, in about 30 seconds, yet another copy of the 7 page "Itinerary Receipt" which makes zero reference to any payment or break down of the amount I paid. Just the same flight details and all the blurb about bags and cut off times etc. Maybe I...

    I rang QF today at about 2 pm to try to get a tax invoice sent because the "Resend Tax Invoice" sent me an Itinerary with no mention of payments or tax. Hopeless. After 32 minutes waiting for my Premium Consultant as a WP, I spoke to a lady who tried to send me the Itinerary/receipt that I...

    Good J prices: EY MNL-Europe rtn

    If you want a very comfortable and reasonably priced Hotel (A$130- A$150 per night inc breakfast) then I use "The Belmont Hotel" every time I transit MNL. It is not the Hilton but it is a quick and direct walk over the pedestrian bridge from Terminal 3. Hotel is 100 metres away from the...

    Didn't expect this to be my breaking point, but it finally came!

    Did you consider a direct approach to Vanessa Hudson as the new CEO, reminding her of how she has undertaken to do better and providing your example of how they are already failing ? Perhaps a personally addressed letter via registered post, with returned receipt acknowledgement of delivery...

    Qantas hires consultants to improve on-time performance

    .....and return the option to print a boarding pass at check-in, if that is the passenger's preference.

    Qantas International Red Tail Sale

    Emirates have a similar sale (ending the same date) to its destinations, that emails are currently going out to promote. I have not checked the fares on each to see if they are coincidentally, the same.

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Forbes rich list shows Gerry Harvey's net worth as at 26/01/24 as $1.9 billion ($US ?) so maybe at 84 years old he is concerned about his retirement nest egg. Or maybe he enjoys mixing with his customers !

    Scams like these

    I received this one this morning and was wondering if it is random, or do they have access to QFF membership base ?

    Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

    Or the J cabin was full and his schedule meant he had to be on that flight ? No one mentioned he was in any lounge so he may NOT have been granted a Chairman's Lounge key, which seems unlikely, and that should have guaranteed a seat in J ?

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    Dry and like leather - overcooked. Undercooked is still moist and has some softness. Too long on the heat.

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    My last visit to the MEL F lounge a couple of months ago I posted as a total disaster which I put down to the time of day. My Beef Brisket you could have used to resole your shoes. The S&P squid always seems to be the same no matter the time of day because it is cooked fresh and not sitting for...

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    A week ago I booked a weekend on Norfolk Island as the J fares were better, with the current sale. After the week had elapsed I am still awaiting an itinerary and a e-Ticket so I rang this morning to follow up as last time I travelled QF international (a couple of months ago) I had the same...
