    Things Qantas Does & Doesn't Do Well

    It always amazes me that free to air TV has Qantas (and some times Virgin) sales as "news" items on their morning and evening news bulletins, with examples of how much customers will pay. How is that news ? More likely part of the broadcaster's "contra" contribution.

    Things Qantas Does & Doesn't Do Well

    Having a look at https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/qantas-delays-cancellations.52193/ confirms that QF does not do reliability (or recovery) well. It used to be allow an extra day for delays and cancellations but now it is 2 or 3 days - to be safe. QF's combative...

    Sydney Meetup/Dinner Saturday 12 April 2025 19:30 @ The Winery

    My comment was on the basis that if the outdoor area was a preference, but on the day it is raining, the veranda would be the best option. Daylight saving will have finished but potentially still pleasant outside. Noisy inside.

    Sydney Meetup/Dinner Saturday 12 April 2025 19:30 @ The Winery

    I walked past The Winery this morning in the Sydney rain. As long as the reservation is on the veranda it should be OK for wet or dry weather. Otherwise lots of outside tables that were totally unsuitable in the rain. All I know about Chin Chin is it gets very busy.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    The staff member did take a photo of the screen as was not sure how to do a screen shot. Even as a Bronze they knew to not trust anything QF says on a screen and retain evidence of the QF system message.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Had a staff member register for DSC (with my encouragement) as they will travel enough to move them to Silver. No big deal but better than being Nobody. They did the registration on-line three times and three times it said "Congratulations you are registered and will shorty receive a...

    Senate Inquiry on Pay on delay

    QF operate in or from locations that are already subject to UK/EU 261 and in countries such as Philippines and Canada that have compulsory requirements to protect pax when flights are delayed or cancelled. They do not make a big deal about their fares being inflated because of the compensation...

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    Struggling to understand the relevance of a fight film to this thread ?? the DSC promotion has now finished.

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    Same here. My usual QFi destinations had J price increases as much as $1500 above what I normally have paid without there being DSC. I will watch to see if now the DSC are finished will the prices reduce. During the DSC promo, doing a price comparison in J with CX to similar destinations on the...

    Qantas double status credits: Register & book between 12-18 March 2025

    QF is its own worst enemy. I am trying to book SYD-MNL-HKG-SIN-SYD in J in Feb 2026. Every QF multi city search generously will only book me in whY from SYD-MNL and MNL-HKG. HKG to SIN CX J and QF J from SIN to SYD ! WTF ! The DSC are not worth the hassles that QF creates when they will not even...

    What cheeses me off

    My understanding in NSW is that if you defer the AG's Dept reinstate you to the current Juror list and you will receive another "invitation".

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    Where are you seeing two unallocated J seats. On Monday 17th I was told there were no J seats left on 156 and when I started running through alternatives, suddenly they "found" one J seat. They stuffed me around with dealing with second person on the booking till they insisted I had to pay a...

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    Yes I agree. That is what I told them (South Africa) but the person referred to their supervisor and they said "No" the new price applies. By that stage I had had enough of QF and cancelled the booking entirely. Yet another reason to dump QF - consistently inconsistent.

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    We were going through to SYD so QF158 gets us in to MEL too late. The +1 says "no thanks" to an early departure after what could be a late evening. There was no SYD direct available in J. They "found" me one J seat on QF 156 but if the second person then travelled in whY they said the booking...

    Annual NZ Dinner: AKL 8 March 2025

    Those on QF154 to MEL on Sunday 9 March will have received notification that it has been cancelled and been moved to QF152 at 0605. There are no remaining J seats on QF156 I am told. Typical QF - either you are delayed or cancelled. I have cancelled my booking and we will now not be able to...

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Thanks. Yes, I normally do insert the ABN when paying cash, but this time I wanted to use the QBR accumulated points, which I think I can only use when logged into the QBR portal.

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    The QF website is a disgrace for the "Business Rewards" portal. I just tried to log in to make a booking and after entering the details and password and the security number sent to my phone, I kept getting an error message that "something went wrong". I finally get in after about 3 attempts and...

    AFF Cruise #3.

    Is this a repositioning cruise as there does not appear to be a single supplement ? I might be interested. The +1 gets seasick so cruising is a "No NO".

    Wise debit card

    Interesting as I, touch wood, have never had an issue in the many years I have been using Wise. I find them to be "as good as any bank" which is not setting the bar too high. I have had some very large transactions delayed a couple of days, just like the banks do for new account transfers, and...
