    You know you are a frequent flyer when ...

    ... you notice the mat to stand on for security screening has been replaced at your local airport. The staff were thrilled I pointed it out and said they really like the new mat, the contrast makes it easier to see where to stand and the darker colours look nicer.

    Qantas Call Centre Long Wait Times

    Oh OK thanks @Ade, don't recall a pay with points option in the menu. I am thinking the sequence may matter as the nature of the call determined by the selection may route it offshore if it is considered an 'easy' call

    This is my experience for several months now - only get HBA about 20% of the time. Lately the wait was 1-2 mins is more like 10-15mins experienced in the past couple of weeks. And the variation of agent competency offshore is still an issue: I had to call three times to get someone who knew...
