Is this something that would normally cause an aircraft to divert? They definitely could've diverted to Melbourne or Adelaide (where I believe NJE has a base) if they ran out of water at just 30 minutes.

Most of the time I just flash the boarding pass and they don't really scan or read it, so I suspect it depends whether they look closely

I think it was likely a mistake by the artist, and it was either too late or too costly to correct. I highly doubt it was intentional. Perhaps they were searching up "Virgin logo", "Virgin aircraft tail" etc. to get reference images for their drawing, not realising that they're looking at the...

I mean to be fair if you asked me whether accessing the lounge 4h30m after your flights counts as "after arrival", I'd say no.

It notes it on the Australia Post website: Christmas Island Airport – 50 Years

I wonder if this is related to them removing QF9/10 from MEL/PER

Hmm. I think when she says "We're still working through that", she means it won't be 40" pitch. Even though 38" isn't uncommon among Qantas' peers in W, it's still disappointing but perhaps unsurprising.

I guess the complexity is that CR+ is only supported on certain fare classes and has a cash payment component, which would complicate Points plus Pay. Speaking of which, I wonder why they added these to CR+. I can only assume it's to show a lower points number, but I'm not sure about the fare...

As far as I can tell yes. I didn't notice any on VH-8ZL. Sad to see they have no closet to hang coats on this aircraft though (I assume the ex-VA aircraft do have that?)

Nice lamb on a 8pm MEL-SYD. The Collins MiQ seats on the ex-GOL aircraft aren't bad either.

SYD-MEL breakfast frittata. Quite underwhelming to be honest (the only other choice ran out before it go to me).

Well, it's not really coming up short because it's not possible to get those 13,125 points in the first place until someone runs one flight number from Brisbane to Western Europe. I agree it's weird that they don't line up though.

Another tip is to look into booking Tokaido/Sanyo Shinkansen tickets early using Smart-EX to get their various discount products. My favourite is the Hayatoku-Green 3 Wide, which lets you book a Green Car incl. Nozomi for a good discount (near that of a regular ordinary car) 3 days or more in...

I think the move to random releases vs. fixed 3xx days out does actually make it easier for newcomers and worse for those more experienced as it's now an even playing ground - you can't plan for the release, and also the benefit for Gold and Silver members having early access is eroded. The only...

I think people would still complain even if they released this information :) To be honest, I suspect it's more than likely the amount of long-haul business seats being released hasn't decreased. It's the growth in QFF members, and probably just as importantly, more and more people being into...

I think the gates in Japan don't actually deny you if you're in the wrong group (often boarded with friends on seperate tickets, expecting them to be declined, but it's fine). They just make a different noise for each status tier. I think there's like 2 different noises for JAL and 3 for ANA.

Wrong thread? moved here

Also to OP: I'm genuinely surprised you got any refund at all! If your original booking was a return ticket, I would've expected re-pricing the 3 flown flights as one-way would've exceeded the cost you paid for your ticket, thus resulting in no refund.

Would it be too much to expect someone working at an airline call centre to realise that a 90% refund for a ¾ flown ticket might be an error, and to double check with their supervisor etc. before giving the customer potentially wrong information? Evidently yes, at least at Qantas/Mindpearl

Did you mean Velocity Points? I don't think you can book Polaris with Qantas Points.
