    Last QantasLink 717 service

    I recall boarding an AA "717" in Washington and inspecting the manufacturer's plate as I boarded ( don't we all?). The placard was stamped as a DC-9. The relationship is very strong as I assume Boeing inherited all of the DC-9 approvals

    When is the next 2024 Qantas Double status credits offer?

    I know I used to book BCI-LRE or LRE-BCI but in the last DSC promo period these flights were not an attractive option for some reason. What sectors would people suggest for placeholder fares?

    When is the next 2024 Qantas Double status credits offer?

    We all know that at the same time they are running the DSC they also do not run their best priced promotional fares. During the next DSC I'd like to book 4 'placeholder' economy flexible fares setup for converting to international J fares when they are on sale. I'm in no rush.

    Thoughts and Feelings after losing status

    If you think that's bad I've just dropped from both VA and QF Gold to two silvers. I've just done my first departure and survived. I checked in about 70 minutes before international departure and by the time I got through security and immigration I only had about 20 minutes reading at the gate...

    BNE Parking Infringement Notice - what is the status?

    Recently while parking at DFO Brisbane I do recall seeing a "Tow away 2 hours max" type of sign when I parked. When I have returned late to the car there was a ticket on the windscreen.

    Multi-seat pricing - is it ethical?

    Unlike hotels which will generally make multi-night hotel bookings as the average nightly price, airlines charge all seats at the highest price for the seats requested. For example on an upcoming flight 1 and 9 seats per booking are priced as : Seats requested 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...

    United lounge access as VA platinum

    What is the advantage of booking AC through VA? The past two years I've made multi-sector bookings with AC direct on the AC website and then just entered the VA number. It was always cheaper than VA efforts AND the booking was easily managed directly through the AC website. Lounge access was...

    Wise debit card

    @Pushka speaking of Japan when purchasing Shinkansen tickets online the card needs to be a physical card because when you go to collect the ticket the machine wants a physical card to be inserted for linking to the booking. Most of the time we used the Shinkansen app and the tickets were linked...

    Wise debit card

    Clarification on the Jar. The WISE jars are a separate balance which can hold funds but those funds at that time are not available for purchases. For example AUD Balance $5 USD balance $5 JPY balance 10,000 JPY Jar balance 30,000 Any of the cards would work for purchases up to ~11,200 (with...

    Qantas Hotels no longer supplying Tax Invoices

    This is the part that stood out to me. No actual explanation of why an international tech firm is overriding the ATO.
