    Air India identity theft?

    I've seen quite a few case of stuff like this happening get posted online, for instance there's a few reports of this with QR on FlyerTalk: FF# being replaced on Qatar Account - FlyerTalk Forums and even a post on AFF (albeit by a new account without much detail). My best guess is rogue airport...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Now taking off on QF60D. Same tech crew as last night, but new cabin crew flown in from Australia for this trip. Wonder what the knock-on effects of this will be (will tomorrow's QF60 be unaffected?)

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I would've preferred JL51 but I didn't think they'd let me since QF60D is scheduled to leave only 30min later. Of course it's now 30min past scheduled departure and it seems like there's still people checking in.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Have disembarked now (5am local), waiting for bags (hotel vouchers issued). Total time sitting on the plane not going anywhere was 6h20m. I can see today's QF26 is zeroed out, but QF60 is still J8Y9.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Tonight's QF60 is cancelled. Currently sitting in the plane (boarded 10:40pm local, now 3:55am+1d local) waiting for HND immigration to gather enough staff to allow us back in. Intervening time was spent fixing an aircraft issue that was ultimately unfixable. Captain says the issue was...

    Discounts for Buying a New Sony Phone?

    Yeah, the HK/TW version has better 5G band compatibility within Australia, specifically because the JP version is missing band n7 and n26, and likely some CA combos involving those. I still ended up getting the JP version because it ended up being cheaper back when the Yen was weak + tax free...

    Discounts for Buying a New Sony Phone?

    The new Xperia 1 VI (I've got one that I picked up in Japan) works fine with VoLTE on Telstra. Regardless, I would strongly recommend against importing a non-AU phone unless you are aware of the technicalities of getting them working (if you that's even possible). Also, even though my Xperia 1...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Daytime QF79 MEL-NRT. As per usual the starter Bento box was good but the main was mid. Pre-landing snack

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Chicken on last night's SYD-MEL. Not bad, wish there was a PDB though.

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    I assume Qantas Group are using the new aircraft as a chance to do their usual thing regarding employee benefits (I think the contract changes when they move to a new aircraft type?)

    The definitive thread on Qantas IT gripes

    Not sure if this is an IT issue or an intentional limitation, but it's currently 12pm and I have two flights coming up - one domestic at 5pm, connecting to an international flight tomorrow at 9am. Same PNR. Using Online Check-In and entering the PNR, it only shows me the the domestic flight. No...

    Question about Domestic/intl flight

    JQ and QF flights have seperate pricing tables so won't be priced together anyway. Even if it was QF+QF, I think it'll only charge you J points for the economy leg if that's cheaper than pricing as two seperate legs.

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Every time I fly to/from Japan, I end up sitting around for at least 30+ minutes after finishing my Japanese entree before getting the main. The Japanese entree is always served before the other meals, and the main is always served after the other meals. I now avoid the Japanese meal if I know...

    The Qantas Newbie Questions Thread

    IIRC There's two showers male, two showers female, and one unisex shower. The annoying thing is rooms are combination toilet/showers so people will hog them even if they're just using the toilet. Additionally, there are no paper towels just a cloth towel, so after someone uses the bathroom and...

    Qantas rolls out Classic Plus Flight Rewards

    I don't believe so, although I do wonder if it's smart enough to price the CRs instead of you're building an itinerary where it'll be cheaper (even if it won't be on an individual flight basis). Probably not.
