    double status credits booking but QF has cancelled one flight and rebooked as Air NZ - do I still get the double status credits?

    Aaargghh - this is so frustrating and such a waste of my time. After my email on 2 July with all requested documentation rang them today - almost a month later to try to sort it out. Agent seemed good and put in another request. Just now received an email that my request was UNSUCCESSFUL...

    SMS Login Verification - Argh

    Except they didn't work for me when trying to check my mother's account at her request (she is on a cruise in Alaska). She finally received the text message 10 hours (not 10 minutes) after I tried to log in when she turned her phone back on once in port and awake! The alternative method...

    SMS Login Verification - Argh

    I am a fan of 2 factor authentication. However, my mother is in Alaska on a cruise and sent me a rather cryptic email about missing points and asking me to check her QFF account. Yes - I am her travel "EA". Tried the 'verify another way' option, answered the questions and the system told...

    double status credits booking but QF has cancelled one flight and rebooked as Air NZ - do I still get the double status credits?

    Hi The night before I travel, QF has cancelled my QF flight and rebooked me on Air New Zealand. I assume I will lose the double status credit for this flight as it was for QF flights on QF metal. Does anyone know what happens in this circumstance? Not happy :( Thanks

    Ethiopian 737 Max 8 crash and Fallout

    It seems incredible that an industry that supposedly values safety allows safety features that are optional :( https://www.canberratimes.com.au/business/companies/doomed-jets-lacked-two-key-safety-features-that-boeing-sold-as-extras-20190322-p516f2.html

    Worst in-flight meal you've received?

    A colleague of mine was once served a nice Y meal on a domestic QF flight. However, when he unwrapped it there was a fly buzzing around inside. He did receive a couple of bottles of wine and a $50 voucher for the uuuurrrggghh moment though :)

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Yes - Qf1520 was diverted back to Canberra before returning to Sydney - I know because I heard it go past my house and looked at flight radar 1520

    Don't let a delay ruin your holiday

    I once had a delay of 7 hours on a QF flight from Melbourne to London. Flew from CBR to Melbourne and on arrival at the lounge I was offered a spa treatment and then advised the flight from Melbourne would be delayed until 12.30 am. Ok (and spa treatment nice). Boarded the flight, taxied...

    How should AFF receive new poster "rants"......

    I was surprised by some of the reactions to the newbie - who had a serious problem with an airline and was asking for help. I've seen the "they must be hiding something", "there are two sides to the story" type responses on another community (related to cruise lines) and frankly I was...

    Man-spreading

    I was impacted by a recent man-spreader on a flight from Canberra to Sydney. The couple (man in the middle seat, wife in the window seat) had their early morning flight cancelled (as often happens on the route with the most cancelled q flights) and they were rebooked onto a slightly later...

    Large plane circling above Canberra? Not on flightradar

    I saw those but they didn't seem to match the timings (although I guess the sounds could have been affected by the wind)

    Large plane circling above Canberra? Not on flightradar

    Not sure at all fairbasa - although I have seen some RAAF planes and helicopters on FR24 (and some police planes too). It could be that one as well. I saw there was also an emirati diplomatic plane in Canberra yesterday - perhaps that one left late. We hear lots of planes overhead...

    Large plane circling above Canberra? Not on flightradar

    Thank you! That would explain it and why it wasn't appearing on flight radar. Cheers
