    Is Qantas deliberately giving incorrect refunds?

    I tried to cancel a reward booking online a couple of weeks ago. Well, the good old Qantas website refused to cancel it and just kept erroring out. So I had to phone the call centre and got a bit of a runaround, but eventually I was told that it had now been cancelled and I could expect my...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I'm QF WP, and will be for the foreseeable future (hopefully). I'm also VA Plat and like many others, I'm letting it bleed out. And, like you, I'm also a *G member, (for life) so I don't care a jot about losing access to VA lounges via Velocity. UA *G will help me out there, as long as the...

    Scams like these

    Gee, that's adventurous. What's gas, by the way If I got a gas bill I'd be concerned.

    Qantas Classic Plus devaluation

    I don't care one little bit about the CR+ devaluation. I would never use CR+, I'd rather just purchase a ticket (probably not on Qantas). Good luck to those that do, but they should really know better. Just my point of view. YMMV.

    Article: Why Airports Reveal Gate Numbers at the Last Minute

    It happens at most of the London terminii, especially for the longer distance trains. For example, London Victoria. You just have to have your wits about you (and keep your phone safely out of sight).

    Have you topped up a UK pension to cover gaps?

    I don't think I'll be joining,, with my AUD 5K pa British pension. 2.5% of nothing is nothing. I guess I'll just have to rely on my indexed Comsuper and Australian Age Pensions.

    Eurostan

    I've flown TK J quite a few times long haul. From CMB and CGK to IST and back quite a few times, and I've found the service to often be quite lackluster, especially from the male flight attendants, who can be rather authoritarian and defenders of the faith (IMO). TK is indeed quite a conflicted...

    No Light Rail to Gold Coast Airport

    Sounds good, but... How many people would actually want to do that? And lug their luggage onto the 760 bus (which would inconvenience almost everyone else). And that's if the 760 came along on time or if at all. Well, that might be your preference, but I'd rather get the tram at Helensvale and...

    Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

    I guess you're talking about the past, not the future.

    Qantas Points Club Discussion

    Everything landed today for me. Hotel and wine vouchers, 150 SC's and 5,000 points. What's not to love. Well, apart from the awful experience I had a couple of days ago trying to cancel a domestic points resevation. That's for another thread I guess.

    New Qantas promos including double status credits (book by 3/9/25; travel 4/9/25 until 22/8/26)

    I made a BA Avios redemption booking on the BA website a few days ago. Of course, it won't let you enter a non-BA FF No. So the solution is to phone the BAC call centre in Newcastle UK and ask the nice agent to enter your QF FF No. No problems, all done with an (imagined) smile in a couple of...

    TK AMS-CGK R/T in J, AUD 2,600

    Probably won't appeal to many, but I've just booked it, departing AMS end-September 2025 and returning mid-May 2026. Best fare on a decent airline I've seen in quite a while. Seems to be widely available for many dates to mid-2026 at least. Here's an example...

    Thank you for your loyalty

    I think I'll sit this one out, as I've already made enough bookings to requalify for WP from September 2026. However, I don't have a real problem with the promo, especially as it's the second one this year. The freebie SC's would have been nice and well timed for me (Sep-Aug qualification...

    QantasLink Airbus A220 Discussion

    Yes but aren't they wholly owned by Qantas, so not really a separate company at all. Just accounting smoke and mirrors? And FWIW, and it's completely irrelevant, I did meet the startup owners of NJS in Adelaide circa 1989 as a CAA officer. As I recall it, they were planning to fly BAE146's.
