    Adding stopovers in Expertflyer?

    For the first option, you need to check as two separate one ways, breaking it at SIN Check for Departing HEL arriving SIN Connecting LHR Airlines QF for your date Check for Departing SIN arriving SYD airlines QF for the second part. Check for H in both. Then - need to check the fare rules for...

    Bonza Airline Discussion

    Probably not just the degree of risk, but the "lumpy" nature of potential claims. Most travel insurance incidents are relatively regular and affect a relatively small number of people for each one (a plane load or two being about the maximum). The regularity means that the cost of claims can...

    Fairer & Simpler Enhanced QFF Optus Plans effective 12 April 2024

    Not quite. There are some legacy plans (no longer available to choose, but still active for those one them). Optus customer service have tried to convince me to change, but when they looked at the old plan, conceded that they can see why I wouldn't. The larger versions of the Optus Choice...

    Don't be so sure. I don't know, but a lot of Admiralty law also applies to aircraft. In many cases, services supplied to ships (and I think aircraft) can create liens against the vessel. Arresting the vessel until payment is made could be quite legal. There are many cases where owners of...

    Bumped off oversold flight as a WP

    Agreed - but I think this is a manual decision, not system automated - although it may bump people who are not checked in. I doubt that it would automatically bump people checked in. Yet another reason to have connections on the same PNR - even if your "connection" is fine timewise, it is not...

    Bumped off oversold flight as a WP

    I am not sure I believe the explanation. I didn't think the "jigsaw" that the "system" does allows for bumping pax booked on one flight to make room for others not already booked on the flight. It would do its best to assign pax from other flights into vacant seats, but not actively remove...

    Just about does - as long as the service is not provided. It is not the airline the money comes back from, it is the merchant acquirer providing the Credit card facility (normally a bank, but also Amex) that pays. Visa or Mastercard should be fine (different banks etc.), Amex could be more...

    LAX to SYD Award Flight Booked but Flying out of SFO, What to Do?

    It doesn't say you can claim $10,000 AUD. It says: As you are claiming damages, you will have the onus on proving your damages. Just being a day late is not going to justify compensation, let alone hugely expensive fares. You are going to have to prove actual loss. You will face the...

    LAX to SYD Award Flight Booked but Flying out of SFO, What to Do?

    It doesn't necessarily have to be the next available flight, and if you misconnect due to later arrival or delay from the AS flight, it is not Qantas' problem - it is Alaskan who are on the hook to organise the alternatives and look after you.

    Lounge Access [Affordable ways to obtain]

    Get someone with access to guest you in. Definitely the most affordable, but did you want to guarantee entry to any particular lounge at any particular time.

    QF award booking on AA changed not enough transit time

    The indent got a bit screwed up pasting out of EF. The next line ALL - COUNTRY CA 05JUN24 - INF is supposed to be indented, and I believe part of that first line - only applying to flights going to Canada.

    Hong Kong Octopus Discussion

    Or skip the tourist version, and just use regular. Still using the same Octopus cards we started around 2007 - just top up as needed. Can now see the balance via the App (can actually scan the RFID via iPhone to read the card in the app - sort of neat). Physical card doesn't run out of...

    Seat selection - blocked seats on Qantas site vs Expert Flyer

    That changed during the time the flights were on sale - so I can understand the confusion. Booked those flights in June 2023 for travel in December 2023, and call centre happily assigned seats for WP and SG (had to call up, couldn't do it online). I believe the restriction to only WP1 and CL...

    Add card to Apple Pay before Card arrives?

    Replacement cards are also another consideration. In many cases, these automatically update long before the replacement card arrives.

    Who Profits when You Earn Points/Miles ❓🤔

    That slide only referred to points being sold to partners (which would include anywhere revenue is earned from points, including QF Wine, Insurance, Hotels etc. and any one else paying for points - which I am sure includes partner airlines). The only marketing references are actually to...

    Who Profits when You Earn Points/Miles ❓🤔

    You are completely confusing Woolworths rewards points with Qantas FF points. Those Woolworths promotions don't even touch QF at all. When you choose to redeem Woolworths points for Qantas points (either automatically when you reach 2,000 WW points, or when you change from bank for Christmas...

    Who Profits when You Earn Points/Miles ❓🤔

    Not correct - every qantas point you get from Woolies is one that Woolies has paid Qantas for - the fact that they are not individually transacted on a person by person basis does not change that fact.
