    Qantas Increases Legroom Charges; Changes to Row 4 selection on most 737 flights

    There are quite a few misconceptions still floating around here - and I don't think the real devaluation for WP1 is as great as it seems. The real issue is that QF have decided to charge for those sears - that is an impost on everybody (regardless of status, and ignore T-80). The T-80 unblock...

    Lets talk about the 787 windows

    They shouldn't - and there is nothing actually in the conditions of carriage that actually permits Qantas to do that. The applicable section regarding this in Section 5.6 - Seating selection and allocation states: Once seated, in theory, unless the reason is operational, safety related or for...

    Lets talk about the 787 windows

    No - the instruction / request only has to be reasonable. The problem with that, is that reasonable in the circumstances can be a very grey area. Some things are clearly reasonable (especially if safety related) like bring your seatback upright for take off, and all baggage for people in the...

    Australia's newest airline? [Wishlist]

    The trouble with some of these wishlist items is that I would also like an airline that was financially stable enough that I could trust that if I bought a ticket they would still be in business when it came time to take the flight.

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    For me, Qantas started to kill CR the moment they started marketing redemptions as somehow being a useable alternative to cash for anybody, rather than what they really were - an opportunity for loyal customers to pick up undesirable and unsold seats cheap to travel when no-body else really...

    "... we'll shortly announce a major investment to improve our Frequent Flyer program"

    Don't see any correlation. PC/PC+ makes no difference to the ability to generate non-flying points, or to spend them on CR. It only adds some small status benefit / incentive for infrequent flyers. Anyone flying enough to make a serious difference would get the status anyway. Anyone...

    Booked as such through the QF web-site it will be the one PNR and all luggage will be checked through - you should receive both boarding passes in Sydney.

    Downgraded without notification - what are my options?

    That is what Qantas would like you to think - as it makes it look better for them, and they can then invoke various exceptions in the conditions of carriage - but this is not an operational requirement, it is a commercial decision. An operational requirement would affect the flight in...

    Downgraded without notification - what are my options?

    Did you ask to be accommodated in 'J on an alternative flight? The Qantas conditions of carriage make the choice of travelling in the lower class,, or being accommodated in the original class on a reasonably available alternative Qantas flight the option of the customer.

    Qantas ticket class visibility?

    Also not wanting to take this down the complicated rabbit hole, but the prices aren't actually applied to the fare "letter" codes like that. For a single sector, it does end up working out that way, but the pricing is actually applied to the fare basis code. For example for BNE-SYD there are...

    Emirates Business Saver Cancellation Costs/Possible?

    The change fee is $400/$250 for changes made prior to the scheduled departure. If you no show, then want to change (possibly to a later flight) the fee to do so is not the change fee, but the $800 penalty (plus fare difference). The following wording appears in the fare rules

    Qantas selling a ticket but can't tell baggage allowance

    Most significant carrier application applies to "published baggage rules", and this does not include the QC allowance, or any elite allowance other than something provided by an alliance (OW extra baggage) - which does not apply here anyway. As it is QF checking you in, they may allow you to...

    Amex via ApplePay rejected by POS terminals

    There are some terminal peculiarities with Amex cards. As others have said, at some merchants it won't accept contactless Amex, but needs to be inserted. I have seen other merchants with multiple terminals, and Amex declined at one, and staff immediately respond - that particular terminal...

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    Amex bookings through the website also use Expedia - unless you are consuming a travel credit, or really need some other benefit, far better booking direct or using a real travel agent - chaining multiple OTA means that you end up at the mercy of all of them - and are not seen as a preferred...

    Changes to how you use your $450 Travel Credit

    I think it depends on how the systems interact for the booking. Direct booking through QF website using an Amex card for multiple Pax charges the total amount, but send the charge as two transactions to Amex - as the passenger details are included in the extended reference data.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF catering seem to be getting confused - that looks much more like the quiche option. QF513 BNE-SYF 13 March offered scrambled eggs, quiche or frittata, and the frittata was actually frittata and looked like this (tasty enough, but everything was only luke warm)

    Qantas / Lufthansa interline question

    As long as you can get your FF number into the booking to lodge the request, then yes you can.

    Qantas frequent flyer with virgin ?

    If you have QF and anything else bookings on the same PNR, doesn't the previous / next flight segment to the QF one always show in the QF MMB regardless of who the flight is on? That was always my understanding.
