I find if you call Qantas up ASAP after making these sort of blunders, they are fairly good about reversing things for no charge.

Whoa, Whoa, stop the press!!!! You mean QF7 flew Sydney to Houston on one tank? Tasty!

Reading between the lines here ... I think the points were originally in another account and a family transfer was done rather than have the relative book the flight themselves (possibly just needed a points top-up to get the 40K needed). Then upon the unfortunate demise of the pax the family...

Sorry - I missed that implication. So you weren't entitled to access the lounge but flashed your card and snuck in. Are we supposed to be impressed???

Interesting point of view. I assume you are far more experienced and qualified than the average LAME and are working for far less, hence your bitterness. I've got that right - haven't I? And do you feel at all embarrassed by your former comments now that the Qantas media release (that you...

So Qantas introduce a raft of improvements to the FF scheme, with the only pain being a slight increase in points for some services, and they get hit with 50 pages of "his enhancement is bigger than mine!". And you want to encourage this kindergarden behaviour??!?? I don't think Qantas is...

I think that's a big call on the basis of one or two teams trying to clumsily overcome the language barrier whilst selling soup. Compared to the USA version there is very little arrogance or racial ignorance on show - and the two muslims (Mo & Mos?) do a great line in taking the piss out of...

Platinum is passe ..... bronze, silver, gold, platinum. There's only one place left to go :- Unobtainium I vote for FU as the new moniker!

I'm a Wealth Package customer from way back with a Gold Mastercard that only sees the light of day when I do ATM withdrawals from my linked accounts. Ever since they wound back the earning rate I switched all my spend to the "fee-free" Plat Citi Visa. I received the offer to go Diamond...

Not as humorous as most of these .... but at least it's true. I was on a QF A380 to Heathrow recently, and as we were getting ready for departure there was a slight technical delay so the captain had an opportunity to have a longer chat than usual ... only he didn't. My recollection of the...

I'm glad you put the word discussion in inverted commas, because this thread certainly doesn't warrant that label. I would rather have more quality and less quantity, and in my opinion this sort of thread lowers the value of the site.

Re: Now You're Flying Virgin Australia Perhaps by the "shoe bomber" and other instances of pax trying to take the makings of bombs on board planes. Sure - to be perfectly safe they should swab each pax, but RBT has managed to change a lot of peoples' behaviour even though the sampling is...

The question I most want to be answered is :- "Why did I waste my time reading this tripe?" So a minor celebrity is delayed by an aircraft that is deemed un-airworthy after all the passengers are on board. Newsworthy? NO. She tweets the gist of this (you only get 140 characters to play...

Bingo! (We were all waiting for the "Union Bosses" line, weren't we???)

I'm willing to be a test case for the selection criteria algorithm. I was comped SG last November (only by 15 SC but a Comp is a Comp is a Comp) and am more than half-way to requalifying on my own merit. No email as yet. (I notice that Red Roo is lurking so Qantas are interested in the...

I returned from London a few weeks ago and assumed it would be via Singapore, but found out at Heathrow that QF2 refuelled in Bangkok. I was looking forward to my first time in the lounge there (nothing to write home about) but was very disappointed that Qantas were doing secondary checks so...

No apology necessary, Tony, and if there was a "dislikes" option I might even buy into the system.

You ripper! A poll on the poxy "like" button is going to be the opportunity to vent my spleen at this most useless of internet features since the Nigerian email scam. But no .... it seems you can have a choice of buttons rather than a choice to remove it. Can we have another poll please or...

So to summarise ....... When Qantas comps flyers who have not qualified - that's good. When Qantas run double-SC promos that allow people to gain status with a couple of carbon "runs" - that's good. When Qantas allows status to be gained primarily by flying xUPP fares on non-QF metal - that's...

Sorry, but this thread has got so moronic that I can't bring myself to post here in case the delusions and dogma are catching. Can someone please let me know when intelligent debate resumes ... ta.
