So I just checked my account - no credit card fee - just the ticket fare. I don't think I have the will to fight VA on this, but it is completely ridiculous, IMO, that they don't repay this when it is VA who cancelled the flight, not me. I don't like to pay a CC fee, but I understand that is...

I've changed to a Friday - where QF9 will be operating the MEL-PER leg (for now). But when I access my booking now, it shows both flights - the old flight and the new one - my biggest concern is that they haven't done this right. I will call again to ensure that the ticket is issued asap...

OffT - I get the numbing injection and request the laughing gas as well when I get my fillings done haha. OnT Actually, I spoke to them today and they said they will change it, but I'm waiting for the new e-ticket to come through which is getting me really worried they stuffed something up. I...

That's a great question. It's all on the same PNR, so I assume QF would have to put me up in a hotel in Perth and I go the next day? 1664349589 Yeh I'll be trying to get moved to a different day. Problem is dealing with QF agents these days is worse than visiting the dentist!

I was flying on a Thursday, which is why the flight was changed. I'm planning on calling Qantas to see if I can change days because the worse service, lounge and also the risk of an aircraft change to a 737 is not something I'm keen on.

Hi All, I was booked to fly QF 9 from MEL all the way through to LHR in November. One of the key attractions was the ability to use the QF F Lounge in MEL (OW Emerald). I have just received an email about a change to my MEL-PER leg, which is now QF 779 and then onto QF 9 from Perth. Also, QF...

Hi All, I have just received an email changing my flight time, and this change doesn't suit me. Furthermore, VA have cancelled the flight I was on, so I need to go and book with QF. I called VA and they said they would refund me the fare, but not the surcharge for using a CC. Is this even...

Yeh I'm wondering the same thing, I'm not sure if anyone has the answer to that at this stage it seems.

I think mine was straight away - I'd say roughly 24 hours from the time I applied.

Hahaha. Don't get me started on award ticketing issues with Qantas, I could write a book on that topic.

Like you, I definitely enjoy eating meat dishes, but for health reasons I'm trying to eat less meat and more vegetables. And I've had some pretty decent vegetarian meals on QF and other airlines - even BA of all airlines! For those people who are vegetarians, vegans, or don't eat meat for...

I'm not a vegetarian, but to me this does appear to be a mistake IMO, particularly in the world we live in today; however, I don't see this really hurting QF in any major way. While I think QF may lose more business from this, the lack of competition in Australia will likely mean QF won't suffer...

Have to agree here - the HH Diamond for me is pretty useful and if other status match offers come up, it would be nice to be platinum to take advantage of higher tiers in other programs where platinum equivalent tiers offer much more enhanced benefits like Qantas Plat vs Qantas Gold.

I see, thanks for that. Thanks all for the tips. As I will be diamond till March 2023, I will wait till April/May and then apply for it then, hopefully if I'm able to secure platinum with VA.

So it is best to wait till May 2023 to upgrade then? Sorry I'm confused by your last couple of sentences - you said if I get it in April 23, I'll have diamond till 31 March 25, but you also say if if I get it in December 23, I'll have diamond till 31 March 25? Did you mean March 26? Cheers

Actually that is what I had said to my mum initially - let's just forget about the return points because there is a chance QF will stuff this up. I'm literally furious at how this is played out. I hadn't considered emailing Stephanie Tully - does anyone have her email? Because I'll do anything...

A bit of an update so far - as I suspected, the 'new' Qantas agent we dealt with after the stuff up happened, who had promised to call today, as expected, didn't call - neither did anyone else. We called and were able to be put on with a supervisor, who after a very long hold told us she...

Ah thanks for the advice! Because I would definitely consider going to a small claims court. Actually another friend of mine did say in a court of law they would have to provide that recording. Qantas promised to call my mum back tomorrow - and I've said to her that she needs to record that...

Thanks for the responses all. I will wait till well after my status lapses next year and then apply for it.

UPDATE: So my biggest nightmare has occurred - which shows the complete lack of competence by overseas Qantas call-centre staff. We called to ask for the return leg to be cancelled and the agent said this would not be a problem - she told us my mum would get 75k points back and $90 in taxes...
