Anyone know if this has been enabled today with the weather issues in Sydney?

Came to say something similar. I previously worked a hospitality job and we were trained to de-escalate situations like this by making empty promises to customers like "I'm very sorry sir we don't have any rooms available right now but I will put a request in the system for you and give you...

Mine is when places that only take card payments add a card surcharge on to the displayed price. If the only form of payment comes with an added surcharge, why not just include it in the price?

Looks like XAX288 from KUL to SYD is diverting to BNE

A flight from HND (ANA 879) did land around 11am AEDT on the east-west runway.

This flight diverted to BNE

QF426 (MEL-SYD) has diverted to NTL

The only place in the world I've had items confiscated is in Australia. And I fly through the States alot with the same items that were taken from me here.

So I wouldn't be surprised with some reasonably gentle throwing to save time (compared to walking over and back each bag), but obviously the lifting up over your head and slamming down is completely malicious behaviour and not just being done because it's more convenient or a quicker way to...

Assuming baggage handlers in airports all over the word are all similarly paid, should we expect the same treatment of our luggage everywhere, or is this something unique to Aussie culture for lower paid workers to do their job so carelessly and purposely damaging customer's property?

According to the Airline Earning Tables on Qantas.com, both E and W on Finnair should credit as Premium Economy for flights taken after 11 May 2022. See: https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/earn-points/airline-earning-tables/earn-category-tables.html#finnair

It's not just international flights, my upcoming domestic fares within Australia are about double what I paid pre-pandemic.

That's terrifying to watch as someone who is about to check a bag to Melbourne. I think I might see if I can squeeze it all into carry-on instead. One of the bags is even thrown so hard it misses the belt and falls over the edge on the other side around 0:40.

True but it's 10 SC and 800 points? I'm not too worried about missing out on those! Anyway I worked out with the change fee and the surcharge to book a JQ fare through QF, if I really wanted to do this it's actually cheaper just to buy a brand new ticket on JQ and throwaway my QF booking...

Agree. I travel in the US a lot on AA and never had an issue with cabin bags. However it may happen to the lower (or do we say higher?) boarding groups.

Yes was to change to same flight as my niece and nephew but I think we will just travel separately, it's not worth the additional cost and all the issues you mention. Have also realised that there would be no lounge access since it's a different terminal.

I have a Qantas Melbourne to Sydney flight that I want to change to a Jetstar option on the same day. This flight is available to book through Qantas when making a new flight booking, but not shown as an option when changing my existing Qantas flight online. So not possible online, but does...

Not at all, I'd been looking at that that specific date/time multiple times for several days (comparing a few different airlines and options) before going through to buy. It's about a month in advance, early January. Reading between the lines, would the system increase the price as the date...

Why do we accept this as ok and normal in this country? In other parts of the world when an airline cancels a flight at short notice you would be entitled to a free rebooking, on another airline if necessary, any reasonable expenses covered, plus additional compensation from the airline.

So it was $181 - 7 left at this price, then minutes later it's $243 - 6 left at this price. Seems our interpretation of "at this price" is very different. No email from Jetstar came unfortunately. Looks like I've got no choice but to pay the increased price... The only positive, it's still...
