Hi my family and I were flying BME-MEL direct on 30 September. This date happens to coincide with the tail end of Victorian school holidays so I would assume there was healthy demand. Flight has been cancelled and now we are flying via PERTH. There now only seems to be 2 direct flights per week...

Hi I have minimal experience with stock market terminology although there was a similar offer a few years ago with Qantas points which I managed to navigate. So my question : does 10 trades mean 10 shares ? Do I have to buy and sell prior to 30 September for the points benefit? Can I buy now...

Hi has anyone rented through Turo whether in the USA or elsewhere? Car rental prices are crazy in the USA at the moment and I need a car for days 18 ex Los Angeles. The prices and car choices on Turo are very tempting. I would only rent from an experienced host who upon reading their reviews do...

my experience with a back up booking on same departure date has been mixed: no issues or could not complete the booking had to call or booking confirmed but got follow up email to contact Qantas. I had one agent say there is a risk of auto cancel yet another agent said I could keep 2 bookings...

the flight can be whenever, you just need to book before end of September to benefit

While I agree March 2023 is a long way out, myself and others also thought travelling in 2022 was a long way out when we booked flights via Japan in 2021. It all fell to pieces due to Japan not opening up . The Japanese xenophobic attitude to foreigners in the current covid environment is still...

Also depending on which call centre you get they won't understand what you wrote

yes I have a default discount code with my profile but I enter the same code manually without logging in to get an even cheaper rate depending on location compared to logging in. I have also found that if I add my profile to an existing booking in which I did not log in in the first place it...

On two recent Avis bookings, Broome and Launceston , if I logged into my Avis preferred account to search for a car the price was more than double compared to not logging in ! The same higher rate also applied via booking through the Qantas website. Is this always the case ? I also recently...

I am not really sure where to post this. I have been away for 3.5 weeks and have started catching up on the various threads. I am gobsmacked to read all the recent terrible experiences such as seats cancelled by mistake, stranded passengers and other stressful situations. Time prevents me from...

Hi all. I am missing something here ? Seat selection can be made for each booking online can it not ? I have had my family of four on the same flight each with a separate booking on a number of occasions and I seat us together one by one.

So what's the bad rap with LAX? No doubt others have been through many more times than me. I have found that bag collection and clearing immigration/customs is no worse or better than many airports around the world. My experience with check in and departing LAX was however a mess irrespective of...

No.....whenever I speak to Manilla it is always frequent flyer services......never direct reservation help. They are very helpful within their sphere of what I perceive to be their responsibility. They do however shortcut matters for you when a reservation/ticketing matter needs attention,

I had excellent service last night from a lady in Cape Town named Kauthar with the added bonus of the call answered within a few minutes. Once my request was dealt with I entered into chat mode and started with……” Cape Town call centre has been getting a bit of a hammering lately “. She did not...

No need to apologise RooFlyer ! It is not your fault that Qantas deems that status deserves the ability to be able to speak to someone who knows how to handle terribly complex left field requests such as change a booking, calculate a fare/points/taxes difference, know the cancellation rules and...

It's just not right. There is nothing wrong with being recognised as having status with privileges. However whether we are bronze, platinum, yellow or purple when we need to call we should ALL be able to speak to ANY call centre location and they should ALL have a similar skill set and level of...

I mean available on QF website as a paid fare as an Emirates flight with a QF flight number.

8 July SYD to ROME is available for $1655 with EK as a QF codeshare

Hi cathalm8 while not as good value as award seats you could use points plus pay on say a Qantas Emirates code share flight. It helps reduce the cash outlay and you earn points flying. I ended up doing that in economy after all my business class awards seats fell through on partner airlines.

While certainly trying not to defend Qantas or criticise others, I also booked CX and JAL award seats 11 months in advance for travel to Europe during the Australian winter. We were still heavily in the pandemic when I booked. We all including the airlines hoped we would be through the pandemic...
