    Airports absurdly close to the city

    Name Changes not permitted on international revenue tickets

    The upshot I rang Qantas and as I was the travel arranger, selected the refund option. Turns out that I had no rights to consent to a refund from the Flight credit So my friend dropped in and gave consent during the call The end result $150 cancellation fee No idea how it was calculated...

    Name Changes not permitted on international revenue tickets

    Yeah I’d seen that That’s just free cash for QF if the person doesn’t use the flight credit… Alternatively it’s an expensive way to score a neighbour free seat. Book the spare seat in their name and then do a no show at the boarding gate….

    Superannuation Discussion + market volatility
